Daisy followed cousin Alice. She was glad to stay there 'cause she could avoid to think 'bout the stalker. Bo, Luke and Enos hoped the stalker didn't find Daisy. Luke picked up the CB, "Enos, we have to look everywhere, so it' better we divide in two groups and we ask Cooter and Rosco for help", then Luke called Cooter and Rosco (but he didn't tell them where Daisy was; it was too much dangerous to say it by the CB). The hunt was open.

The boys nodded, "Next time we'll bring uncle Jesse and we'll eat your coockies, but now we are in a hurry. Bye. Come on, Enos" Enos looked at Daisy, "Bye Dais. Be careful". Then Enos, Bo and Luke left.

Enos blushed, "I know Miss Molly"; Enos sometimes had to follow Rosco and Boss's commands, even if he didn't like it. Bo and Luke told to Swamp Molly everything 'bout the stalker, then they left, "Take care of her, Molly, until we find the stalker".

Enos was driving behind Daisy, wondering if Swamp Molly was a good choice for Daisy's safety. Anyway, if Daisy wanted to stay there, he 'd have helped her. Also Bo and Luke were wondering 'bout Daisy's choice. The most important thing was to arrest the stalker; it was the only thing to do for Daisy's safety. Finally, they arrived at the swamp.

Enos looked at Daisy silently. He was glad that Daisy had again her self-confidence and she didn't seem scared anymore. But now she was even too much self-confident, and he wasn't at ease with her behaviour. He stood up, "OK. Let's go".

Enos sighed, "You're right Daisy. Even if you stay at my home, I won't be with you all the day, and if he finds it out, you'll be alone and without any protection. Swamp Molly would be fine"

Everyone knew that Daisy didn't like to stay at home without going out. For her it was a sort of prison, but there was no choice. Enos kept on talking, "And I think it's also dangerous for you to stay at the farm. I think he knows where you live, and now he has your housekeys. What 'bout if he comes at the farm while me, Bo and Luke aren't here? He's very strong, unfortunately I know it, and he can knock down uncle Jesse without any problem. Sorry uncle Jesse, I'm afraid so". Uncle Jesse nodded, "Enos is right. I can't protect Daisy by myself". Luke was thoughtful, "So, how protect Daisy and look for him at the same time?" Daisy tried to smile, "I may stay always with you. Here at home or when you go out to look for him". Everyone looked at her, "No way!". Daisy talked back, "But I feel like I'm in prison". Enos had an idea, "Prison. Right. In prison you'd be safe". The Dukes looked at Enos, "No way!!" Everyone was now talking without listen to the others, and their voices were overlappig, when uncle Jesse silenced them, "You can't leave me and Daisy alone at the farm; someone of you has to stay here while the others are out to look for him, or....". Bo shook his head, "But uncle Jesse, three is better than two". Uncle Jesse silenced his nephew with a glance, "....Or we have to find a safe place for Daisy. Enos, what 'bout your room at the boarding house? Daisy may stay there with you, it's not the first time"

Enos would have liked better that Daisy told her family everything, but she went in her room, leaving Enos alone with her family. Enos sighed and told them everything 'bout the stalker; he told them that man was everywhere 'roud Daisy in the last time. He told them that he was dangerous; he stalked and also raped several women in L.A., and unfortunately this time he had his eyes on Daisy. Bo and Luke got angry; they didn't stand the idea of Daisy stalked. Bo snapped "If that man put one only finger on Daisy I'll kill him. We have to find him", and he and Luke went out and got in the General. Fortunately uncle Jesse was so wise to stop his nephews, "Come in, boys. Enos told us Daisy needs protection, so you can't go away and let her here with me. I'm not so strong and so young to protect her; don't forget that man has her housekeys. Before you and Enos go out and find that man, we need to find a place where Daisy would be safe". Enos nodded. Bo and Luke sighed and went in the farm. They knew their uncle was right, as usual.

Enos squeezed her hand, "Why didn't you tell me or your family 'bout it?". Daisy shrugged, "I don't know exactly. Maybe I was too scared, or I was thinking that it was only my illusion and that it was only a case to see him everywhere. I don't know, but now I'm ashamed of my naivety" Enos whispered, "It's not your fault, Dais. But now you don't have to stay alone. That man is dangerous, and you need protection. Come on. It's better to talk with uncle Jesse, Bo and Luke 'bout it". Daisy nodded, then they stood up and they went in the living room where uncle Jesse, Bo and Luke were waiting for them and for Enos's informations.

