Roscoooo P. Coltrane
3/24/00 11:23am
Just wanted to warn you, MaryAnne. Our no account cousin, Brian Coltrane,
has been spotted in Hazzard. Now, I don't know what he's up to this
time, but I can assure you it's no good. Be careful. Please report
in every hour on the hour when you're out on patrol. You know how I
worry about you. =)
That slimy, low-life cousin of ours better not show his face around
here again or so help me I'll put him UNDER the jail!

That's a big ten-four, Rosco. =) I thought I had seen his car, but wasn't sure. Whatever he's up to, he better reconsider...for his own safety. (LOL)
You put him under the jail, cousin, I'll be right there beside ya with a shovel and cement. Khee khee!!
I'm gone...

Wanted: Brian Coltrane
MaryAnne Coltrane
3/24/00 7:21 am
Wanted for breaking every damn law in the book, and for lacking any
good sense. Tends to shoot his mouth off a lot, which in turn is getting
him into more and more trouble. Has no authority to post about any
positions (available or not) within the Hazzard County Sheriff's Department.
Last seen wearing a black leather jacket with a hole in the shoulder
(that's both the jacket AND his shoulder, folks, courtesy of Sheriff
Rosco) and driving a black as yet unnamed model Chevy.
There is a reward. Bounty hunters are encouraged to participate in the apprehension of this varmint. No questions asked...
Muhahahahahahahahaha!!!!

Hey, y'all it's your favorite (and only female) Hazzard County Mountie here. The HCSD is looking for a few good deputies. For all y'all who heard Rosco's radio transmission, you know I don't need to say that we need some help. All interested candidates should apply at the HCSD Club.

Bri really ain't as bad as you guys make him seem. Yes he can be loud mouthed. Yes he does have a very criminal past and yes he can be nasty. But under all that, on the rare occasion he can be nice, if you look hard enough to find that one spark of human decency ... it is there, buried deep.
Someone who knows Brian well.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MaryAnne Coltrane
3/24/00 8:43 pm
I'll admit that that spark of human decency does exist for Bri...but unfortunately the spark that comes from a bullet leaving a gun barrel tends to come easier for him than anything else.
MaryAnne

3/24/00 8:54 pm
That is true. He is always quick to use that gun. Though that black leather jacket of his is also filled with many hidden weapons some possibly more dangerous then the gun. Kinda like his personality but is worthy of admiration.

In Brian's Defense
Agent Lee S.
3/24/00 8:50 pm
I have been chasing Brian for years now, as a federal agent, however in chasing him I have developed a great respect for him, and he really isn't as bad as he first appears, he does have some sense of decency. Actually I've tried on more than one occasion to recruit him and get him to put his exceptional talent to use on the side of truth and justice.
In defense of a worthy adversary,
Lee S.

Hmmm... that would be cute. Bri in a Fed uniform! ROFL!! The day Bri

Boston Red Sox win the freakin' world series!!

An offer to MaryAnne
Brian Coltrane
3/26/00 4:46 pm
Deputy, listen to reason. Why get this little town destroyed, and risk
your hide, when you could join us? Take off that badge, cousin, and
join the Syndicate. Rosco's practically a charter member already. Don't
turn to slow corruption like the Sheriff did. Embrace it with open
arms and reap the benefits. Think about it carefully, MaryAnne...I
won't make this offer again. Brian Coltrane

MaryAnne Coltrane
3/26/00 4:53 pm
Your offer has been DECLINED!!! I will never become the likes of you. Rosco is NOT IN ANY WAY LIKE ANY OF YOU. He doesn't KILL PEOPLE. Rosco, you're not gonna let Brian talk that kinda trash are you???? The only benefit in your line of work is guarantee of an early retirement and not one you can enjoy....

For those of you who have joined our program in progress. What you are reading is an advertisement of sorts for an upcoming fanfic, in which Brian Coltrane comes to Hazzard and...well...basically makes everybody's lives miserable. ROFL. Especially for the Dukes, Rosco and MaryAnne. In a sense, this is kind of like a role playing game, seeing as many of you have joined with us (or against us LOL) as either characters you've created in fanfic or as characters on the show. To catch up, many of you should probably go back to the message titled "To MaryAnne" written by roscoooo_p_coltrane. That's where it all starts folks. Plus, there is action going on over at the HCSD club as well. You don't necessarily have to take part in this, you can just read. I promise that we will try not to let this drag on TOO LONG as I'm sure many of you will probably want to get back to the REGULAR programming. ROFL.

Hi there,
Not many have heard of me as of yet, because I have just entered Hazzard
to meet my half brother, Bo, but I'd rather just call him my brother,
and to see my two cousins. So I am Kristy Duke I hear you all have
some sort of a war going on. To let all of you know I am willing and
able to help out any Dukes even if they are parting with one Rosco
P. Coltrane for a change. I guess his cousin has helped out there,
MaryAnne. So just say my name and I will be there to help you with
whatever you need help with. OK?

