There is Layla she is still with Hazzerd County Sheriff's department and there is Sally which she went on the Nascar racing circuit and there is Roy now folks he is the record holding Altanta Falcons Fullback in tackles.

Layla was so glad she had told Luke that she had loved all those years ago, and now they were married and they had couple of kids of there own. There is Luke Jr, and his brother Kenneth after Luke's father. John and Julie had there hands full especailly after they had two more after the triplets there was Reba after their John's grandmother and Michelle after John's mother. Reba was sixteen years old and Michelle was just ten years old you could say she was bit of a surprized to John and Julie. Sally had went into racing and she said that she was in top five in the points race, Sally went and married R.D. Bobcat and they had a couple kids as well. Roy was a Atlanta Falcons Fullback and he had married a Falcons cheerleader and they had ten year old Roy Jr. and she had this whole planned at her house. All the O'neill's was getting together she still had the newspaper article that tells how her brother tackled that gut twenty years ago and help saved the day. Use see folks R.D. Bobcat is the cousins of Sheriff Rosco P. Coltraine so everytime Sally came here her husband always stopped to see his cousin. Now you are wondering by now is Big Jim still around, and yes he is and he is now eighty-nines years old and he is still drives yet. And she missed Uncle Jesse so much and she wished he was still her as of today, she missed her parents as well.

Layla: Luke and Kenny gets your buts in here, who thought it was funny to do this right here.
LukeJr : That wasn't me, Mom.
Kenny : That wasn't me, Mom.
Layla: That was the ghost's fault then.
Luke : What is going here Layla?
Layla : Oh Just that the boys won't say who broke the window over by the barn.
Luke : Oh don't worry about that , honey.
John and Julie come driving up, and they have all the kids with them for the family get-together. Julie is telling Michelle to cut that out and it not funny to do that right now, and she ain't exactly listenly to her mother right now. Well, not all the kids with her right now, J.P. and J.J. are driving along in there Stleath and they are just a good time. They arrive at their Aunt and Uncle's farm, they are asking what is they big deal now because Aunt Layla looks mad right now. Michelle is making faces and just goofing off right now, she reminds her of Roy when he was younger. And they Reba is asking her mother is true that twenty years ago Uncle Roy tackled some guy to get him away from Aunt Sally. And Layla says that is very true Reba, and she is amazed well with two older brothers I had better watch out then. Speaking of that they see their cousins J.P. and J.J. and they talking about how they lost the Sheriff again and saying they glad that Uncle Luke told them about that shortcut there. Rebecca is looking at her brothers and wondering are they ever going to grow-up and they look at her and wonder what she sees in that guy she is seeing. Now Sally and R.D. pull up in their Caravan and their kids come out and they can't help if they got their mother mad about something now. Roy and his wife and their ten year old Roy Jr, pull up and their is his wife she looks like she is pregant. Roy's wife was hoping for a girl after all, she had a son, by now Layla sees and her family all their and she is happy but she is most happy when she her grandfather pull -up in the driveway. Luke is teasing Roy's when he asking are the two of you trying to fill up the minivan with kids there.And Roy says that he has Minivan but he is not trying to fill-up, adn besides it looks like John and Julie beat me to it Luke. Big Jim is happy to see all his grandkids and their spouses and their kids in one big place. J.P. and J.J. see their great-grandpa and ask him how is he doing and he asking them what they did now. They both look at him and ask what do you mean what did we do now. And he goes to explain everytime you are smiling like that you must have done something. And Layla says it not them it LukeJr and Kenny that did something but neither one with say who did it. And Layla points to the perfect hole in the window on the side of the Barn.

Nikki is thirty and she expecting their second child, she was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. She was born the same day as Roy's fathers fatal accident at the 1975 Daytona 500. Now she was looking up her birth mother and she found out it is Katherine McCormcik and that she was in trouble about ten years ago right here in the very same county as to where Roy was from. (Isn't that intersecting fact right there) Now when Nikki was eighteen she moved from Cleveland to Atlanta and she got on the Falcons Cheerleaders squad, she had met Roy in 1993 and they had dated and then they married in 1994. They had Roy Jr. in 1995 and they had their second child on the way. Now Roy or anybody in Hazzerd for that fact or anybody in their family know that her birth mother is Katherine McCormick and wait until they find out about this little fact right here.

RoyJr. comes running up to his great-grandpa O'neill giving him a hug and complaining about the baby coming this year. Layla says that she has to talk to Luke about something that is rather important and she ask him do you remember what took place twenty years ago. Honey take a good look at Roy's wife and doesn't she look like that Kate you had knew all those years ago. In the meantime LukeJr, and Kenny are agrueing over who put that tiny hole in the window, and there is John and Jesse talking about girls, and about that girl that Jesse went out with last night. Rebecca is asking Reba what is going between her and Cletus's son lately and she being rather quiet about the matter.

Reba is telling her that LukeJr.is in the same math class at her at they all know he is her cousin. And Rebecca says that is easy at least you didn't have both of your brothers in the same class as you in school. Reba is asking that must have been a pain in neck and how did you ever talk to anybody in class with both of your brother being in the same class as you.:P :P :P :P :P :D :wink: :roll: :lol: :D :-? :P :oops: :cry:

Now Lets sees there John, Jesse, LukeJr., Kenny, James, Anna Marie, RogerJr., Douglas, RoyJr. and that all the kids here. Oh, I forget there is Rebecca, Reba and Michelle as well. There sure alot kids here today. Big Jim sees Rosco getting out of his car and he surprized on many great-grandkids he has. And he asking do you remember twenty years ago that scare that Roy and Sally gave us, and what was the principal mad at him twenty years ago. And I wonder where was my cousin Roger at the time all of this was happening , This has always puzzled me and that right there and maybe I'll just ask him about twenty years ago. Big Jim says that it looks like LukeJr. and Kenny are agruing about something and neither wants to get blamed for that little hole in the window that Layla found before everybody got there. Rosco looks over there and just sighs , that is so typical because nobody did that over there. Big Jim says that did you know that Lisa Marie Presley is coming with her kids as well, oh ya that my cousin Elivis's daughter. You Know Rosco my son would be proud of what his kids has accomplished in their lives here today, I wish his and his wife could be here to see this right here. Oh Rosco, you didn't hear this from me but Reba is mad Luke Jr about something he did in math class earlier. You still remember when triplets were born and what kind excitement they caused around here, If remember right didn't Jesse accidently went for ride with you when he was two. Rosco is remembering that one and thinking that his parents sure was worried for Jesse that day.
Narrator:There sure alot of kids here today, only eight of them are Dukes and it looks like Bo is invited as well but he isn't here quite here yet.

