The Boars Nest was alive with chatter. Waylon and Johnny were sitting in the furthest corner of the bar talking about nothing in particular. Johnny was listening to Waylon tell him about how he had the Dukes help back when Boss Hogg tried to steal his mobile museum, when a man who appeared to be in his mid forties started watching them.
"Hey, is it just me, or has that guy over there in the black trench coat been watching us?"
"What guy?"
"That guy over there." Johnny said hooking a thumb over at the middle aged man.
"Oh yeah, I noticed him watching us. What do you think he wants?"
"I dunno, but I don't think it's to say hello."
"Yeah, let's just ignore him." While Waylon and Johnny were talking, the Dukes were just arriving at the Boars Nest. Jesse parked the truck as close to the entrance way as possible. Once the truck was completely stopped, Luke got out and got Bo's wheelchair out of the back. Yeller started jumping up and down and wagging his tail excitedly when Luke came around to the back of the truck.
"Whoa Yeller, calm down." Luke said as he got the wheelchair out of the back. Without warning, Yeller jumped out of the bed of the truck and began running around barking and acting as if he wanted Luke to chase him.
"Yeller, get back in the truck. Yeller, now!" Luke yelled. Yeller didn't listen and took off running to the other side of the truck. After Luke helped Bo sit in the wheelchair, he walked around to see if he could catch Yeller, but when he looked around the side of the truck, Yeller was gone. Luke walked back around to the passenger's side in case maybe he had run over to Bo.
"He's not here." Jesse said. Bo was the only one who knew where Yeller was, but wasn't about to tell Luke that he knew, he was enjoying watching Luke run around trying to find Yeller.
"Yeller, come on you dumb dog, where'd ya go?"
"He mustn't be to dumb if he gave you the slip there, Luke." Bo said with an amused look on his face.
"You know where he went, don't you?" Luke asked suspiciously.
"No I don't, whatever gave you that idea?" Bo said putting on his best innocent face.
"Bo, you ain't a very good liar, you couldn't keep a straight face when I asked you. So if you know where he's at, you best tell me or else."
"Or else what?"
"Or else, I'll make you, I'll make you um, I'll tell you what I'll do when I think of it."
"Uhu, sure you will."
"Oh hush."
"No."
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes."
"Boys, enough." Jesse commanded.
"Yes sir." Both boys said in unison.
"Good, now Bo, if you know where Yeller is, you best tell Luke, and Luke, be nice, okay?"
"Yes sir. Luke, Yeller's under the truck."
"Huh? Under it? I never would've thought of lookin' there." Luke bent down and looked under the truck, and sure enough there was Yeller.
"C'mon you big dummy, get out from under there and back in the truck." Luke said as he started pulling on Yeller's collar. Yeller didn't make any indication that he was gonna move.
"Bo, tell this dang dog to move his butt, before I make him move."
"Alright Luke, if you say so."
"I do say so, so c'mon, hurry up."
"Alright, c'mon Yeller." Bo called. Yeller instantly moved, and crawled out from under the truck. Yeller walked over to, who patted him on the head.
"Alright, hop back in the truck, and if you stay, I may bring you something out."
BARK, BARK! 'Bring me out a hamburger if you can.'
"Alright, now go on get back in the truck." Yeller obediently did as he was told and hopped back in the truck, while Luke shut the tailgate.
"That dog really don't like me, does he?" Luke asked Jesse.
"Well I don't think he hates you, he just, well likes to play games with you. If you ask me, he sounds a lot like a certain someone I know back when he was little."
"Oh, really? Who does he remind you of?" Luke asked curiously.
"He reminds me a lot of you when you was knee high to a grasshopper." Jesse said with a chuckle.
"I was never like that, was I?"
"Yep, in fact, you was worse then Bo. You got into just about everything you could get yer hands and mouth on. We had to keep things picked up 'cause you'd try to put anything and everything in yer mouth."
"Oh, well I just never pictured myself being ornery, I know Bo was almost always getting into trouble. I just never knew I was worse then him."
"Yeah, well now you two are the complete opposite, Bo's the one getting into so much trouble, while yer tryin' get him and yerself out of trouble." Jesse said with a chuckle as he started towards the door with Bo. Luke just looked at Jesse with a smile on his face before jogging to catch up to his uncle and cousin.
The man who had been watching Waylon and Johnny, turned his attention towards the door when he heard some people enter. At first he only saw two people, but once they started moving towards where Waylon and Johnny sat, he saw a third person.
'Damn, I thought I got rid of that kid a few months back. The boss ain't gonna like this.' The stranger thought to himself. Not wanting to make himself seem to suspicious, he decided to wait for a little while before leaving.
"Howdy." Luke greeted as he took a seat across from Johnny and Waylon. Jesse sat next to Luke and Bo sat at the end of the table.
"'Bout time ya'll got here." Johnny joked.
"Luke here was driving like a turtle." Bo said laughing. Luke just passed Bo a 'yer gonna get it' look.
"Hey Bo, here's a five, go get a cheeseburger or somethin'." Luke said as he handed Bo a five dollar bill.
"Luke, you know the food here would kill a buzzard." Bo complained.
"Bo, quit complaining, Daisy said that the food's actually gotten a little better here."
"Well that's her opinion, but my opinion is yuck."
"Fine, I'll go get myself a cheeseburger," Luke said as he waited for Jesse to let him out. "Ya'll want anything while I'm there?"
"I'll just have the usual." Jesse said.
"Same here." Bo said.
"Alright, what about you guys?" Luke asked Johnny and Waylon.
"We're fine, thanks." Johnny said. Waylon nodded his head in agreement. A few minutes later, Luke came back with everyone's orders. While they were enjoying their food and drinks, the man decided that while they were busy, that it be the perfect time to slip out of the Boars Nest without being noticed. Going to his car, he reached in and grabbed the CB mic and switched his CB over to channel 22, a private channel that he and his boss used.
"Boss, we got trouble. That Duke boy is still alive, but we got an advantage over him. He's in a wheelchair right now." The stranger said.
'Alright, as soon as he's alone, finish him off. After he's outta the way, take care of the rest of them Dukes.' A voice said over the CB.
"Right boss. I'm gone." With that, the man got in his car and sped away from the Boars Nest. The Dukes, Johnny, and Waylon remained at the Boars Nest for a couple of hours before they decided to head back to the farm. All of them completely unaware of the trouble about to unfold.
