Elly May Duke

Lily in turn hugged him closer "Jake, do ou feel that about. . .whoever it is who has you?"

Lily nodded, secretl hoping Daisy overheard her "They do and I honestly have never found love before they adopted me. . .these people are everything to me." she said before breaking down.

Lily nodded "More than you know." she looked over to where Daisy sat "And I'll admitt that I probably haven't been as greateful to them as I probably could be."

Lily nodded "Know, I did that too when my daddy killed the rest of my family. I'm adopted by these nice people."

Lily nodded "I reckon I could've gotten by without asking that, but. . ." she shook her head "So what happened after he left?"

Lily's eyes coulded in worry "That's all? Did he hit your or something before he did?" she asked.

Lily nodded, letting it sink in as Jake told her "How'd you stop him?" she asked, not believeing anyone could be so cruel to their kid.

Daisy smiled ever so slightly "Well then I'll let you two talk. If Jake ever wants to tell me I'll leave it to him." she said and walked off toward the Jeep.

Lily nodded "I understand. It's awful private to you ain't it?" she patted his arm, stroking his cheek "It must be awful if you'd rather not say it in front of my mom."

Now Lily was interested "How was that?" she asked "That you . . .the deal with your parents?" she asked, a caring side showing strongly

Lily looked to them, her feelings strong "In what way?" she asked, not accusing them, but just wondered.

Jake wrapped an arm around her "Jason's gone now." he tried, but Lily just sighed "I can't help it. He was trying to hurt me and my brother's and sisters."

Soon the Sheriff showed up after a slight bout of annoyance. Back at the Boar's Nest Daisy was trying to calm Lily down, who, like Daisy had been a few times, was upset over a guy; except she had never felt nothing for him and never would have.

"Yeah, besides I mean ain't he overdue to be there anyway?" Bo asked. Luke smiled "Yeah I reckon you're right about that one cousin."

"I say turn him over to Atlanta." Enos suggested.

Luke slacked his grip letting Bo go, who just sighed "I reckon you're right cousin, but what can we do to him?" Bo asked.

Bo growled "Luke! When has a Hogg EVER done something nice for us? No way am I letting this jerk get away with what he did to my neice!"

Enos nodded. Bo, who was still riled up tried to shake free from Luke's grasp.

Enos shook his head "I love all of my kids so much. I need ya'lls help. I wish I could do it on my own, but . . .I just can't. I'd die to ever have to admitt it to Daisy, but that's the truth." Jason laughed "You're a sorry excuse for a father, a Sheriff and a man." Bo, his eyes flaming rushed to the cell and made an attempt to punch him.

Enos nodded and suddenly became quiet. "What's the matter?" luke asked, when he and Bo suddenly noticed that tears were slowly coming down his face. "Whoa, we didn't do anything did we?" Bo asked. Enos shook his head "No. . .y'all didn't do nothing." he looked to Jason in the cell "He did. I'd never forgive myself. . .I can't now for what he did to my baby girl"

Enos looked blankly at them "If? Y'all have wives AND kids, what you talking about?"

Enos, his eyes blazing nodded "you think you do? Well then times that a million for me. I mean Lily is my daughter."

Soon all three were at the county jail and Bo and Luke wrestled Jason into the jail cell along with a little help from Enos, who wasn't quite as strong as he used to be.

"Lost Sheep, I got Jason Hogg here with me going to the county jail. I'd apreciate some back up." Enos said.

Daisy, who hereself had been in a similar position to what her daughter was, tried to get Lily to calm down. Enos meanwhile drove Jason to the county jail, while on the way CBing Bo and Luke.
