It was another normal day in Hazzard County, which means the General Lee is tearin' up the roads.

"Watch it, Bo!" Luke Duke yelled from the passenger side as the General just missed a car that turned onto the road in front them.

"Me watch it! The dang fool cut in front of me!" Bo shot back. At that moment a police car pulled out of the trees, its light's flashing and siren wailing.

"Rosco. He probably saw you almost wipe out that car." Luke said grimly. He picked up the CB and said, "Rosco, I know you saw that car cut in front of us. Why don't you ticket him instead of wasting your time trying to catch us?"

"All right you Dukes! Pull over! I've got you for speeding and for reckless driving! That car was just driving along and you nearly sideswiped him. Khee khee, I've really got you now!" Rosco replied.

"We're going 55 and maybe you should get some glasses." Luke said into the CB.

"Don't you back talk me, just pull over!"

Bo shook his head and turned down a dirt road. "Say, Luke is that bridge fixed yet?"

"The one at the river? No, their still working on the one that Rosco knocked the side off of when he chased us about a week ago."

Bo floored the petal and shot up an embankment. "YEEHAW!" they yelled as the General Lee flew over the river.

"You Duke's think you're so good, watch this." Rosco muttered also flooring his petal. He soared, but didn't make it across the river, landing halfway across with a huge splash.

The Dukes in fact did watch Rosco jump, and after watching him clamber out of his car looking like a drowned rat, drove off. "Luke, you better call up Cooter, tell him Rosco tried driving on water again."

"I thought he was doing his fish imitation." Luke said with a grin as he picked up the CB.

Half an hour later Rosco was dripping in Boss's office at the Boar's Nest. "Rosco, if you come here to tell me you lost the Duke's one more time," Boss said through a mouthful of raw liver," you will be-"

"The night rent-a-cop-"

"-the night rent-a-cop-"

"-at Shortie's All-Night Rib Shack."

"-at Shortie's All-Night Rib Shack. Fortunately, however, I have a foolproof plan to put the Duke's in the state pen for the next ten year's."

"Boss, you said that about the last plan."

"Rosco, the last plan fouled up because you blabbed the whole thing over the CB and the Duke's heard you. Now if you'd hush up, I'll tell you what we're going to do. Today, someone docked a boat at my dock on Chockatee Lake. I made him show me his registration and he did. Xavier Nathanial is his name and said he was giving that boat to the Duke's. So here's what I want you to do."

Who do you suppose this person who's givin' a boat to the Dukes is?

The General Lee pulled in front of the Duke's house. "Whose car is that?" Bo asked looking at a sleek sports car parked next to Daisy's jeep.

"No idea. Let's find out." The cousins walked inside. Inside, Jesse and Daisy were sitting in there living room talking with a well dressed, rather handsome man The cousins first thought was that he was some government official or a city slicker.

"Here they are." Jesse said. "Xavier, meet my nephews, Bo and Luke."

"Hello." Xavier said, standing.

"Howdy." Bo said, shaking his hand. "May I ask who you are?"

"I am, though rather distantly, you're cousin."

"Distant cousin? Uncle Jesse, how come we've never heard of him before?" Luke said, also shaking Xavier's hand.

"He's, like he said, very distant."

"You see, I like to live near family. I lived in Atlanta until my parents died. I researched my family and found out that my closest living relatives are the Dukes of Hazzard County. Related by Jesse's mother having a sister. I have to tell you this place is hard to find."

"It sure is nice to have some more family in the area." Daisy said looking at Xavier with something close to adoration.

"Why, thank you." The all sat down.

"So what do you plan to do, Xavier?" Bo asked. "I'm sure Jesse would invite you to stay at our house."

"Oh, no, I plan to buy a house in town. You see, I'm a very good mechanic, and I sold my garage in Atlanta so I could build or buy one here in Hazzard. In fact, I saw a nice one I just might buy."

"Don't do that!" Daisy said. "Cooter is our friend, all though I don't think he'd sell that garage for anything."

"Not only that, but with the suit and tie, you don't look like an ordinary mechanic." Jesse said, with a laugh

Xavier tilted his head down to conceal a smile, then said. "No I suppose I don't, but you're seeing me in the clothes I thought would leave a good first impression. It seems I should have come in jeans and an ordinary shirt. I assure you, you'll probably never see this outfit again. Since I still want to start out on the right foot I have something I'd like to give you. You see, I love fishing, my parents gave me a little motorboat when I moved out. I thought you'd like to have it."

I should've guessed. But this fellow seems nice enough. Don't go nowhere folks.