Hi
Once again, some of you or many of you may not know of me as of yet.
Well you better stay tuned for you will be hearing from me a lot more,
now that I have entered Hazzard to meet my long lost brother, Bo, ok
he is only my half brother, but I'd rather just call him my brother.
I am also here to meet my cousin and best friend since childhood, Daisy
Duke. My name is Kristy Duke, or Kristy Alex Duke.
I hear there is some sort of a war going on. If you were to ask which side I am on, I'd say I'm on my brothers and my cousin's side as well as that Rosco P. Coltrane and his cousin, MaryAnne. So Maryanne, Rosco, and CJ if you need any help I am willing and able to fight that Brian Coltrane any day. So just give me a holler and I will be there to help y'all out as much as possible.

First, I apologize for the crisis. Not a thing to have to tend with when first coming to a place. But all the help we can get, we surely appreciate. Don't listen to a word that no good Brian Coltrane says. He will soon see the mistake he's made by coming here...
At least one of Bo's siblings has some SENSE to join with us, instead of with that skunk. :)

That's a big ten-four, Kristy! Welcome to Hazzard, I only wish we weren't in a crisis at the moment. When we all get through it tho', you'll find Hazzard to be a great place to live. This crisis alone shows that we all band together to fight a common enemy (well, SOME of us join together). I'm afraid that Bo's other sibling has turned on us.
However, that is a small detail. Brian Coltrane will soon see he's made a mistake by coming here...

Well MaryAnne, I see what you say about coming in at a bad time and all. I hate to see all this violence going on in such a small peaceful town such as this. I once lived here, before my mom passed away and then moved in with my dad in Atlanta. I have had enough fights with my old job in Atlanta where I was working with Social Service with inner city children with troubled lives. So I should be able to help you and everyone else on our side to catch Brian and all his side, even if my other sibling did join his side. She must've forgotten what mama always taught us before the so-called-accident happened: that is: to be kind to others and to do to others of what you would want to be done to you and that violence is never good. Maybe we all should go give her a talkin' too so she'll remember. Tell me what I can do to help everyone out that I can. So tell me what to do and I will do it.

Oh yeah if I think of any ideas along the way I'll dish 'em out to see what y'all think (see what my cousins got me doing, talking like them now)

country_cousin_01
3/27/00 9:36pm
Hi MaryAnne and the rest of the side,
I see what you are saying MaryAnne about me coming in at the wrong time.
I hate to see this happening to a nice peaceful town such as Hazzard.
I once lived here before my mother died in a so called accident. But
anyhow, since then I lived in Atlanta with my dad, my step mother,
and my two other half brothers, which are more like brothers to me.
Therefore I have worked with the Social Service to help inner city
kids with trouble souls and to place them in rightful homes. So if
I can deal with troubled teens, I should come in handy when coming
to Brian and his distasteful team, even if my so-called-sibling joined
them. Just think of what mama would be saying.
So just tell me what I can do to help.
Over and out

So let me know if you want my help and what I can do to help you and
Min.

Awright, listen up ya'll. Min, Black Sheep, Scarecrow - I'm glad to have you all on board. Min, you're doin' great. Now keep an eye out for Boss and any sneaky Dukes. Black Sheep, you have an appetite for mayhem that I'm sure we can satisfy here. But in the meantime, just keep your eye on the law. Scarecrow, the rest of the town is your job. Nobody makes a move in this county without me knowin' it.
In other business, we've got a new face in town asking to join us. Goes by Daney. I want you three to check out her background. I'm concerned that she could be part of the law, tryin' to infiltrate the Syndicate. It's just the kind of trick that MaryAnne would have somebody pull.
One last thing...don't leave the hideout unarmed. This is a small town, but it's riled up. Things are gettin' dangerous. Now, Rosco couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with a civil war cannon, so he's not a problem. But if you're wonderin' how I got this wounded shoulder, it's only because I was directly in front of his gun at the time. Yeah, lucky shot. Anyway, watch out for MaryAnne. She's a decent sharpshooter. Fortunately, she's got this good-guy mentality that holds her back. I, however, have no such handicap. *evil KHEE*
That's all for now. You have your orders. See to them, and report back at the hideout.

This is not a trick of that cousin of yours.

This town isn't big enough for 5 Duke girls. I say we not only to get rid of Rosco Boss MaryAnne Enos but all of them cousins of mine as well, all of them.

As for watching the rest of the town there's really only one person I'm worried about...that no good trouble makin' friend of the Duke's named Davenport...I think that if he gets wind of this he could be real trouble...And I'm keeping my eye on the rest of 'em for ya. It's always the peaceful seeming towns where trouble lies.