Luke was looking forward to seeing his O'l Cousin Bo back he ain't seen him since Layla and him got married and Luke has been missing Bo lately.

Anyway Luke and Layla was sitting out on the backporch swing looking up at the stars .

Luke : I can't wait to see Bo later i wonder how he's been i ain't seen him since our wedding day honey.

Layla : And LukeJr was only 2 years old when Bo was here last , Kenneth was 3 our sons are hiding something from us i think it has something to do with that barn window .

Luke : (Laughing) c'mon it's a small thing i can always put in a new window you worry too much life is too short i sure miss Uncle Jesse :( :( :( i wish he was here i could you use his advice on why my wife left me but at least you was here.

Layla : Well C'mon honey let's go inside it's getting cold .

Bo meanwhile was on his way to Luke's house and he couldn't believe that his older cousin had finally settled down with someone .

Bo : I'm just so happy for Luke that he finally has found his soulmate he deserves to be happy after getting that divorce that nearly tore him up.

Luke Jr. Kenny and James are all excited as they see the General pulling in the driveway. John and Jesse was looking as welll, and Kenny is asking well maybe I could go ask Mom and Dad if I could drive Tilly seeing how nobody driving her right now. Jesse is looking right at his cousing when he had said that right there are asking him, if he knew what kind of car that Tilly is and it not a good idea for him to drive it around all casual like as if was a everyday car. John saids after Jesse says that car is a Runner car and it was used for running shine and if you drive that everywhere well the Sheriff will think that your Dad is up to his old tricks. Kenny says , it is just not fair why can't I drive that car is still runs.
Jesse: And how would you know that Kenny?
Kenny : Because, I borrowed the keys and started her up recently.
John: Your Dad is going to be mad at you, does he know he did that Kenny.
Kenny: No, he doesn't know it's secret.
James: I Bet dad would just love know this right here.
Kenny: James you little tattle tale, don't tell Mom and Dad..
James : Wanna Bet that I won't tell on You Kenny.
Luke Jr: Well If you did all that , don't think that you could just ask Dad about it then and what the car was for. I am sure he has some great old stories about that car.
Roy Jr: Oh Man, I heard that about you starting up Tilly I think I might tell Uncle Luke and Aunt Layla.
John: All of you kids aren't going to say on word about this right here. Uncle Luke doesn't want us to know that he still has Tilly right now.
Jesse: I wish I could have been a runner back in the day.
Roger :If must have been fun to run moonshine and outrunning the Law at every turn.
Douglas : I think it would have been dangerous guys.
Bo comes walking by the barn and overing his the boys talking about Tilly , and he hears Kenny admit that he borrrowed the keys and started her up and that she still runs as yet today. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Narrator: Why today is John Patrick III, Jesse James and Rebecca Mae's twentith birthday today. And that is what this little event is all about today. You see Layla and Luke and Big Jim planned this surprize Birthday party on them and they have the cover that it is family picnic and that is all. You see their birthday is also the same day as Big Jim and he is eighty-nine today, and he gets under Rosco's skin because he is still driving. Big Jim claims that twenty years ago today he got his grey hair, well when you find out what happen that day. Well, this was before the triplets were born and everything that happen is might have you wandering as well. There is a mysterious Green 1967 Dodge Charger with a handgun on the passenger seat and a sawed-off shotgun visible from the back window and a toolbox. And this here car is parked right downtown. I wander what is in the toolbox myself, well lets see them kids are agruing about what Kenny did you he looks like Layla folks and Luke Jr looks just his father and James looks like a fourteen year old version of his Great-grandfather. And then there this RogerJr. and Douglas Bobcat they are they sons of Sally O"neill and Roger Bobcat now Roger was nowhere to be found twenty years agos and lets sees what he has to say when somebody is to ask him about it and he is Rosco's cousin so to despite all that I would say that maybe Roger didn't want his cousin knowing exactly where he was twenty years ago folks. Well, if you didn't know that Nikki is expecting a baby and RoyJr well he is ten years old right now so he is might be a little jealous right now. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Now Bo was still listening and decided to drop by the boys and see their reaction, as he walks around the barn he notices that his nephews and their cousins were talking about something or another. We is asking Kenny how did Tilly do, it hasn't been driven in years, oh about not since 1979 or so. Oh how I can remember that incident , it was fun I even met a girl at the end of the whole thing. Kenny is looking isn't hasn't been driven since 1979, and he asking Bo is true that only Uncle Jesse drove Tilly. And Luke comes walking around, and surprises his sons and nephews and he says that it is true about only Uncle Jesse driving the car. Besides otherwise he drove that old white truck that you see in pictures, it was sad day to see that go. And he ask Kenny why do borrow the keys to Tilly in the first place, and why do want to drive it everywhere in the first place. Kenny says that I want to take Tilly and make a Lowrider and mad speakers put flames on the side of her and generally make her sparkle from one county line right down to the other county line, that all Dad. Bo is looking when he hears this, I guess that wouldn't hurt too much now, considering that we don't use this car anymore for first reason. Luke is looking at Kenny, and asking well who's going to do all the work to car. Kenny I was thinking if you wanted we could make it a father and son project and who knows what will happen when it is done. JohnIII, Jesse, Luke Jr, James, Roy Jr, Roger Jr and Douglas was just listening and they are thinking this sounding pretty cool. And Bo pops in with well I could help you out and maybe Cooter as well. John and Jesse says they help as well with the car, that sounds like a fine dandy project for that fine car over there. Luke walks away to and tells his son that he'll think about it and let him know about his decision on the car. Bo says that it looks my nephews are growing up here, and James you just like your Great-grandfather I could just imagine what you will do when you are sixteen years old.

This 1967 Dodge Charger that I had mentioned belong to a couple a gangsters and they stole it from somebody in the next county. They are looking for Big Jim , you see there a bit mad at him about something and they figure they getting revenge. But if only they could find the guy first all. You see in 1975 Big Jim retired from being a ATF agent, and they said he was the best in the field and apparently these guys blew up his with him in the car thirty years ago. He had survived and decided it would be best if he would retire and move down to Hazzerd, and nobody in the county knows that Big Jim is a retired ATF agent, and he never felt the need for telling anybody either. He didn't want anybody to know about his past so he just kept to himself.

