The social worker came and took me to my house where I packed my things and called my grandmother asking her if she knew and to not do a thing about it. We left the house and got something to eat, that's where I popped the question.
"So who are my real parents?"
"Your real parents are Luke Duke and Cindy Mea Duke," she answered
"Where do they live," I asked
"Your father lives in Hazzard, Georgia and your mother left two days after you were born," she said
"After I was kidnapped?"
"No you were taken when you were a week old; she left two days after your birth."
" Oh okay."
We didn't say much to each other if we did it was either to change the station on the radio or to turn off the fan. Later when we did enter Georgia, I guess we was five minutes away cause the social worker took out a CB and put it on her radio. Next thing I knew she was talking on it and a man answered on the other line.
"Breaker, Breaker this is Mrs. Efron calling all Dukes," she said
"Well howdy Mrs. Efron the Dukes is in Chickasaw County, but you have Cooter Davenport here; I'm a friend of theirs," he said
"Mr. Davenport I have Carrie Duke with me right now and I was wondering if you could help us," said Mrs. Efron
" Sure where are you now," asked Cooter
Just then smoke shot up out of the hood and Mrs. Efron came to a screeching halt. I got out and opened the hood.
" Tell him to bring a tow truck with him the dang radiator is busted.
"Well Mr. Davenport we're art the County Line, but can you call a tow truck to pick us up," she asked.
"Be there in a minute."
It seemed like forever waiting on Cooter, but when he got there I was relieved. He took us to his garage and fixed our car, but insisted that we stay and he'll take us to the Dukes. There I tried to find something to do while Mrs. Efron went to the deli to get us something to eat. I was starting to get bored when I heard Cooter cuss under his breath.
"Mr. Davenport," I said in shock
"Sorry Carrie, and please call me Cooter after all you are Luke Duke's baby girl." He said then spoke again, " can you pass me the wrench."
I handed it to him then spoke.
"What's my daddy like?"
"Well he has hair like yours and was in the military," he said
"No way."
"It's true."
We talked for hours it seemed about my daddy and cars. Then all of a sudden…
"Lost sheep to Shepard, Lost sheep to Shepard, you got your ears on comeback."
"Carrie, darling, come here," said Cooter
"What is it," I asked.
"Wanna here your daddy's voice," he asked
"I would want nothing more," I said
Then he spoke.
"Crazy Cooter coming atcha let me speak to Luke, Bo," he said
"You got Luke here what's up Crazy C."
I could not believe it there talking on the CB was my daddy. Tears formed in my eyes as Cooter asked what kind of trouble they was in. TROUBLE.
"No trouble Cooter just wanted to know if Uncle Jesse wanted us to pick up anything for him."
"No you just get over here right now ya nearly gave me a heart attack," said the man I guessed to be Uncle Jesse.
"10-4."
That was it, then I heard the sentence that I was waiting to be heard.
"Come on Carrie, lets go to the farm."
