A/N :This actually seems like a crappy ending to me but oh well. There will be a sequel and several other stories in my Dani Blues series. The sequel is actually in the works.
Danielle, it's me Elwood. I'm sorry about all of this. When we picked you up from the orphanage, we had better plans for you. We had plans of touring all of Illinois and parts of Indiana. Please forgive me and Jake and the rest of the band.
I'm gonna get me a job and somewhere to live. I won't be able to send for you for awhile. It may take a couple of years before you could live with me while we're waiting out Jake's sentence. I'll contact you often. By phone, letter, and occasional visits when time permits me.
By the way Jake has five years in Joliet. They charge Jake right on the spot, buut I got off when Jake pleaded with the officers that I had nothing to do with it.
Dani, we should have listened to you. That was ignorance on our part. We thought we would get a whole lot more money than we did. I'm sorry.
Keep an eye out for the band. If I can't keep them together, you can Dani. Your like an angel sent down from Heaven. There are days when I look at you an honestly believe Heaven is missing one of it's angels.
Will get in touch with you soon.
Love forever,
Elwood J. Blues
Filled with a new sense of hope, Danielle folded the letter and put it in her shirt pocket and ran into the orphanage up to her room. Placing the note on her small table she pulled a small box out of her bag. Opening it she looked at it's contents. A few baby photos, a picture of her parents, and a picture of Jake and Elwood.
Carefully she placed the note inside the box and shut the lid. Placing it on the table, she pulled out her harmonica. Laying on her bed with her hat pushed right on the rim of her Ray-Bans she began to play the music that freed her soul. The blues.
