A/N: Thanks for all of your wonderful reviews. To answer one of the questions posted, this story is based on the original Duke's. Glad ya'll like the story so far. Thanks again and please keep the reviews coming.


Balladeer: The Duke family pitches in and together they accomplish every task they set out to do. Of course there was a bit of complainin', but we won't mention no names. Everything got done an' that's all that matters. We'd better check in on 'em now an' see what their up to don'tcha think?

"C'mon Daisy! I'm sure ya look great, jus' like an angel sweetheart." Bo yells down the hall. Daisy steps out of her room holding her halo in one hand and the keys to her jeep in the other.

"I'm comin', I'm comin'. Hey, where's Luke?" She asks looking around the family room.

"He's still in the bathroom, said he didn't want me ta see him till he was ready."

"Well you sure are the cutest devil I've ever seen cousin. I wonder what Luke looks like."

"What's all the ruckus in here?" Uncle Jesse asks as he comes in from the kitchen.

"We're jus' waitin' fer Luke ta unveil hisself, Uncle Jesse. C'mon Luke! We're all on pins an' needles out here!" Bo yells down the hall again.

"Well don't set on Daisy's pin cushion then." A voice calls back to him.

"Cute Luke, real funny." Bo says grimacing. Daisy giggles at him and shakes her head. She opens her mouth to make a comment to Bo when she catches sight of something out of the corner of her eye. Turning for a better look she gives a small shriek and jumps behind Bo for protection. She can feel Bo's shoulders shaking with laughter and decides to brave looking around him to what was in the doorway.

"Pretty good I'm guessin'?" Luke's voice comes from under the hood that covers his face.

"I'd say so." Bo says around his laughter.

"Luke! Ya scared the dickens outta me!" Daisy protests with some embarrassment.

"That's the whole point Daisy." Uncle Jesse interjects quietly.

"Yeah, well he coulda warned me some."

"Naw, it wouldn'ta been the same. C'mon, let's get movin' ya'll, I know Bo wants ta get a good seat so he won't miss nuthin'." Luke is still smiling as he heads out the door. This costume had some definite mischief possibilities.

Balladeer: Okay, let's take stock now. We got a farmer leadin' in a pickup, an angel behind him in her white jeep, an' bringin' up the rear is the General Lee with the devil drivin' an' the grim reaper ridin' shotgun. I think that 'bout covers it. Huh, kinda looks like the angel's watchin' over the farmer tryin' ta keep the devil an' death away from him, don't it?

As the group turns on to Cotton Hollow Road Luke glances out this window and sees a light shining from the old farmhouse on the hill. He does a quick double take to make sure he was seein' what he thought he was seein'.

"Hang on Bo! Look up there. There's a light shining from the ol' Gobbleston place." Bo glances around and sees the light for himself.

"Yer right. That place has been deserted as long as I can remember."

"Yep," Luke agrees, "maybe we'd better check it out." Bo nods and swings the charger around, heading back to the driveway while Luke cb's Uncle Jesse and Daisy to let them know what is going on.

"Ya want me ta go with ya boys?" Uncle Jesse's voice comes through the cb.

"Naw, we can handle it. You an' Daisy head on over ta the Boars Nest an' save us some chairs. We'll be along shortly." Luke replies.

"Awright, but you boys be careful. There's been some mighty strange things that've happened in that house. It's been empty since I was knee high to a grass hopper."

"10-4 Uncle Jesse. We'll be careful. See ya on the flipside. We're down an' gone." Luke replies and replaces the cb mike.

"I wonder what he meant by strange things?" Bo asks as he turns up the rutted driveway.

"Who knows? It's probably jus' someone lookin' fer shelter on a chilly night." Neither of them notices the fog that starts rolling in after them as they go up the driveway. It rolls in waves behind them, so thick that you can't see anything through it.

Balladeer: Boy that's creepy. That fog almost looks like it's chasin' those boys toward the house an' blockin' them in.