Big Jim is talking to his grandsons after Bo and Luke walk away, and they are still talking about weather or not it would be fun to do one run just for fun of it. He remember when he was chasing moonshiners and they tried every trick they could think of him. He had landed in so many ponds that the rustproofing warranty was void, and he remembers when he had to talk his good buddy Ben Matlock about something in Atlanta. You see he knew the famous the Atlanta lawyer that knew was so good with Murder One cases. You might say they were on the same side most of time. He never told him grandkids that he had knew Ben Matlock, they just would want to meet him.

On the radio in the background the new Alan Jackson song "The Talkin Song Repair Blues" is playing and everybody seems to like the song. And Cooter is at the garage and he is thinking this song sounds like me, except I don't write songs for a hobby. I wander how many people is going to start kidding me about this song and If I had heard or not.

Layla is asking Luke and Bo do you guys remember what happened twenty years ago, because maybe the kids want to know about it, they're all been asking everybody about it. And it seems that Grandpa don't want to talk about it and it seems it would be more accurate if one of you's have told them what with help from me. I still can't believe what Roy did and where was Roger and Siesta that day after all. You know that Roger and Siesta are still friends to this day even though through everything they still keep in touch. I had even invited Siesta over for the surprize birthday party as well, why I don't know why I did that for to this day. Luke you remember that Black Cadilac that Roger had it look like a beat up version of Boss Hogg's car. And by the way Boss Hogg isn't invited today but I did invite Enos, Cletus and Rosco because they did get involved twenty years agos.

[Julieduke]

Layla says to Luke you honey I haven't invite everybody from the O'neill and Duke side of the family. But when question why didn't you ever tell me about Coy, Vance, Garrett and Jeb Stuart it always puzzled but anyways I had found their current address's on the internet and sent them invites to the triplets surprized birthday party. I was thinking what does Garrett look like and nobody ever talks about ever, and oh Enos and Daisy are invited as well.
Big Jim is asking how many people are you inviting to this little party, besides are you going to have enough food, for everybody.
Layla: I am making some Uncle Jesse's famous BBQ, and a Peach Pie enough Ice tea for everybody. And bought some Apple Cider for the Party Grandpa.
Big Jim: I just hope you got enough for everybody to eat at the Party. You didn't touch any Uncle Jesse special recipe at all, besides I am just asking that's all.
Layla : What Recipe are talking about Grandpa?
Luke: Then she didn't find the recipe then.
Layla : What are you talking about Luke?
Luke: I'll tell ya later , Layla,
Layla: Does this recipe have anything to do with Moonshine Luke?
Luke: How did you guess, about that?
Layla: Just a lucky guess, besides everybody in towns and everybody you know talks about what you Uncle used to make at one time. And Besides I might have read your file from almost thirty years ago. '
Luke : Then you knew what your Grandpa was hinting at the whole time , and didn't tell him that you had Knew. You are getting more sneaky the more you are around me then.
'Layla: You know I think if Uncle Jesse was still around he would have loved this party for the triplets?
Luke: Ya, I think so to Layla.. :P :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Roger and Roy is talking about Twenty years ago, and what happened with that Kate and her friends. Roys is asking where RogerSr. was when everything was happening and Roy thinks that Roger just doesn't want to tell him right now and that there is too it. Roger goes to explain you see when first scene those three with Luke and the General had the accident. Well, I was on the other side with a flat tire and I had seen what was going on and radio my cousin on to what was going on. Roy is asking if you was on the otherside why didn't you do more to help Luke out then, and Roger is looking at him I was busy with a flat tire at the time Roy!
Roger explains after I had changed the tire on my Cadillac, I had seen them three leaving and Bo and Daisy was on there way and I had followed those three in that Chevy they driving.. But I didn't want to realize that I was following so I had taken a short cut and seeing how I think I took a wrong turn ended up in the Hazzerd Swamp that day Roy.

Roy is looking at Roger and asking why didn't you ever tell or radio Bo and Daisy to where you was twenty years ago. And why didn't you ever tell Luke as to what you saw back then and he just says that I don't know Roy. You know I was just eighteen years old then, and nobody ever listen to me then and still people do that do me in this county. :lol: Besides now with O'Neill Racing Enterprizes Sally lets me know that is her family business with her brothers and Sister that I have no say in what goes on. Roy ya, I know my father set it up that way as to not to pass down to the spoused , just his grandkids. He was smart thirty years ago with that plan, I had heard it was my grandfather money that helped get O'Neill Racing Enterprise going from Layla. Roger ask Roy if he is sure about that right there, and Roy said that one time after that big thing when I was me and Sally was mending he had told us about how he got the money together and for us not to tell anybody else. Because our father didn't want us to know about his father helping him out about,. he didn't even tell our mother Roger. It looks like Big Jim can keep a real good secret then Roy, ya I'll say.

[Julieduke]

Roy I do remember seeing somebody else around at the time and that he looked like Bo. Roy is looking at Roger when he tells him
Roy: Oh, you mean Coy Duke.
Roger: No, not him looked just like Bo.
Roy: I don't think he has a brother Roger.
Roger: Are you sure he doesn't have a brother, Roy.
Roy: Ya, I know the whole Duke family and never known Bo to mention a Brother. Now, Luke had a brother but something happened but not Bo.
Roger : You know this as alway puzzled me for twenty years.
Roy: Hey, Layla does Bo have a brother.
Layla: Why whos asking?
Roger : Well twenty years ago I thought I had seen somebody that looked just like Bo.

Nikki had gotten some time by herself, so she had opened the letter she had got from Cleveland,Ohio it had contained why it took so long for them to find it. And finally a copy of her original birth certifacte and she pulled it out and unfolded it out and began to read to had said that she was born on the day she knew as birthday in 1975. She was surprized when she had read who her parents were MotherKATHERINE McCORMICK and father JAMIE LEE HOGG it had said they were both sixteen years old when she was born and that she was born Nicole Ann Hogg. She was surprized that her adoptive parents kept the same name her birth parents had given here. How she going to tell Roy and anybody else about this. She had thought she would keep it secret that she knew who her birth parents were from her Husband and son and her parents. She had heard of the name Hogg by her family and usually nothing good attached with it so she had wondered why didn't she get into trouble then. She expecially didn't tell Big Jim about this either she doesn't if he would just blab all of this all over the countty. He really didn't like the Hogg's as well so that wouldn't be a good idea either, she had hoped that she never have a reason to seek them out for Medical information so she had folded up the piece of paper and put both back in the envelope she didn't know that her Roy Jr, was listening to her read the piece of paper to herself. Nikki had came back out and had seen that everybody was around, and she said that she quite hot for a spell there but she was feeling better now. Roy was over there talking with Roger about something she had wondered what he was talking about, but she didn't bother to go ask what they was talking about. She had remember that the county commioner name was Jefferson Davis Hogg she had wondered how she was related to him and if she was related to him. She had heard alot of things about Boss Hogg through Luke and his cousin Julie and expecially alot from Layla her sister-in-law. She had wondered is she was raised by Jamie Lee Hogg and Katherine McCormick would things be different for her now, and would have she met Roy O'Neill as well.

