Chapter 2

Later, when Rosco returned back to the Boar's Nest, to see Boss Hogg, and after Flash did his normal growling-at-Boss-Hogg thing, he started to tell the Boss about what he heard while in the tree at the Duke farm.

"Boss, I heard that Bo Duke is, well he's uh, he's dyin'."

"Oh, really?" asked Boss. "Well, ain't that just the most awful thing I've heard in looooong time. Bo Duke, dyin'." His voice made it sound like you couldn't tell if it was sarcastic or not.

Rosco took off his hat in honor of Bo. "I also heard that he wants us to set 'im up some more before he goes."

"Well, we'll just have to give the boy what he wants, then, now won't we?"

Rosco was getting all excited. "Oo, oo, what're we gonna do?" he asked.

"We can blame the kidnappin' of poor ol' Doc Watson on him. He probably did it, anyway. You know them Dukes."

"Yeah, them Dukes is always lyin' ta us," Rosco agreed.

The next day, Bo and Luke were out driving, as one would expect of them. Everything was going just fine and dandy, until this red sedan showed up behind them. Luke looked back, and it was obvious that they wanted to pass them. There were two of them; one with fiery red hair, and the driver was a black man. He rammed into the General as hard as he could.

"Well, ain't that nice," said Bo. "Rammin' us off the road like that. If they really wanna pass, I'll slow down." He tried that, but him and Luke got rammed harder then before, sending them off the road into a ditch.

"Dang it!" Luke exclaimed. "I wonder who they were."

"I dunno, cuz, but I wanna find out," said Bo, somewhat excited.

Luke picked up the CB radio. "Breaker, breaker, this is Lost Sheep callin' Crazy Cooter. Ya gotcher ears on out there?"

"Hey ya'll," came a voice. "This here is Craaaaaaaaazy Cooter. I may be crazy but I ain't dumb. What do ya'll need?"

"A tow truck, out here on Highway 16 over by the Commen Farm."

"Alright Lukas Dukas I'm gone."

Meanwhile, in the red sedan, the redhead whom we know as Charlie, said "God Nicodemus, you tryin' ta blow this whole thing?"

Nicodemus shrugged. "Sorry Charlie."

Charlie glared at him. "The last thing we need are some hoodlums in that bright orange car chasin' us around and findin' out what we're up to. It'd screw everything up!"

Nicodemus, always the optimist, said "Well, at least we won't have to worry if it's the same car or not. It's pretty obvious."

Charlie shook his head.

Don't you think Charlie's voice sounds an awful lot like Luke's?

"What's the prognosis, Cooter?" Bo asked, slightly preoccupied.

"Well, it's just a busted carburetor, but it'll cost ya 'bout 150 simoleons."

Luke sighed. "Ain't there a family and friends discount?" he asked jokingly.

Cooter looked at him seriously. "That is the family and friends discount." Then he smiled. "You don't like it, take yer business elsewhere."

Bo, who wasn't paying his full attention to their banter, said "But yer the only mechanic for dang near 50 miles."

"Bo," said Cooter, eyeing the Duke suspiciously. "I was kiddin'."

"Oh," said Bo, obviously still not giving Cooter his full attention. "Ha. That's funny."

Cooter looked back and forth between Bo and Luke. "Alright you two. What's goin' on?"

Bo sighed. "Luke you tell him. I used up all my energy just tellin' you an' Uncle Jesse an' Daisy."

Cooter looked at Luke suspiciously. After Luke didn't say anything for a while, he said, "Wait a minute. Does this have anythin' ta do with that phone call at the Boar's Nest yesterday?"

Luke sighed. Then he told Cooter everything.

"All right Mrs. Watson, calm down," Enos told the nice old lady. She had called him, near hysterics, begging him to come out to their farm. But she hadn't told him what was wrong as of yet.

He handed her a handkerchief. "I'm sorry Mrs. Watson, but I can't help you if I don't know what's goin' on."

Another sob escaped her. "This fella, with a real nice, deep voice, kinda like that shorter Duke boy, only harsher, called me and said that I would never see Henry again unless that bullheaded J.D. Hogg raised his ransom and gave all the money ta him, whoever on earth he is. And then he hung up, just like that!"

Enos showed sympathy for the poor old woman. "I'm real sorry 'bout that Mrs. Watson. I'll do whatever I can to help ya."

"Thanks, Enos, you're such a sweetheart, but you know J.D. won't give up his money like that, especially for me or Henry!" she wailed.

Now folks it's time for a Hazzard County history lesson. Back in the day, when J.D. was a little younger and a little skinnier and a little nicer, he and Mrs. Watson were in love. Amazing, huh? Well, anyways, that lasted until she met Henry and fell in love with him instead. Ol' Boss didn't take to kindly to that, and he never forgave either of them, even after he married Lulu.

