Chapter 6
Somewhere in the universe, on Earth to be exact, in the western hemisphere, in North America, in the United States of America, in Georgia, in a small town in Hazzard County called Hazzard there was a bar called the Boar's Nest. In the Boar's Nest there were some tables, and on one particular table there lay a small tape recorder that we need to keep very close track of. It will go back and forth between many people. But for now, just know that it's on the table in the Boar's Nest.
Bo Duke was just a little apprehensive about the whole situation. He sat in the front seat of Dixie, while Enos and Cooter were in the back. Daisy drove as fast as she could without tipping over her top-heavy Jeep.
Upon arriving at the Boar's Nest, Bo immediately hopped out, followed by Enos, Cooter, and Daisy. They looked around, and they couldn't find it!
Look closely in that there corner, ya'll. There's ol' Rosco, holdin' Flash, who's holdin' the tape recorder in her mouth.
Rosco didn't notice Flash had something in her mouth. At least not until he got back to the police station.
"Sweetheart, whatcha got there?" Rosco asked. Flash dropped the tape recorder, backed away, and barked.
Just then a voice came over the CB. "Rosco!" It was Boss Hogg. "Since you and Cletus wrecked them patrol car o' yers, solve yer problem!
"Does it have ta be a police car?" Rosco wondered.
"No! Yer sheriff! It don't matter whatcher drivin', just get out there catch that Duke!
"Oh. If I'd a known that, I'd be out there chasin' Bo now with m'own car! Keuw, keuw!"
So Rosco forgot about the tape recorder and left it on a table almost within reach of Luke in his cell. Luke reached out, but the only thing within his reach was the broom. He grabbed the end and reached to the table, but he couldn't quite get the tape recorder. He looked around, and his eyes focused in on the keys on the hook. He flipped the broom around so he held the side with the bristles. Once again, he reached out and this time, he hooked the keys on to the broom.
"Yes!" Luke said. He pulled the keys back in and unlocked himself.
After grabbing the tape recorder, he went to sit in Rosco's chair, and pushed the play button.
"Oh Hazel, get over there if'n ya want some," Jesse said, referring to the chicken named Hazel as he fed them. Just then the phone rang. He went inside to answer it.
"Uncle Jesse," Luke's voice came over the phone. "I found a tape recorder that's got a conversation between Boss Hogg and Kristen on it that could prove me an' Bo are innocent.
"How'd ya find it?" Uncle Jesse asked.
"Rosco. I don't think he knows what's on there; he found it in Flash's mouth. He put it on a table and left to go look for Bo."
"Hmm, I'll try ta get hold of Bo fer ya.
"Thanks Uncle Jesse."
They exchanged goodbyes, and hung up. Jesse went to his pickup and pulled out the CB.
"Shepard here, callin' Lost Sheep Two, ya gotcher ears on? I really hope ya do.
"Right here Uncle Shepard," Bo's voice came back over the CB. "What's on yer mind?"
"Ya know anythin' about a tape recorder-"
Bo cut him off. "Uncle Jesse, I know about a tape recorder, what do you know about it?"
"Our other Lost Sheep has it," Uncle Jesse replied.
"Thanks Uncle Jesse!" Bo said gratefully. "Ya'll hear that?" he asked Daisy, Cooter, and Enos. They all nodded in unison.
Meanwhile, over at the phone company, the operator, Maybelle, had heard what Luke and Jesse had been talking about. Seeing as she was Boss Hogg's cousin, she thought it was her cousinly duty to inform him about it.
Within ten minutes of informing his Uncle Jesse about the tape recorder, Luke looked up to see Bo running in; Enos, Daisy, and Cooter close behind.
"Howdy Luke," Bo said. "How's it goin' in here?"
"Just peachy. What d'ya plan on doin' with that?"
Cooter patted Bo on the shoulder. Since making up after their big fight, the two had been extra nice to each other. "We're gonna play this in front of Rosco and Boss."
"Who recorded it?" Luke asked.
"I did, Luke," Enos admitted proudly.
Luke looked surprised. "Enos? You did?"
"Well, what Rosco and Boss Hogg did ain't right. I would have helped in times before, but I didn't know fer sure that they were framin' ya. This time, Rosco told me. I couldn't letcha get arrested on them charges."
Well, ain't that sweeter than one o' Daisy's homemade cookies?
Meanwhile, Boss Hogg was real happy Maybelle told him about the tape recorder. He had Rosco make his way to the police station. He told Kristen, and they hopped in the backseat of his pearly white convertible.
Driving along, the driver wondered (as he often does) why he worked for such a strange employer. He listened to Boss and his niece and he wanted to ask what Boss had done to those poor Duke boys this time. He wished he could voice his opinion, but that would get him fired, and he needed the money. He had a family. Besides, he might as well be needed anyways, because he never used his voice much before. Why start now?
"Uncle Boss!" Kristen exclaimed as she noticed a white Jeep rush by. "That was Bo! Turn around!"
"Oh, we got 'em!" Boss picked up his backseat CB. "Rosco! Don't go to the police station. We're on Highway 16, you go over to High way 3 and we'll cut them off at the Chickasaw County Line!"
"That's a big ten-four Boss! I'm on my way!" Rosco responded.
Boss laughed excitedly. Kristen looked carefully into the Jeep in front of them. She poked Boss Hogg in the shoulder.
"Hey. Uncle Boss, isn't that yer deputy?" Kristen asked, indicating Enos.
Boss followed her gaze into Dixie, where he saw Enos. "Oh! That is my deputy! An' he's runnin' with them Dukes! I'll have his badge fer this!"
Inside Dixie, Enos was worried about getting fired. "Boss Hogg saw me. He'll fire me fer sure."
"Don't worry," Daisy said. "We won't let that happen.
"Yeah, you won't get fired, not if we can help it," Bo said.
Cooter spoke up. "You alright down there, Lukas Dukas?"
Well, they sure had me fooled. I had no idea ol' Luke was down there!
"I'm a little cramped up," said Luke from the floor of the backseat. "But I'm good, condsiderin' Enos's foot is on my nose. It ain't that nice smellin'."
Enos immediately moved his foot away. "Sorry Luke." Shortly afterwards, Cooter noticed Rosco up ahead coming from the other direction.
"Hang on guys, Rosco looks hungry for an' arrest just about now," Cooter stated.
"We'd better cover up Luke somehow," Bo said.
Daisy nodded in agreement. "Cooter, Enos, ya'll are sittin' on a blanket. Pull it out and cover Luke with it."
"Yeah," Bo began. "We should give Luke the tape recorder. Who has it?"
"I do," said Enos. "Right down—uh-oh."
"What?" Cooter asked hesitantly.
"It ain't there no more."
All the exposed Dukes looked at each other worriedly.
Don't it seem to ya'll like Enos loses this thing more than the boys have ever lost Rosco their whole lives? Ya'll stick around now, and say a little prayer for them Dukes.