Daney, you've made a mistake girl. I can't believe you would turn on your kin. If this is how you want it, fine. You'll be the one to live with the consequences...if Brian allows you to live.
*It's just the kind of trick MaryAnne would have somebody pull* Oh, so you think you have me all figured out huh, Brian? However, your cognitive mentality does not allow you to think on the same level as me (whether you consider it to be above or below me, that doesn't matter).

Hey y'all,
It is the truth, I have decided to join up with the bad guys. Min didn't have to do a lot of pressing to get me to see things her way. Sorry if no one can deal with it but I thought it was about time I did something on my own without the approval or disapproval of Uncle Jesse, Luke, or Daisy. I am a grown man and can do things without their permission. Sorry if no one likes it but y'all are just gonna have to deal with it because Bo Duke is finally doing what he wants in Hazzard.

Please say this isn't happening! NO! Bo will have to join the right side once he knows how violent an awful that Brian is. Or once Uncle Jesse talks some sense into him. What all did you do to convince him to go to your side, Min? Seeing on what side you are on you probably kidnapped him and drugged him and forced him to join.
Someone please wake me up from this awful nightmare to tell me this is not so. Bo would never do such a thing. We all got to help him to make the right decision.

My little brother would never do such a thing. Though I don't know all about him as of yet, I know Uncle Jesse has brought him up with better values than that. So you better think again if you really think that he is on your side. So let my brother, our brother go Min. You know better than to do that. Oh and Min, I am never returning to Atlanta, even though there is this huge mess going on I believe once that this all dies down, with you and Brian being the sore loosers of the deal, I will learn to really enjoy the open land instead of all the buildings and heavy traffic. So you better get used to me now or you'll be paying back later.

It's time you and I had a heart to heart talk. You may have misunderstood how things work in the Syndicate. Ya see, I get edgy whenever somebody gets too ambitious. And you, my aspiring young criminal, are makin' me edgy.
You kidnapped one Duke, and then let him go on my order. But now you've supposedly recruited another. It's too risky. I've been gettin' heat from the law, and as of this moment, everyone is under suspicion. Them Dukes have worked for the Feds before. Bo goes. This is for your safety, Min, as well as the safety of the entire Syndicate.

misunderstandin' between us, Min. Consider this a friendly reminder

Okay, so I'm gone for a few days and the world falls apart on me! Now, I don't have a character of my own to play, so I'm not sure how to call myself... but I'm definitely rooting for MaryAnne and the Dukes! Minus Bo and Min. I still can't believe this is happening... how could Min, who's always had such a strong sense of right and wrong, choose the wrong? And Bo, how in the world could you turn your back on Luke? You boys are nearly as close as you and Min are!
Obviously something's wrong here, ya'll….. This ain’t normal for the Dukes.

Oh and Daney I wouldn't cause I can shoot pretty well with my bow and
arrows half Duke or not. Just ask Bo and Luke Duke. Also Brian you
better let Great Aunt Lulu go you hear? CJ Duke

NO BO please NO! I admit that I ain't the best little cousin you wanted or the perfect one because I'm half Duke and half Hogg.
However I will respect your wishes if you don't want me around anymore
especially since I'm the pest Duke cousin and do what I have to do
to make sure never to bother you again. (cries forming) I just hope
that Luke will take care of Rebel and Roy as well after I'm gone. Good-bye

This has gotten way out of hand. Brian, I don't like violence. I love this town and its people and I don't wanna see them hurt. It's obvious you have us outnumbered and you're more willin' to use force and violence than we are. (Sorry, MaryAnne. You put up a brave front, sweetheart, but you know as well as I that we just don't have it in us.)
I'm willing to make a deal with you Brian. If you let Lulu go unharmed and no one else gets hurt...you can have me... *sigh*... and the town. All I ask is that you let me keep my job as sheriff and give me a small cut of the take.
I'm sorry, y'all. I wish things were different, but they aren't. This is the only way I know how to avoid any bloodshed. Some of you may hate me for this decision, but I'd rather live with that than any further violence.
Meet me at Possum Holler to seal the deal.

Brian,
Well you know Min. There's Bo and Luke and Daisy. Then there's that new half sister of Bo's from Atlanta, Kristy. We use to have cousins named Coy and Vance, but no one has seen them or heard from them in years nor has any one heard from Luke's half brother Judd since he only came to visit that one time.
Then there is Jeb who has a sister Dixie but he hasn't been seen in years either who lives over in Placid County, he's CJ and Roy's uncle since he was the younger brother of CJ's dad Jack and Roy's dad James who were killed when CJ and Roy was 6. Which brings me to the last of the cousins, Roy Beauregard and Cindy Janice Lukas ( CJ also has a twin brother Dusty who has been missing for years).
Cindy(CJ) is the one to watch out for. She looks up to Luke and counts
on him for everything. It's sickening how everything has to revolve
around her and Luke. Need any more info? Daney

Oh, no, Rosco, please don't say you're giving up this fight! I'm sorry
if I went a little too far; I guess Bo ain't the only Duke with a temper.
Especially when my family is in trouble. I'll promise I'll only work
under your order from now on, if that's what you want. I'll even be
open about who I am if you ask it. Just don't give up on Hazzard now...
this is our home and I sure as heck ain't giving up on it anytime soon.
We've won battles by trickery before without having to resort to true
violence, against enemies every bit as dangerous as Brian. We can do
it again. I just wish I knew which of my kinfolk to trust. This is
tearing me apart inside, being on opposite sides. Please come home,
Bo. Please.

in, they ain't gunna let Boss pull his schemes no more and I can't
live off the piddly little salary he pays me.

