"Uncle Roscoe. Uncle J.D. It has been so long."
"Look at how much you've grown. Last time I saw you, you were only up to my knee." Boss said pulling Emmy into another tight embrace.
"How have you been Emmy?" Roscoe asked taking a look at his grown up niece.
"Good. How has it been here in Hazzard?"
Suddenly, Boss and Roscoe noticed Bo and Luke standing in the doorway. "What are you Dukes doing here?" Boss asked.
"Don't you see this is a private moment." Roscoe added. But neither answered. Emmy did.
"Oh. I'm sorry. My car broke down and these two nice boys helped me. I probably would still be walking if they hadn't happened by."
"Well you helped her. Now out you go." Roscoe said ushering them through the door.
"Wait Uncle roscoe since they helped me, they wanted me to eat at their place tomorrow. May I go?"
"Certainly no." Boss said.
"Please?" Emmy's emerald eyes enlarged and her mouth began to pout. Both Roscoe and Boss melted.
"Well alright But only for an hour. And she must be home before seven." Boss said.
"Oh thank you."
"We'll pick you up tomorrow at 5:30. If that's okay?" Bo said.
Boss and Roscoe were about to refuse but the look in Emmy's eyes changed their mind.
"Don't be late." Roscoe finally said. Bo and Luke waved goodbye to Emmy as Boss pushed them out the door.
"Now where were we." Boss said setting out a chair for Emmy.
The three sat around talking about what they had been up to since they had last seen each other. Emmy told them everything except about he ex-boyfriend. She did not want to worry them with something so useless. He didn't know where she was going and she could take care of herself. There was no need to worry her uncles.
Roscoe led the way back to his house in his sheriff's car. Emmy pulled up to a small white house that was separated from the other neighborhood. Roscoe had prepared his guest room for Emmy. It was small but it was enough. A brown dresser stood against the pale blue wall. The twin size bed with dark blue bedding was adjacent. Above the bed was a small window which viewed the driveway and the neighbors front doors. After unpacking the few belongings she brought, Emmy decided she needed some sleep. She said goodnight to Roscoe and patted Flash on the head then went to bed.
When Emmy awoke, Roscoe was already gone. He left her a note saying to get comfortable and feel at home. And he also left Flash for her to take care of. Emmy as so grateful for her uncle allowing her to live there. So she decided to tidy the place up a bit for him. It appeared Roscoe hadn't clean his house in several months. Mounds of dust had accumulated on the shelves. And dust bunnies were the size of bears under the couch. After dusting, washing, and vacuuming for four hours the house was finally clean. Since she finished earlier than she thought, she decided to go to the courthouse and visit her uncles.
Emmy walked through the large double doors to find a young man about her age sitting on a chair in front of a desk. He was looking over piles of papers. When he saw Emmy come in he dropped everything.
"Hello miss. How can I help you?"
"I'm looking for my uncles."
"Oh you must be Miss Emmy. I am deputy Enos."
"Nice to meet you."
"The pleasure is all mine." Emmy and Enos chatted for a bit while Boss Hogg and Roscoe were talking about their latest scam.
"If we bring in those new road blocks and post them at the corner of Miller Road and Sunshine Avenue, we'll be able to stop them Dukes."
"But Boss why would I stop them?"
"You dunderhead, I'm getting to that. While Emmy is at the farm eating dinner, you will plant these cases of moonshine in their trunk. When they are bringing Emmy home you'll stop them saying that you got a tip that they were transporting moonshine."
"Little fat buddy you're a genius."
"The Dukes will go to jail and Emmy will see that them boys are no good."
"Oh goodie." Both were ecstatic. The Duke boys would finally be put away and they wouldn't have to worry about Emmy hanging out with them. After their little conversation, Roscoe and Boss went out to find Enos and Emmy talking about the roads in Hazzard.
"Emmy what are you doing here?" Roscoe asked.
"I was getting bored and wanted to see where you worked. Why is something wrong?"
"No dear we are just surprised to see you."
"So what have you and Enos here been talking about?" Boss asked.
"Nothing important. I wanted to know about the roads here so that I can get around town easily."
"If its okay with your uncles, I could show you around this afternoon Miss Emmy." A wide grin appeared on Boss's face.
"That's a great idea." But before Boss could say anymore Emmy spoke up.
