PROLOGUE

The woman came out the bus in front of the Hazzard Bus Station. Her blue eyes stared at the small country square, so different and so distant from LA.

"Here your bag, Madam." The driver took a large bag from the bus' wide trunk and handed it out to the woman, in his eyes a mix of admiration and lust.

"Thanks." She took her bag and smiled at the blushing young man, "Do you know Hazzard? I am new, here, and I need help." Again, her blue eyes inspected the square and the buildings.

Happy to be helpful, the man took his hat off and nodded, "Of course, Madam. I know Hazzard like my pockets. Just ask, and I'll be glad to help you." His curious eyes slid over the woman's body: long brown air, blue eyes, blue scarf around her neck (bringing out her eyes), long brown raincoat and blue heels. City elegance.

She had a brief shiver, "This is so different from LA. Colder."

He was right: city's woman. He pointed at the mountains, "It's because of the wind from the mountains. It can be really cold, and pesky. This morning it was raining. May I ask you why you're here, Madam? LA is really distant, and Hazzard isn't so famous to attract people from a city like LA."

The woman smiled shyly, "Oh sorry. I haven't introduced my name, yet. My name is Amy, and I am a good friend of Enos Strate. He's the deputy. Do you know him?"

The man opened his eyes wide, "I know he is the deputy. And yeah, of course I know him. Everybody knows him; everybody knows each other, here. It isn't LA." He glanced at the deputy patrol car parked in front of the Police Department, "Come with me, Madam. Enos is at the Police Department, right now. You are lucky."

"Hey, look at that woman. A stranger," Bo parked the General Lee and glanced at Luke, smiling, "cute stranger. We should offer our help, if she needs any kind of help."

Daisy came out the General, her long legs in tight blue jeans climbing over the window and her brown boots splashing into a puddle. She looked down at her boots now covered in mud and had a big sigh, "It seems I am going to spend the evening cleaning my boots."

Luke walked by her side, "We should ask Boss to repair all these holes in the square. Yesterday Mrs. March fell down and nearly broke her ankle."

Bo shook his head, "I don't think Boss is goin' to spend his money for it. If we ask him 'bout these holes, he'd find a way to blame us for the holes and to ask the money for it to us."

Luke shrugged, "You're right, stupid request."

Daisy slipped her hand in her jeans' pocket and took a small piece of paper out of it, "We need money for doing our shopping, now." She handed the paper to Bo, "Here's the list. While you enter the grocery, I am goin' to give Enos the rhubarb cake." She slipped into the window's car with her head and chest and grabbed a bag from the back seat, "Enos' patrol car is parked in front of the Police Department, and I have to give this cake to him before he starts patrolling, otherwise, if I leave the cake there when he is away, Boss is goin' to eat it all, as usual. I am tired to cook cakes for Boss."

Bo laughed, "You can't give Boss anything eatable, asking him to give it to Enos, and hope he isn't goin' to eat it." He pointed at the uniformed man coming out the Police Department, "Hurry up, Daisy. Enos is leaving. If you want him to eat your cake, you should give him that cake right now."

The bag in her hands, Daisy walked to the Police Department, but her boots glued to the asphalt when she realized what was going on: the arms of the stranger were wrapped around Enos' neck, and Enos' arms were wrapped around the brunette's waist, in a tight and intense hug. Enos has never hugged that way anybody else but her! Daisy's mouth opened wide in surprise.

"It looks like ol' Enos knows that cute stranger," Bo rested his hands on his hips and smiled.

"More than knowing. They look really close," Luke folded his arms, smiling and glancing at Bo.

Daisy forced herself to smile, swallowing the sour liquid in her mouth and glancing at her cousins, "Now you have a chance to meet that cute stranger and to be introduced to her." Bo and Luke by her side, she forgot of the shopping and crossed the square.
