Chapter Eighteen.
RaL pushed open the door of the costume room, seeing Gullsea buried under a pile of costumes.
The sewing machines continued stitching the pieces they were working on; the mannequins felt the drape of clothing wrap around them.
The various wigs on the wig stands sat proudly under the soft lighting in the room.
RaL rushed over to Gullsea, he began to pull away the costumes Gullsea was buried under.
Harry didn't hesitate as he gave hand.
Lila stood by the doorway of the costume room as she watched, she watched as Harry and RaL worked in unison to free Gullsea from the pile of costumes, she watched as Harry and RaL shifted Gullsea to a chair.
Harry stood back and watched as RaL looked Gullsea over.
"Harry, sing a song." Lila whispered.
"Now?" Harry shifted his gaze over to his friend.
Lila nodded.
Harry seemed confused as he half-heartedly shrugged. "Well, it's hard to be a gambler. Bettin' on the number that changes ev'ry time. Well, you think you're gonna win."
RaL stepped back as he and Lila smirked.
Harry continued the song "Think she's givin' in, a stranger's all you find. Yeah, it's hard to figure out what she's all about."
RaL and Lila watched as Gullsea began to twitch his fingers against the arm rest of the chair, they watched as Gullsea began to softly tap his feet on the floor.
"That she's a woman through and through. She's a complic..." Harry felt the music in his head as he continued to sing "ated Lady, so colour my baby moody blue."
Harry gently swayed side to side as he closed his eyes.
Lila and RaL watched, as Gullsea opened his eyes. The two of them watched as Gullsea and Harry began to sing in unison.
"Oh, moody blue. Tell me am I getting' through." Harry and Gullsea continued "I keep hangin' on."
Harry stopped singing as he kept swaying.
"Try to learn the song but I never do. Oh, moody blue." Gullsea jumped up to his feet as he looked up at Harry "Kid, you're alright."
Harry jolted his eyes open as the music in his head stopped playing, he stopped swaying.
Gullsea turned his attention to RaL before signing Elvis is back baby!
RaL rolled his eyes before signing back Without you.
Guess I wasn't trapped after all. Gullsea signed.
"Never was." Boss' voice boomed into the room.
They turned their attention to Boss as Boss stood behind Lila, she stepped aside to allow Boss to step into the costume room.
"Your just an idiot, Gullsea. We had a reputation that you tainted with the full breeds." Boss ignored the facial expression of Lila as Boss kept their focus on Gullsea and RaL "RaL, you allowed this fool to do just that. You should both be grateful that I don't terminate you both." Boss paused for the dramatic effect.
Harry's eyes widened as Gullsea shifted into his Elvis Presley form, instead of the famous white rhinestone jumpsuit, Gullsea was now in a Black Conquistador jumpsuit.
Gullsea's hair slicked back in its famous Elvis hair style with thick sideburns. He stretched out his arms as he admired the costume.
RaL shifted into his comfortable appearance of Colonel Tom Parker.
RaL and Gullsea jumped into each other's arms as they cheered for their favourite personas.
Elvis twisted down on his knee as he took in the thrill of the audience, the rush of being back filled his sweat covered face. He lowered his head "Oh but it's midnight, yes and I miss you." He flicked his gaze up just enough to notice Lila standing at the front of the stage with Harry by her side, he took pride in seeing her in her 1970's inspired attire with her 1970's disco curls. "I miss you."
Elvis winked at Lila.
