Daisy finally backed away from the house and got back into her jeep. She searched the exterior, hoping she might get a glimpse of Goldie through one of the windows, but she didn't see anyone.

A little while later, she arrived home to find Bo and Luke outside with the hood to the General Lee open.

"Hey Daisy! We sure are glad you're back. Uncle Jesse wouldn't let us start on that gumbo without you." Bo announced.

"Sorry, Bo."

"So how was Enos, anyway? Still in one piece?" Luke asked.

"Let's talk about it over supper, I'm a little hungry myself." Daisy replied.

The cousins all filed into the kitchen where Jesse had already set the pot of Gumbo on the table.

"Ah, good, it's still warm." Jesse smiled, ladeling out the first bowl full.

"Really, you shouldn't have waited on me, Uncle Jesse. Gumbo's not as good unless it's nice and hot."

"Well we weren't going to wait much longer. I figured if you weren't back by now that meant that Enos had invited you in to eat at his place."

"Invited me in to eat? Uncle Jesse, he didn't even invite me in!"

Uncle Jesse looked puzzled. "Well that don't sound like Enos at all."

"Yeah. There's quite a few things that don't sound like Enos ever since that Goldie Matthews came to town."

"Goldie Matthews? Who's that?" Luke asked.

"Enos's partner from the police academy down in Atlanta. He brought her home with him!"

Bo grinned. "Why Enos Strait, that sly little devil!"

"It ain't like that, Bo. She hurt her ankle before they left the academy and he brought her home to take care of her."

"Well a hurt ankle ain't exactly anything you'd have to lay around and be nursed back to health over, if you know what I mean." Bo laughed.

"No I don't know what you mean, Bo Duke! Enos is the sweetest man I ever met and for you to suggest such a thing, well,….well it just shows what kind of mind you have, that's what!"

Bo opened his mouth to speak again, but Jesse tapped him on the arm a couple of times and he knew that he was to keep quiet.

"Well Daisy." Jesse began. "I'm sure that Enos will take good care of Goldie. But if I were you I wouldn't go around mentioning the fact that she's there to everybody. He might not take too kindly to that."

"That's another thing, Jesse. Enos told me that he didn't care what people around here thought about her being there. Imagine, Enos not caring what people think about him having a woman in his house!"

"That is strange." Jesse admitted.

"What does she look like, anyway?" Luke asked.

"I don't know, I haven't seen her. I overheard Enos talk about her and he said that she had blond hair and she was very pretty."

"Wow! Sounds like it's high time some introductions were made." Bo laughed.

"I've tried, Bo. He won't let me anywhere near her." Daisy replied.

"Who was talking about you?" Bo grinned slyly as Daisy rolled her eyes.

"I'd like to meet her myself." Uncle Jesse mused. "I'd be interesting to see who Enos Strait has taken such an interest in."

"Well, there's one sure way you can see her Daisy." Luke announced.

"How's that, Luke?" Daisy asked as Luke rubbed his chin in thought.

"What's taking him so long?" Daisy asked the next morning as she sat in the General along with her cousins.

"Just calm, down, Daisy. It ain't quite time for him to be gone yet." Luke replied as they remained hidden behind some underbrush near Enos's house.

"Here he comes now." Bo announced.

"I'll be back to check on you at lunchtime, Goldie." Enos yelled back into the house as he closed the front door and locked it. He then got into his patrol car and headed toward town.

"Let's go." Luke announced as the three cousins got out of the General and ran toward the house. "Go ahead, Daisy." He said when they reached the front door.

Daisy knocked loudly on the door. She looked to Luke for encouragement as Bo stood there arranging his hair just so and practicing his smile.

"Maybe it's taking her a minute, you know, if she's got a busted ankle and all." Luke suggested when no one answered the door.

Daisy knocked again a moment later, only to be met with the same response.

"Well, guess she can't, or won't answer the door." Daisy mused.

"Maybe she's in the back and couldn't hear us." Luke suggested, motioning for his cousins to follow him.

The three went around the house, looking in all of the windows. A couple of lamps were on and a fire was dying down in the fireplace, giving the indication that someone was still there. However, the house seemed empty.

"She sure is good at hidin', ain't she?" Daisy asked..

"She's gotta be upstairs." Bo summarized.

"Nice observation, Sherlock." Luke said, receiving a smirk from Bo.

"Look like a television on in an upstairs room." Daisy announced, standing back from the house a bit and staring at an upstairs window.

Luke looked up at the window and remembered something he had seen moments earlier against Enos's backyard shed. He tapped Bo on the shoulder and pointed. "You thinking what I'm thinking?"

Bo grinned. "I sure am!"

"What are you guys talkin' about?" Daisy asked as her cousins ran to the shed and picked up an extendable ladder. She opened her mouth in shock as they brought the ladder back up to the window and, as quietly as possible, extended it and placed it under the window.

"There you go, Daisy." Bo announced, motioning toward the ladder.

"Are you guys crazy? What kind of person would climb a ladder to spy on someone?"

Bo shrugged his shoulders. "Me n Luke here's been doin' it ever since the McCraken sisters got their first training bra."

Daisy gave Bo a sidelong glance. "I wanna see her but I'm not gonna climb a ladder to spy on someone."

"Well… I guess that leaves it up to me, doesn't it?" Bo replied, rapidly ascending the ladder.

Daisy smiled and shook her head as Bo neared the window. He was just placing his hand on the windowsill when it happened.

The safety locks on the ladder gave way! As Bo swang wildly by one hand, Luke pulled Daisy away from the ladder which folded back down and fell against Enos's downstairs window, breaking it.

"Ya'll hang around now, ya hear?"
