"Vicki, don't." Katie said. "If it's really going to be this horrible for you, you don't have to do this." "Honey, actually Vicki does have to do this," Coy told Katie. "Hey, we already bought the plane ticket." Vicki spun around and faced her two friends. She read the concern, along with a healthy dose of amuesment in their expressions. "They are only trying to be helpful," Vicki told herself. "Maybe I can go to Malibu to see Jack for the weekend. Afterall, Rachel is staying with her daddy in Florida until next Monday." Vicki kept thinking. Katie and Coy really cared about her. They have known each other for over 10 years. She wouldn't have made it through the past few months if it hadn't been for them. "Maybe I can do this," Vicki said with a smile then added, "But why did y'all buy me a plane ticket to California? Maybe Jack doesn't want to see me right now. I have changed since I last saw him a few weeks ago."

Vicki smiled at Coy, who was grinning widely at the redhead. "All right, Coy. What did you mean by that? What did you and Katie buy me this time?" She then poked Coy in the ribs playfully. "Vicki, aren't you a bit cranky this afternoon," Coy said after rubbing his ribs after Vicki poked him there. The handsome ex-race car driver turned security agent wasn't the least bit upset by Vicki's reaction. If Vicki had to put money on something, she would bet that he was actually amused. "We thought that we were doing you a favor," said Katie with a smile then added,"You've been depressed ever since Jack went back to Colorado, and before then it was right after your divorce." "So we figured that we would help things along some," Coy added, putting his arm around Vicki. "I don't know. I really can't take off work right now, I've been too busy trying to get caught up on paperwork," said Vicki doubtfully, shaking her red head. She then rose to her feet and crossed to the floor-to-ceiling windows that lined the wall of her family room. Outside, a storm raged, but its wildness couldn't compare to the panic growing inside her. "Was it something I did to cause y'all to do this?"

******** Friday, June 25, 1993 At an apartment in Chickasaw near Chickasaw County Courthouse... "You bought me what?" Vicki Lynn Jones asked as she stared at the couple sitting across from her in her living room. A thunderstorm filled the late afternoon sky. Maybe she'd been hit by lightning and hadn't noticed. That would explain why she thought Coy Duke had said what he had. She shook her red head, trying to clear her obviously confused hearing. He couldn't have said that. Something was very wrong. "Vicki, it's not so awful," her friend Katie told her. "Really, I didn't know when he'd done it, but now that I think about it, it's kinda sweet." Vicki smiled at the couple. Coy & Katie Duke were once related to Vicki through marriage, but after her divorce, Vicki had now consider the couple to be one of her closest friends that she had. Vicki had tried to laugh at Katie's remark, but the sound that came out was more than a moan. "Sweet. Of course. I'm sure that's what Coy meant."

As Bo and Luke were about to peek outside the cell window, Cooter and Vicki stuck their faces inside the window. Bo and Luke jumped slightly. "Hey, you two! What does Rosco have y'all in here for this time?" Cooter asked, laughing. Vicki smiled but didn't say anything to Bo as she peered her head inside the cell window. "Someone robbed Boss's House," snorted Luke sarcastically. "And they're blamming it on us," added Bo. "Well, this is y'alls lucky day. We just saw Rosco and Boss leave," Cooter said with a grin. "And we're going to get y'all out of there," said Vicki with a giggle. "We're coming around now to get y'all out," said Cooter as he and Vicki moved away from the window. "Okay, y'all be careful. Rosco said earlier that Cletus will be here any minute," Luke said as he watched Cooter and Vicki walk away from the window. Bo peered outside the jail cell window. He could see Cletus's patrol car in the distance in the blowing snow. "Luke, I can see Cletus's patrol car in the distance. Cooter & Vicki better hurry and break us out of here." Luke walked over to the front of the jail cell. He could hear some movement upstairs. "I hope so, cousin. We're not out of this yet."