I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me someday.

And Bo James Duke, would you get your tail over here and talk to me, please? At least TALK to me!! I don't even know where you are and it's driving me crazy! I swear I ain't angry at you; now, c'mere. :)
And CJ... don't get yourself killed. Please, little cousin. It ain't worth dying over. Nothing's worth dying over. There are other ways to win a fight.
I'm waiting for a reply from you, MaryAnne. You want this almost-vigilante on your team? I'm sorry about that; when I get really mad... well anyway. Until then, I'm still hiding out.

I will still serve as county mayor, but within the NORMAL laws of justice. No more speed traps! I also am using this podium to fire Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane for abandoning us in our time of need. I hearby swear in Enos Strate as the new sheriff of Hazzard County. I humbly wish to apologize for all I have done in the past and hereby cancel all mortgages on houses which means all homeowners own 100% of their land. The Hazzard Bank will still be there for loans, but with minimal interest fees! And to the Duke family, the charge book against y'all has been destroyed and your probation discontinued.

I'm glad you're heart's in the right place, Boss. It gives me a good feelin', just knowin' the positive impact I've had on Hazzard already. And once the Syndicate has completed its takeover, things will be even better.
Oh, but there's just one little detail. If you replace Rosco as Sheriff...you're gonna have to replace the entire police department. Not to mention your wife. Ya see, the Syndicate cooperates with the law...as long as it's the law that cooperates with us. And for now, that means we want Rosco as Sheriff.
I've shown alot of restraint with Hazzard, since y'all are just simple country folk. But my patience is nearing an end...and so are you, Boss.

I'm gonna meet with Rosco to formalize our takeover of Hazzard. He's showin' up unarmed. I'm showin' up armed to the teeth. I might trust the Sheriff, but I sure as heck don't trust the rest of this town. Now in the meantime, y'all have to stay sharp. Min, Black Sheep, try not to kill each other while I'm gone. Save it for somebody wearin' a badge. If Boss goes through with replacing Rosco as Sheriff...exterminate whoever gets the promotion. I don't care how you do it.
Scarecrow, keep an eye on the hostage. If Rosco's good to his word, we'll release Lulu Hogg. She was just a ploy from the beginning, and she's no use to us anymore. If we're doublecrossed, or this town makes trouble...then dispose of her.
Daney, welcome to the Syndicate. You're in, kid. Your job is to destroy Boss's Cadillac. While it's empty. This is just a warning for 'em. It's the only one he'll get.
*takes a moment to look at gang* Most of you are new to organized crime. But you've all performed like true criminals, and I couldn't be more proud. *gets misty eyed, enjoys a tender moment, and gets back to business*
Now that Hazzard is about to become a permanent base of operation for the Syndicate...you four are in line for promotion. Keep following directions, and you'll be crimelords in no time.
*loads gun, spins barrel. puts weapon inside inner pocket of leather

Bo, are you with us? Or with Min? I'm still not sure, though you know I'll still love ya no matter what. :) But I do need to know whether or not to pick you up. I do have the General, after all. C'mon, cousin, let's do this together, the way we always have. Maybe we can still save Min, somehow. I know you love her, she's your sister, but don't let that come between us. We have a bond by blood, the strongest there is. (Fingers the scar on his hand where they became blood-brothers absently, then straightens and narrows his eyes.

CJ, listen to MaryAnne... we do care, and we would have responded to the CB message, except that I suspected it was a trap. Daney ain't dead!