After Cooter had fixed the General, and as Bo and Luke were leaving town, they saw the same red sedan they saw before. "Let's git 'em Bo, they're headin' out towards the Boar's Nest," Luke said.

"You got it, cuz," Bo said. "YEEEEEEEEEEE-HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW!" he shouted as his foot pushed on the gas pedal. This is exactly what he had wanted. Just to get himself into a little trouble before he died.

Inside the red sedan, Charlie was getting angry. "Dang them! I knew they'd come after us! Step on it, Nic!"

Nicodemus rolled his eyes. Then he accelerated. "Don't worry Charlie, I'll lose 'em real easy." But Bo and Luke weren't willing to give up that easy. As Nicodemus accelerated, Bo did too.

Bo chuckled to himself. "Some people. They just don't understand that when they speed up, the car following them will speed up, too."

Luke joined in on the joke. "Yeah. It ain't that complicated. Keep it up, Bo."

"Oh don't worry, cousin. I am." Bo seemed to be having too much fun chasing these baddies. Then, the car bypassed the Boar's Nest, just as the boys suspected they would. They headed west, but unfortunately for the bad guys, all they were going to get to was the riverbed that the boys had jumped oh so many times.

Nicodemus was a decent driver and could jump the riverbed, but he still couldn't shake Bo and Luke. He was out of tricks now. "Charlie, I think it's time to pull out ol' reliable."

"You got it," Charlie said. He drew his handgun.

Back in the General, Bo saw the gun. "Dang it Luke. It looks like them dudes wanna take a few weeks off my life."

Luke, who tried not to think about Bo's condition, ignored the joke. "I wonder if there's somethin' here to get rid of that there gun."

Now Charlie's hand hung out the window, gun in it. "Keep 'er steady, Bo," said Luke.

"You got it," said Bo, gripping the steering wheel tighter. Then all of a sudden, Rosco showed up behind the Dukes out of the blue. "Dang it Rosco. This ain't the time to be chasin' us down." But Rosco still chased them, his sirens blaring.

Rosco did not notice the car in front of the Dukes. "Kuew, kuew, Flash, I got 'em this time. Them Dukes is mine. Iiiiiigiit!" He was excited.

Meanwhile, Charlie shot at the General's tire, and Bo lost control and went off the road. They flip flopped a few times before finally landing safely (well not really) on whatever was left of the wheels.

Bo hit the dashboard with his fist. "Dang it! We were so close to gettin' them dudes off the road, then they done got us off the road."

Luke shook his head. "Bo, this just ain't the General's day."

Rosco had pulled his car off to the side of the road and got down to get the Dukes. At first he was afraid they might be hurt, but once he saw they were okay, he got himself mad. "You Duke boys is under arrest! I'm gonna cuff ya an' stuff ya. I love it, I love it!"

Bo rolled his eyes. "Rosco, didn't ya see the car in front of us? They done shot the General's tires!"

Rosco looked confused. "I didn't see no car, what're ya talkin' about?"

Bo and Luke sighed in unison. "Check the tires, Rosco, you'll see," Luke said.

He checked the tires. "You probably blew this on a nail or somethin'"

Luke shook his head. "You know that's what happened."

"Yer lyin' ta me. You Dukes is always lyin' ta me." He didn't leave room for either Duke cousin to argue before he put cuffs on them and made them go into the car.

Meanwhile, back at the bad guys' hideout, Perkins was not too happy with Charlie and Nicodemus.

"How could you let them get away? That blonde, I saw him yesterday, yeah thinks he's already gonna die. He shouldn't care if he dies a few weeks before his time. I figured that would make it easier for you idiots, but apparently you're just too stupid to understand that!"

Charlie spoke up. "Well it was all Nic's fault. He was the one who aroused their suspicion by ramming them off the road!"

And out they broke into an argument. They continued on until Perkins silenced them. "Okay, well, you idiots are just gonna have to keep tryin.'"

"Don't worry boss," Charlie said. "It'll be our pleasure. Then we can move onto ransom money for the old man, right?"

"Don't worry, we'll get there."

As soon as Bo and Luke got to jail, they called Uncle Jesse. He wasn't home, so they waited a while.

But as they were in jail, they were trying to figure out what those dudes were up to.

"I just don't get it Bo," Luke began. "What were they after?"

"I don't really know," Bo said. "Lemme think about it."

"Don't hurt yerself."

"Cute. I don't know what they want, but I'm gonna find out before I die."

Luke always ignored Bo whenever he mentioned death, except for this time. "I'm gonna help ya. If yer really gonna die, I at least want ya ta die happy."

"Thanks Luke," Bo said gratefully.

But the first thing them boys has gotta do is get themselves outta jail. I sure hope they find out Perkins is a fraud. Ya'll stick around now.
