Chapter8: Back to Hazzard
After Boss finished filling out the release forms for both Bo and Luke, they were released with strict bed rest orders. Because of Bo's knee, and the fact his arm was in a cast, meant he couldn't use crutches until his arm was healed, so he had to use a wheel chair until then. Luke on the other hand was able to use crutches, but he had to take it easy while using them since he had just had the splint on his wrist removed the day before. His wrist turned out to be quite sore, but he somehow managed.
"Alright boys, we're going over to the Boars Nest, and your gonna stay there and rest up. I closed it up this week just for you two." Boss said with that fake smile of his. Bo and Luke looked at each other for a moment before they were helped out to Boss' car. Once they were both settled as comfortably as they could get, Boss ran around to the driver's side and got in. He started the engine and pulled out of the parking lot, heading back towards Hazzard to start getting part two of his plan ready to go.
Jesse, Daisy, and Cooter were just outside of town, having been looking in the backwoods all day, they tried their best not to give up hope on finding the boys alive and well. They had checked everywhere in the county and even in Sweetwater and Chickasaw Counties. It seemed to them that Bo and Luke just dropped off the face of the planet.
"Uncle Jesse, I'm so worried about them. It's been almost three days and there's still no sign of them anywhere." Daisy said as she tried to control her emotions, which proved to be a difficult task.
"Don't worry baby, we'll find them." Jesse said as he tried to comfort Daisy.
"We should get back to the garage and get something to eat and to rest up. We won't be able keep looking for Bo and Luke if we're too exhausted. And besides we could use something to eat to help keep our strength up." Cooter said through the CB.
"Yeah, yer right Cooter." Jesse said into his CB mic. With that, the group headed back to Cooter's garage.
Boss and the boys arrived at the Boars Nest a couple of hours after they left the hospital. Boss got out of his car and helped Luke out of the car first before going and helping Bo. Once they were all ready to go, Boss started talking.
"Alright, here we are, the Boars Nest," Boss said proudly. "This is your home away from home. You two practically live here." Boss said.
"The Boars Nest?" Bo asked confused. "I'm sorry daddy, but I don't remember anything about the Boars Nest."
"Yeah, me either." Luke said in agreement.
"Oh, don't strain yerselves, it'll all come back to you sooner or later." Boss said with that fake smile of his. 'Although I'd rather it be later rather then sooner.' Boss thought to himself. Once the boys and Boss were in the main bar room, Boss headed back towards the front door.
"Where ya goin' daddy?" Luke asked.
"I need to get yer Uncle Rosco. You two just stay here and make yerselves comfy, I'll be back as soon as I find him." Boss said, that smile still on his face, as he walked outside. Boss got in his white Cadillac and drove away to where he knew the local sheriff would most likely be at. Bo and Luke were inside the bar looking around trying to remember something about the bar and themselves, but with no luck. At least that's the way Luke thought it seemed, Bo on the other hand had started to remember a few small things.
"Ya know Luke, I seem to remember something about who I am." Bo said suddenly. Luke looked over at his 'brother' confused.
"What do ya mean?"
"I mean that I remember something that daddy told me once, it was something about a family, but I can't remember they're names."
"Can you tell me what he said about them?"
"I keep thinking he said that they was no good dirty varmints that always got into everyone else's business."
"Sounds like a bad family."
"Yeah, I think there was three of them too."
"I guess we could ask daddy when he gets back."
"Yeah, I guess so." Bo said. Before either of them could say another word, they both heard a rather loud growling sound.
"What was that?" Luke asked curiously.
"Um, I think that was my stomach. I wish daddy would hurry up and get back."
"Yeah, now that you mention it, I am kinda hungry myself." Luke said with a laugh. Bo and Luke just waited in the main bar room, talking about nothing in particular, since they really couldn't think of anything interesting to talk about.
Meanwhile in town, Boss' guess as to where his brother-in-law would be, was correct. There sitting in front of the court house was Rosco's patrol car. Looking around to make sure no Dukes or Davenports were around, Boss quickly made his way inside the county court house. Rosco was inside sitting at his desk looking through some wanted posters.
"Rosco, I need you to come with me." Boss said as he started towards his office. Rosco was startled a little by Boss, but quickly followed Boss into his office.
"Uh, what can I do for ya Boss?" Rosco asked.
"Well you can start by shutting your trap and listening," Boss snapped. "Now listen, I got them Duke Boys at the Boars Nest, and I'm gonna need you to go there and watch them while I go take care of something at the bank."
"Uh, but won't they recognize me and try to get away?"
"Rosco, you dipstick, they think you're their uncle and I'm their daddy. And that's exactly what I want them to think until after they're in the pokey for good."
"But Boss, I don't think that you pinnin' somethin' on the Dukes right now is a very good idea."
"Rosco, I don't pay you to run your mouth, I pay you to follow orders, and I order you to watch them Duke Boys until I get back, otherwise I'll divorce your fat sister, Lulu, and make her move back in with you."
"You wouldn't."
"I would and I will if'n you don't your sorry hide over to the Boars Nest!"
"Khew, khew, I'm gone!" Rosco said as he ran out of the court house. 'That fat little meadow muffin…' Rosco mumbled under his breath. Once Rosco was done, Boss headed over to the bank to begin part two of his plan to get Bo and Luke behind bars for good.
Well that's that. Hope ya'll liked that chappie, now ya know what to do. Go on, push that little purple button, I know you want to ;-)