Dammit... Bo? Luke? Go find CJ for crying out loud. I need all the help I can get!!
That's a big ten four Kristy! See ya at the courthouse.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Later that afternoon…
Rosco P. Coltrane
3/31/00 8:14pm
*Rosco pulls up to the deserted Boar's Nest. The only car in the parking lot is MaryAnne's patrol car. Walks into the back office and hugs MaryAnne*
Rosco: "How you holdin' up, kiddo?"
MaryAnne: "I'm alright. You got me all misty on the radio there tho'. I'll be glad when this is all over with!"
Rosco: "Me too. It's just a matter of hours now. You have everything ready in town?"
MaryAnne: "All set. Everyone's at the courthouse waiting for the word."
Rosco: "Good. Things are all set at Possum Holler too. Now remember, I want you and your team of deputies to make sure the townsfolk are out of harm's way while we spring the trap. Be sure to brief them at the courthouse."
MaryAnne: "Will do, Sheriff." *gives a smile and sharp salute to her cousin.* "Now you be careful, ya hear?"
Rosco:*smiles back and returns the salute* "I will, sweetheart. Don't do nothin' heroic. That's what the reinforcements are for. You take care of yourself." *hugs MaryAnne tightly* "Oh, and MaryAnne... about what I said about taking care of Flash and Lulu?" *pauses* "I certainly hope you don't have to live up to that promise."
MaryAnne: "I don't believe I will, Rosco. We'll be allright...*hesitates* um, and I apologize for anything I said that was...uhh, somewhat hurtful. You know I was just playin' it up. You're certainly not a damn fool. Khee!"
Rosco: "Khee! Well, that depends on if I make it back ok, now doesn't it? It's almost time to meet Brian. I gotta git. Good luck!"
MaryAnne: "Good luck, cousin! See ya soon."
Meanwhile, back in town… MaryAnne Coltrane 3/31/00 9:29pm
*MaryAnne's patrol car pulls up to the curb and the deputy jumps out,
runs up the steps*
*looks around at Daisy, Jesse, Cooter, Bo, Roy, Kristy, Flash, Bandit, Boss...(LOL..man, gotta enough folks here! LOL) Awright, everyone here's what what's goin down...wait a minute, Where's Luke?
Daisy: "He went lookin' for CJ, MaryAnne."
MaryAnne: "Well they both better hurry up and get back here. We've got everything happening now. Rosco called the State Patrol and we've got more roadblocks than you can shake a stick at. The FBI's backing up Rosco at Possum Holler. Now the State Patrol and me, Rosco, Enos, and Cletus will handle the official stuff such as arrestin' and all that. Y'all are welcome to taunt the crooks and assist us in apprehension but DO NOT try to get them yourselves!"
*hears commotion on the CB. Goes over to the radio set on the booking desk and listens*
"Lulu's safe, Boss!!
Alright everyone...let's get a move on and keep your CB's tuned!"
MaryAnne
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In Possum Holler…
Rosco P. Coltrane
3/31/00 10:40pm
*Rosco pulls his patrol car slowly down into dimly lit Possum Holler.
He sees the faint outline of Brian's black Chevy through the thick
grove of trees. He carefully loads the shotgun on the seat next to
him and then rechecks the ammo in his revolver. He places the revolver
back in its holster behind his back. He picks up his hat from the dash,
places it on his head, and opens the car door. Still standing behind
the door he calls out to Brian.*
Rosco: "I see you're early. Guess you wanna get this over with
as much as I do."
*Brian was leaning casually against the front fender of the Chevy, with
his arms folded. One hand was tucked inside his jacket.*
Brian: "You could say that."
Rosco: "Why don't you come out here where I can see your ugly face?"
Brian: "If it's ugly, it's onconna the Coltrane half of my genes," Brian shot back. "Why don't you come over here, and convince me that you're on my side?"
Rosco: "We'll both step out.. on the count of three. Arms raised."
*Brian didn't like it.*
Brian: "And why should I raise my arms? We agreed to come here
without weapons."
Rosco: "Well, then. If you're not carrying, then you should have no objections. I gotta see if I can trust you before I start workin' for you. Trust is important in a business relationship."
Brian: "Not this one."
*Rosco hesitated, not sure how to handle the situation. He lowered his head in thought. A few moments later, he raised it.*
Rosco: "How's Lulu?"
Brian: "Hungry. We're givin' her three bags a groceries a day as rations, and she's chewing on the walls."
*Rosco chuckled. Then he turned serious.*
Rosco: "Look, if you let her go, I'll take that as a sign of good faith and I'll step out. Enos and Cletus are stationed 2 miles north of your base. Have one of your cronies drop her off there and as soon as I hear from Enos on the cb, I'm all yours."
*Brian studied Rosco a moment then agreed*
Brian: "Awright. I can't afford to keep 'er at this rate anyhow."
*Brian kept an eye on Rosco and reached in the Chevy for the CB.* "Scarecrow,
release Mrs. Hogg, two miles north of our command center. The Sheriff's
cooperatin'." *Brian hung up the CB, knowing he'd be obeyed with
out question.*
*Rosco smiled, knowing it was a matter of minutes until his sister would be free and the first trap would be sprung on the one called Scarecrow.*
*Rosco and Brian engaged in a little chit chat, mostly consisting of insults and idle threats until Enos came on the cb informing the sheriff that his sister was safe.*
