Chapter 3: Boozin Blues

-

Inside the abandoned building there was no furniture whatsoever. The walls were stripped of their old wallpaper and the floor was wooden with many creaking boards in need of replacement. What in the Hell was this place? Elwood had never seen it before but Jake seemed to know it well as he walked in silence amongst the creepy boards. The atmosphere was eerie and filled with danger as it caused Elwood to be on his guard. Jake, however, wasn't on his guard and held his casual air about him and led his younger brother into the shadows of unexpected events. Jake knew what was to come, he did it once every month or whenever he could. He had friends here that Elwood didn't know about and wanted Elwood to meet.

There was no furniture except for what appeared to be a broken bar counter with a man who looked like he came from the streets. He had greased, slick back hair of black with ivory skin that was hidden beneath clumps of dirt. Elwood eyed the tattoo on his arm that was in the form of a king cobra devouring a human heart as he swallowed hard in fear at that. Jake knew this man as he casually walked to the damaged counter and waited for the man's amber eyes to notice him. Once they did, a devilish grin spread across his face as he put down the current issue of Hustler he was reading. Jake smirked, he just finished that issue as Elwood had a gut feeling that tonight was going to be bad for him. Then again, Jake wouldn't lead Elwood down the wrong path, he knew this.

"What can I do you for, Blues?"

"Is it open," Jake spoke as he bit back a grin, eager to see if his friends were out tonight. The 'it' was still a mystery to Elwood was he watched the man with the slicked back hair smirk and look down for a moment. The man gestured for Jake to come around the counter as he lifted a secret trap door that led to an underground club. From the looks of it, the lights were out as neon lights of different shades danced throughout the secret room just like the dancers on the dance floor was alive with different color lights and girls in short skirts with men in jeans. The music was loud and difficult to comprehend lyric wise as numerous conversations could be heard from the room. The scent of alcohol, perfumes, and smoke snaked up from the room and leaked out to where Jake stood. What a rush, not the greatest of scents but still it was a rush. It was a secret club that only special people knew and from the looks of it, Jake was one of those special people who liked to party. How he even found out about this place was a wonder in itself as Elwood watched the two talk before the man even noticed him.

"Who's the stiff," the man asked Jake referring to Elwood who had paled a bit out of fear from all of this.

"Elwood. He's got his driving test tomorrow and needs to loosen up a bit."

The man nodded in understanding and allowed Elwood to join his brother as they entered the club by descending a steel spiral staircase. When some people saw Jake they screamed in jubilation and immediately rushed to him, greeting him with words and hand gestures only he seemed to know. Elwood instantly felt alone, what had Jake been doing all this time? What was in this club that Elwood didn't know about? Soon after Jake introduced his friends to Elwood as he returned their greetings with a mere nod of his head and a wave. Jake explained to them that Elwood had never been here as one of Jake's friend's took Elwood's hand and dragged him out onto the floor. Upon going out onto the floor Jake met some of his "friends" most of which Elwood knew to keep a somewhat good distance from. However he knew that wouldn't work because it was either stay close to his brother or be offered some drugs. Elwood stayed to his brother as he high fived different people and bid his hellos to them. How did he know all these people? Who were they? What did they do for a living? Finally he led his younger brother to a group of people who were sitting at a chestnut bar complete with drinks and a smooth talking bartender.

Jake took it easy tonight and ordered himself a root beer as he kissed an African American woman's cheek. Elwood was stunned to see him kiss someone who was years older than him but at the same time, wasn't stunned due to the fact that he had seen Jake look at these type of women. The African American woman sat on a blood red stool and chatted with a few men only to give her full attention to Jake. She was an untamed woman in her early twenties with a neon orchid streak through her onyx hair. Her hair bounced and moved with her curvy figure which was only hidden under a blue crop top that allowed her cleavage to show immensely which caused Elwood to look away fast and turn a beet red. The lower half of her curvy tan body was hidden beneath denim short shorts and a pair of knee high black stilettos. She laughed at his reaction to her cleavage and made him look her in the eyes so his shaded ones met her fiery emerald ones.

"You've never been with a woman before?"

Elwood shook his head fast and swallowed hard as she snickered some. She was evil but gentle in her womanly ways as she got him a bottle of Heineken and a pink squirrel for herself. Elwood opened the drink and sniffed its' contents. It was strange to him as he blinked and looked to the girl who handed him it.

"You need to loosen up, sugar," she chugged her drink as she watched Elwood. He sipped the Heineken only to spit it out and cringe. It was strong, even for him. His reaction caused the girl and others to laugh as Jake somewhat snickered at his brother. He didn't want to make fun of him but it was kind of funny to see Elwood sputter and cringe somewhat at the alcohol.

"My name's Tamantha," the woman spoke as she chugged down the Heineken. Grinning like a fool at the taste of beer in her mouth she crossed her legs and laid back against the bar. Her bracelets jingled in her actions as she observed the dance floor and immediately got a wicked idea. Standing fast she grabbed Elwood's hand and took him out onto the floor as Jake followed suit. Once out on the floor she began to grind her hips voluptuously against Elwood's frame as he turned redder and tried to push her off his lanky frame. She refused for this to happen until he finally stepped back from her and pushed back some. A bit insulted by this, Jake took Elwood's place and allowed her to dance with him, leaving Elwood to the floor.

Jake knew that Elwood was untainted like a newly blossomed flower and was either horrible or uneasy around women who wanted one thing. He wasn't like that as to where Jake was despite his teenage age. Elwood was left to roam the room until he found himself standing at the bar. To drink or not to drink, that was the question. To drown his wishes of wanting to be like his brother in beer or to shove them down deep into his soul. It was a moment before he thought beer would be solution and sat down. This time he was actually able to hold down the Heineken and ordered a few more. This time he actually succeeded and it wasn't long before he became plastered. Jake didn't notice for a good while as the music became louder with every song. For every song played, Elwood kept ordering more drinks; the music was his addiction to drive him more into the drinking. It was insane, it was a rush for both of them as Jake let Tamantha do as she pleased to him. There was time to kill as long as they were home before dawn and that Elwood got some sleep.

However the dancing and music stopped when a brawl began the bartender and Elwood. Elwood by now was plastered as Hell and the bartender refused him anymore drinks. A few punches were thrown before Elwood grabbed a bottle only in an attempt to break it which failed as seeing the bartender right hooked him. Jake by now had ran through the crowed just to get to Elwood who was lying on the ground.

"Man what the fuck did you do to him," Jake yelled as he tried to get his brother conscious.

"He was hasslin my ass for some more and I told him no. He's fucking plastered," the bartender replied bitterly as he started to clean up the bar and everyone went back to what they were doing. It was if it had never happened, even Tamantha left Jake's side to go grind with another man. Damn bitch, damn girl, Jake snarled to himself as he tried to get Elwood was still alive which was a relief but after a while Jake believed that the punch did his brother in and from it all, caused a black out. Sighing to himself, Jake helped Elwood onto his feet and draped his arm over his shoulder. It was time to go, Elwood had lost it and so had Jake with his wild dancing and insane friends. Jake carried his brother up the spiral staircase out the door and to the El Camino that patiently waited for them all this time. Jake figured he'd drive as he gently placed Elwood in the passenger seat and floored it back to the orphanage.