While Bo was in Daisy's room someone knocked at the farm's door. Daisy flinched, but she relaxed when she heard her uncle saying "Hi Enos". Bo smiled at her, "It's Enos. Maybe he's found something out". She nodded but she didn't say anything. Enos knocked at Daisy's door and he got in her room shyly, "Hi Dais. How do you feel?" Daisy tried to smile, "I'm fine, thank you Enos" Enos sat near her, "I've found something out, but I need to know something more 'bout that man. I need to talk with you Daisy......", the deputy looked at Bo, ".....alone". Bo nodded, leaving Enos alone with Daisy. Daisy looked away, "What do you want to know, Enos?" The young deputy was worried 'bout what he was going to say, but he had to know, "That man is a stalker.... and a rapist", he took Daisy's hand and he looked at the ground, "Did he ever bother you... I mean... before today?" Daisy cried silently.

Enos was at the Court House, looking at mugshots and trying to find the thief. He also phoned his friends at the LAPD. The deputy wasn't positive, but he thought he was close to find him. And he didn't like what he was finding out; Daisy was more in danger than he had previously imagined. After a new call to the LAPD he sighed, "Possum on a gum bush", then he decided to go to the Dukes farm, but Rosco, who was coming in the Court House, stopped him, "Dipstick, where are you going? I looked for you all day long. Do you want to be fired? Again?" Enos was in a hurry, "Sorry sheriff, but someone stole Daisy's jeep, then he tried to kidnap Daisy and to kill me. He's somewhere out there, and Daisy is in danger, and..." Rosco stopped him, "What? Talk slowly. I don't understand anything you're saying. Daisy Daisy Daisy... you're always talking 'bout Daisy and Dukes". Enos left the Court House, "Sorry sheriff, but I'm in a hurry". Rosco looked at him, then he shook his head, "Daisy Daisy Daisy and Dukes Dukes Dukes", he mimicked Enos's voice, "That dipstick, he talks always 'bout Daisy Duke".

Enos was sitting surprisingly quiet in the General while Bo was driving. Bo looked at him "Hey buddy, thank you". Enos was surprised by Bo's words, "Why are you thanking me?" Bo smiled, "'cause you protected Daisy. I know you'd do anything for her" Enos blushed, "Yeah..... but..... if you and Luke hadn't helped me, I don't know...... I don't know if I would have saved Daisy". Bo shook his head, "Enos, trust me, you're a good cop, and today you saved Daisy". Enos nodded, "Thank you, Bo". Finally they arrived at the spot where they met the thief, where they saw Enos's patrol car. Enos sighed, "I was worried the thief stole my car when we took Daisy's jeep. It wouldn't have been a good thing if a thief had stolen a police car", he sniggered. The deputy got in his car, "Bye Bo. I'll call you later". "Bye Enos", then Bo drove back at the farm. Meanwhile Daisy was in her bed trying to sleep and to forget that morning.

Finally the Dukes and Enos arrived at the farm. Daisy hugged her uncle. She was still in shock 'bout what's happened. Enos looked at Daisy in her uncle's arms. He sighed in relief: finally she was safe in her family arms. He looked at Bo and Luke, "I'm going to find out who that man is. I remember very well his face. Maybe he's a wanted man, and I'll find it out. But" he grinned "I need a ride. I left my car where we met the thief, and I need my car to go back to the Court House". Bo put a hand on his shoulder, "OK buddy. But are you sure you want to leave right now? You could stay here for a while, have lunch and rest a bit. You had a big fight". Enos shook his head, "There's no time. I have to find that man. He's out there, and he's dangerous. I'll be quiet when he'll be in jail". Bo nodded, "You're right Come on" Bo left with Enos while Daisy tried to answered to her uncle's and Luke's questions.

Julie, please, only original characters. Julie Duke isn't an original character, doesn't she?

Bo hugged Daisy, "Don't worry Daisy. Everything is OK. You are fine and Enos is fine, so don't worry. Come on. Uncle Jesse is waiting for us at the farm" Luke nodded, "Get in the General with Bo, and I'll drive your jeep to the farm". Daisy followed Bo and got in the General. She touched gently Enos's shoulder, "How do you feel, honey?" Enos smiled a bit, "I'm OK. Only few bruises, and I think a couple of broken ribs, but I'm fine". Daisy hugged him, "Oh Enos, I was so scared" Enos sighed, "I know Daisy, me too. But where is the thief?"

Daisy was trembling in her jeep. She didn't want to hear anything and she didn't want to know what's happenig. She was too scared. So she closed her eyes and she put her hands on her ears. "Bo, Luke, please get here. Help me and Enos. Enos, please, don't die" Suddenly she felt a gentle touch on her shoulder. "Daisy, honey, are you OK?", it was Bo. Daisy hugged him sobbing, "Where's Enos?"