Rosco: "Alright, Brian. I accept your gesture of good faith. But there's one more thing I'd like you to do for me. Come out with your hands up."
*Rosco reached behind his back and firmly grasped his revolver.*
Rosco: "Oh, and one more thing... touch that cb again, and you're dead."
*Brian's dark eyes went cold, and he stared menacingly at the Sheriff*
"You take me down, and the Syndicate will pay you back with compound interest. Don't be stupid."
*Brian's hand moved fractionally inside his jacket*
(continued 3/31/00 10:43pm)
Rosco: "You honestly think they have any loyalty to you? They'd
kill you themselves in a New York minute if you stepped out of line
just once. Who's to say word won't slip out how you squealed on some
of their finest hit men. The
FBI has files on some of your boys with sensitive information I'm sure
the Syndicate doesn't know they have. Don't they, Special Agent Maxwell?"
Agent Maxwell (uncomfortably close to Brian): "Damn straight!"
Rosco: "I bet they could make it look like you copped a plea to save your own neck.. a little information for a shorter sentence."
*Brian jumped at the sound of a voice behind him. He glared at Rosco with undisguised malice.*
Brian: "I see that your word is worth as much as your badge...Sheriff."
*Brian kept his hand inside his jacket*
Brian: "And I was tryin' to avoid bloodshed."
Rosco: "And I see yours is too. You'd better bring your hand out of your jacket real slowlike WITHOUT your weapon, or my friends here will have no qualms about splattering you all over your Chevy for attempting to murder a county sheriff. Boys, maybe you should count off, just so he knows what he's up against. Might help him come to a decision faster."
*Rosco smirked knowing he had the upper hand now.*
*Agent Maxwell called off each of the agents and officers under his command by name. As their name was called, each man fired a volley of bullets into the air away from Possum Holler.*
*Rosco continued.*
Rosco: "You should be impressed we thought you were worth this much manpower."
*Brian flinched as each shot echoed into the hills, but he held his ground and his stance*
Brian: "I'm impressed, all right. Flattered, as a matter of fact." *Brian's eyes narrowed and he took a deep breath* "How 'bout it, Sheriff? Want the honor?" *Brian took two bold steps forward, hand still on his concealed weapon.* "Go ahead. Be a hero. Shoot your own kin."
*Rosco stepped back, pulled his revolver out of his holster, rested his hands on the top of the patrol car door, and drew a bead on Brian.*
Rosco: "You don't dare want to call my bluff, boy. I certainly don't want to shoot you, but after what you did to MaryAnne, I won't spend much time grieving over you if I have to. I don't think you want it to end this way, Brian."
*Brian pulled his hand out of his pocket without drawing his gun. He walked towards Rosco with his arms open, though not raised.*
Brian: "I don't think you do, either. You had no business bringin' in the Feds, Sheriff. I would have worked with ya."
*Rosco's face grew red with anger.*
Rosco: "Oh I didn't, did I? Did you honestly think I'd work with you after you nearly killed my cousin, kidnapped my sister, and tore this town apart?!" *Rosco gritted his teeth and growled* "I'd rather die first."
Brian: "Sure. But would you kill first?" *Brian stood directly in point-blank range.*
Rosco: "Don't tempt me."
*Rosco drew back the hammer on his revolver. The other men cocked their weapons as well and the sound echoed through the hollow.*
*At the sound of the hammers clicking around him, Brian's expression became resigned.*
Brian: "You're a better Sheriff than I thought, cousin." *Brian's
hand started to make a gradual stray back to his jacket.*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Intermission
MeadowMufn
3/31/00 10:49pm
<And we pause for a brief intermission. Brian and Rosco are takin'
a break as they figure out how to resolve this thing. They'll resume
in just a little bit. *cheesy elevator music begins playing*>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In Possum Holler (yet again)
Rosco P. Coltrane
3/31/00 10:57pm
Rosco: "Hold it, Brian! Keep that hand right where it is!"
*Rosco adjusted his grip on his revolver.*
*Brian freezes*
Brian: "I'll make you a deal. Drop me off over the county line."
*Rosco shook his head.*
Rosco: "No deal. You're not going free."
*Brian saw the resolve in Rosco's eyes and made a hard decision. He slowly moved his hand away from his jacket, and raised his arms halfway.*
Brian: "You're lucky I don't want to hurt you, Sheriff."
Rosco: "You're lucky I don't want to hurt you either. That's the best decision you've made all week."
*Rosco's shoulders slumped as he sighed in relief, uncocked the hammer on his gun, and lowered the weapon. Agent Maxwell quickly came up behind Brian and locked his hands behind his head as other agents checked him for weapons. He then moved Brian's hands behind his back and cuffed him. Rosco landed in the driver's side seat with a heavy thud as his legs became jello beneath him. After collecting his thoughts for a moment, he radioed MaryAnne the message they had agreed upon beforehand to notify her of Brian's arrest without tipping off the other members of the gang.*
Rosco: "Songbird, this is Bear. The skunk is in the trunk. I repeat,
the skunk is in the trunk."

