Chapter 9
Narrator:
Now was the time to get the Duke's plan into action. The first step was for Bo to call Roscoe.
"This is Bo Duke calling Sheriff Roscoe. You got your ears on?" asked Bo. "What do you want Bo? I ain't got time for your games." Replied Roscoe. "Roscoe this ain't no game I need for you to get to the Boar's Nest. And call for an ambulance." Said Bo. "Why do you need an ambulance?" asked Roscoe. "Roscoe just call them it's matter of life and death."Replied Bo as he placed the mic. back on the table. "I hope this works." Said Boss as he laid down on the floor of his office. Luke and Daisy worked on making Boss looked like he had been shot and bleed to death. After they were done with that Luke got started taking the pictures that Jason had wanted. "I'll take these to Jason. Uncle Jesse's make sure that get's played. I'm pretty sure they will be listen to radio to see if anything happen." Luke told them. "Now be careful, Luke. You don't want to make him mad." Jesse told him. "I know Uncle Jesse. I'll see ya later." Replied Luke.
Back at the old abandoned farm house, Jason and his men where waiting for word from Luke. "Hey Boss man, Do you mind if I turn on the radio?" asked one of the men. "Go ahead." He told him. They turned it onto the local radio station in Hazzard. They heard the special report that was being announced. "We break into song for a special news bulletin." Said the announcer. "Hey turn it up." Commanded Jason. "County Commissioner J.D. Hogg was killed during a robber at the Boar's Nest. At this time reports are still coming in as soon as we know more will let you know." Said the announcer. " He did Boss. He shot J. D. Hogg." Said one of men. "From the sound of it. But I won't believe it until I have the proof in my hands." Said Jason. A few seconds later Luke walks up to the door and knocks. He sees the curtain as if someone was looking out the window and then hears "Come in." Luke opens the door and sees them sitting at a table. Heads toward the table toss the pictures in front of Jason. "Here I hope this is what you wanted. Jason picks up the photo's looks through them. "I guess you did do it. I thought You chicken out just like your Uncle." Jason tells him.
"As you can see the jobs done. Know you better keep your word and stay away from my family. You come anywhere near them and I will kill you myself." Luke tells him. "Are you threatening me, Duke Boy? I can make your life a living hell. I can make it so no would ever know or miss you." He threatens Luke. "Do you think you scare me?" asked Luke. "If you know what's good for you. You'd be very afraid. I make things very difficult for your family. And there would be nothing you could do to stop me. As far as, your family knows your pushing up Daisies.
I hold all cards know get out of my sight." Jason yells at him. "If you . . . " Luke starts to say. "Didn't I tell you to get lost?" Jason tells him for the second time. Luke turns around and heads for the door.
Narrator:
You need to feel so sorry Luke. He has to feel like he's caught in hard place with no place to turn too.
Bo was starting to get worried. Luke had said it wouldn't take him long to deal with Jason. That was more than three hours ago. He should have been back by now. "Uncle Jesse I'm going to go out the cabin check if Luke stopped there. I'm getting worried." Said Bo. "Now Bo, Luke will get here when he can." Replied Jesse. "I know Uncle Jesse. I would feel a whole lot better about this. If I knew what was going on." Replied Bo. Jesse could see the worry in his young nephew eyes. "All-right, but if there's any trouble you call." Jesse told him in a tone that left no room for argument. "Yes sir." Replied Bo as head out the door and head toward the General Lee. It only took Bo about Five minutes to get to the old cabin. Right away he notices that Luke's car was not parked anywhere around the cabin. "I wonder where he's at." Thought Bo. Taking two steps at time Bo figures he might as well go and wait. The cabin its self wasn't every big. It just had enough room for a small bed and table and box that held supples if they ever needed them. Bo looked around the room when he notices a note laying on the table.
He had never notice it before so it must be from Luke he thought as he picked and folded it. At first he couldn't believe what he was reading, he had to go back and to reread it again to make sure he wasn't dream. "Dammit Luke!" yelled Bo as he raced to the general. Leaning into the window, he picked up the mic. "Lost sheep #2 calling Shepard. You got your ears on." Said a very upset Bo. " What's wrong Bo?' asked Jesse. " Has country cousin been around?" asked Bo. "No, I haven't seen him at all. Why." Replied Jesse. "Well it seems like Country Cousin had decided to this without us." Said Bo as he got into the car and head back toward the farm. "Give me few minutes and I'll show you what I mean." Said Bo.
Narrator:
Doesn't that just make your skins crawl? Knowing that the Duke's have known ideal where Luke is.
It wasn't long before Bo was pulling into the Duke farm. Sliding the car to a screeching holt just in front of the barn. "Here read this." Said Bo as he placed the letter Jesse hands.
It read . . .
My Dear Family,
Things have a change scene this morning.
I cannot ask you to help me. I have to
do this on my own. Just know that I'm doing
this to keep ya'll safely. I can't tell you where
I'm at. Please I beg you don't come looking
for me. When the time is right, I will return back
home. But until then know that I love you all.
Love,
Luke
"What is that foolish boy thinking about?" asked Jesse as he finished reading Luke's letter. "What are we going to do?" asked Daisy after she too read the letter. "We are going to go out and look for him." Said Jesse. "All-right Bo you go check out by the old Indian Caves. And Daisy's you checkout Hazzard woods." Said Jesse. "All-right." Replied both Bo and Daisy. "I want you both checking in every 20 minutes. I ain't going to have any more of you coming up missing." Jesse told them. "Where are you going look?" asked Daisy. "I thought I check out by Hazzard Pond." Replied Jesse as he grabs his cap and headed toward the door.
It didn't take Jesse long to get to Hazzard Pond. He started looking around when he heard a branch snap. "All-right Luke, you can come out now." Said Jesse as he continues to look out among trees. "Uncle Jesse, How did you find me?" asked Luke as he came out from where he was hiding from. "This was always the placed. You came too when something was bothering you."Said Jesse." I guess something still haven't changed." Said Luke. "Why did you do it? Why did you leave that letter?" asked Jesse. " I did because I didn't want any of you to get in trouble." Luke tells him. "Now Luke . . . " said Jesse as he put his arm around his nephew. "Ain't you learn yet that your family will always be there for you? If you ain't got family who do you have?" asked Jesse "But." Luke started to say. "No Buts about it, Luke. We are family and family helps one another. No matter what." Jesse told him." Yes Uncle Jesse." Said Luke." Now get in that truck. You have worried enough of your family." Said Jesse. "But Uncle Jesse." replied Luke. "Are you going to get in this truck or do I have to a hogg tie to that seat?" asked Jesse in voice that left no room for doubt. "Yes sir." Replied Luke. "Luke, you know that I love you."Asked Jesse. "I love you to Uncle Jesse." Said Luke as they walked back to truck. The closer they got to the truck they could hear a frantic voice calling. "Lost Sheep call Shepard. Where are you?" asked a worried Bo. "You got your Uncle Shepard. What's wrong Bo?" asked Jesse. "Daisy and I have been calling you for awhile. Where have you been?" asked Bo. "I wasn't in hearing distance." Said Jesse. 'We were starting to get worried." Said Daisy. "Why don't you two meet back at the farm?" Jesse told them. "Have you found Country Cousin?" asked Bo. "Just meet me at the farm will talk there." Said Jesse. "All-right Uncle Jesse." Said Daisy.
"You ready Luke?" asked Jesse as he placed the mic. back on the seat. "I guess." Replied Luke. "Everything is going to be o. k. You'll see." Said Jesse as he started the truck and headed toward the farm.