[Garrett Duke]

***I have changed Garrett Duke's age and past to make him fit into the story...but ONLY for THIS story. He is twenty years older, in this story, than what he is normally in my stories...so that he will be the same age as Bo is in this story -since they are twins. Thank-you.***

Disbelief smoothly runs through Garrett as he stares hopelessly at the thin piece of paper that he had recieved in the mail the other day. He didn't believe what he read when he had opened the envelope and he still has a hard time believing. After all these years, the people from his past, has reached out to him; inviting him to Big Jim's birthday party. Old memories flood through him as he rereads the invitation, an invitation welcoming him back to Hazzard and back to his family.

It had been twenty years since he had last been to Hazzard, been surrounded by family. Back then, he had ran wild and free around Hazzard, chasing girls and racing cars; which had led him to trouble with both the law and with his family. Garrett sighs as doubt and regret rushes through him. The last time he had saw Big Jim was at Jesse's farm house at a birthday party for Uncle Jesse; a birthday party that had turned bad. Big Jim and him hadn't been getting along ever since Garrett found a new set of friends that Jim or any of the family had highly disapproved of; friends that have been known to rob stores and start violent fights.

"What's wrong, honey?" Andrea's soft gentle voice breaks the silence in the stuffy room, bringing an gentle touch to Garrett's tense shoulders. After a brief moment of silence, she leans over to read what he he is looking at. "What are you invited to?"

"A birthday party for Big Jim...in Hazzard," Garrett slowly replies, his voice soft and unsteady as his mind revisits the past. Big Jim and Garrett had seemed to have an understanding of eachother through all of Garrett's life...up until he began running around with his new friends.

"In Hazzard?" Andrea questions, raising a soft sandy blond eye brow, looking at her husband in concern, "That's great! That's what you've been wanting...isn't it?"

"Yeah it is," Garrett sighs as he hears their two year old son cry out from his room before fading back into silence.

"But what?" Andrea hugs Garrett supportively, while waiting patiently for an answer, "That is all you talk about...Hazzard. Of wanting to go back, of your family, of the adventures you had there. This is your chance."

"My chance," Garrett snorts as he thinks of his last day in Hazzard, of everyone's angry faces glaring at him at Jesse's party. At the hurt and almost hatred that shone in Jim's eyes towards him, Jesse clearly showed his disappointment. Now that Jesse's dead, he has no way of apologizing to him, or to say how much he cared for Jesse. He even refused to attend to his funeral out of guilt and anger towards himself. "I can't go...I can't face them after what I did."

"You were young and stupid," Andrea smiles, her soft green eyes sparkle in love and understanding towards Garrett, "we all were at that age."

"Not as stupid as I was. Jim's best friend, Al Gupert," Garrett slowly answers staring out the small window that hangs over the TV set, glaring through the tall buildings that loom around their apartment building, "had this brand new truck that he took so much care of...specialized over the darn thing. It was a Chevy and bright red...it was the newest thin in Hazzard...Harley and Lance decided to take it on a joy ride -"

"A couple of them trouble making friends of yours?" she asks caringly and Garrett slowly nods in agreement.

"They never gave it back...I drove thier old beat up truck while they drove Al's new truck," Garrett shudders at the memory, of the hatred it had given him, "Big Jim and everyone had suspicion of who it was that stole the truck...as did Al, but Al refused to push it farther...knowing who I am."

"That's what the whole fight was over," she shakes her head, "my husband the truck theif ...twenty years retired."

"More than that...I hurt family," Garrett shakes his head as he continues to remember the confrontation at the old farm house, between his cousins and him, between his brother and him, and of course between Big Jim and Uncle Jesse and him. "I hurt them and then ran with the so-called friends I had made. After they heard that they knew it was them...they decided to run and I decided then that they were more important than the ones that raised me, the ones that was there for me from the beginning. " Garrett pauses struggling to surpass the emotions that run wildly within him, "No, after all that I have done to them, I don't think I can go back. I can't face them and their anger, the hurt I caused them."

"Stop blaming yourself...they're over it, so why don't you get over it?" Andrea stares boldly at him, crossing her thin arms across her chest, "Well, they must be over your little tiff or else they wouldn't be inviting you. Would they?"

Garrett shrugs as he allows the guilt to run within him, guilt that he has managed to control; up until now. "I don't know why they're inviting me. Big Jim pretty much made it clear that he didn't want anything more to do with me," Garrett shrugs, "I gave them a call after they had gotten arrested that night and he said he didn't want to deal with the likes of me after what I had done. It wasn't the truck, but me walking out on them the way I did. Abandoning family without a word. I hurt a lot of people."

"Well things happen for a reason," Andrea smiles at him as she slowly takes a seat in an rocker before running her thin hand through her thin sandy brown hair that is held up in a pony tail, "if you hadn't left Hazzard with them, we would never have met and we wouldn't have the life we have now. You'd be in Hazzard and I'd be here all alone."

"Well that's the good part of the whole deal," Garrett forces a smile at her as his mind shifts gears, wondering about the invitation.

Andrea goes silent as their two year old rumbles through the baby monitor that she carries with her before going back to softly snoring. "I think you should go...no, you are going. I am not going to have an arguement from you," she grins up at him before standing up, giving him her no-nonsense look, "You're going. You want to go, you've talked about Hazzard ever since I met you. Talked about going back ever since Sam was born...so now is your chance and you are going to take it. You can go alone or you can take us with you...it is your choice. But you are going."

Garrett goes to argue until being silenced by Andrea's authoritive glare, demanding not to be argued with. "OK I'll go...and I'll take you and Sam with me," a small smile flashes upon his tense face, "show you two where I was raised at...show all that I talked about."

"Great let's get packing," she nods walking towards the door way, "we got a lot of driving ahead of us tonight if we want to make it there in time."

"Tonight? It'll take two hours, we could go tomorrow -"

"Nope we're leaving whenever Sam wakes up from his nap and when Keifer gets home from school," she grins up while hugging her rounded belly, "the sooner we get there to explore and meet people the better things will be at the party. Besides we still need to get a birthday present."