Re: Meanwhile, back in town
Daney Duke
4/1/00 12:49am
Daney seen all the cars outside the HCSD and that there is no one to
stop her since everyone is inside. She pulls the bow up and aims for
Boss's caddy. She looks at the bow * says quietly to herself “There's
no going back now.” *, she looked around one more time before
she pulled back on the bow.

Private Room Identity
*Chase screeches through the streets in Monty, and pulls to a stop between the caddy and Daney's readied arrow*
Not so fast, Daney!! You didn't really think you could get away with it that easy, did you?
*She grabs Monty's cb mike. 'Songbird, Lost Sheep, anyone out there.
You may want to get your selves out front of the sheriff’s station,
stat. I've found Daney, and the situation ain't pretty.’ *

County Cousin 2
Roy muttered" Dang it" as he heard Chase's message and ran from Cooter's where he was trying to get a loaner to go look for CJ to where Daney and Chase were. He shook his head as he walked up as the others pulled up around them. He said quietly" Chase, please. Let her go, it's more important right now to go find CJ. If my cousin were in her right mind she'd see that too. "
He turned to his older cousin and pleaded as she glared at all of them
"Daney, please don't do this, drop the bow and come home."
Then looked over to Mary Anne and the others as he sighed, "Right
y'all, Mary Anne you won't really let them take her and Min away if
they came home. We're friends and family after all!"

That's right. We won't let the cops take any Duke away. Just come home. C'mon, Daney...

No CJ is not dead nor will she be dead. Just because what I said in the
one message over at HCSD doesn't mean that she is dead ok. Boy try
to post some action into the story and everyone thinks your character
is dead.

4/2/00 4:04am
No maimin', serious inj'ry, death, or massive destruction in this town, 'k? This is a G rated town.. at least we try to keep it that way. Good thing I had the foresight to get those reinforcements into town. Daney, ya might as well give up since all the roads outta town are blocked. Black Sheep, you just earned yerself a one way ticket to the state pen. The ten plain clothes officers in town should take care of ya alright. Besides, we got Brian. Three Feds are carting him off right now. And another two are takin' care of Scarecrow. That leaves me, the other 4 state troopers, Enos, and Cletus free to come to town and clean it up. There's law in this town after all.
Consider all yerselves warned.

Daney looked at the group of people and out of the corner of her hazel
eyes she spotted a motorcycle. She yells "Hey Min,” The group
of officers, her family and friends turn to see where Min is. Daney
ran for the bike…yelling to Rosco and MaryAnne "The roads
might be blocked but you didn't say nothing about going off road to
get out of here."

Daney are you nuts!! *mutters to herself* Ten plain clothes cops, the rest of the posse here and Daney goes and pulls this???
*sees the plain clothes cops with their guns drawn* HOLD YER FIRE! She's crazy!! She's--- *the rest of her statement gets drowned out by the motorcycle and squealin' tires*
"MARYANNE!!" Rosco exclaims. "What the heck ya doin'?!? STOP HER!"
*Watches the motorcycle tear out of the square and starts running to her patrol car. Jumps in, guns the engine and begins the chase. After a couple of miles...realizes Daney's going straight to Hazzard Pond. Grabs up CB mike*
"I'm not tellin' y'all this AGAIN! Will somebody get their butt in gear and git out here and help me??? Daney's headin' to the pond...which is where JT last saw CJ. Something's up, and I need help. That means you too, ROSCO!" *Tosses the mike to the seat and continues to follow Daney*

Over At Hazzard Pond…
MaryAnne Coltrane
4/2/00 3:23pm

Daney looks sheepishly at Mary Anne, "Sorry about that. I didn't
think you would let me go look for CJ seeing how I was to be held for
questioning. But I wasn’t going to be blamed for something I didn’t
do. Brian gave us strict orders not to have any personal scores."
She looks at Mary Anne with a Cherishire grin.

"I didn't know you WANTED to go lookin' for CJ." *Sighs and is at least relieved that CJ is found alive*

"About time someone showed up I felt like I was starting to get

up. Just as Daney was escorted away in handcuffs by an agent.

