Elly May Duke

Enos wrapped a caring arm around her "Come on. I'll go get dressed and get the others up while you get breakfast out."

Enos nodded "Yup."

Enos nodded "I understand how you're feeling about this Daisy. I just am leaving it in His hands. Lily's had a hard time most of her life."

Daisy's lips curled upward ever so slightly as she gave a silent prayer. She then went back to the kitchen. Enos gently wrapped an arm around her waist.

Enos nodded, a slight glint in his eyes was obvious despite his serious face "Yeah, Daisy. Just know that we have an unspoken promise to work together on this as hard as we can." Daisy nodded "True. I think I'll go check on Lily for a second." Enos watched as she headed back toward the rooms.

Enos sat down beside her and sighed "Daisy, I'm sorry I upset you earlier. I realize this is all troubling to you. I just want you to know that it's just as hard on me as it is you."

Enos just swallowed, he probably should've kept his mouth shut that once. He knew how much it bugged Daisy.

Enos nodded "Well let me know what you're thinking when you have it all figured out. I don't need something else happening to someone else I love."

Enos swallowed and nodded as he picked up his coffee mug "You have a plan honey?"

The next morning while she laid awake in bed, Daisy thought about the plan she and Enos were concocting to get rid of the Hogg who had hurt Lily. Finally she pulled herself out of bed to get breakfast started.

Enos nodded "Just promise me that you'll have me help with whatever you do."

Enos looked as if he could've died of surpprise "You what? Daisy, that's the most dangerous idea I could think of honey."

Enos looked to her, a look of slight surpprise but happy was there "I couldn't agree with you more. If I ever catch him he'll get life in Atlanta."

Enos hugged her close, kissing the top of her hair lightly "I know honey. You do all that you can. I wish you could take the blame off yourself."

Soon Lily was in bed after Daisy had taken special care to wash the blood off and fix her up. "So what happend?" she asked Enos. He swallowed "Well take a guess" Daisy swallowed "That Hogg kid isn't it?" Enos nodded "I swear I'll kill him, but yes Daisy." Daisy cried for she had no clue how she would take care of her family.

Enos looked into her eyes and sighed "Let's get Lily into bed first."

Daisy nodded, but the tears were far from gone. "I'd really hate to tell you how it happend." Enos whispered. Daisy looked to him, fear ever evident in her eyes.

Daisy tried to swallow back her tears, but couldn't. Her daughter stood there coverd in blood.

When they did Daisy gasped looking at the way Lily looked, Enos gave her a sad look. "Is that?" Daisy asked not even wanting to say what she thought.

Elly just tried to comfort Daisy while the two waited for what seemed to be forever.

Elly sat down beside her"Don't worry. Cooter will find her." she said handing Daisy a cup of the evening coffee Cooter had made.

Cooter nodded and climbed into the truck as Elly rushed to comfort Daisy who was beside herself.

"Enos please let me go with you." Cooter half begged "I think you'll need my help to reason with her."

Elly nodded "I see." she simply said as both of them had seen Lily earlier and knew she had to be what he was looking for.

Enos made his way to the squad car and after getting close to town slowly drove his way to Cooter's Garage. He smiled ever so slightly when he saw Elly outside with Cooter.
