Chapter 11
The next morning it was business as usual for the Dukes' family. The only difference was today being the day. The day that they put rests of their plan into action. It was just a little after 8:00 in the morning and Jesse was up making coffee. When Luke walked into the kitchen "Morning Luke."Said Jesse. "I'm getting too old for this." Said Luke as he walked over toward the cabinet to get a cup down. "Too old for what?" asked Uncle Jesse. "Sleeping in the barn." Replied Luke as he poured in himself a fresh cup a coffee. "You had a perfectly good bed to sleep in.
You just choices not to." Said Jesse. "I know I just didn't want to talk to Bo yet." Said Luke. "You're going to have to talk to him soon. You cannot keep avoiding him." Jesse told him. "I know and I will." Said Luke. " You will what." Asked Daisy. "Talk to bo." Replied Luke. He's right you know." Said Daisy as she went to the refrigerator to get what she needs to fix their breakfast. "Uncle Jesse, I'm going to be heading out. I want to start getting this ball rolling." Said Luke. "What about breakfast?" asked Daisy. "I'll just grab something later." Said Luke. "Luke" said Jesse as the young man started out the door. Luke turned around and looked at his uncle "Be careful." Said Jesse. "I will." Said Luke as head toward the door. "I don't like it, Daisy. My big toe is aching. When it does that they're usually trouble around the corner." Said Jesse. "Morning ya'll" said Bo as he came into the kitchen. He had hope to see Luke sitting with his family. He wanted to clear the air between them. "Where's Luke?" asked bo as sat down in his chair. "He's all ready gone." Said Daisy. "Dammit." Cursed Bo "Beauregard James Duke, I will not have that kind of talk in my house." Said Jesse. "Sorry Uncle Jesse. I'm tired of Luke never being here when I want to talk. It almost like he's avoiding me." Said Bo with a hint of disappointment in his voice. "Bo just give him time. You know that when Luke's ready to talk. He'll find ya." Said Jesse. "I know Uncle Jesse. I just wish.." Said Bo. "Bo you know how stubborn that cousin of your can gets." Said Jesse. "Breakfast ready." Said Daisy as she placed the pancakes on the table. "Bo when you're done. I want you to get started on your chores." Said Jesse. "But I was hoping to find Luke. And see if he needs help," said Bo. "No buts about it. Chores first then you can go." Said Jesse. "Yes sir. May I be excused then?" asked Bo. "Go ahead." Said Jesse knowing how worried, Bo was.
It didn't Bo long to finish his chores before he was out on the road searching for Luke. He search from one end of Hazzard to another before he was able to locate Luke. He pulled up beside Luke's car got out of the General and walked over to where Luke was sitting. "Morning Cuz." Said Bo. Luke didn't say anything just continue looking out across the land. "Luke, I'm sorry. I didn't mean what I said." Said Bo. "I know Bo. I'm not mad anymore. I had time to think things out." Said Luke. "Were still cousins?" asked Bo. "Of course." Said Luke.
"Call my partner in crime. You got your ears on?" came a voice on the CB. Luke got off the front of the car and walked over to the window. Reached in and grab the CB mic. "What do you want Jason?" asked Luke in an uncivilized tone. "Is that any way to talk your friend?" asked Jason. "You aint no friend of mine." Said Luke. "Now Luke, I watch what you have to say to me I still hate for something to happen to that family of yours." Said Jason. "What do you want Jason? I'm tired of playing your games." Said Luke. "Scene you ask like that. I want you to meet me at Sutton's Landing in 30 minutes. We have some things to discuss about." Jason said that let's Luke know he met business. "All right Jason." Said Luke as placed the CB mic. back in the car. "Luke your not going by yourself. I'm coming with you and we are telling Jesse what's going on." Bo told him. "Bo your not coming." Said Luke. "Just try and stop me. Let's go Luke." Said Bo as got into the car. "BO, I'm not playing here. Get out of the car." Said Luke. "No. If your going to do this you need someone there. Someone Jason doesn't knows there in case of things get out of hand." Said Bo.
"All right but make sure he doesn't see you." Said Luke. Bo reaches over and grab the CB mic. "What are you doing?" asked Luke. "I'm letting Uncle Jesse what's going on. And tell him to have Roscoe and Enos waiting not far from Sutton's landing." Said Bo.
