Chapter 15
The parking lot of the Witches Brew Bar was packed tonight.
Sadie drove her Vespa into the parking lot and parked by the front door.
They jumped off the scooter and ran to the front door of the bar.
Sadie and Jake rushed inside the Witches Brew Bar and saw it was crowded. The vast majority of the patrons was from out of town and slipped away to this bar to be discreet.
Jake and Sadie stood by the front door and scanned the bar over for Bobby.
Then they heard the Karaoke machine that played Abba’s Dancing Queen song.
They looked up at the far end of the bar and saw Bobby and Stefon up on stage. Bobby wore tight black leather pants with a white silk shirt halfway buttoned up.
“This is hard to accept,” Jake replied in disbelief.
“You’ll have to accept it if this potion doesn’t work,” Sadie replied.
“You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life,” Bobby and Stefon sang out in unison and danced.
The guys and girls in the bar danced along with Bobby and Stefon.
“I never knew he could dance,” Jake said in disbelief while they watched Bobby and Stefon sing the end of the song.
Bobby and Stefon placed their microphones on the floor of the stage. Bobby pulled up his shirt and rubbed his flat tummy with a hand. “I got six-pack abs,” he called out then used his other hand to simulate stroking a cock. “With an eight inch pull tab,” he finished off to the audience
The guys the crowd cheered, clapped, whistled and blew Bobby kisses.
Bobby and Stefon both gave their fans a curtsey then walked off the stage.
As soon as they got off the stage, Stefon gave Rocky a hug for a great performance.
Sadie and Jake pushed their way through the cheering crowd and rushed up to Bobby and Stefon while they hugged.
“Ah, Bobby, we have the potion,” Jake told him while he held up the water bottle.
“Potion? What potion?” Bobby asked a little baffled, as he didn’t remember their conservation.
“The potion to reverse the Witches Brew. We talked about it the other day,” Jake replied.
“Gee. I don't know if I should drink it,” Bobby said then his body started to twitch a bit. “Drink it!” the straight Rocky’s voice yelled out. Bobby’s body twitched again. “I don't want to,” Bobby’s sweet voice said in a whiny tone. Bobby’s body twitched again a little harder.
The crowd got quiet while they gathered around to watch Bobby.
“Drink it!” Rocky’s straight voice yelled again.
The bartender stopped wiping down the bar when Bobby’s yelling caught his attention. He looked over at the Bobby like he was a loony toon.
He rushed away from behind the bar and over to Bobby.
“Will you please take this outside?” the bartender yelled.
Jake and Sadie each grabbed one of Bobby’s arms and rushed him out to the front door.
Stefon and all the guys followed them out of the bar.
Jake and Sadie walked Bobby to the middle of the parking lot.
“Come on Bobby, drink it,” Jake said while he opened up the bottle and handed it to Bobby.
Rocky shook his head like a little boy being asked to drink some horrible tasting medicine. “No!” he replied in a boyish wimpy tone and crosses his arms and stomped his feet in protest. His body twitched again. “Give it to me,” the straight Rocky said while he reached out for the bottle.
Jake quickly placed the bottle in Bobby’s hand.
Bobby’s body twitched again while he brought the bottle to his mouth. His free hand grabbed the other hand with the bottle and both hands fought against each other. “I don’t want it,” Bobby’s voice cried out. “Drink it!” Rocky’s voice cried out. He brought the open spout of the bottle to his lips. His other hand pulled the away from his mouth. They fought each other while he tried to bring it up to his mouth. Bobby finally won and the liquid poured from the bottle into his mouth. He drank it all then threw the bottle on the asphalt. “This stuff tastes awful!” he added while his face cringed.
“What the hell is this all about?” one guy asked his partner that stood arm in arm next to him.
“I don’t have a clue,” his partner said.
“It’s a potion to make him straight,” Sadie told the guy.
“Well, honey, don’t give me any of that potion,” the guy replied then stepped away.
His partner and all the guys in the crowd nodded in agreement.
Everybody stood there in anticipation for the results.
Sadie pulled out the printed copy of the recipe from her pants pocket.
“This will take about ten minutes to perform it's magic,” Sadie said while she looked at the recipe.
“Come on Bobby. We need to get to the game,” Jake told him.
Bobby looked a little dazed while the potion started to take effect.
Sadie looked at her scooter. We need some wheels. My Vespa can't carry everybody,” she told him.
“We drove over here in my car,” Stefon said while he pointed over to his Prius.
“Okay, we’ll meet you at the stadium. Park in the south lot and we’ll meet at the door to the locker room,” Jake told Stefon.
“Okay,” Stefon replied then grabbed Bobby’s hand and rushed him over to his car and they got inside.
Sadie and Jake rushed over to her Vespa and jumped on the seat.
While Stefon drove off, Bobby’s body twitched in the passenger seat.
Sadie and Jake rode off on her Vespa.
Twenty minutes later, Stefon pulled his Prius into the south parking lot of the Bellwood College’s football stadium.
He found an opened spot and parked.
