Note: The lyrics to 'He's In the Jailhouse Now' and 'Jailhouse Rock' are not mine.
Frank sighed quietly to himself in relief he, Danny, and Gloria were finally out of the jailhouse.
Sheriff Cline really did hear Frank's sigh in relief. A jail song popped up in Frank's thoughts while he, Danny and Gloria waited for Patsy. Johnny Cash's song came to his mind:
He's in the jailhouse now
He's in the jailhouse now
I told him once or twice
To quit playin' cards and shootin' dice
He's in the jailhouse now
Well, I had a friend named Ramblin' Bob
Who used to steal, gamble and rob
He thought he was the smartest guy in town
But I found out last Monday
That Bob got locked up Sunday
They got him in the jailhouse way down town
He's in the jailhouse now
He's in the jailhouse now
I told him once or twice
To quit playin' cards and shootin' dice
He's in the jailhouse now
Well I went out last Tuesday
Met a girl named Susie
I told her I was the swellest man around
Well she started in to spend my money
She started in to call me honey
We took every honky-tonk in town
We're in the jailhouse now
We're in the jailhouse now
They told us once or twice
To quit playin' cards and shootin' dice
We're in the jailhouse now
Were the lyrics that he could remember. Another jail song popped in his head except it was Elvis Presley's Jailhouse Rock. It went like this:
Well I went out last Tuesday
Met a girl named Susie
I told her I was the swellest man around
Well she started in to spend my money
She started in to call me honey
We took every honky-tonk in town
We're in the jailhouse now
We're in the jailhouse now
They told us once or twice
To quit playin' cards and shootin' dice
We're in the jailhouse now
Were the lyrics that he could remember. Another jail song popped in his head except it was Elvis Presley's Jailhouse Rock. It went like this:
Warden threw a party in the county jail
The prison band was there and they
Began to dwell
The band was jumpin' and the joint
Began to swing
You should've heard the knocked out jail
Birds sing
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the jailhouse rock
Spider Murray played the tenor
Saxophone
Little Joe was blowin' to the slide
Trombone
The drummer boy from Illinois going
Crash boom bang
The whole rhythm section was the
Purple gang
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the jailhouse rock
Number forty – seven said to number three
You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see
I sure would be delighted with your
Company
Come on and do the jailhouse rock
With me
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the jailhouse rock
That's when Frank felt Danny tap his shoulder.
"What were you thinking, Frank?" Danny asked.
"Nothing," Frank replied.
Danny looked at Frank, thinking to him that it had to be something that was making Frank so quiet. Sheriff Cline was watching the two. That's when Patsy arrived with Gloria.
"You can go. Next time I catch you three back here in my office, you're going to be locked up again," Sheriff Cline warned then the three left with Patsy.
"I have to attend to the phone calls at the office, and if you ever get into trouble again, call Kylie," Patsy said, acting like she had meant it.
"I'll handle these two," Gloria told Patsy.
"Thanks," Patsy said and had a taxi take her to the airport.
Gloria remembered she needed to charge her cell.
"Where's the Mystery Machine, Danny?" Gloria asked.
"At the crime scene. I was going to look for the sheriff to ask him about the crime scene and there was no sign of him, so I thought I'd check the crime scene myself and see what I can find on the scene. The only luck I had was the bloodied squad car itself. Guess I didn't look hard enough," Danny told the others.
"So that's why you ended up being caught like we did?" Frank asked.
"Right. Only one of Cline's deputies caught me red handed since I stepped into the evidence. That sheriff's deputy was a woman. That I didn't except was being caught by a female sheriff's deputy. Like the old saying goes, times have changed so I guess the old saying I true," Danny went on.
"Jessica and Ryan didn't have any luck on finding witnesses," Frank reported.
"We'll find them sooner or later. Whoever was the witness or witnesses could be somebody from another country," Gloria spoke up.
"I didn't think of that one," Danny said as Frank nodded.
