A/N: I know this seems fairly short, but the content makes up for the lenghth

Several days after the hearing had taken place the Board of Parole members got together to discuss what should be done in the case of our favorite Blues singing, loveable petty crime criminals.

"Well Reed, what do you think," asked Kylie Mackay?

" I think they should be given parole," he replied.

"Why," asked Cheryl Collins?

"Because a story that far-fetched sounding has got to be true. Plus here is the receipt from the Cook County Tax Assessors office made out to Jake and Elwood Blues for St. Helen of the Blessed Shroud orphanage in Calumet City, Illinois."

"But giving them parole, Reed. Couldn't that be dangerous," Cheryl asked?"

"Not really Cheryl," said Mitchell Turner said before Reed could answer, " These boys pulled this to save the orphanage they grew up in. I mean it's not like anyone was killed here."

"Well except for those two Nazis in the Ford Pinto," Chandler said.

"Yeah but see that could have been avoided. Their the ones who decided to chase The Blues. Plus they were Nazis," Kylie said.

"But they were still people," Cheryl countered

"True but if they had just moved when they saw the Blues' coming then their deaths would never have happened," Mitchell said.

"But what if the Blues Brothers decide to do this again," Cheryl asked?

"What? Earn $1000 dollars to save an orphanage? No I don't think so. I mean these boys grew up in an orphanage and when it was going to be shut down they wanted to save the only home they ever had. And it just so happens that along the way they were chased by Illinois Nazis, a, as Jake puts it, crazy ex-fiancee, a group of singers who have no actual reason to be chasing them , and the owner of the beer joint. I don't think anything of these proportions will happen again. I'm sure once they are paroled they will find new work or go back to being musicians."

Cheryl just looked at him, "You mean you trust these men? Why? What reason do you have to trust them? One of them robbed a gas station. Then now they destroyed a mall, caused many police car pile-ups, and ran from the law."

"To save an orphanage, Chery. To save an orphanage," Chandler started.

"Even so, their intentions may have been good and their hearts in the right place but they are still criminals," she replied.

Kylie and Mitchell looked at each other and gave the other one a disbelieving look as to say , 'How could she be this hard-headed?'.

Then Kylie spoke.

"Cheryl, you are acting like a child about this. What makes these two any different then the other men or women we've paroled? They're all the same in the sense that they committed a crime. What resaon do you have for not wanting these men to be paroled?"

Cheryl, not hesitating in her response, replied with a sentence that shocked the whole room.

"Jake Blues is my half-brother."

A/N: Now who saw that coming?
