Against All Odds: One:

The Duke Boys got to "The Boar's Nest" in time, and they frantically searched for Daisy, and Bo called out, "Daisy!" and Luke called out in a tone that he used when Bo and Daisy were kids and fooling around, "Daisy Duke, You come out this instant, or I will get Uncle Jesse, and he will tan your hide!" and there was still nothing, and they continued their search, and they went behind the bar, and both were startled by the sight in front of them, Bo was emotional, and said exclaiming, "Daisy!" and Luke checked for a pulse, and she was breathing but barely, and he said in a commanding tone, "Bo, Go to the "General" and get some blankets, we need to warm her up, I will get Uncle Jesse on the line", and he nodded, and they went to do their tasks.

Luke got the C.B. fixed in no time, and he raised Jesse on it, and he said, "Lost Sheep One to Shepherd, You got your ears on? Come back", and Jesse's voice came in crisp on the other end, "Shepherd here, what's going on, Luke, you should been home hours ago", and Luke was on the verge of tears, filled in him on what happened to Daisy, and Jesse said on the end of the line, "I'll meet you there, hold on", and they hung up, and Luke went over to Bo, and to find out how Daisy is doing.

"There is no change, Cousin", Bo said emotionally, and Luke nodded, and they wrapped the blankets around Daisy, and hugged her between them to keep her warm, and alive, and Luke said as he composed himself, "Help me get her into the "General Lee", and you take "Dixie" and let's not waste anytime", as they were doing this, Boss Hogg and Rosco came back, cause they thought they forgot something, and when they saw the condition that Daisy was in, Bo said, "It was those Rapists/Robbers who did this", and Boss Hogg said, "Let us help you", and they got Daisy into the "General" and they went straight to Tri-County Hospital.

Jesse was thinking on the way to the hospital, and he thought to himself, "My girl, my sweet baby girl is hurt, I can't live without her, so please, God, if you need to take someone, take me I am ready, she isn't, Children aren't suppose to outlive their parents", and he was shedding tears, and he thought to himself with determination, "No one can kick a Duke down!" and then he calmed himself down, and focused on the road, and getting to the hospital in one piece.

Luke and Bo came busting into the Waiting Room, and they carried Daisy in, followed by Boss, and Rosco, and Bo called out, "We need help here!" and Luke said frantically, "Please, Our Cousin is in trouble!" Doc Appleby came down in a rush with a small staff besides him, and he examined Daisy, and barked, "Get her in to Trauma One, and get set up, we are gonna operate on her!" and the staff took her down in a hurry, and he turned to the boys, Boss, and Rosco, and said, "We are gonna have to operate, I will speak when I am done", and they nodded, and the boys sent Boss Hogg, and Rosco home, and they sat down in the Waiting Room, and put their arms around each other, and hugged each other.

In the Operating Room, Daisy is on the table, and they did a repair job on her, and she was stable, and holding her own, and they were pumping as much of her blood type as they could, and then they sutured it up, and Doc Appleby was pleased with the progress, and he said to Daisy in her ear, "You did really good, Daisy, really good, now you are going to Recovery, and rest", and he changed his clothes, and went to tell the Dukes what happened.

Jesse came through the doors in a hurry, and he hugged his nephews, and comforted them the way he used to when they were little, and he said soothingly, "It will be ok, Boys, Daisy's a Duke, and we don't give up on each other", and then the boys nodded, sobbed harder, and Jesse managed to calm them down, and all of sudden Doc Appleby came up to them with a pleased expression, and he had this to say to them.

"Daisy had made it through the surgery, and she is recovery but the bad news is that she is still in critical condition, but I know her, and you, you Dukes are strong, and fight", and Bo said, "You got that right, Doc", and then he left to his rounds, and Luke let out a whoop of joy, and they headed for the Recovery Ward.

Daisy is comfortable for the time being, and the Duke Men entered, and they were emotional at the sight of her, and cried for their loved one, and themselves. "Hey, Little Girl, please come back, we need you here, don't leave us", and he kissed her forehead, and Bo was emotional, and said, "We are friends, more than that, Brother and Sister, you are the best part of me, and I don't want to lose you, so if you die, a part of me dies too, so please fight, and stay with us", and he was sobbing openly, and Luke comforted him, and as they looked at Daisy, hoping that she will wake up, and Luke said, "My turn", and he said to Daisy, "Pretty Lady, I would love to see those eyes of yours, and your smile, cause that smile gets us through the day, and if you recover, and listen to Doc Appleby, I will do the dishes, and the laundry for 3 months", and that got a chuckle from Bo and Jesse, and Bo said laughing, "She will hold you to it, Cousin", and Jesse said laughing too, "He's right", and Luke said, "I don't care, I rather do that, and have Daisy wake up and be well", and Bo and Jesse nodded, and three men put their arms around each other's waist, and hugged each other, watched Daisy sleep, and then they made themselves comfortable fell asleep near her.

Daisy woke up a couple weeks later, but wouldn't say a word, and that was okay to the Duke Men, and Daisy had to stay in the hospital for a while, and do some therapy until it was time for her to go home. She remembers everything that happens to her, and she is emotional, and she doesn't want anyone near her, until she is ready to talk about it. Jesse and the boys were watching this happening, and it broke their hearts, and Jesse said, "Against All Odds, I bet on Daisy to beat this", and the boys left for home, and also to let Daisy get some rest.