Here's a short story **possibly a Character Crossover into another series** about Vicki making a major move in her near future. It will feature an appearance of Jack Stewart, Vicki's new friend. For more info on Jack Stewart, (He is a character that I had borrowed from Diagnosis Murder...LOL) www.paxtv.com/diagnosismurder Story takes place in June 1993 or after the round robin storyline, Dangerous Curves Ahead. That is where Jack was introduced for the 1st time. Take Care Y'all & Have a Great Day! Vicki **STORY STARTS NEW POST**

Meanwhile, after Rosco and Boss left the Courthouse, Bo and Luke were standing inside the jail cell all alone. Bo went and sat down on a cot, while Luke was standing near the window. They didn't know that Cooter and Vicki were on their way to get them out. "Luke, how are we going to get out of this one? Uncle Jesse and Daisy aren't here, and Vicki wasn't answering her CB a few minutes ago," said Bo as he got up and walked over to the cell door. Luke turned towards Bo and smiled. "Cousin, we're going to have to break out of here and go after those crooks. We can't go after them if we're sitting locked up in here." Bo laughed. "That's for sure, Luke. We have to get out of here, but how do we do it?" Luke was about to answer Bo when they started hearing some movement just outside their jail cell window. "I wonder what is going on, Luke?" asked Bo. Luke looked outside the window and glanced as he saw Cooter and Vicki walking into the Courthouse. "Cousin, I think that we're about to break out of here."

Meanwhile about 30 minutes away, a red Suburban crosses into Chickasaw County... As Jim was driving, Luke and Daisy was scouring the countryside hoping to find Bo and Vicki. "Is something on your mind, Luke?" Jim asked as he turned onto Mountain Creek Road. "Yeah, there is," said Luke as he looked outside the window. "It's Bo," Daisy replied worriedly. "He's been kidnapped by that killer, and Vicki is now missing as well. I sure hope that nothing happens to them." "Daisy, I wouldn't worry if I were you. Vicki is a trained police officer." Jim said as he turned the truck onto Pine Hill Road. "Yeah, Daisy. Vicki will get Bo out of there," said Luke, putting his hand on Daisy's shoulder. He was trying to calm his cousin down. "Unless...Jasper has them both," said Daisy worriedly as she continued to look out the window.

Knowing how nervous and scared Bo was, Vicki walked over to his chair and gently put her arms around him. She was lightly rubbing Bo's shoulders and neck, trying to relax him. "You shouldn't be doing this, sugar," said Bo in a low tone, trying to look away from the redhead as Vicki was rubbing his shoulders. Watching across the room as Jasper and Lucy were walking out onto the porch talking, and not paying any attention to them, Vicki lightly brushes her lips across Bo's for a minute. "No, I shouldn't be doing this, sweetheart," Vicki said as she sighed loudly then added as she started to loosen the ropes on Bo's wrists. "But I'm going to make extra sure that you're going to be okay." "Whatever it takes to get us out of this mess, Sweet Angel, I'm all for it," Bo said in a low tone as he watched Vicki freeing him from the chair...

Looking at Jasper, then at Vicki, Bo had no idea what was going on right now or at the situation that he was in. Still, he continued to pull on the ropes. He was hoping that he could free himself before Jasper decided on what to do with him. But the knots in the ropes held firm. There wasn't any way to budge them. Not without a knife. Moving his tied wrists behind him, Bo started reaching behind him to get at his pocketknife. Bo looked at Vicki. He was wondering if she had a new plan. He knew that something was up when Vicki was trying to trick Jasper into letting him think that she was really a crazy crook. Bo was hoping that Vicki could really trick Jasper into letting him go.