Stefon got Bobby, who was still in a bit of a daze, out of the car and they rushed to the stadium where they heard the crowd booing at the Panthers.
They arrived at the door that led to the locker room and waited where Bobby’s body continued to twitch.
A few minutes later, Sadie and Jake appeared.
“How do you feel, Bobby?” Jake asked.
Bobby looked at him in a bit of a daze.
“Weird,” Bobby replied in his normal voice.
“Ready to play some football?” Jake asked.
Bobby stared at Jake for a few seconds in a daze. “You better believe it,” he replied in his Rocky voice then he high-fived Jake.
Stefon looked disappointed when he realized that the old Rocky returned.
“I’m going to search for Red and Mindy,” Sadie said.
“Where are they?” Rocky asked.
“We don’t know. They went missing while trying to get some answers about that so called Steelers scout,” Jake answered.
Rocky looked at Sadie. “Please find them for me,” he said in a kind voice.
“I will,” Sadie said then rushed off.
Stefon, Rocky and Jake went inside the locker room.
The locker room was empty.
Then a few seconds later, they heard the sound of cleats walking down the hallway that led from the field.
The Panthers walked into the locker room with their helmets in their hands and their head hung down depressed.
Then one of the Panthers saw Rocky with Jake. “Now he shows up,” the player said.
The other players looked at Rocky and could care less since they’re all pissed at him.
“What's wrong guys?” Rocky asked.
“We're losing 21 to zip,” one player replied while he sat down by his locker.
“Where's Red?” another player asked while he sat down by his locker.
“We don’t know,” Jake replied.
“How could you guys abandon us for the big game,” another player asked.
The whole team glared at Rocky and Jake for some answers.
Coach Kennedy entered into the locker room and he looked furious. They he saw Rocky and Jake, and he wanted to scream at them but his voice was horse from yelling at all the players for screwing up. He just shook his head in displeasure and walked into his office.
Coach Kennedy sat down at his desk and he looked like he wanted to cry.
There was knock on his door and Rocky entered.
“Coach,” Rocky said while he stepped inside the office.
Coach Kennedy looked up. “What the fuck do you want?” he replied in a horse tone.
“I’m so sorry about not showing up for the game,” Rocky replied.
“Why were you acting like a fucking faggot?” Coach Kennedy forced the words out of his mouth as it hurt to talk.
“It’s a long story with some witches potion and I don’t want to waste your time. So if you would, I want to play,” Rocky said with pleading eyes.
Coach Kennedy thought for a minute and motioned it was okay.
Rocky looked happy then he glanced out the Coach’s office windows and saw Stefon with Jake. His eyes lit up with an idea. “But only on one condition. Stefon Jackson must play,” he added.
Coach Kennedy couldn’t believe his ears when he stared at Rocky. “No fags will play on my team,” he blurted out in his painful horse voice.
“If Stefon doesn’t play, then I don’t play. And from the looks of things, you don’t stand a chance in hell to win this game. If I get in there with Stefon, we’ll win. So you better get that through your thick fucking jar head,” Rocky snapped back at the Coach.
Coach Kennedy couldn’t believe his years when Rocky talked like that to him. His first instinct was to jump up and beat the crap out of Rocky, but he knew that would just get him fired for sure. He then thought about Rocky’s proposal and figured he didn’t have a choice. “Okay,” he said.
Rocky quickly opened the door and rushed out of the office.
Rocky rushed into the locker room and up to Stefon. “You wanna play?”
Stefon looked at Rocky in disbelief. “Is this some type of joke?” he asked thinking the old Rocky returned.
“It’s the least I can do since you were so kind to me,” Rocky replied with a friendly smile.
“I would love that,” Stefon replied with a hungry smile for getting back into the game.
“Good, now go get one of the extra uniforms,” Rocky replied and patted Stefon on his shoulder.
All the Panthers looked at disbelief at Rocky’s offer, as all they remembered was how he harassed him for years.
“Get dressed,” Rocky told Jake while he rushed over to his locker.
Jake rushed over to his locker with a smile, as he liked the new Rocky so far.
Cecil’s Caddy slowly drove into the parking lot.
He parked his car in the first available parking spot.
Cecil and Ernie got out and rushed over to one of the gates.
“What should we tell Sal?” Ernie asked while they rushed to the gate.
“Tell him that everything is under control. No worries,” Cecil replied.
“But we don’t know where Jake and Sadie are at this moment,” Ernie replied a little worried.
“The Panthers are losing and that’s all that matters,” Cecil replied while they headed to the gate.
Meanwhile, Professor Ruby, Red and Mindy sat in the Bellwood police station and waited for a detective to listen to their story.
Up in the stadium, Sal, Johnny and Mitch waited with huge grins for the Panthers and the Bears to return to the field.
Cecil and Ernie huffed and puffed while they walked up the steps to the aisle. They moved down the aisle across people’s knees and sat down by Sal, Johnny and Mitch.
“Things are looking great so far, kid,” Sal quietly said to Ernie with a smile.
Ernie felt so good that his financial problems will be over soon.
