PROLOGUE: MATTERS OF THE HEART:

Matthew and Caroline Blackwell were sitting at their Kitchen table, in Louisville Kentucky, feeling sad that they heard their estranged, famous singer daughter, Anita Blackwell had died in a tragic car accident, and they had no idea that she has a daughter, or gotten married, but if it happens, The Blackwells get custody of Anita's future child by the order of her will, and it includes if her husband's family are incapable of taking care of the child, That Sad day, Caroline said, "We have to get her back", and Matthew gave her a hug, and said, "Don't worry, I am gonna call Gordon, and get the ball rolling on this", and he went into his study to make the call.

Gordon Kellerman, The Blackwell's Attorney, was doing some last minute paperwork before he leaves for his vacation to Hawaii, and he sipped some coffee as he was doing it, and then he pushed a button on his phone, and said, "Ms. Mills, I want all update files in my office ASAP", and she said on the other end, "Yes, Sir", and he went back to the work in front of him, and all of sudden he got a phone call, and he answered it.

Matthew said, "Gordon, I found out Anita is dead", and he listened for a second, and said, "Thank you, My Friend", and he said, "I need some information, she has a daughter, Pamela Katherine Duke, her father is Lucas K. Duke, and I need also information on that family she is living with in Hazzard County, Georgia", and he paused for a second, and he said, "An hour? OK, Thanks a lot, Gordon, I owe you one", and they hung up together, and he went back to his wife, and said, "Gordon is on it, and he is sending us information", and she nodded, and she made some lunch for both of them.

Gordon found the file that Matthew wanted, and he looked it over and was shocked at his discovery, and he thought to himself, "This is no way for a kid to live", and he went to Ms. Mills, and said, "Can you please send this to the Blackwells, and then we can leave for our vacation", and she nodded, and did the task, and he made a call to Matthew to fill him in on the Duke Family of Hazzard County, Georgia.

Matthew heard the phone in his study ring, and he answered it, and he said, "Gordon, What's up?", and he said exclaiming, "Oh no!", and then a pause, and a whirling sound of his Fax Machine, and then Matthew said, "Yeah, I got it", and then a pause, and Matthew said, "Yeah, Me too, Thanks a lot, Buddy", and he hung up, and took the fax to the Living Room, where Caroline is resting for awhile.

Caroline saw the expression on her husband's face, and she said, "Darling, What's wrong?", and he said, "The Dukes especially Luke and his cousin, Bo were on Parole, and they managed to stay out trouble, but there is always shootings, and kidnappings, and dangerous situation, and it happens almost everyday, and Caroline gasped, and said exclaiming, "We have to get Pamela out of there!", and Matthew agreed, and said, "Don't worry, Baby, we will, we got a copy of Anita's Will", and they planned out their next move.

The Blackwells packed their luggage, and important documents, like a copy of Anita's will, and her Birth Certificate, and they made the 12 hour trip from Kentucky, to Georgia, and nothing is gonna stop them of getting their Granddaughter, and they would fight the Dukes tooth and nail for that little girl.
