Chapter 11: Found
The Dukes and Cooter got to town in record time. Even though it was nine o'clock at night, Jesse, Daisy, and Cooter were anxious to find out what was going on with the boys. Stopping in front of JD's house, the Dukes and Cooter practically ran up the steps to the front door. Jesse started knocking on the door loud enough to wake the dead.
"Now who in tarnation could that be this time of night?" Boss wondered as he got out of bed and went to answer the door. Boss wasn't the only one who was awaken by the loud knocking. Bo and Luke quietly slipped out of bed and peered outside.
"Wanna go see who it is?" Bo asked Luke in a whisper.
"Sure, why not?" Luke said as they quietly walked out of their room.
Boss opened the door and was surprised to see Jesse standing there, angrier then a wet hen.
"JD, I know you got Bo 'n Luke here!" Jesse shouted.
"I don't know what you're talking about, Jesse. Them good for nothing nephews of yers ain't here."
"Don't tell me, I heard you and the dummy, Rosco talking on the CB. Cooter and Daisy were there too." Jesse said angrily. As Boss and Jesse kept arguing, Bo and Luke were getting more confused by the second.
"I'm confused here, how's come daddy's calling us good fer nothin', and he's saying that we're that guys nephews?" Bo asked Luke in a whisper.
"I dunno, Bo, but I aim to find out. C'mon, let's go see what's going on." Luke said in the same tone. Bo and Luke went over to where the feuding Duke and Hogg were standing. Daisy nearly jumped out of her skin when she saw her cousins.
"Bo, Luke!" Daisy said happily.
"Okay, you know us, but could you tell us who you are?" Luke asked.
"Luke, it's me, yer cousin Daisy. What's wrong sugah?"
"Daisy? Ya know, that name does sound familiar." Bo chimed in.
"Yeah, it does sound familiar." Luke agreed. It was at that instant that Boss and Jesse realized who was standing in front of Daisy.
"What in tarnation? How'd you Duke Boys get in here?" Boss yelled hoping to convince Jesse that he had no idea they were there the whole time.
"Duke Boys? I thought our last names were Hogg." Luke said confused.
"I did no such thing!"
"Yeah you did say that." Bo said. Boss not being able to think of what to say, just did his classic mumble, stutter routine when he knew he'd been caught with his pudgy little hands in the cookie jar, or in Boss' case, the piggy bank.
"Out!" Boss shouted as he pointed a fat finger at the door. "All of you dang blasted Dukes out now!"
"Does that mean us too?" Bo asked.
"Yes! That means you and you!" Boss shouted pointing at Bo then to Luke. Without asking anymore questions, Bo and Luke quietly left the house following Jesse and Daisy. Cooter remained standing in the doorway, leaning against the door frame.
"What do you want, Cooter?" Boss asked angrily.
"Well, you just said for the Dukes to leave, you never said anything about Davenports." Cooter said with a smile.
"Alright, Davenports out!" Boss shouted.
"Yes sir." Cooter said with a smile as he left the house and joined the Dukes by the trucks.
"I'm glad we found the boys." Cooter said happily as he rejoined his friends. Cooter noticed that no one else was smiling.
"I don't understand, why did he say that he was our daddy, but as it turns out he wasn't?" Luke asked so confused he thought that his brain would explode.
"Luke, son, he lied to you and Bo. Your last name is really Duke, your cousins and you've lived on a farm with me and Daisy since your parents were killed when you was kids." Jesse said. Bo and Luke looked at him, still unsure of what's true and what's not. "C'mon, let's go home. You boys have your share of excitement for awhile. You need to rest." Jesse said his voice full of kindness and love.
After helping the boys in Jesse's truck, Jesse got in and waited for Cooter and Daisy to get ready, since there wasn't much more room in Jesse's pickup, Cooter let Daisy ride with him, so that the boys weren't so crowded. After making sure they were all set, Jesse carefully pulled the truck back on to the road and drove towards the Duke farm, Cooter and Daisy not far behind.
About thirty or so minutes later, Jesse and the boys pulled up just outside the farm house, Cooter and Daisy close behind. Getting out, Cooter and Jesse helped Bo and Luke inside the house, and to their room. Once they were settled in, Cooter left. Jesse remained behind for a couple of minutes.
"You boys alright?" Jesse asked in a concerned tone.
"Yeah, we're fine." Luke said answering for both himself and Bo, since Bo was already asleep.
"Alright, if you need anything, don't hesitate to ask." Jesse said as he started to walk out of the room.
Jesse quietly left, closing the door behind him out of habit. Luke lay awake for a little while longer, thinking about the past weeks events. He still wasn't sure what had happened to him and Bo that caused them to get hurt like they were. After a couple of hours, sleep finally claimed Luke, and he feel into a deep sleep.
Over the next couple of days, Bo and Luke started to regain their memories, and within a week they remembered everything from the twister up until the present. Eventually all of their injuries healed and there no further problems, although every once in awhile Bo complained of knee pains, but other then that everything went back to what passes for normal in Hazzard.
