Ya'll. After a looong night here in Hazzard I'm shocked that any of them is up early, but look there's Bo and Luke doin chores like every day, and Daisy collectin eggs like every day.
Daisy collected the last eggs, and after she fed the chickens she quietly went into the house and prepared breakfast. The three men trooped in to watch Daisy finish in a daze.
"Now Daisy how about we finish our talk from last night, and you tell us more about the feller that saved ya." Uncle Jesse said.
"Well Uncle Jesse…" Daisy began to tell them everything. "….And that's it Uncle Jesse." Daisy said with a wistful sigh.
"Sounds to me like yer leavin something out. Daisy honey you could tell us." Luke said.
"Well. I felt like I knew him forever, guys. Like him and me are gonna meet again. He said he is comin back for me.."
"I don't take kindly for some stranger to come here, and mess with ya like that Daisy!" Bo said as he stood up pushing his chair back quickly. "We need to find this guy Luke and we need to see what he wants with Daisy! What's he coming back for?"
"Luke, Bo, It ain't like that! It was romantic and wonderful, and well he kissed me."
"Now I don't take kindly to someone mauling my niece like that either, that man has some explaining to do if he shows his face in Hazzard again, hero or not!" Uncle Jesse growled.
"Aww fellas, you don't understand, I wanted him to kiss me!."
----------------------
"Git! Boss! I just don't understand! Why did that guy just leave this Scallion all cuffed and stuffed for us, there is a reward in California for this guy!"
"For the twentieth time you lugnut! Maybe he was a bounty hunter or something, never look a gift $25,000 in the face Roscoe!"
"Khee Khee! I love it I love it!!!! Does that mean I get fifty percent of your fifty percent of fifty percent?"
"Roscoe you ain't going to get anything if you don't get on that phone and call Cletus in to guard this criminal while we go attend to business!"
"But Boss! It's Cletus' birthday! You told him last year, you'd let him have the morning off!"
"Well your dipstick Deputy is needed here for a change for official police business."
"Boss, can we get another deputy? I miss having another dipstick around ever since Enos went back to California!"
"It ain't in the budget, and besides Roscoe, you don't need another deputy to be chasin the Dukes!"
Roscoe headed over to the phone reluctantly. He called the number on the wanted poster, glad that that horrible Scanlon was behind bars again. With all his disguises, Roscoe would have never knows this guy was him. He still had on his Lone Ranger costume, but all the makeup and mask was off. That afternoon a team of special officers would be flying in to pick up their prisoner. Roscoe then called Cletus, and had him come in to guard him.
Roscoe had to go with Boss to pick up all the mortgage payments from everyone. Boss brought out eviction papers made for each farm, just in case they did not have the payment. It was a plan he had instituted to make matters more efficient.
Yup Folks, More efficient for JD Hogg to foreclose on all those poor widows and children!

Several weeks passed and Daisy moped around the farm, almost waiting for something. Luke became suspicious, and his thoughts were confirmed one day when they went to collect the mail from their box.
Christmas cards and Holiday messages were being sent around, and the Dukes' box was never empty.
Daisy was sorting through the mail when she let out a little joyous yelp!
"What got you so darn excited cuz?" Luke asked, as Daisy handed him a stack of cards.
She then ran off to the house holding a card in her hands.
"Luke flipped through the stack he had in his hands. "Hmmm, couldn't be from Mary Jane, or Brenda Sue, or Enos, they're all in this pile, so who the heck is she all fired up about hearing from?"
Luke followed Daisy into the house. She was sitting at the kitchen table holding onto the note.
Luke gently took it from her hands and was very surprised, on the front was just a black mask. And on the inside, read:
"You are still on my mind, and in my heart, Daisy, don't forget me, I'll be back. Happy Holidays" And it was signed with a Z.
"What in tarnation is this Daisy? That feller really think he is Zorro like his costume?"
"It's him Luke, he's gonna come back!" Daisy said and sighed, once again holding the note card.
Luke went outside and gazed into the horizon, thinking to himself he muttered, "Yeah when and if he comes back, We'll be waiting."
Wonder when this feller is gonna show? Ya'll wanna bet a month of chores he ain't gonna be able to slip in and out like he did last time?
