Chapter 7

Two weeks later Luke returned to the hospital to get the stitches remove, with Bo, Jud, Anna, and Lisa by his side.

"Good morning Luke, ready to have them stitches removed," said Doc Appleby.

"Yes sir, I've been ready," said Luke lying down on the hospital bed.

"Good we'll get right to it, soon as we see how well it healed," said Doc Appleby putting on hi gloves and sliding Luke's shirt up to reveal the stitches.

After Doc Appleby checked Luke over he began to remove the stitches one by one.

"Well Luke it looks like you healed up just nicely and lets prey that you don't get stabbed again," said Doc Appleby shaking Luke's hand then the others.

"Thanks Doc," said Luke trying to get of the bed only to be helped Anna, Lisa, Bo, and Jud.

Everyone headed out the door and got in to the General Lee and headed home.

"Hey, why don't we celebrate Luke's recovery by going to the Boars Nest," said Bo.

"NO," yelled everyone in unison.

"It was an idea," said Bo.

"Hey, Uncle Jesse made some of his crawdad bisque," said Luke.

"Yum," said everyone once they heard crawdad bisque.

And as sure as God made little green apples Uncle Jesse had some waiting on them.

"I take it Luke got his stitches removed," Jesse seeing everyone ran in at the same time.

"You bet," said Bo.

"Well it's a good thing I made some of that bisque."

" Oh yeah," said Jud.

"Oh Jud, when we get finished eating I want to talk to you about something," said Anna

"Okay," said Jud.

Jud and Anna ate quickly and before long they were finished eating. It was there turn to do the dishes so they decided to talk once the dishes were done. They were finally done and went outside. Jud and Anna got into Little Darling and took a long drive through Hazzard. Back at the farm Luke and Lisa managed to get away from the others also. Luke took Lisa to Hazzard Pond for a picnic, I got to tell ya Ol' Luke was smitten bad.

"This sure was a good idea Luke coming here alone, without sisters, brothers, and cousins watching our back," said Lisa

"You said it luv," said Luke brushing a kiss upon Lisa's lips.

"It sure was nice of Daisy to pack us a lunch," said Lisa breaking the kiss.

"Do you know where Jud and Anna went off to after they ate," said Luke taking out his guitar.

"No, I don't and I wish I knew."

Suddenly Luke started playing and singing.

Its amazing how you can speak right to my heart Without saying a word you can light up the dark Try as I may I could never explain What I hear when you don't say a thing The smile on your face lets me know that you need me There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me A touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall

Yeah you say it best when you say nothing at all

All day long I can hear people talking about

But when you hold me near , you drowned out the crowd

Old Mr. Webster could never defined what's being said between your heart and mine

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me

There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me

A touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall.

Yeah you say it best when you say nothing at all

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me

There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me

a touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall

Yeah you say it best when you say it best when you say nothing at all

When Luke finished Lisa was more then smitten, she was in L.O.V.E.

'I love you Luke," said Lisa

"I love you too Lisa," said Luke leaning in for a kiss, but the kiss was soon interrupted when a call came over the C.B.

"Annie Oakley calling Lost Sheep 1 ya got your ears on comeback," said Anna over the C.B.

"Lost Sheep 1 hear whats up," said Luke picking up the C.B.

"I need everyone here at the farm and all are here except you and Lisa."

"We'll be right there sis," said Luke hanging up the C.B.

"Lets pack it up Anna wants us at the farm," said Luke putting the food and dishes in the basket.

"Alright," said Lisa folding the blanket.

Luke and Lisa gathered everything and quickly put them in the basket, once everything was gathered they got into the General and headed strait for the farm. Everyone was waiting for them once they got home, to hear the news.

"About time you two showed up," said Jesse

"What's going on," said Luke taking a seat next to Bo.

"Jud and I have some good news," said Anna.

"We decided to stay here in Hazzard," said Jud

"That's great," said Luke hugging his baby brother and sister.

"How are ya'll going to do that are you going build a house or buy one in town," asked Bo

"Neither cause we're going to move a bed in ya'lls room and some twin beds in Daisy's," said Jesse

"Guess I'll let mom know you'll be moving out," said Lisa

"Too late already did, and I told her so are you," said Anna

After she had said that Lisa was more than confused.

"You're moving in too."

"Oh my gosh," screamed Lisa hugging Anna so hard that she couldn't breathe.

"Your welcome," said Anna trying to breathe.

Over the next few days everyone helped move in the new beds, sheets, and blankets till it was finally done. Anna, Lisa, and Jud stayed with the Dukes for a long time, and that friends is how two new Dukes came to live with their family and how a friend stayed with her new friends here in Hazzard County.
