IS IT THE END?
Scanlon was waiting for Enos Strate at the same place where Enos arrested him last time, Pruitt's glade. That time, Scanlon used Daisy Duke as a bait, but the cop arrested him thanks to his friends and thanks to their stupid trick that distracted him. This time he didn't want to fail.
Enos was reaching the place of his appointment with Scanlon. He feared him; last time Scanlon almost killed him three times (trying to shot him whereas he was peacefully walking in town, doing his duty, then with a bomb, and at the end using Daisy as a bait). He was a merciless killer. When L.A.P.D. informed him that Scanlon escaped again from prison, he understood that man wanted his revenge, so he wasn't surprised when he received Scanlon's letter: he wanted Enos in that place, that day at 8 a.m. He couldn't call for help, 'cause Scanlon threatened him to kill his friends: he said he wasn't alone but he had some accomplices, this time, keeping an eye on his friends, ready to hit them if he had called them for help. Enos didn't know if Scanlon really had accomplices or if it was a trick, probably it was trick, but he couldn't risk to put his friends in danger.
Before to reach his appointment, he spent some time at the same lake where Daisy asked him to marry her two months before, trying to calm down and to find the strength to face Scanlon.
Not far away from him, Daisy was driving her jeep when Luke called her.
"Daisy, stop. Wait for us and don't go alone. We've called Rosco and Cooter for help, too"
"Luke, Enos is in danger. It could be too late. I have to go"
Luke looked at Bo who was driving the General, "Hurry up, Bo. She doesn't understand how much she's in danger. We have to stop her... and we have to save Enos, too"
When Daisy arrived at Pruitt's glade she saw Scanlon; he was alone, and Enos wasn't there, yet. She was glad she arrived before Enos, but when Scanlon noticed her, staring at her with a cold look, she realized she was in danger, and she regretted that Bo and Luke weren't there with her.
"Miss Daisy Duke, right?" Scanlon smiled devilishly, "Where's your dear friend Enos Strate? And don't try to lie to me"
Daisy hold her breath, freezing, then she answered, her voice trembling, trying to take her time, "I… I don't know where he's". Scanlon had a gun in his hand, andshe couldn't run away.
Scanlon came closer her, and his slap pushed her down to the ground, "Don't tease with me, little bitch. You and your friends teased me last time, but now you won't stop me. I told that cop I will kill you and the others if he tries any trick". Then he turned from Daisy, looking around and searching for Enos's friends; when he didn't see anyone else, he stared again at Daisy, aiming his gun at her, "Are you ready to die? I'm eager to see your friend's face as he'll see you dead"
Daisy looked horrified at the gun pointed at her, like in her nightmare.
When Enos arrived, he saw Daisy on the ground, with a gun pointed at her. He felt a deep cold raising along all his spine.
"Oh my God, no. Oh my God, no", as he ran towards Daisy and Scanlon, he kept on praying in his head, "Oh my God, no"
Coming closer them, he shouted, "Stop, Scanlon. I'm here. Do you want me? I'm here, but let her go."
He stopped between Scanlon and Daisy, raising his hands: he stood in front of Scanlon, and Daisy could see his back.
Without even a word Scanlon fired.
Daisy saw his gun's flame, and Enos fell on the ground, pressing his right hand on his left shoulder and moaning in pain, as the blue of his uniform was changing in deep red on his shoulder and along his left arm.
Daisy was horrified: everything was like in her nightmare.
She screamed his name, with tears in her eyes, as she looked in shock at Scanlon staring at Enos.
"Die, officer Strate".
Daisy closed her eyes, whispering," Oh my God, no", then she heard a BANG… or two BANGS?
She faint.
When Daisy woke up she saw the ambulance's lights and many people around her (Bo, Luke, uncle Jesse, Cooter and Rosco). She saw all their pain in their eyes, but she didn't understand what they were saying 'cause a drone in her ears, she could only see their mouths moving and feel their arms around her.
She looked around searching for Enos, but she only saw a white sheet covering a motionless body.
Everything became dark, and she faint again.