I have an idea who could play my character Vicki. I was thinking maybe Jennifer Grey from the Dirty Dancing Movies. She looked a lot like me back then. As for my new character Jack, I was thinking that maybe Scott Baio would fit the part. lol Take Care Y'all and have a great day tomorrow. Vicki

Bo pulled on the ropes as he tried to get away from the wild redhead. "I don't want you to do anything. Don't let her come near me!" Bo shouted, trying to get away from Vicki. "Quit moving," said Jasper harshly as he slaps Bo across the face. Bo immediately felt blood across his split lip. Glancing at Jasper, who was smiling meanly, Vicki laughed hysterically. "Sugar, I could take you somewhere away from here. Away from my boss's punches," Vicki said as she lightly places her hand along Bo's bruised cheek. Bo looked away from Vicki, pretending to be hurt. "Vicki, that would probably be a mistake," Lucy said as she walked into the room. "If you were the only one watching him, he'll probably escape and go staight to the cops." Vicki walked away from Bo, towards the front door of the cabin. "That's the risk that I was willing to take." "Vicki, it's too risky. I'll just take care of him right now," said Jasper as he picks up his revolver off the table. Turning back towards Jasper, Vicki added as she eyed Bo down, "I just wanted to get him out of your hair for a while. If he's with me, then no cop will be able to track us down, unless they have something that we want." "Hmmm...that may be an idea. Maybe it could work if we had somewhere to stash him," said Jasper as he smiled at the redhead.

"Cooter! Look!" Vicki said excitedly, placing her hand on Cooter's arm. "Rosco and Boss are finally leaving." "Yep. Rosco and Boss always leave this time of day, no matter how cold it is outside," said Cooter as he was getting on his heavy coat. "Yeah," said Vicki with a giggle. "Thanks to Boss and his hungry appetite." Cooter laughed with the redhead as he locked up his garage. "Let's go get Bo and Luke out of jail." "That's a good idea, Cooter. Bo and Luke have been in there long enough. I hope that we can get them out before Cletus comes back from going out on patrol," Vicki said worriedly as she followed Cooter across the street. "We'll get them out, Vicki. Besides if Cletus does come back, you could always tell him that Rosco told you to let them out," said Cooter with a laugh as he and Vicki approached the basement window. Vicki laughed as she followed Cooter. "That might work, Cooter."

Meanwhile back at the Garage, Vicki and Cooter were watching outside the garage door waiting for Rosco and Boss to leave the courthouse. Vicki glanced at the snow coming down. "It looks like that we're in for a snowstorm, Cooter." replied the redhead sighing loudly. Cooter glanced outside at the heavy snow coming down. "Vicki, it looks more like a blizzard." "That probably makes things worse. I know for sure that Boss and Rosco won't leave the courthouse at all. There won't be any way that we can get Bo and Luke out of there," said Vicki sarcastically. Cooter glances at the clock on the wall of his garage. "I wouldn't be so sure, Vicki. It is Boss's lunch time. He always take his lunch hour around this time of day." "That makes me feel better, Cooter. Maybe they'll leave soon," said Vicki as she continues to watch tne snow come down outside.

BALLADEER: "Y'all, everyone seems to be enjoying themselves. However, Vicki tells Jack about a career change. It looks like that Chickasaw County could be losing a deputy shortly in the future. Hmmm...." About an hour later as everyone continued to dance, Vicki and Jack were at the bar talking like they had all night. "So what is like working as a deputy in Chickasaw County?" Jack asked the redhead. "Well, right now I'm only working part-time. I've been going to college at night taking some classes," Vicki replied, taking a sip of the iced tea that she ordered earlier. "Wow. What are you taking at school?" asked Jack. "A few months ago, I decided to make a few changes in my life. And that included going back to school. I'm taking some nursing courses," said Vicki, yawning slightly. "Vicki! You didn't tell me that you went back to school!" Dixie said shocked as she sat down next to Vicki and Jack. "How long have you been going?" "Dixie, like I was telling Jack, I've only been going for the last few months. Just a couple of nights a week. That is the reason why I've been patrolling only during the morning hours." Vicki told Dixie, taking a sip of her iced tea. "No wonder that Chance couldn't get a hold of you until a few days ago! Just think, not only that Hazzard County has a doctor now, but also a nurse soon!" said Daisy excitedly as she sat down at a table next to them. "Maybe, Daisy," said Vicki as she smiled at her friend as she watched Daisy & Dixie walked away from them. Taking Jack by the arm, she added in a low tone, "But I wouldn't count on it for a while." "What is it, Vicki? Is there something wrong?" Jack asked, as he helped Vicki put her leather coat on. Vicki squeezed Jack's hand. "Not really, Jack. Why don't we go get some coffee next door. I'm going to need some so I can stay awake driving home." "Sure, sweetheart," said Jack as he gently put his arm around Vicki's shoulder. "Bye, Y'all. It was fun. See Y'all soon," Vicki said, waving at her friends out on the dance floor as she and Jack head towards the front entrance of the dance club. CUE: whoever is ready to add!!