"You know," Garrett leans over to hug and give her soft kiss on the lips, "I love you."

"Even if I'm eight months pregnant and huge,"she grins.

"Even then," Garrett nods as he leads his wife up to their room to begin to pack for their trip.

Luke, Jr. couldn't believe what Kenny was doing. He was asking for it. So he decided to make sure that Kenny at least knew how he felt. He walked over to him and said, "You know, it's your life. And if you want to ruin it with the first pretty face you see, that's your problem. But you're gonna be sorry. Believe me, I know Tequila. And she doensn't love you, Kenny."
"You don't know her!" Kenny protested, anger flashing in his eyes. "She's changed. She's not like that anymore!"
"Kenny, don't you see! Do you know how many people she's told that same bull to?"
Kenny shook his head. "Listen. I'm old enough to make my own decisions. I don't need you telling me what to do. You're not my father! Why do you have to act like you are?"
Luke, Jr. was quickly getting tired of this. "You know what, fine! If you want to ruin your life with that girl, you go right ahead." He angrily turned and stormed out the door.
Kenny waited until he knew Luke was gone to head out to his Buick Grand National.

Kenny forgets about Rosco's favortite speedtrap and rolls by going 85 miles per hout, he lets the engine unwind on his car. And then he sees that Rosco is right behing him trying to get him to pull over.

RoyJr. You know my mom and dad are expecting twins girls, and they are going to name them "Scarlet and Dixie Dawn" what do you think of that. And by the way my mom was reading her letter from Cleveland,Ohio and it said that her birth parents are"Jamie Lee Hogg and Katherine McCormick" And my dad got traded to the Cleveland Browns , I don't think I going to like Cleveland,Ohio.It snow up there and it gets so cold you got have a coat and boots, gloves, hats , scarves and etc.
Kenny: Did you say " Jamie Lee Hogg and Katherine McCormick" was your mom's birth parents RoyJr..
RoyJr,: Ya, sure but what does Birth parents mean Kenny?
Kenny: I'll explain later, right now I got more important things right now.
Kenny gets back on the cb and tells Luke that RoyJr, is with him in his car , in case his parents was worried about him. He just heard a bunch of stuff from his cousin Roy, if his biological Grandfather was Jamie Lee Hogg, then Roy is related to Boss Hogg. This was alot to thing about right now.

[Julieduke]

Just after he was done about to talk to Luke about this he realized that his mike was still on the Sheriff heard what he had just said about him and Roy Jr. He probaly also heard that RoyJr was in the car as well and everything the kid had said about his parents . Kenny was thinking that he was going to yelled at by his Aunt Nikki and Uncle Roy now, but he could always blame it on his cousin because they would believe him about this right here.

[Julieduke]

Kenny was driving his Grand National down South Abernathy rd. and Roy Jr. had snuck along wtih him he knew where he was going and he wasn't going tell his cousin where he was going so he just didn't tell him anything. Kenny was on his way to pick up Tequila and she just happened to live on South Abernathy rd, it was about time that family had met Tequila alreadry. He didn't care what people thought about his girl she was and him was in love. Roy Jr, had told him that there was a Green Charger following them for quite a while and they lost the sheriff. Kenny had made a few turns to try and lose the green charger but the car kept right behind and he couldn't even shake whoever was driving. he kept wandering who was behind him and boy they must be goo he can't get rid of them. Little did he know that it was somebody that his family knew quite well and but he wanted to know who it was today. Kenny decided he would step on the brakes and make whoever was following stop.

Cue Garrett

[Garrett Duke]

Emotions swarm thickly through Garrett as he stares in disbelief at the green road sign reading that Hazzard lies only five miles ahead. "Five more miles," Garrett slowly speaks up to break through the thick silence that had grown in his built muscle car.

"I'm so excited to meet your family," Andrea almost seems to jump in her seat as she turns to face her husband, "and see where you grew up at... what you always talk about."

Garrett nods silently as his mind winds back into the past once again, of growing up in Hazzard County, of all the fun times he had over the years. His guilt seems to grow within him as his thoughts wind up into the fight they had at Jesse's birthday party, thinking of all the hard feelings he had left with. "They might not feel the same way," Garrett slowly speaks up again, his throat going dry, "after the fitht and how I left. I'd be surprised if they'd even talk to me again...I'm surprised they invited me!"

"Oh don't talk that way," Andrea says besides him as she checks upon the kids in the back seat, "that was a long time ago and people change and people forgive over the years. I am sure Big Jim is anxious to see you."

"After stealing his truck," Garrett starts as the street leading into Hazzard comes up and he takes a swift turn upon the dirt road, "I doubt it."

"Well they wouldn't have invited you if they thought he was still mad at you," Andrea answers stubbornly besides him.

"Yeah, but -"

"Are we there yet?" Keifer quickly interrupts Garrett from the backseat, impatience dripping from each word, "I'm bored."

"I can tell," Garrett responds sarcastically, "we packed you along plenty to do, but to answer your question, yes we are almost there. You will get to see family you have never saw before."

"Oh fun," Keifer responds, his sarcasm matching his father's.

"Keifer John Duke!" Garrett snaps as his anger rises within him, "You haven't even met them yet...save your rude comments until afterwards when you see how they are!"

"Yes sir," Keifer's voice quiets down as Sam girgles in his sleep for a few moments.

"Here we are," Garrett slowly says as they pass an old farm house while hills surround them in the distance, up ahead an white steeple forms from a small town. "Welcome to Hazzard Co -" Garrett slowly cuts himself off as an expensive Buick passes them by. "That's Kenny!"

"See? We should have came down a long time ago," Andrea smiles in the passenger seat, "where are we going?"

"Uh," Garrett slowly says as he watches Kenny's car go down the dusty road, "how about the farm? Show you where Jesse lived...you would have loved ol' Jesse. He was a great man."

"I can tell," Andrea slowly says, "by how you talk about him."

Kenny had wondered who that was he drove right by, he figured it was Uncle Bo besides he has never met Garrett(Bo's Twin before). Roy asked who was that went right by us, and can we talk to him on the radio Kenny. Kenny tells Roy sure lets find out who I cut off anyways here. Roy jad asked Kenny what handle should I use, and Kenny tells him to make one up, so Roy decide to us Grand One.
Kenny grabs the mike from Roy, and says " This Kenny here, it that you Lost Sheep 2"
Roy : Who is Lost Sheep One ,. Kenny"
Kenny: Uncle Bo that's who I think?
Roy: Boy, I am glad one of us knows what we are doing today."
Kenny: What was that Roy, wasn't it you who came along without asking me first.
Roy: Uh, ya!
Kenny: Lets see if that isn't Uncle Bo, it might be his twin Garrett.
Roy: One question how do you tell them apart?
Kenny: I don't know myself!

