A/N: here is the next chapter; I was busy partying so that's why it took so long ;)


The band started to play the music to the song "Desire" by U2. It came from an album called Rattle and hum.

Elwood started to play his harmonica, as Jake started to sing.

"Yeah… Lover, I'm on the street, Gonna go where the bright lights, And the big city meet, With a red guitar...on fire, Desire!" He started to sing the words out with the music.

After playing Desire, when love came to town and Angel of Harlem they had finally finished!

They started clearing up when the manager walked over.

"You guys were great!" He smiled. "Same time tomorrow?"

The brothers looked at each other.

Jake loved to do gigs as much as the next guy, but he couldn't keep up singing to songs he didn't know! There was only one thing to do!

"Elwood you deal with this!"

Elwood looked at his brother. "Uh, well what my brother here means to say is, uh… w-we don't really know the songs to well."

The owner gave him a puzzled look. "But you sung those just fine, odd choice though."

" Well that's because we kind of looked them up." Jake smiled.

Jake started walking away.

"Sorry about this man!" Elwood waved as he ran to catch up with his brother.

Elwood turned to Jake. "Hey, how come we ditched that guy, he won't have anyone to play for him!"

"Do you really want your career to be singing songs you don't know?" Jake told him.

Elwood shrugged. "I guess your right… so what are we suppose to do now?"

"I have an idea!" he replied.


Later that afternoon Jake and Elwood moved everything out of the large living room downstairs.

"Jake, why are we moving everything?" Elwood wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

"We're making this place into a club!" Jake huffed.

"What?" Elwood was surprised. "That's got to be the most stupid idea I ever heard!"

"Hey! I know what I'm doing! We're going to make the best Rhythm and Blues bar ever! We can build a stage, and we already have a bar! We use some of the money from the Casino and get the place nice. We can call the band members and put up help wanted signs!" Jake explained.

Elwood gave him a look. "Your crazy!"

Jake took the keys from the caddy out of his pocket.

"Hey how did you get those?" Elwood tried to grab them.

"Ex-pick pocket remember!" Jake dangled the in front of Elwood's face.

"Give those back!" Elwood tried to grab them but Jake swung away.

"I'll give them back if you agree to help me."

"Oh come…"

"Eh!"

"Fine! I'll do it!" Elwood sighed as Jake tossed him the keys.

"Good lets get to work!" Jake walked over to the bar and started checking all the liquor.

After a week of work the place looked like a club! They had all the stairs blocked off and locked. (They had the only keys.) The bar looked good they had a nice stage and a couple of tables.

"Ok, now all we got to do is get the band together and get some employees!" Jake patted his brother on the back.

"Well I have Murphy's phone number here." Elwood took a crumpled piece of paper out of his jacket.

Jake took it and got the phone number. "I'll phone him now then..."

"Hello?" Said a voice, it sounded like Murphy.

"Hey, Murph?"

"Yes."

"Its me Jake…"

"Oh hi Jake, what's up?"

"Me and Elwood are setting up a club and we wanted to know if you guys could perform with us?"

"Well sure Jake we… wait are we going to and up in jail?"

"No way! Well…probably not."

"Ok where do you live now?"

"An hour out of Chicago, just take the 49 highway down to a sign that says Millfall, then look for… 320 Leonard rd."

"Ok Jake, but you'll have to find Mr. Fabulous by yourself, Matt and Blue Lou are back working at the soul food restaurant."

"Thanks Murph talk to you later." Jake hung up the phone and walked to the caddy.

"Come on Elwood we got to get Matt and Blue Lou." Jake slammed the caddy door.


Jake and Elwood walked into the soul food restaurant and walked over to the counter.

Aretha shuffled to the counter without lifting her eyes from the notepad in her hand. She looked up at the brothers.

"Oh no you don't!" She yelled at them. "You get out of my restaurant! Last time you were here you went and ruined everything!"

Jake and Elwood smirked at each other.

"We're truly sorry ma'am." Jake grinned. "we just really need to talk to Matt and Lou."

Aretha Glared at them. "I don't know what your up to but your not going to talk to Matt!"

At that moment Matt Walked out of the kitchen hearing his name.

"What's up?" Matt saw Jake and Elwood sitting at the counter smiling.

