A/n: I know in the original script and movie that Jake was arrested for holding up a gas station to pay for the band's room service bill but oh well. I didn't realize that until after I found the script on the internet.

After waving Bill and Dana goodbye, Dani ran up the steps to the orphanage, opened the door, and sped down to Curtis' room.

"Curtis," starting to cry she yelled, " I'm home. Jake's in jail, Elwood is somewhere else, and..."

Curtis flewaround his table and hugged the crying girl.

"Shhh, calm down. Your home now. It's all right," he said trying to calm her down.

After she had calmed down Curtis broke the hug and sat her down in a chair. Then he sat himself down.

"Ok what is this your saying about Jake in jail?"

Danielle took a deep breath, " The boys drank about 300 dollars worth of beer yesterday evening and we were short that much in paying the hotel bill."

"Uh huh. Go on," Curtis said.

"Ok. So Jake had Elwood and I get into the Bluesmobile. So we did. Jake had Elwood drive ro a gas station. It was about a ten minute drive from the hotel. Anyway, Jake pulled a small gun from under the seat–"

Curtis cut her off, "A gun?"

"Yup, but see at first Elwood and I didn't know what it was. So Jake went in and got into a heated discussion with the cashier, probably demanding the money right off. But before we knew it Jake held up the gun."

Curtis's brown eyes grew wide behind his Ray-Bans and his mouth fell open.

Dani nodded, "Yeah that's what El and I thought too. Anyway Elwood told me to take my bag and the remaining amount of money and run. He told me to come back here. So I had been running for about three minutes and I heard a gun shot."

"Jake shot the cashier?"

"No, didn't even aim for him. I think he it was a warning shot. Anyway I ran abit garther because I started to hear police sirens. Somebody nearby had called the policem but I got off the main road about three miles from the gas station. I laid down on the other side of a ditch and cried my self t sleep. Then the next morning two people, Bill and Dana, found me and brought me home."

Taking a deep breath she smiled, "Curtis? Have you ever wondered whether angels walk on earth? Well yes they do."

Shocked at what he had just heard, Curtis put his head into his hands. Raising up he took his glasses off.

"Where are Jake and Elwood right now?"

"Well Jake is in Joilet State Penn and I don't know where Elwood is."

Curtis nodded again, " Ok. Why don't you go upstaris and go sit on the steps outside. You might see some of your friends. I need some time to think."

Dani nodded as Curtis laid down on his bed. Doing as she was told she got up and ran up the stairs and outside.

Not long after she had sat down, a big black boy walked up to her.

"Does a Miss Dani Blues live here?"

"Yeah that me. Why?"

"You got a letter. Here"

The boy handed her a letter. When she saw whose handwriting it was, she could swear her heart skipped a beat.

"Um thanks. Here," she said handing the boy a five dollar bill. As soon as he was gone she tore into the letter.
