March 9, 200818 yr *he doesn't know what to do or what to say. He wants to help his friends, but he doesn't want to lose his job 'cause he loves it. After a long pause he picks up the CB again* OK sheriff. I'm getting there.
March 9, 200818 yr Good over and out!*thinks* *enos can get it right I think he's worse than Cletus**meanwhile back at the courthouse minutes later*Enos, now where are the papers?
March 9, 200818 yr *shaking his head and looking at his foots, with his hat in his hands*I don't know sheriff.
March 9, 200818 yr You don't know well, it was plian here on the desk. Enos, when is the last time you saw the Dukes?
March 9, 200818 yr I saw Bo here, sheriff. I left him here waiting for you while I was out looking for Luke.*holds his hat stronger, thinking 'bout Bo's words. Was everything a lie?*
March 9, 200818 yr Author *hears Enos' CB conversation and bites his lip, looking to Luke*Oh yeah Luke...your missing ok...
March 9, 200818 yr Oh.. That's right Bo duke did come in. I think the dukes stole the papers. Enos, go find the dukes and arrest them.
March 9, 200818 yr *holds his hat stronger and stronger*But... sheriff. They are losing their farm. I can't arrest them when they are so weak.
March 9, 200818 yr *rolls eyes*Enos, I don't care if the Dukes are weak, just do it or I'll do it myself!
March 9, 200818 yr *gets in patrol car and sees the general pass by**picks up cb*Enos did you see that, I'll follow the General and i'll meet you at the Duke Farm. *puts down cb*I love it I love it! Hot pursuit!
March 9, 200818 yr *gets in patrol car and sees the general pass by**picks up cb*Enos did you see that' date=' I'll follow the General and i'll meet you at the Duke Farm. *puts down cb*I love it I love it! Hot pursuit![/quote']* gets in patrol car and looks for the Dukes*
March 9, 200818 yr Author *sighs*Because in order to take the files I had to get Enos out the courthouse, so I lied and said you were missing so he'd go look for you...
March 10, 200818 yr Jesse *sitting at kitchen table in deep thought* realizes that Bo is right. Whatever it takes to keep the farm is what he'll do. It's time to stop worrying and start acting.
March 10, 200818 yr Author *scowls back*Well ha ha, I didn't see you go inta the court house an' sneak around trying to find the papers. I had to think of somethin' t'get Enos outta there so's I could get into Boss' office and get them. But you know, from the sounds of it Rosco's on his way here with Enos so you better hide...
March 10, 200818 yr *arrives at the Duke farm before Rosco taking a shortcut. He decided what to do. Taking a deep breath, he knocks at the door*
March 10, 200818 yr Author *looks to the door, clenching his jaw a little as he grabbed the file and slid it behind the Bookcase, making sure it was completly hidden before checking Luke was also hidden and opening the door*Enos? Hey, what's up?
March 10, 200818 yr *looks at Bo, sadly*I'm sorry, Bo. Sheriff Rosco told me to arrest you because of some papers he thinks you took when you came at the Courthouse.
March 10, 200818 yr Author "Now hang on...youc an't do no such thing without no hard evidence an' you know that Enos. You didn't see me take any papers did ya? And ya certainly don't see em here now do ya? If you arrest me, Uncle Jesse'll have you an' Rosco thrown in jail for false arrest..."Bo warned softly, knowing Enos was conflicted as to what to do, torn between duty and friends, so was offering him a legal and very true way out of having to arrest him at such a difficult time.
March 10, 200818 yr *staying hidden in the closet behind Jesse's old overcoat, unnoticeable to the naked eye but listening through the thin walls*
March 11, 200818 yr Jesse *authoritive and gently* Now Enos, you know that Bo is right. You also know that you took a sworn oath to uphold the law and that oath you took was with your right hand on the Good Book. *tilts head* I know you did because I was there for the swearing in ceremony. All us Dukes were. Luke even went on leave from the Marines to witness it, he was so proud of you. Now, what's more important to you son, your oath before the Almighty or obeying an illegal order that you know ain't lawful *voice raises* ain't legal and plain old ain't right.