Vicki looked at Bo, then at Jasper. She was trying to decide which approach she should take in the dangerous situation that she and Bo are in. If she made one wrong move, it may cost her something dearly to her. Bo's life... She wasn't sure which way she should go... "What should I do?" Vicki questioned, mouthing the words to Bo. "Try to get Jasper to take his gun away from me would help..." Bo mouthed the words to the redhead. Vicki nodded slightly to Bo. "How about if I take that gun away before it accidently goes off?" Vicki asked in a sweet voice to Jasper. Ignoring Vicki, Jasper shoved Bo into a straight back chair at the table. "I should have taken care of you a couple of years ago while I had the chance!" Jasper growled at Bo, nodding to Dave & Harry to tie Bo to the chair. "Yeah, right!" said Bo angrily then added, "The only reason why you didn't was because my girlfriend and I captured you before you had the chance to finish my cousin and I off!" Jasper laughed meanly then smiled at Vicki slightly. "That pretty little redhead? She's as crooked as us now! Aren't ya, Vicki?" Vicki giggled wildly. "I'm as crooked as they come, Jasper." Walking over to Bo, who was now tied securely, Vicki lightly brushed her lips against Bo's lips for a split second. Surprised, but knowing what Vicki was doing without blowing her cover, Bo pulled back from Vicki's light peck on his lips. "Sweetie...do you have any ideas on what I should do with you?" Vicki asked wildly to Bo. Bo just stared back at the redhead...

**AUTHOR NOTE: I'm back to writing y'all, but only for a limited time. Parts of this post and next one could be rated PG+ for mild violence.** *************** "Jasper! No! Don't do it!" Vicki yelled as she walked into the front of the cabin. Bo turned his head slightly, watching as Vicki rushed into the room. "Maybe I should waste you right here!" Jasper growled as he jabbed his revolver into Bo's neck. "No! Jasper! He isn't worth hurting! It'll just make it worse on us!" said Vicki as she got in between Jasper and Bo. Jasper ignored her as he cocked back the trigger of his revolver. *Don't do anything rash, Sweet Angel...* Bo thought as he looked directly into Vicki's eyes, with Jasper's gun still pressing hard into his neck...

Bo and Luke walked downstairs into a jail cell with a barred window. "Come on, Rosco. You know that we wouldn't do such a thing as to rob Boss Hogg's house. I was out with Vicki all afternoon yesterday. We were no where around here." Bo protested to Rosco after Rosco locked them in. "Bo's right, Rosco." Luke said, shaking his head. "You have to let us out so we can find out who did it." Rosco gave them a stern look. "Both of you boys just shut up. I know that you're guilty, so don't try to wiggle your way out of it." "Rosco," said Bo angrily & hushed when Rosco told him to be quiet again. Rosco grinned. "If y'all would excuse me, I will be back in an hour after I have lunch with Boss. I know if Vicki was working today, y'all would have shuck-n-jived her into letting y'all out, but she isn't working today. So Flash is going to watch you until Boss and I get back from going to lunch." Rosco told them as he was leaving to go back upstairs to the booking room. "Now what do we do, Luke?" Bo asked as he watched Rosco go upstairs. After hearing a lock click in the door, Luke looked up. "I don't know, cousin."