Layla is asking Luke if he knows when Kenny is going to get home, and what he is he going to say about. Layla tells Luke you remember when I told you that in 75 my Grandpa retired from being a ATF agent. I think you just looked and said nothing too him or me fro a week or more. I especially loved your Uncle's reaction he just said nothing and went about what he was doing on the farm. You Know Luke you says LukeJr. is the most like you but what about Kenny he has one short fuse if you know what I mean by that. But why did RoyJr, tag along with him and he did seem too happy about when he found out he with him. Did you see why brother pacing outside and not saying anything at all, I know that look and I think he is madder that Nikki. You Know RoyJr, is jealous about the babies coming and that is why he did that and is the only reason that I can think of right now. Before his Mother told him about the twins being girls and then there is the issue of his father being traded to the Cleveland Browns. He has alot on his mind right now maybe that why he tagged along with Kenny, I think maybe we should just wait till him and Kenny get back from wherever they went.

Kenny is still driving down South Abernathy and still wandering who is in the Green Charger that is still following him yet. He is thinking to himself this guy is harder than ever to lose around it is has if he lived her before. Roy is asking Kenny how come that Green car is still following you, I thought you knew how to drive around this county. Kenny sees Bo in the General going right by him , and figures who he cut off eariler was that was his twin Garrett. Roy says who was that in that orange car that went by us eariler he tells that is Bo Duke. He hasn't been around here for a long time now and it was kind of rude of me to cut him off, he still has the General Lee. Roy is asking what or who is the General Lee. Kenny tells that car he was driving is the General Lee and around here that car is a bit of a legend and it still looks good yet.
Cut Garrett

[Garrett Duke]

"What was that?" Keifer asks from the back seat in between slurps from his fruit punch juice box, "Who was that?"

"Uh I don't know," Garrett slowly answers as he looks down at his old CB. He had put the CB in the car before leaving Hazzard, when he had built the car, and hadn't used it since he last left the old farm house. "It was someone on the CB calling out to someone."

"You still have that dang thing hooked up?" Andrea asks fromt he passenger seat as she plays silently with Sam behind Garrett, "I figured it was just there for looks."

"Pretty much," Garrett shrugs as he sharply turns the corner, "I haven't used it since leaving Hazzard last. Use to use it all the time..."

Garrett goes silent as the old farm house quickly comes into view as he follows the sharp curve in the road. Sharp flashbacks flood through him as he stares in awe at the old place. "There's the Duke farm," Garrett slowly speaks up pointing towards it, "Almost the way I remember it being."

"That?" disbelief fills Keifer's bored voice, "We are going to be in that shack? That's what you're ex -"

"That's where I grew up at," Garrett quickly cuts him off, "it isn't much, but there's a lot of love in that place. I remember sitting with Uncle Jesse on the front porch while Bo and Luke worked on their car. Or fighting with Bo on the porch. Or the games we played or just talking."

"We're here!" Andrea says excitedly in the passenger seat, "So tell me, Garrett. How similar are you to Bo? Y'all being twins and all?"

Garrett remains silent as he pulls into the crowded dirty drive way while his mind remains in the past, in pleasant memories. "More differences than similarities really," Garrett slowly responds, "He's taller, I'm more muscular, his hair is brighter and thicker than mine. He has blue eyes I have gray eyes...he has an innocent quality about him, where as me...well you get the drift. He'd be the one wanting to please Jesse while I was the one to give Jesse a hard time...I use to pick on Bo like nothing else." Garrett laughs silently as he parks his old Mustang while watching shadows move beyond the windows, "Luke was protective of him so then me and him would fight. Damn...it was more like Luke was his brother than what I was."

"Well let's go meet your family," Andrea smiles at him while patting his leg to break the silence, "and to see all that you have talked about."

"It's about time," Garrett replies as he opens the door to step out in the chilly air.

(Cue Julie)

Luke and Layla see Garrett get out of his old Mustang, and they see Andrea who looks just like Nikki and they can't believe either can Garrett or Roy. Sam comes running out and James just sighs to himself" Oh, great more little kids around here." Layla says hello to Garrett and Andrea and there kids and Roy and Nikki come up and says hi. And Roys says" I can't believe how much our wifes look like twins." Nikki is talking to Andrea and they talking about their pregancys and everything that their going through.

Luke is talking with his cousin and heres a car pulling and it his Big Jim and Uncle Jesse's marine buddy Ben Matlock and he sees everybody and just as to talk Roy O'Neill the best player for the Falcons they got.

As Andrea and Nikki was talking they find out that there sons were born at the same day at they very same time. And they both married to twins, and that they have more ways alike that they figured on at one time. Nikki is asking Andrea when her birthday is she is a little shocked when she finds out the same day as her in the very same city as here. Garrett is wandering what wife and Roy's wife is comparing notes on and he can't believe how much they look alike. Luke is joking with him , and tells he better be careful not to take home the wrong wife in a few days when they leave. Luke tells Garrett that I think they are twins are something and they are so identical unlike you and Bo for Looks. Garrett asks is that true about Roy jumping on that guy twenty years ago, to hear Roy tells I tend to think he fibbing on this story. But when he told what he did the Principals car I tend to think of some the stuff that I used to do when i was younger.

[Julieduke]