"Sorry Enos. I have prior arrangements but another time. I would love to see the town with you." Enos blushed. Boss and Roscoe were less than pleased. Emmy was still going to be with the Duke boys. Roscoe then took Emmy around the courthouse. At four Emmy decided to head home and get dressed for her dinner. Boss and roscoe tried to stall her and persuade her to take the trip with Enos. But Emmy politely refused. She was finally able to sneak out when the phone rang. Emmy arrived home and put on a nice sun dress since the weather was perfect. Normally, Emmy hated to wear dresses but this was a nice occasion and she wanted to look nice. When she finished changing, she sat down to read some of her book. At 5:15 Emmy heard a knock at the door. To her delight the boys arrived early.
"Good evening Miss Emmy." Bo said. "Are you ready to go?"
"Sure are." The boys helped her into the General Lee and then they were off.
"I just can't believe you are related to Boss Hogg and Roscoe." Bo finally said.
"Why not?"
"Well you don't look like them and if you don't mind me saying you are far prettier than them." Emmy smiled and Luke just rolled his eyes.
"My uncles are great. They have always been there for me. A couple years ago, my mom and I had some troubles. Uncle J.D. sent us money to help. And Uncle roscoe has always opened his home to us." Bo and Luke were shocked. Boss and roscoe doing something nice without a profit.
Before the three arrived to the Duke farm, they noticed a broke down car on the side of the road.
"Hey isn't that My. Johnson." Luke said.
"Sure is. Let's see what the problem is." Bo said while he pulled off to the side of the road. "Hello Mr. Johnson, car problems?"
"Bo, Luke am I sure glad to see you. You're the first car to pass by here. My car battery died."
"Well we can fix that. Oh this is Emmy Farmer by the way. She is new to the area." Luke said introducing her.
"Nice to meet you." Emmy said shaking his hand.
"Same here. Thank you all so much. I really appreciate this."
"It's no problem." Bo said.
"Emmy would you mind getting the jumper cables in the trunk?" Luke asked.
"Sure." Luke threw the keys to her while they opened up the hoods of the cars. Emmy opened the trunk to find a jack, a spare tire, a tire iron, and the jumper cables. She grabbed the cables and headed back to the boys. They connected the cables and started the cars. After a few minutes, Mr. Johnson's car started right up.
"Thank you so much." The boys and Emmy said their goodbyes and headed to the farm.
When Luke pulled up to the small white house and large barn, Emmy saw two people standing at the front screen door. One, an elderly man wearing overalls. The other, a girl not much older than herself. Bo, Luke, and Emmy crawled out of the windows.
"Uncle Jesse, Daisy, I'd like you to meet Emmy." Bo said.
"So this is the Emmy that we've heard so much about." Uncle Jesse said hugging Emmy.
"Nice to meet you Emmy." Daisy said giving Emmy another hug.
"Wow I remember you when you were just a little girl." Uncle Jesse said.
"Wait how do you remember me?"
"Your Uncle Roscoe brought you here one day. But it was quite a long time ago."
Everyone stood outside talking for a few minutes.
"Well I'm starving let's dig into this wonderful dinner Uncle Jesse and Daisy made." Luke said
The kitchen was rather small but everyone fit comfortably enough. Daisy had made baked chicken, mash potatoes, and a whole bunch of fixens. For desert, everyone was treated to Uncle Jesse's pecan pie. The Duke family opened up to Emmy. She felt comfortable and safe in their company. Emmy could not understand why her uncles did not want her to be with them.
Balladeer: "Speaking of her uncles, where are they."
Roscoe was sitting in his patrol car behind the Duke's barn. When he saw everyone go into the house, he crept out of his car and made his way to the General Lee. It wasn't hard to get the trunk open. Luke had left the keys in the ignition. Once the trunk was open, Roscoe brought over the containers of moonshine, carefully, and quietly placing them in the trunk. Now came the hard part, how to close the trunk with no one hearing. Luckily, Roscoe's moment came when loud laughter came from inside the house. Roscoe closed the trunk then took off running to his car.
"Oh boy. Goodie. Goodie." Roscoe picked up his CB. "Little Fat Buddy you got your ears on."
Boss was in his office at the Boar's Nest waiting for this call. "Yea is it done."
"Yup. All four containers, safely in the Duke's trunk."
"Good now get back here before someone spots you."
"Right boss." Roscoe left and returned to the Boar's Nest.
The Duke's had no idea what was in the trunk of the General Lee.
Balladeer: "When those boys go to take Emmy home, they're going to be in a whole mess of trouble. How do you suppose they're going to get out of it."
