Chapter 2

Jesse immediately offered Jude the use of the couch during his stay in Hazzard. He eagerly accepted, much to Daisy's happiness.

A couple hours after he arrived, Jude and the Dukes were rapidly growing concerned about Luke's whereabouts. It didn't take that long to deliver fertilizer down the street. They had even tried to raise the dark-haired Duke boy on the CB, but to no avail. It never occurred to them to call over to the Silas farm, until John did it himself.

They were still contemplating their next move when the phone rang, causing them all to jump clean out of their skin. Jesse leapt to the phone.

"Duke residence, Jesse speakin'," he greeted. "Oh hey John . . . yeah, I sent 'im hours ago . . . he never made it? Oh dear. Well thanks a lot John . . . I'll letcha know when we find 'im. Bye now."

Jesse's face paled considerably as he replaced the phone on the receiver. Bo, Daisy, and Jude looked at him in concern. However, no explanation was necessary; the one side of the conversation they heard was enough.

"Me an' Jude'll go look on Cottontail Road where he should've gone," Bo said. Jude nodded in agreement.

Bo drove the General with Jude riding shotgun, each keeping silent.

The possibility of Luke having been in a serious accident and the image of him being strewn across the road, blood spurting everywhere and limbs twisted at odd angles would not leave Bo's mind. It didn't matter how hard the man attempted to shove the thought away, it always returned. He never voiced these thoughts to the Texas Ranger next to him, but they were there. However, Jude yelled at him, pulling him out of these thoughts.

"Bo, look out!" Jude warned. Bo didn't even look; he just instinctively slid the General sideways to a stop, only inches away from Jesse's pickup. Bo jumped out of the General upon noticing that Luke was not in the truck. He quickly surveyed the area and concluded that Luke was nowhere.

"Ya think maybe he's had engine trouble an' he's walked fer help?" Jude suggested.

Bo walked to the car and turned the ignition. Sure enough, the engine ran as smooth as silk. He shook his head. "Didn't think so," he said. "He shoulda called on the CB."

They walked around in silence for a few moments before Jude noticed something on the pavement.

"Hey Bo, look at them tire marks," he said. Bo looked at the spot Jude was referring to. He immediately noticed the whirlwind of tire tracks embedded on the road. Bo instantly knew there were multiple cars involved.

"I think he might have been kidnapped," Jude said hesitantly. "It could have been Snake."

Bo jerked his head up to look at Jude, wide-eyed. "W-well, we got find 'em!"

"That's why I'm here," Jude reminded him. "I think we need ta come up with a plan. Let's get back to the farm." Bo nodded his approval.

Well, even if they don't know where ol' Luke is, we do. Let's make sure he's all right.

Luke shook his head in disbelief. "I can't believe yer usin' the same place as last time fer a hideout."

"You ever play hide 'n' seek as a kid, boy?" Snake asked. Luke nodded, so Snake continued. "Well, we're hidin', an' they're 'It.' The best place ta hide is where we did last time. It's the last place they'll look cause they think we's probably hidin' someplace else."

"Knowin' Bo, this'll be the first place they look," Luke shot back. "He used that same tactic in hide 'n' seek. Whenever I tried ta hide like this, he always found me right away. An' he always hid in the same place the whole game."

Snake sighed. "Well, when he finds us, we'll just have ta hide 'im forever, if ya know what I mean."

Luke gulped. He knew exactly what Snake meant. He also knew that wherever Bo went, he, Daisy, Uncle Jesse, Jude, Boss Hogg, everybody, wouldn't be too far behind. He figured out Snake was back for revenge.

"But don't worry, Luke," Snake said. "I actually wanted them ta find us, but I just wanted ta torture ya'll for a while cause ya couldn't find us. But if yer cousin's gonna find us right away, we can always skip that part.

"So it's a trap?" Luke asked.

Snake nodded. "That's exactly what this is. A trap."

Luke sighed, suddenly praying that Bo and the others would never find them.

Meanwhile, down at the Hazzard County Courthouse, Boss Hogg and Rosco were devising plans of their own. They knew about Snake's escape, and the poster promised a $50,000 reward for their captors.

"Now Rosco," Boss said. "You can bet them Dukes are out there tryin' ta catch Snake Harmon's gang and that reward money before we do!"

"Oooh!" Rosco exclaimed. "Shame, shame, everybody knows their name!"

Boss was grinning. "You're gonna throw all four of 'em in jail, and Cooter, too, just ta be safe. Then we'll go after Snake!"

"Oh, Boss! That's genius! We'll get 'em fer sure!" A large grin spread on Rosco's face. "Khew, khew, I love it, I love it! But how'm I gonna arrest 'em? I hardly ever catch 'em, ya know."

"We ain't gonna have to!" Boss said. He used his hand to motion for Rosco to come closer. "I already planted moonshine in the General Lee and Dixie and Cooter's truck. All we have ta do is keep blockin' roads until we divert them inta Hatchapee County an' git the word out ta that Sheriff Loomis that they's runnin' shine!"

Well, ya'll, that adds another problem to the Dukes' plate.

"Then they'll even be outta the county!" Rosco exclaimed. "But, uh, Boss, who is Snake Harmon anyhow?"

Boss Hogg looked at Rosco as if he'd grown a tree off the top of his head. "Ya mean you don't remember? That was when we tried ta beat the Dukes out of reward money along with that Texas Ranger!"

Rosco shook his head. "A Texas Ranger? Judas Priest on a pony! I don't remember nothin' about no Texas Ranger."

Ya'll remember last time Jude showed up, Sheriff Rosco was at a refresher course at the police academy in Atlanta. Instead they had Sheriff Grady Bird. I'm surprised ol' Rosco actually passed, ain't you?

"That's right, you was gone!" Boss realized. "We had temporary actin' sheriff Grady Bird here."

"Well, if you didn't remember that, he musta been like me," Rosco said.

Boss nodded and stuck a cigar in his mouth. "Yeah, ya numbskull, he was just as much of a nitwit as you are! Now go catch them Dukes!" With that, he shoved Rosco out of his office and slammed the door.

Rosco flinched as the door shut. "I'll nit yer wit, ya big fat marshmallow!" he said, raising a fist to the door. "But I'm gone."

Bo felt lost. He barely paid any attention as Uncle Jesse relayed his plan. All Bo could think about was how it was usually Luke who came up with these plans. Luke was good in these situations. Luke had saved them all countless times with his infamous plans.

Now they had to return the favor, and Bo didn't know what to do. Everyone else seemed to be able to handle the situation, but why couldn't he? He was scared, and his best friend in the whole world wasn't there to make him feel better.

Bo, I wouldn't worry 'bout Luke. He's probably comin' up with one a them plans right now. Ya'll stick around.