Kenny was still on his way to Tequila house, and yes RoyJr. was with him and by now Luke was telling Garret what he had from LukeJr and James and about what he could figure what was troubling his middle son. Garret had said that sounds about normal and had mention he had heard something Papa El Gringo and his son Siesta El Gringo and that they had Chop Shop somewhere in the county. He had wondered if it still in business yet. He had mentioned that Boss Hogg had been covering for the El Gringo for years from what he had heard about what was going on. Luke had said that years and years ago, that Siesta had liked the General Lee and kept casing the car. It had made him nervous and also made Bo nervous about the way Siesta had like their car so well. But Luke said it not right to say that Tequila is doing the same thing as her father, he had said it would be like Rosco saying LukeJr and Kenny was doing what him Bo did when they was younger and just wouldn't be fair for them to judge Tequila before they even met her in person. Kenny was pulling up to Tequila house and he had parked his Grandnational had opened the door and told RoyJr, to watch the car for him and when Tequila gets her let her have the front seat and that he would appreciate that out of him. And that after all that they headed back to his parents place so everybody could meet Tequila once for all. Tequila had got in the Grandnational said hi to RoyJr, and she was asking so all your family is going to be at your Great-Grandpa's birthday party. Tequila had said that she picked up something from her and her Dad, that her dad what be able to make to party after all. He had some business in Altanta to attend and he had said that it was rather important that he go to the city. Tequila had grabbed the seat Belt and so Kenny and also RoyJr, she had said that if Rosco gets you for speeding he can't get for no seat belt. Kenny had said thanks to her and they taken off for the Duke farm, somehow this would prove LukeJr all wrong and he will have to take back what he had said about Tequila. After Luke Jr, is just jealous that Tequila dumped him and was going with Kenny that is all. Besides why does he have to act like he is his father all the time anyways , just because he was oldest son doesn't mean a thing. If he wanted to settle this the old-fashion way when he got well he do it, he knows that their parents wouldn't approve of them fighting but if it came down to that. Well, then he'll see if is brother is up after all.
Narrotor: This doesn't sound good betwen LukeJr, and Kenny and is sounds like Kenny ain't letting this drop at all between him his brother. All this For Tequila is she really worth fighting his brother over this right here.

Just as Kenny was pulling he seen the Mustang that he cut off and he has seen that his Godfather was there "Garrett" his Mom says he more like him his dad. About a year ago he had teased his mom is she sure he ain't his dad, he got snacked by Layla after he said promptly. Because she got along with Bo but not too well with Garret he always gave her a hard time about being a deputy. Bo never gave her as a hardtime as Garret did and she had just figured that they complete opposite's for twins. Sure they both had the blonde hair but they had different shades and different eye colors and Garret was built differently then Bo. Somebody would've to be blind to say they looked identical for looks, she figures that Garret had crush on her and he had wanted to ask her out but always figure she would say no if he ever did ask her out. Layla still couldn't believe that Andrea and Nikki looked so much alike , they even had they same due day about their baby's as well. Her and Sally were completely different for sisters , she never did see what she saw in Rodger Douglas Bobcat. That kid drove her crazy and of course twenty years ago, she wasn't allowed to give him a speedy ticket on the Sheriff's order. Layla had declared that she was going to run for Sheriff in the next Sheriff's election it would be a first in the history of Hazzerd County. The first female Sheriff that county as ever had in over two hundred years and she had her mind set on and nothing could change her mind. And she wasn't going to listen to what Boss Hogg wanted covered up so neatly, she was going to be a honest Sheriff. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Luke is thinking to himself, so this Tequila that girl that his sons were fighting about eariler before everything. Garret says to his wife, that girl is just trouble just waiting to happen and it looks like Kenny has fallen for her hard. Oh by the way, Kenny is my Godson and he I haven't seen him since he was little. Andrea notices that Kenny looks like Layla alot, and that he seems upset about something but wasn't quite sure about what it is. Kenny is looking at Garret's Mustang, he had heard from his dad that Garret had built that car himself. And gathering from what he had just saw of this car he was definitly impressed by the car himself.

Tequila is introduced by Kenny to his family members, and she meets his Mom and Dad. She says that she knows her mom being a deputy in this county. Tequila is asking that she had heard that she thinking of running for Sheriff in this county. Layla says that she wants to first tell the
Sheriff that she is going to run, instead of just springing on him like a big surprize and everything. Tequila is seeing how that would be better and t would be good to have female Sheriff. Luke is asking what does your dad do lately around the county. Tequila explains that he just runs a scrapyard and no he doesn't have a chop shop behind the fence , she explains that everything still thinks that still has yet to this day. I know why dad ticked some people in the county and stole some pretty nice cars in his past. But he doesn't do that anymore and that her grandfather is his business partner with the scrapyard right now. Luke said that it hard for people to believe that your father has changed over the years. But my own family used to run moonshine but my Uncle Jesse stopped doing that years ago and never again to he ever go back to his old ways. Tequila explains that LukeJr. seems not to like for some unknown reason, and seems like John and Jesse are always looking out for their cars lately around here, but I did hear next week their going to Iraq. Luke says that they will be missed around Hazzerd County they were born the same day that everything happened Twenty years ago so their arrival changed what everybody was thinking about that day. Kenny explains that John and Jesse seems a little will right now but they are young and maybe after two years from now they will be settle down a little bit. Luke was thinking about some of the things his nephews had did and it reminded him of his younger days around here.

James came over and was asking Tequila what she up to right now, and she said you are as bad as your brother LukeJr, and ever I had broken up with he has been thinking I had something to do with it. Tequila says" James you and RoyJr look amazingly alike for cousins, everybody ever tell you that before that."
Kenny had just noticed his brother and cousin did look alike , but they looked like their Great-Grandpa O'Neill that what it was. Big Jim had seen Tequila was here and he had thought she up to something but he didn't say anything to anybody and just went about his business and things like that. Big Jim had asked Tequila where her father was today, she had told him that he was in Atlanta on business something with the business but he has said for me to go today. Big Jim had asked how her grandpa was doing, and she had said that he had went to that meeting as well , but he said to say hi to ya. RoyJr. and Keifer was around the same age, and they was getting along pretty good and mostly just teasing everybody else. RoyJr. had said to Keifer do you want to see something Uncle Luke don't want anybody knowing about and they both walked over to the barn where Tillie was and RoyJr, had picked up the tarp on the old Ford sedan. Keifer had seen the beatiful Black car and had a idea what that car was used for from what his had told about his family . And just then RoyJr , and Keifer had heard heard somebody coming around the barn. RoyJr, had wandered who could it be now and was him and his new friend going to be in trouble for snooping in this barn.

Just after John III and Jesse come walking up as well and is amazed at the car that their cousins are looking at and just asking is that what I think that is right there.

"Oh my gosh dad!" Keifer yells breathlessly as quickly runs into the kitchen from the front porch, his bright blue eyes are widen with excitment. "Roy was just showing me this car...it is awesome dad. You'd love it!"

"I would, would I?" Garrett quietly asks as he stares sullenly through the small window that hangs over the kitchen sink. "Let me guess....Ol' Tillie?"

"Aw man," Keifer hits the pockets of his jeans in disappointment, "how you guess that, dad?"

"Easy...you came from the barn," Garrett slowly turns to face his son as old memories flood through him, "Ol' Tillie was Uncle Jesse's shine running car...everyone around here knew about her. It is an awesome car...that's where Jesse use to keep her in between runs."

"Oh," Keifer silently answers as his excitement seems to deflate instantly, "I have to admit, it is better here than what I thought it would be."