**HAZZARD COUNTY COURTHOUSE-->around the same time** "Come on, Bo and Luke. Let's go inside the booking office," said Rosco as he pulled on Bo and Luke's arms. "Rosco, we didn't do anything wrong. We're innocent," said Luke rubbing his wrist after Rosco uncuffed him. "Yeah, Rosco. If you talk to Vicki she can tell you that I'm innocent. I was with her all day long yesterday. We weren't anywhere near Boss's house," said Bo watching Rosco as he uncuffed his wrist. "Yeah. The closest we were to Boss's house was this morning when we were at Cooter's Garage fixing the General," Luke said as he and Bo walked slowly towards the stairs that goes down to the jail cells. Boss Hogg ignored the boys' pleas. "Rosco, after you get them into the jail cell downstairs, why don't we go to lunch." "Sure thing, Boss," Rosco said with a grin then added to Bo and Luke, "Come on, boys. We're going downstairs for a while."

**Due to some changes in my life with a new job, I'm going to add to this storyline while I can! Dixie, I may borrow your character for a line or two if ya like. If y'all like to borrow my character Vicki and her new friend Jack, go ahead. Take Care! ** ************* ************* Still holding Jack lightly in her arms, Vicki kept glancing towards the front of the bar. "You okay, Vicki?" asked Jack as he relunctantly let go of the redhead. "Not really, Jack," Vicki said as she looked towards the front of the bar. "Are you expecting someone? You keep looking towards the front of the bar like you saw someone you knew." "Jack, I don't know. Maybe I'm tired or something. I've had a long day today. Why don't I go get my jacket, and you can walk me out to my car." "Sure, Vicki," replied Jack. "I need to go soon anyway. My shift tomorrow morning starts at 6a.m." Vicki giggled lightly. "That's one thing that we have in common already. We're workacholics." Holding hands, Vicki and Jack walked to the back of the bar. "Hello," said Vicki as she approached Daisy and Dixie. "Vicki, are you having a good time?" Dixie asked as she smiled at the redhead. Vicki smiled at Dixie, then lightly yawned as she was putting back on her black leather jacket. "Yeah, Dixie, I am having a good time." CUE: Dixie or Whoever is ready to add!

About 15 minutes, Lucy, Jasper's girlfriend, knocked on the bedroom door. "Vicki, are you awake?" she asked as she opened the bedroom door. "I am now, Lucy. Is there something wrong?" Vicki asked, blinking back a tear as she sat up on the bed. "Not really except that Jasper wanted to talk to you in the front room. He said that he had something of interest to you," said Lucy as she smiled at the redhead. Vicki's heart thumped with fear. She knew what Jasper had for her. She didn't know if she was really ready to face it and her fears of Jasper. "Lucy, I'm not up for whatever Jasper has for me." "Vicki, I think that you should see this before Jasper decides to hide it somewhere in case the cops come," said Lucy, nudging Vicki on the arm. Vicki glanced out into the front room. There, she saw what Lucy was talking about. Jasper had a gun aiming directly at Bo's neck. Vicki gasped outloud, rushing out the bedroom door. "Oh...my...gosh!"

