A/N: I know what your thinking, another chapter! Ok, just read.


Elwood walked through his new home. When you first walk in there is a kitchen, then you walk to the left and you in the living room. There was a small built in bar complete with glasses. There were stairs in the kitchen and in the bar; upstairs there were 3 bedrooms and small living room. This house was meant for more than two people!

Jake had already chosen the larger bedroom and was taking a nap on his bed. Elwood walked into his bedroom, it was smaller than Jake's but it had a closet a dresser and a queen-sized bed.

He thought about all his things that he had left in the old apartment. He decided that he should go and get all his and Jake's things. He left a note on the headboard of Jake's bed and went down the stairs and out the door.

He started the car and started driving, he got worried that the cops may have his place surrounded and might catch him. He decided he would worry about that when the time came.

It had been a couple of hours after Elwood left and Jake had found his note.

Oh that idiot! He thought. He's going to get himself caught!

Jake ran down the stairs he was way to late. Elwood was gone. Jake sat on the couch in the living room.

"Well maybe he has a plan." He said to myself feeling a little calmer.


Elwood was now 5 minutes away from his old apartment building when he saw cops outside. He turned down an alley and parked were no one could see him, he ran to the back entrance of the building. He ran into the door and to the nearest elevator. The cops were in the lobby asking questions and didn't see him get on.

Elwood got off at his floor and ran to his apartment there didn't appear to be any cops so he ran in and tried to grab all he could! His arms were full of junk! Finally he ran to the elevator and got out at the lobby.

On his way down the hallway a cop saw him and shouted. All the cops ran after him. Elwood was running out of breath with all the stuff he was carrying. Finally he reached the back door and pushed it open. He ran to the car and had trouble opening the door. Once he did he through the stuff in and jumped in the car.

He started the car up and sped off. The cops chased after and decided just to get in there cars. Elwood drove past down the ally on onto the street he kept driving thinking he had lost them. Then in the mirror he saw the cops coming after him.

He hit the gas and drove faster. He turned down another ally and another and another. Swerving this way and that. Soon the cops had lost him in the maze of buildings and Elwood sped to the highway leading back to his new house.


Jake sat on the couch watching the old black and white TV that was left there. Elwood walked into the door.

"Oh good your back." Jake said getting off the couch.

"Yeah a picked up some of our stuff from the apartment." Elwood said setting all the stuff on the old kitchen table.

Jake shook his head. "You risked your freedom just so you could get are old junk back. And the penguin always said you were the smart one."

Elwood frowned "Well at least now we have beer to drink and blues to listen to!"

"Whatever." Jake said grabbing a beer. "the only problem we have now is…. There is no where to do gigs out here."

"Well the guy collecting the money tomorrow might know if there is." Elwood shrugged. "But now I'm going to bed its almost 12:00 am"

Jake agreed and both boys went to bed.


The next day the boys woke up once again to the loud banging of someone at the door.

Elwood got out of bed and walked down the stairs. "it must be the guy collecting the money for the house."

And sure enough it was.

The man was a stereotypical farmer.

"Well howdy I'm here to collect the money for the house. You know my brother used to live here but then he moved into the city!" He told Elwood.

"Oh ok." Elwood scratched his messy hair and reached into the brief case. He quickly counted the money. "Here you go."

"Well thank you very much!" The man smiled.

Elwood quickly remembered the conversation from last night. "Hey! Are there any clubs or anything around here?"

The man gave him a sly toothy grin. "Well there are a couple in the town close to here. Its 15 minutes north from here. The towns called Millfall."

"Thanks, me and my brother were just looking for a place to perform at." Elwood tried to explain.

"Well I have to go the misses is making me a nice lunch! Have a nice day." The man waved and then drove off in an old ford truck.

Elwood looked at his watch it was noon-ish so he decided to wake up Jake and check out this town.

He went up and woke Jake. "Hey man, there is a town near here you want to go check it out?"

Jake grumbled and eventually got out of bed.

They walked downstairs and got into the car.

"What do you think this place is going to be like? You think the club is going to suck?" Elwood asked Jake.

Jake frowned. "I don't know man it probably sucks."


They drove for a while then finally saw a small sign saying Millfall. They drove down the street and stopped at a club called "The Beat."

They walked inside and looked around. It was like a normal club; there was a bar, stage, tables and a dance floor. They walked around there weren't many people there because it was to early so they walked up to the bar and asked to speak to the owner.

"I am the owner!" the bartender smiled. "how can I help you?"

Jake and Elwood looked at each other.

"Well, my name is Jake this is my brother Elwood, we were just wondering if you needed singers at your club here?" Jake told him with a grin.

The man smiled from ear to ear. "Well actually are last singers walked out on me because they weren't getting free beer!"

"What kind of music do you listen to here?" Jake said looking around.

"Oh we listen to rock like U2 you know!" He said pointing to a poster of four men. "you guys can start tonight we start the band up at 8:30."

Jake forced a smile. "That's great… see you then. In the mean time we're going to check out the town."

They got off their stools and slowly started walking.

"Uh… Jake who is U2?" Elwood whispered.

Jake shrugged. "I thought it was some army plane!"

"Maybe we should try to figure out it out seeing as YOU got us into this gig." Elwood suggested.

They left the bar and started walking down the street. They saw a small library.

"Hey don't library's have Internet? That's free?" Jake pointed at the building.

"Yeah I guess…"

"Lets go!" Jake pulled Elwood into the church.

They snuck by the librarian and over to the computers. They got onto the Internet and looked up "U2".

"It says U2 is a rock band who is apparently rocketing in the music world!" Elwood told Jake.

"Well, find some songs because you know there not going to want Blues." Jake rolled his eyes.

"Here are a couple of songs, the lyrics are pretty good I suppose." Elwood started to read.

They both new that this wasn't going to be easy. They've had to sing songs they didn't know before and they made it just fine! But this might be hard.

That night they went to the club. They came in a quarter after eight and the band was already there. There was a base player an electric guitarist and a drummer, no brass section at all!

They introduced themselves to the band and told them what songs they were thinking of singing. The band liked their choices, said they had good taste


A/N: I kind of ended it sharp but I'll get over it… someday. Anyway let me know what you think. (oh and U2 happens to be my favorite band that's the only reason it's in this story!)
