The next day, Daisy forced a smile on her face as she pulled up to their house in Atlantic City. "We're home!" she called cheerfully."
"No we're not, Hazzard's home." Jenna mumbled.
"I know you don't want to come home, but I want you to finish Kindergarten here." She explained.
"I could finish it just as well in Hazzard." Jenna said. Daisy could tell the girl was going to be a lawyer someday.
"You're finishing it here." Daisy said in a firm voice.
"I know." Jenna said, she unbuckled herself and got out of the jeep. "But if you're waiting for me to be happy about it that's not going to happen." She said icily.
"I didn't ask you to be happy about, just do it." Daisy said she knew that was all she was going to get out of Jenna, so she didn't press the issue.
Hours later, after they had both gone to bed Jenna quietly got up and crept outside her room, she knew she wasn't supposed to leave home like this, but she wanted to see Uncle Jesse. She missed him.
She quietly opened the front door and slipped out into the night.
Howard Morgan couldn't seem to sleep; maybe he was just nervous, he wasn't sure. But then again it'd been nearly 5 years since he'd seen Daisy or Jenna and here he was in town again. He'd gone over to the house earlier but apparently, they'd been out of town, a neighbor had said that both Daisy and Jenna would be back in the next few days or so.
So, he'd gotten a room at the nearest Motel and was now having trouble sleeping. He decided to go get something to eat; he got in his car and drove to the nearest McDonald's. He was pulling up to the drive through window when the sight of a little girl stopped him, she was about 5 years old and had dark brown hair, Just like Daisy's hair He couldn't help but think.
Instead, he pulled into a parking slot as he saw her walk into the McDonalds. He followed her in. The little girl was wearing a pair of Jeans and what looked like a pajama top.
"Can I help you?" The cashier said as he looked at the little girl's outfit.
"Can I use restroom? I gotta go potty." The little girl said.
"Sure, it's around the corner." The cashier said. The little girl left and he looked at Howard "You get all kinds of people in here." He said "What do you want?" the cashier then asked.
"A chicken Mc Nugget Happy Meal and a Mc.Flurry." Howard said.
A few minutes after Howard sat down, the little girl came out, now that Howard could see her face better, he could tell that she was related to Daisy. She looked exactly like Daisy had at 5 years old, except that Jenna's eyes weren't Daisy's blue-green color, they were his dark blue.
"Jenna?" the little girl stopped in her tracks as she heard a strange man call her name. "How do you know my name?" she asked quietly.
"I know your mommy." Howard said. "Do you want to help me finish off this happy meal? I'm getting full."
"Mommy's said I shouldn't take food from strangers." Jenna said, but she walked up to the booth Howard was in anyway.
"I'm not a stranger." Howard said. "My name's Howard Morgan."
"Morgan's my last name too." Jenna said "I'm Jenna Morgan. Since we aren't strangers any more, I can eat the happy meal." she said. Howard pushed the remaining portion over to Jenna "Thank you." she said, before picking up one of the McNuggets.
"Where are you going so late at night?" Howard asked.
"I'm going to Hazzard." Jenna said. "Mommy and I were that earlier today, but Uncle Jesse's sick so I'm going to go visit him again."
"I could drive you." Howard offered.
"I'm not supposed to take rides from people I don't know very well." Jenna said.
"It's okay." Howard said. "You're Mommy and I are very good friends." he told her.
"Like Mommy and Mr. Enos?" Jenna asked.
"Yeah, like Mommy and Mr. Enos." Howard said.
"Mr. Enos and Mommy love each other." Jenna said, as if sharing a big secret. "I wish Mr. Enos was my daddy." she said.
"Don't you have a daddy?" Howard couldn't believe that Daisy hadn't mentioned him.
"No." Jenna said. "Mommy's never said anything about me having a daddy." she said.
"I could be you're daddy." Howard offered. Jenna shook her head though.
"No, I'd rather have Mr. Enos."
"Does Mr. Enos know that you want him to be your daddy?" Howard asked.
"No" Jenna said "I didn't have the chance to tell him before we left."
"Why don't you come spend the night with me in my hotel room and I'll drive you up there in the morning." Howard said.
"I'm not supposed to go with..." Jenna started but Howard grabbed her by the arms and took her outside.
"I don't give a crap about what you are or aren't supposed to do." he hissed as he set her down. "I'm your father and you are going to do exactly as I tell you, got it?"
Jenna was so surprised that all she could do was nod as tears fell from her eyes.
"Now get in my car." Howard ordered. Jenna cast a scared glance back at the McDonalds and got up and walked to Howard's car. He opened the door and Jenna climbed inside.