While all of this..
Kristy Duke
4/3/00 6:05pm
Kristy sits silently in the cab of her new Silverado truck's cab. The truck that she had gotten from her dad on her last birthday, she had everything there, only to leave it behind to find her long lost half brother and the rest of her mother's family that she seemed to love so much.
She stares through the leaves of the trees at the pond where the law talks to a person that she has never seen before. Someone who looks friendly and Kristy begins to think of how she wished she had more friends here in this new town that she once lived in before she had to move in with her dad and her step mother and her other two half brothers on her father's side. Boys, boys, and more boys. She takes a deep breath as she wishes that she did get to know the woman that the law is talking to, get to know and to become friends with, though she never was that good at the one to start a friendship. She was popular in her Atlanta private School, and out of school, but that was always because her best friend was popular, of which her best friend came over to greet her and was the one to be begin the friendship. Anyways Shelley, her best friend was very popular and all her friends began to like Kristy and that was why she had so many friends and was so popular in Atlanta. But now she sits in an odd town that is still feeling odd to her and it is all up to her to make the friends that she wishes, besides her cousin Daisy.
She sighs wishfully watching how MaryAnne talks to the stranger to Kristy and another friendly looking woman that she has never meant before. SO many people for such a small town. Though all she has seen since she has entered Hazzard to meet Bo, there has been this big war, and she has been feeling out of place. Jesse and the rest of the family is so tight and out all the time to try to help things calm down and try to stop the war. What is Kristy suppose to do? She has offered to help, though they seem to accept the help, they don't seem to accept her, not at all. They accept her help, though never telling her what to do. She has tried to help on what she thought she can do to help, but only being in the way of everyone.
She stares down at her small gold watch that her boyfriend in Atlanta had given her for her last birthday. Though that was six months ago and they have broken up over a dumb argument that should have never happened if he wasn't so jealous of her and her family. She sighs thinking of returning home, even though she had left thinking of moving to Hazzard, to the simple life instead of the busy life in Atlanta that seemed to stress her out and don't how much longer she could have handled it. Maybe if she would return home her and her other family would make up and she could make up with Mark, her ex-boyfriend. At least there she would feel into place and not feel in the way all the time.
Daisy seems to be so excited now that she has returned, though that is only one person wanting her to stay at the farm. Everyone else only seems to think of her as a pest and in the way, especially at a time like this when her help should be wanted. Though they know they need as much help as possible and now it is all winding down, they, she knows, do not want her. Not even her own half brother, no matter what she says to him he seems to ignore her and move as much as possible as he can from her.
She stares down the hill from the cab of the truck, thinking of the officers and the two fresh faces of which she wish she could get to know and to be friends with, though she knows she doesn't know how to make friends especially when they don't have anything in common, that is why she stand out and everyone stares at her as if she is different and as if they wish she would leave their town, the town that don't want her to enter though no one says anything. . .

Re: Over At Hazzard Pond…

4/3/00 8:38pm
*What Min didn't know was that if Brian was goin' down, he wasn't goin' down alone. He gave the Feds the exact location of Min and Black Sheep's new hideout. After incarcerating the other criminals, the team of 10 plain clothes officers from town, the 8 state troopers that were handling road blocks, and the 7 FBI agents and state troopers that handled Brian's arrest converged on the hideout. Before Min and Black Sheep knew what was happening, 10 canisters of tear gas blasted through the windows from every direction. Men equipped with special masks and goggles that allowed them to see through thick clouds of tear gas quickly subdued Min and Black Sheep and cuffed the two criminals. They led them to one of the waiting patrol cars outside and read them their rights. Brian was in one of the back of the cars, having lead the officers to the scene.*
Brian: "Hey, good to see you guys again! Sorry I had to rat on ya, but the Syndicate's legal team said it would do wonders for my plea bargain."
*Now THAT my friends, is a happy ending. =)*

Let's just say that I was with y'all in spirit. It was fun, though... even though I know we went way away from the fic's original plotline. LOL. How could we not, with everybody jumping in at once?

To all those who stood bravely on the side of the law, and to those daring few who showed courage by joining the Syndicate: Thank you for the adventure. It was amazing to see so many Hazzardites rally to the cause (and rally against each other. LOL) And to any of you who read the message boards in pure bewilderment, but tolerated the fracas in good grace: thank you as well. We now resume our regular programming...you can come out now. LOL!
Before I take my leave of Hazzard, lemme just say for the record that I have nothin' but the utmost respect for Hazzard County law enforcement. (The fact that they outsmarted me has nothin' to do with this statement, I'm sayin' this voluntarily and only under the mildest coercion...Ow! MaryAnne, that's police brutality, ya know.)
Thanks again, ya'll. I'm gone.
Brian Coltrane
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yer welcome… now git outta town! Khee!
MaryAnne Coltrane
First of all, allow me to clarify that I, in no way was coersin' Brian to say what he did. (And if you accuse me of that again, I'll knock you into the middle of next week! Khee!) Ahem...but, I figure it's time for me to say something about all this.
You have proved to be quite a challenge, Brian (and Bonita), one that I willingly accepted and, I admit, I've even enjoyed. I know tho', that I'm not going to be coming out of this with no scars. To be honest, I originally viewed Brian as a threat, and that I had to do whatever I had to, to stop him. In my quest to prevent Brian from destroying Rosco and MaryAnne...I nearly destroyed them myself.
Neither Bonita nor I know what the ending of our story will entail. I hope it to be something of a happy one and one where a certain deputy can find forgiveness. And one where a certain Syndicate member realizes that he shot first and then decided to ask questions later!
It should be interesting....and it has been interesting... =)