Deciding not to go confront Jasper about Bo, Vicki decided to stay back in the tiny bedroom. She didn't think that she could have talked to Bo right now. She didn't want to risk anything by making the situation worse on them. Vicki sat back down on the bed as a stray tear fell down her face. She was thinking about last night when Bo declared his love to her. Vicki smiled just thinking about it. It was only for a short while, though. Vicki frowned when she started thinking about what she saw when Bo was being herded out of the back of the red sedan by Jasper's men. She didn't like what she saw. It terrified her, actually. *Face your fears, Vicki...* she thought, closing her eyes. *Or you and Bo will become a victim of them...* Her fears were of having recurrent nightmares about Jasper winning. Even though Jasper thought that Vicki was on his side, Vicki was still fearful of him. *Okay, fine. But I'm not about to let that happen. Jasper is not going to win this time...* Vicki thought as she crossed across the floor and looked out the window, eyeing the red sedan parked behind her black mustang. She feared of losing Bo, relinquishing the dream of their happiness together. Still, it terrified Vicki to think of the predictament that she and Bo was in. Her insides felt fragile and tender. In her wildest dreams all she wanted was to curl up around Bo and fall asleep in his arms. She didn't want all of this to happen in the first place. "Why had Bo followed me here?" Vicki said quivering as a stray tear fell down her face as she sat back down on the bed hoping that she can figure out a plan of rescue before Jasper decides to move to another hiding place...

Congrats Pendragon! Just think in a few months, you'll be a nurse like me. And you'll enjoy it too! Wouldn't it be something to have 2 nurses running around Hazzard?? Just a thought... I am so proud of you for accomplishing your dreams. I hope that you do well as a nurse too. If ya ever want to talk about it, you know where to find me. Talk to ya soon! Take Care! Vicki and her author Vicki. LOL!

About 5 minutes later, Vicki pulls up in front of Cooter's Garage. Cooter walked outside then opened his garage door up so Vicki can pull her mustang inside. "Vicki, I'm glad that you're here," Cooter said as he shut the Garage door after Vicki pulled her mustang inside. "That's good to know, Cooter. What's wrong?" Vicki asked. Cooter glanced outside the garage door towards the Courthouse. "Vicki, why don't you take a look at who Rosco arrested. That is the reason why I called you on the CB." Vicki nooded then took a peek out the garage door. "I don't believe it. What has Rosco and Boss pulled this time? I know that Bo and Luke didn't do anything wrong." Vicki glanced outside in shock at a handcuffed Bo and Luke being escorted into the courthouse by Rosco and Boss. "What I heard on the CB is that Rosco and Boss think that Bo and Luke robbed Boss Hogg's house," Cooter said as he and Vicki watched Bo and Luke go inside the Courthouse. "That is not possible, Cooter," said Vicki, shaking her red head. "I was out with Bo yesterday afternoon at Clear Creek Lake. We weren't near here at all. We were more than 20 miles away." "Yeah, that is what Bo told me earlier this morning when I asked him why he had to fixed the General out at Clear Creek Lake," said Cooter, laughing. Vicki glanced outside across the street. "What do you want to do about getting them out of jail?" "Vicki, maybe Rosco will leave in a minute. Then we'll go over there and get them out without Rosco and Boss finding out," said Cooter. Vicki glanced at her wristwatch. "That might work, Cooter. Besides, it time for Boss's lunch hour." Vicki giggled as she watched outside the door waiting for Boss and Rosco to leave...

**THROUGH Vicki's THOUGHTS** *Now what do I do?* Vicki thought as she paced around the small bedroom. *Do I go along as we planned it with Bo's life in jeopardy?* Vicki sighs loudly as she closes her eyes for a minute. *I guess that I can go along as planned. I will just act like that I don't recognize Bo at all, and hope for the best that Jasper doesn't put 2 and 2 together.* *What I need to do is get a plan of somesort together. What I need is to get Bo out of Jasper's clutches before something bad happens. I can't let that happen...* Vicki thought as she opened the small bedroom door a little, trying to overhear the commotion in the front of the cabin. *Maybe if I can talk to Lucy, maybe I'll tell her that I don't want anything to happen to Bo, and maybe that I can take Bo off Jasper's hands for a while. Maybe that will work if Bo doesn't blow my cover...* Vicki thought as she walked out of the bedroom, and headed towards where Jasper was on the front porch with Dave, Harry, and Bo.

Scoot, If ya ever need to talk, I'll be happy to talk to you anytime you feel like it. I will always be there for you. You've always been like the little sister that I wished I had.
