"Luke, how we gonna get outta here?" Bo asked. Luke continued to pace the cell.

"ENOS!" Rosco's yell echoed down from upstairs.

"Sounds to me like Rosco's lookin' over every CB channel for Enos."

"Bingo." Luke said.

"What ch' ya got?"

"Enos's with Daisy and Uncle Jesse, right?"

"Yeah?"

"Rosco don't know that, now does he?"

"No, no I reckon, he don't." Bo said with a smile.

"Good. Y'all know what to do. ROSCO!"

"HEY ROSCO!"

"ROSCO!"

Thus echoed down the stairs as Rosco went down to see what they were yelling about.

"Alright you Dukes, what's all the yellin' 'bout? Can't you see I'm tryin' to find my deputy?"

"Rosco, we know where Enos is."

"You do?"

"Yep- an' if y'all wanna see 'im, y'all better let us go."

"Well- Oh, wait, now I see what you're doin'! You're trying to trick me, ain' cha?"

"No, of course not Rosco." Bo said.

"Enos's at Tri-County" Luke said quietly. Rosco stared.

"That dipstick's at the hospital." He whispered.

"Our Uncle Jesse 's with 'im, an' he wants us to be there." Luke added. Bo nodded.

"Alright, if Enos wants y'all..." Rosco unlocked the cell door, quiet and ashen- faced.

"Thanks Rosco…" Bo said.

"Yeah, Thanks…"

"Y'all better ride with me…" Rosco muttered. Bo looked up at Luke.

"Now what?" He hissed.

"We go to Tri-County." Luke muttered back.

Rosco's head was still bent when he opened the back door to the patrol car and ushered the boys in. He then started the car and drove off for Tri-County.

"There y' go, honey, you got it!" Jamie Rae exclaimed as Daisy finished the alphabet. They had decided to start simple, with letters and numbers, before moving onto the more complex stuff. Daisy mastered the alphabet in her third try, and Uncle Jesse knew it as well. Enos was still working on a few of the letters, but he said he'd practice.

"Daisy, you're doin' a fine job!" Jamie Rae exclaimed again. Daisy grinned, but her eyes wandered to the door. Jesse knew what she was looking for. Bo and Luke still hadn't shown up yet.

"They'll be here soon, Daisy, don't worry."

It's been a long time. She told him.

"They'll be here, baby." She gave him an unconvinced look, and he kissed the top of her head.

They'd better… She told him. Jesse laughed.

"Bo an Luke'll be here soon, Daisy, y'all know that." Enos said. "Now if y'all 'll 'sucse me, I gotta get back to the sheriff's." He rturned to leave, but daisy Kicked him with her good leg,

"What's the matter, Daisy?" he asked.

Please Stay! Just until Bo and Luke get here. She stared up at him.

"Alright, Daisy, Just a little longer."

Thank you, Enos.

"'M lookin' fer Enos Strate…" Rosco muttered.

"He's up in room 308, along with Mr. Duke."

"Thank you." Rosco's head was still bent when he headed up the hall, Bo and Luke hanging back.

"Now what, cuz? When Rosco finds out that Enos's fine, he'll come dang tearin' after us- as usual." Bo began.

"Then we'll just hide. I'm kinda surprised that Enos'd still be here. Plus, now we c'n see Daisy."

"Good thinkin', cuz."

They kept a good distance behind Rosco, following him to Daisy's room. They hung behind the door while he went in.

"Enos-"

"Hi, Sheriff, I was just here vistin'-"

"ENOS, YOU DIPSTICK!" Bo and Luke snickered. "I thought you was- them dang Dukes! I'll get 'em, that's what 'ill do! You get better soon, Daisy."

"'Bye Daisy." Enos said.

"ALRIGHT YOU DUKES!" Rosco's voice got louder as he ran back to the doorway. Bo and Luke both hid as Rosco, trailed by Enos, tore down the hallway "after them". Luke signaled to Bo and they tiptoed into the room.

Daisy's eyes lit up the moment they came in. Jamie Rae got up.

"Y'all must be Bo and Luke. I'll leave y'all 'lone…" She left. Jesse looked over at his nephews.

"What in tarnation?" He asked.

"It's a long story." Luke replied. "Hey Daisy."

Hey Luke.

"Why you usin' sign language Daisy?"

"Uh, boys, Daisy's-" Daisy tapped his arm.

I'm mute, fellas.

"What?" Bo asked.

"Mute?" Luke asked.

"She's mute?" Bo asked

Daisy nodded.

You don't have a problem, do you?

"Of course not, Daisy." Luke said.

"What'd she say?" Bo whispered.

"If we had a problem with her bein' mute."

Bo shook his head. "Daisy, why'd y' think that?"

Well… Uncle Jesse stopped her.

"Why don't you show Bo some sign language, then we'll talk about this. The boys an' I still don't know what happened to y'all."

Daisy nodded, and began to sign the alphabet for Bo, Luke giving him a hand.
