Mel: Sorry the story shifts ahead so much

BEM: Writing car chases is hard for me…


Karl watch the group of cars speed off and pulled out his cell phone, quickly dialing Lex's number, "Hey, Mr. Luthor, I got the pictures you wanted."

The next day Lex flew back to Smallville his only luggage being a manila envelope filled with developed pictures, ones he personally found quite shocking. When he thought he saw Mr. Kent driving that car, he could have sworn he was seeing things, but these pictures proved he wasn't, there he was, plain as day, climbing into the driver's seat of that orange car, and it was bothering him. He arrived at the Kent farm to discover Martha was loading up a pick up truck with suitcases.

"Mrs. Kent," he called jogging over to her.

"Lex?" Martha asked curiously, "I thought you were gone for at least a week."

"I am, I just came back to deliver these," Lex said handing her the folder, "I had one of my associates take a few pictures, just to make sure."

Martha ripped the top off the envelope, not caring that it wasn't even sealed, she pulled out a huge pile of photos, each one had Jonathan in it. One had him leaning against the orange car talking to three other men, they were obviously laughing about something, and another had him climbing in through the window of the orange car into the driver's seat. But the one she was most shocked about had a young blonde woman kissing him on the cheek while he was eating as sandwich.

"Oh that can't be Daisy," Martha groaned, Clark and Chloe had not yet showed her the photo album picture of Daisy so she had no idea what Daisy actually looked like.

"Look Mrs. Kent, I just came back to give you these,"

"Thank you Lex," Martha sighed.

"Uh, may I ask where you're going?"

"We're heading off to a place called Hazzard County; we think Jonathan may end up there, we're taking a plane to Atlanta and then renting a car."

"Well, call me if there's anything I can do."

Lex turned and left while Martha just flipped through the pictures over and over, now she really needed to get to Hazzard, and fast.

A few days later the Dukes stood at the end of the Cannonball Run, staring at the sponsor (Mr. Wentworth Armstrong) in disbelief.

"How is that possible?" Maria asked in disbelief, "I've been street racing since I got my license, I've never, ever…"

"A three way tie?" Coy finished shaking his head, "wow…"

"I guess you could split the prize money," Mr. Armstrong suggested handing the briefcase of money to Bo, "that's all I can suggest, you all came raring through the finish line, exact same time."

"You gotta admit, we Dukes do share fair and square," Luke laughed.

"But who cares?" Daisy asked as she broke into a huge grin, "A Duke still gets the money! We won. We get to keep the farm!"

She threw her arms around Coy while the other Dukes celebrated with a round of yee-haws and yahoos.

"Well congratulations," Mr. Armstrong said as he climbed into his car, "now I've got to go and I think you should too."

As if on cue police sirens filled the air and the Duke's sprang into action, Bo threw the briefcase into the backseat of Black Tilly 2 because it was the closest car and bolted back to the General Lee sliding over the hood to get to the driver's seat. Luke hopped into the passenger side and they began to speed off.

"Hey!" Rose called, "Wait for me!"

She dived in through the passenger side window getting halfway in and Luke pulled her in the rest of the way.

"You okay?" Luke asked.

Rose just nodded and worked on getting untangled from Luke, just as the police cars came into view.

"Hey, Luke, you think the CB will still work?"

Luke nodded.

Bo picked up the end and was about to speak into it but stopped, "Does Maria have a code name?"

"Rebel Racer, Vance made sure to equip the car with a CB, mainly for when he came to visit"

"Seriously?" Bo asked raising an eyebrow, "alright then, this is Lost Sheep 2 to Rebel Racer and Country Cousin, Rebel Racer, Country Cousin, any you got your ears on?"

"Lost Sheep 2 this is Rebel Racer, go ahead."

"Read you loud and clear Lost Sheep 2, go ahead."

"That is a lot of police cars, I think the best thing to do is split up and take three different routes to Chickasaw, we can meet up in Hazzard," Bo explained.

"Sounds like a good idea, but we should probably meet at the bank, we've only got a few hours before that money is due and it's going to take a while to get there," Daisy pointed out.

"Lost Sheep 3 and I are on it," Maria said as Black Tilly 2 sped up, "we'll take Jackson Rd, I'm gone."

"We'll just to straight till we hit it, and Country Cousin, you can take Rosendale."

"10-4 Lost Sheep 2, we're gone,"

Each car veered off in a different direction with a police car following each.

"Luke, do you have any bow and arrows?" Bo asked swerving to avoid a collision with another car.

"Just normal ones, I gave one of the bows and the dyno arrows to Vance and Maria,"

"Then can you take care of that police car please?" Bo asked as Rose reached behind her and after digging through a few old food wrappers produced three arrows and a bow.

"I'm goin'," Luke sighed maneuvering himself so he was sitting on the window ledge of the General, he aimed the bow and arrow at the front right tire of the police car and fired.

It hit the mark and blew out the tire causing it to swerve and hit a streetlight.

"Nice shot," Rose gasped in awe, as Luke slid back into his seat, "um, why do you have bows and arrows in that backseat anyway?"

Bo and Luke looked at each other, "Long story," the replied simultaneously.

"Bo keep your eyes on the dang road!" Luke hollered, Bo looked up and saw a truck baring down on them, he veered to the right and narrowly avoided a collision.

"I saw that," Bo replied grinning mischievously after the shock had worn off, "really."

"A likely story," Luke shot back jokingly.

Coy and Daisy were currently having the same problem with police, but weren't luck enough to have any bows or arrows on them. Coy was driving while Daisy searched through their bags for something to use, she pulled a cloth sack out of Coy's bag and glanced inside.

"Now sugah, why on Earth do you have a bag of nails in here?"

Coy shrugged, "Cannonball Run isn't normally a fair race, but we were so good we never ran into any of that trouble, thought I'd be prepared incase we did though."

"Smart thinking honey," Said Daisy taking a handful of nails and scattering them behind Dixie, the tires on the police car blew out forcing them to stop and allowing Coy and Daisy to lose them easily.

Last was Vance and Maria.

"What are we going to do?" Vance asked driving through a ditch, forcing the police car to follow above them on the road.

"What are you asking me for?" Maria asked, "aren't you the one who normally makes the plans?"

"Not since I married you sweetheart,"

Maria rolled her eyes, "Well, we got the bow and a few dynamite arrows that Luke lent to us for the race, shall we use those?"

Vance nodded, "Good idea sugah."

"Not the time to try and sweet talk me," Maria grumbled shuffling through the back seat, after a few minutes she found them, " I got 'em!"

"Great now fire them."

Maria stared at Vance like he'd grown another head, "Excuse me? Have you lost your mind? I can drive a car really well, but have you forgotten I can't aim?"

"Maria, they blow up, your aim doesn't have to be perfect, now come on," Vance found a piece of land that slanted upwards and used it to drive up onto the road in front of the police car.

"But-"

"Just fire the dang thing!"

"You're death wish," Maria grumbled hooking the arrow into the bow and then trying to aim it at the police car, she let it go and it hit the ground right in front of the car, causing it to go into the ditch they'd just gotten out of, but the police car was trashed.

"Holy sh-"

"Nice shot honey," Vance congratulated patting his wife on the shoulder, "now come on, let's go meet up with the others in Hazzard, we got a farm to save."
