Disclaimer: I don't own Dukes... :'(


The police sirens pierced the late afternoon air. Anna pulled herself out from underneath the pick-up she was changing oil in just in time to see the Sheriff's patrol car come screeching to a halt in front of the garage. Luke leaned down from where he was tinkering with the oil filter and helped her to her feet. His face was cold and stoic as Rosco casually walked into the building.

"Shame, shame, everybody knows your name!" scolded Rosco as he wagged his finger in Luke's direction.

"What do you want Rosco?" Luke asked as he let out a defeated sigh.

"What now? Khee khee! Don't you try to pull a fast one on me Luke Duke!"

Luke dropped his head forward and ran a hand through his dark hair. "I ain't trying to pull a fast one Rosco," Luke replied as he lifted his head back up, "I'm just trying to understand what you want."

"What I want! I want you to come with me to the jailhouse, that's what!" Rosco blabbered from the door.

"Why Sheriff? What did Luke do? He's been here with us all day!" Anna cut in.

"Well, now, umm," Anna closed her eyes and prayed that Rosco wouldn't blow her cover. "Lady, Luke robbed Boss Hogg's bank. Are you sayin' that you were an accomplice? Khee!"

"Rosco, give your head a shake! We ain't even been anywhere near—" Luke argued as Rosco pulled out his handcuffs.

"Save it Luke, now get 'em up." The giggling sheriff exclaimed as he pulled his gun on the pair.

Luke looked at Anna, annoyance and anger in his eyes. With a shrug of his shoulders he stepped forward away from her and towards the sheriff. "Hey Anna," Luke looked over his back, "Wanna call Bo and Uncle Jesse and Daisy and tell them Rosco here's going on a power trip?" Anna nodded.

"Well now there's no use in that lady!" Rosco snapped. Luke frowned at the sheriff.

"Why not?" Anna demanded.

"Cause Enos' got Bo locked up and Jesse and Daisy are already over to the jailhouse." Rosco grinned at his ingenuity.

"What!" Luke exclaimed. Then he was gone, running across the street to the courthouse, Anna hot on his heels. Rosco stood dumbfounded for a second before shuffling after them.

Cooter stumbled out from the store room with a case of oil to find his garage suddenly void of people and up one sheriff's car.


Luke busted through the swinging doors into the booking room. Bo looked at him from where he stood in front of the booking desk, still cuffed. Must've just got into town. Luke walked over to the booking desk to confront the scared looking deputy.

"What's with this Enos?" Luke asked leaning on the desk, staring into the deputies soul.

Anna stepped up beside Daisy, "What's going on here, Daisy?" she whispered.

"Rosco and Boss are framing Bo and Luke for robbing the bank." Daisy answered quickly, watching the confrontation between her cousin and Enos.

"Now, now, now, Luke." That was Rosco who finally made his way to the booking room. Anna wondered how he was able to catch crooks if he ran that slow. "You know what y'all done so you just hush."

"Rosco." Luke turned slowly and leveled the sheriff a glare that would kill if it could.

"I'm tellin' y'all, I don't know how that money got in the General!" Bo put in before his cousin could kill the sheriff.

"Money?" Luke, thrown off base, turned to look at his younger cousin in confusion. "What money?"

"I don't know! Rosco and Enos pulled me over and Rosco found a whole bunch of cash in the glove box!" Bo explained quickly.

"When was this?" Luke asked, doing math in his head.

"Shortly after I met y'all at the Boars Nest for lunch."

"You didn't leave the General after that?" Luke quizzed.

"Nope."

Luke looked back to the sheriff, then the deputy, squinting and biting the inside of his cheek. Trying to figure the scam and where this was going.

"Alright you Duke boys," Rosco intervened, "Enos go open that cell." Enos nodded and rushed downstairs. "Y'all know the way." Rosco nodded pointedly.

"Are ya gonna undo my handcuffs?" Bo complained, shrugging his shoulders to convey his point.

"No, no, no, I remember last time I did that. Now git!" The sheriff gave the boys a bit of a shove for motivation. Luke rolled his eyes and began walking towards the cell block, Bo and Rosco shuffling behind.

After they had disappeared down the stairs, Daisy turned to her Uncle Jesse and rested her head on his shoulder. "What are we gonna do Uncle Jesse?"

"We're gonna have to figure out what J.D. and Rosco are up to and try to clear the boys from there." he replied.

Annabelle let out a sigh and crossed her arms over her chest. The booking room had the distinct smell of dog. Dog and leather. Both smells she didn't think really belonged in a police booking room. She took a small step backwards to get more comfortable on her feet and feint concern for the boys who had just been framed. Framed. She looked out the window to the street, where a car was driving by. That was it. "Hey, do y'all know where Bo and Enos left the General Lee?"

"Yeah, up on Old Mill Road. Why Anna?" Jesse responded.

"I got an idea." Anna responded as she turned to go out the door. She'd get Bo to trust her just yet.
