Scenic Route

Verse Five of the Metzgerhund Retreat series celebrates taking advantage of benefits one was born with. It's also an homage to those who have an advantage like that, but still have the desire and drive to do something with themselves that might be completely different---or outright opposite---of their gifts.

The guys in Metzgerhund are well versed with that concept. Which is probably why, when dozens of insanely beautiful teenaged girls showed up at Sentry Ridge to audition for a dance video shoot, Billy, Calvin, Jason, and Sam quickly made friends with a few of them who had fascinating additional plans for their lives.

Wait a second…did I forget to mention Reggie's name? Metzgerhund's Minister of social affairs? The band's biggest flirt? The reason I didn't mention him was because he was nowhere to be seen this entire time. Was he uncharacteristically hiding from these girls?

No. Reggie sequestered himself in the practice shed to work on one of his new hip hop songs. Billy was the only one who found out about this. He heard part of Reggie's new song, and found it to have a great sound and beat to it. More specifically, a dance beat.
