Jesse sat down and took a bite of pie but set his fork down quickly.
He spoke firmly. "Daisy, there's something I need to say and before I do I don't want you asking any questions when I'm finished."
He paused a moment to let Daisy soak it in. "I think I'm going to take a little trip tomorrow. Now I'll likely be gone the whole day and I'm gonna be out of CB range and I don't want you or the boys worrying or asking any questions. What I'm doing is my business and doesn't affect you kids in any way. And don't you worry none. I ain't in no trouble or anything. I just need to check on an old friend who might be in trouble. Its just that simple"
He paused but Daisy wasn't reacting, doing just as he instructed. Jesse continued "Well, it ain't quite that simple. Nothing around Hazzard is ever simple."
He stood up, stepped away from the pie he had only taken a bite of and walked back out to the barn
