"I'll see what I can do. Boss could careless what I do half the time." He nodded to her and turned to leave then stopped. "If you cant find a home for that pup, I wouldnt mind his company." Harlond said and left the office. He walked down the street in the direction of the sheriffs office and stoped to excamine th old tree. It was huge and the young warden was correct it had to be well over a hundred years old by the looks of it. Then again Harlond didnt know much about trees, but what ever means the Dukes had towards saving it he understood the special out look it appeared to have on who ever stood before it. Harlond continued on to the sheriffs office working up a plan in his mind to get Boss to talk to him. Playing stupid was an easy task, and Boss would never suspect anything. When he arrived at the Sherriffs office Boss was yelling at Rosco over the radio to get his tail there. Boss had sent Rosco to get some lunch and he hadnt returned yet. The young light haired deputy approached boss with a smirk on his face from ear to ear. "Boss?" He said grinning widely. The Boss turned to the deputy with a smuge look on his face as he leaned against the desk. "Yeah?" He growled. "How come you got a big orange X on that tree out there?" Harlond asked trying to mak eit sound like he had no idea what so ever what the X ment. "Well see boy I'm gonna cut that big tree there down and burn it and make me a nice Oak table." Boss said grinning and talking slowly to the deputy. "Now when you gonna do that?" Harlond asked looking at the Boss like a little kid who liked to ask a millions 'why' questions. "In excactly one week to this very date, why you gonna help me?" Boss asked knowing he could get the young deputy to work for cheep. "I dont know how to run machianery, I wouldnt be much good to you. Why next week?" Harlond asked making it sound like he had a million whys. "Cause thats the day my workin' boys can do it." Boss's voice raised, he wasnt liking the childish atics. "Now, shouldnt you be on patrol deputy? You should if you want your pay!" Boss spat and turned back to the cb. Harlond left, closing the sheriffs office doors behind him shaking his head, Boss's voice still rang in his ears. He grinned he had gotten alittle info out of Boss and irritated him too. (Godd Job Val. Cue anyone.)
