I do NOT own the rights to Dukes of Hazard.
I should have noted this right off the bat -sorry - I am just now getting re-familiarized with the Duke clan, so, forgive me if I don't quite 'get it right'
Dukes of Hazard
Facing Her Ghost
Part four
Christy groaned as she sped off. She knew Luke really didn't suspect her
- it was clear they'd have to have a heart to heart talk when, and if, she got
out of this mess. Besides Luke, the main thing on her mind was her ex-
boyfriend, Andrew.
Andrew had seemed alright. The man opened doors for women, he never
asked them to pay for dinner, but did not complain if they wanted to, and his
hands had never went anyplace uninvited. Yep, everything had seemed to be
on the ups and up - until she'd caught him red handed with another woman
making a moonshine run.
Looking in the rearview mirror she was relieved to see that particular car
had been lost; unfortunately, Roscoe hadn't. Whipping around a corner she
sent up a prayer of thanksgiving Bo had taught her how to drive, and not her
mother. A pile of leftover construction dirt, with a board propped up stood
in the middle of the road. It was an easy job -for Roscoe too.
"Crumb, got to shake that pest off my tail." Christy spoke out loud to no
one in particular.
The gal thought for sure she was going to fail until she saw the General
Lee racing up behind the cop car. Should have known better to tell you to
stay put.
How Bo got ahead of the sheriff she had no idea, but Luke signaled for
her to follow them the gal wasn't stupid enough to turn him down. Who
would choose Roscoe over the Dukes?
Once they'd managed to lose Roscoe, Luke climbed out the window and
go on back of the car she was driving. She wasn't sure she liked where her
heart was at that moment, but he managed to get rid of all the moonshine.
Once he climbed back into the General Lee he told her which road to take to
Cooter's place.
"What about Roscoe and Andrew?"
"Oh, I wouldn't worry about them." Luke had a cat like grin on his face.
He then assured her they'd fill her in on the details when she got back to the
farm. "Oh, and Christy?"
"Yes?"
"When this is over , we need to talk."
"I know." With that the two cars separated.
Balladeer: Okay, I want to know what's up with Roscoe and that ex-
boyfriend? Why aren't they tailing them anymore? And when it comes to Luke and Christy talking? All I can say is - IT'S ABOUT TIME.
Worrying about the sheriff wasn't her main concern now -getting to
Cooter's was. How she managed to get there without anymore law down her
throat was a question that would be answered later -she suspected by Luke.
"Hurry, get that car back into its original spot.." Cooter told her once she
was inside his garage. The man then hurried and filled the tank up with gas
- to make it look as if it had never left the garage.
Their timing was perfect because just as they sat down in his 'office' and
began playing poker Enos walked in with … Spike?
"Sorry, Cooter, but we have to check that car. A report just came in we
have to check out."
"Be my guest." Turning to the sheriff from the neighboring county he
asked what had brought him to Hazard.
"A visit to Boss Hogg." That was the only answer he'd give.
Boss Hogg, should have known Andrew was connected to him. Christy kept
her thoughts to herself. Spike was highly disappointed to find no sign of
moonshine, and even less thrilled when he took Cooters offer to start the
car so he could check the gas gage up - and it spot out information which
denied it had been used.
"Sir." Christy decided - once again - to go by instincts going off in her head. "I think if you check a room rented by an Andrew Bailey you'll find
what you are looking for. He might be registered under the name of Paul
Sands. It's a name he's used in the past in regards to illegal activities."
Spike said nothing - only gave her a scowl - as he walked out of the shop.
"Gee, he could have at least thanked you for the tip." Cooter's frown lifted
as he then suggested they head out to the farm.
Balladeer: Let's get out to the Duke farm. I want to know what happened to Roscoe and Andrew. And I want to hear what Luke and Christy say to each other.