"Hey matt!" They said in unison.

"Hey guys! What are you doing here?" matt asked sitting next to them.

"Yeah what are you doing here?" Aretha tapped her foot impatiently.

Jake smiled. " Well we started a club and we wanted to perform so we need the band, so…"

"I KNEW IT! You're just trying to take my Matt away again!" Aretha screamed.

"Now, now hun…" Matt started.

"I don't even want to here it!" Aretha shook her head.

Lou came out of the kitchen wondering what the commotion was.

The blues brothers smiled and waved.

Aretha was frowning "you know what! … Just take them there is no use fighting you when I know your just going to get your way!"

The brothers looked at each other.

"What's going on…" Lou said looking very confused.

"You guys get to rejoin the Blues Brothers band!" Jake smile.

"Oh!" Lou smiled. "Cool."

"Now get out of here before I call the cops on you, lord knows what you've already done!" Aretha growled as she went into the kitchen.

Matt and Lou shrugged, and walked to the caddy.


After hours of endless searching they finally found Mr. Fabulous. He was working as a hotel bellboy. When he saw the blues brothers his eyes widened.

"Oh no not again!" He sighed.

"Hello Mr. Fabulous!" Jake grinned.

"Let me guess you want me to join your stupid Blues Brothers band again?" He folded his arms and leaned against the wall. "What are you going to hold against me this time?"

"What makes you say that pal?" Jake asked.

Mr. Fabulous just frowned.

"Listen man, do you really like serving this rich losers, carrying around all their stuff! When has anyone done that to you when you were in our band?" Elwood tried to convince the bellboy.

Mr. Fabulous scratched his chin. "No one, except Jake a couple of times."

"Well think of all the good times!" Jake said quickly trying to make him forget about Jake making him do things.

"Yeah we had some good times." He smiled. "but you guys got me thrown in Jail!"

"Not on purpose!" Jake whined. "We need you man! Where are we going to get a horn player as good as you!"

"Alright, alright, I'll play but I better not get put in jail!"

"Jeez that's a touchy subject recently!" Jake whispered to Elwood, who smirked at his remark.


The next day they had the band all together and drinking beer with them.

"This place is looking pretty good! All you need is some waitresses and bartenders!" Said Steve.

"Yeah we're getting to that." Jake scratched his head.

"We got signs out saying HELP WANTED people should be here soon to apply for the job!" Elwood smiled.

Just as he went to lift his beer a women walked in the front door.

"Hello?" She called.

Elwood set down his beer and went over to the door. He opened it wide for her to come in. she had long blonde hair and bright blue eyes. She wore jeans and a pink tank top.

"I'm here about the job." She told him. "My name is Talia Madison. I have worked in bars before but I was laid off when they told me there were to many people working there at the time."

Elwood looked at her she was quit beautiful, would make an awesome waitress!

"I think it safe to say that you got the job!" Elwood was desperate for employees he would hire anyone at this point.

She cheered with joy. "Oh thank you mister…"

"Blues, Elwood blues, this here is my brother Jake and this is are band Steve, Tom, Donald, Willie, Matt, Lou and Mr. Fabulous." Elwood explained to her.

"Nice to meet you guys." She gave them a little wave.

Elwood went and showed her around the place.

"why do you call him Mr. Fabulous?" Talia asked.

Elwood just smiled. "Well, to be honest Jake and I really can't remember his name."

Talia gave a little laugh. "Do we have to wear uniforms?"

"Well… maybe an apron or something." Elwood shrugged.

They went into the yard and saw a man get out of a small olds mobile.

"Hi there!" he smiled. "Just wondering if you already had a bartender hired at your place here!"

Elwood smiled. "No not yet!"

"Well I juts got out of college and need a small job till I can get I big one." He explained to Jake. "My name is Robert Richardson!"

"I see no reason why you can't be our bartender. Can you make descent drinks?" Elwood asked.

"Oh yeah I used to be a bartender in college."

Everything seemed to be going perfectly they started getting employees and they had the band together! The only problem was that Jake had to go Talk to the municipality about having this bar! (They decided Jake would go since it was his idea after all.)


A/N: ok Talia and Robert and people I have yet to make up are not really main characters they won't be in it much so you don't need to worry.