"I figured you'd like it here if you gave it much of a chance," Garrett smiles down at him as he hears his youngest son cry out from the living room, quickly followed by Andrea's soothing voice.

"So," Keifer quietly speaks up as he sits down on one of the large kitchen chairs, "if you like it so much, why you leave for?"

Garrett watches his son for a long silent moment as he struggles on what to say to him to answer his questions. "Because," Garrett slowly starts out, "I was really stupid when I was younger...did some really stupid things and made some stupid choices."

"Like what?" Keifer asks from his chair while watching his dad with inquistive eyes.

"I really don't want to talk about it," Garrett abruptly answers as he listens to the people in the liviing room getting ready for the party, "other than to say that I am surprised that they even invited me after all I've done to them. . .even talk to me after all I did."

"Isn't it you who says I should forgive others?" Keifer questions as he stands up from the table, "Maybe they chose to forgive you."

Garrett shrugs heavily while watching his son. "If that is the case," he slowly speaks up, "I don't deserve it."

Ben Matlock come ups and says hi to Garret and his son and his family. Ben says" You know I haven't seen you since that whole thing in Atlanta, and you have stayed out of trouble ever since right." Keifer asks his dad what the older guy is talking about and how he knows him, Ben says that your Uncle Jesse would be proud of you two boys and another baby on the way. I always gets this confused now are you the one that drove that orange Charger around this county and doing all this fool stunts around town and making the Sheriff mad all the time. Keifer is again curious as to what the older man was talking about again, and ask his dad if he is ever going to a chance to see his Uncle Bo and that orange Dodge he is talking about right now.

Garrett glances down at Keifer with understanding eyes before looking back up at Ben. "Naw, that'd be Bo," Garrett smiles as he recalls the last time he had seen Ben, "I had the Mustang...the one I have yet today."

"Dad," Keifer pleas, "What orange car? Why would anyone be stupid enough to color a car orange?"

"Stupid? You calling your Uncle Bo stupid?" Garrett smiles at Keifer as he nods at Ben to turn to Keifer, "That was the only color of paint ol' Cooter had in his garage when they built The General. General Lee as they called her. Uncle Bo's and Luke's stock car."

"Damn that car ran like a charm too," Ben smiles down at the boy, "everyone in town new it by name and everything...sure did attract the law though."

"The law?" Keifer asks hanging on Garrett's jeans.

"Yeah, eh," Garrett begins, "the law wasn't the law we all know back home...here the law was corrupt and it was up to us Dukes to stand up for Hazzard and to fight the law."

"Y'all did a good job as I recall," Ben smiles, "it never got boring here."

"That's for damn sure," Garrett agrees, "hey let's go see if we can find Uncle Bo...I don't think you have ever got to see him."

"Yay!" Keifer yells, "And his car?"

"We'll see, you'll have to ask him that," Garrett replies, "Hey Ben, you know where Bo is? Luke?"

Ben Matlock was looking forward to seeing Bo again, to had been to long since he had talked to Bo Duke last night. Ben had remember the last time he had talked to Bo was at Jesse's funeral and that where was Big Jim at he never did know why that stuck he was the thinest of the three of them but it just did.

Keifer is just talking with his dad and Ben Matlock when Garrett's Yellow Mustang pulls out of the Dukes drive with Tequila behind the wheel. Her father had said when she had seen a car that looked good to be stolen just take and drive it like you stole. And she had just did that, feeling bad about using Kenny and his friendship , you he had fell for her real and now he is going to get the blame for this right here. But she didn't care about that, Garrett had this coming to him for a long time and now the time was right. She had buzzed by Bo in the General Lee and by Speed Trap two as well by now she was up eighty-five miles per hour and getting faster as she went along. Keifer sees this happened and tells his dad that the car is gone with Tequila driving it and that what he is he going to do about this now. By now, Luke, Layla, LukeJr, Kenny and James and seen what had happed along with Ben Matlock and they couldn't beleive what had happened by now. That Tequila had some nerve taking a car with this many people around to see it happend, well this is like a robbing a bank with a news crew around from the local tv station around. John III and Jesse had seen what had happened as well, it wasn't too many people who hadn't see what just happened around here. Tequila was having a ball by now and nothing was going to stop her when she had seen somebody in the rearview window and wandered who that was and they coming up pretty close to her. So she had just went faster hoping to lose here down this next little rode and sure enough they was keeping up with her after all this. What was she going to do, so she figured that she would just keep cool about the whole thing going on right now.
Narrator: Did you figure Tequila to take Garret's Mustang after all what she had said about her family not doing this and keeping the straight. That one tricky and the whole time playing with the emotions on Kenny in the whole thing as well.
Cue Garret

[Garrett Duke]

Emotions continually flood through Garrett as he stares through an open window, quietly watching his family communicating with one another. It had been years since he had last been to the old farm house, been years since he has been in Hazzard to see his family. Last time he was here was when Jesse had gotten upset with him, yelling at him in front of everyone about his friend's stolen car. If only he had the wise sense to stay away from Jordan and Theo and had kept with the family he would have most likely stayed in Hazzard. Stuck with home and family as it had been before Jordan and Theo showed up in their fancy stock car and had invited him into their gang of friends. Garrett had eagerly joined them, excited to be welcomed into a new circle of friends; friends who weren't afraid to get into trouble, to have fun.

Yet if he didn't fall into temptation he would never have met Andrea and wouldn't have such great kids as Sam and Keifer. He wouldn't have the life he has now, the life he has loved since finding Andrea.

Quietly he measures his life with what he has now compared to what may have been if he had remained away from Jordan and kept with family. The anger and hatred that had been directed towards him after all he had done with Jordan and Theo was harsh, worse after they stole Jesse's best friend's brand new truck. It was surely too great to remain in Hazzard, Garrett would never be forgiven. Especially for the fight he had with BO and Luke when Jordan had spray painted the General with words of hatred. Garrett had stuck up for them and in turn got the beating that should have been directed at Theo and Jordan. Garrett had refused to spray paint his name on the orange stock car, knowing that his cousins were not the ones to be messed with.

Now he had his own family while discarding the family that had helped him become the person who he was today. Surely not with his decisions, but helped by giving him strength and support with everything else he had done. Luke and Bo even helped him get started on the Mustang, helped him buy it and working on it. And he had repaid their love and support by causing trouble across Hazzard with his new friends, crossing them and their friends. He didn't deserve to be here today with his family, didn't deserve to be called a Duke. Didn't deserve the respect that his family was giving him today.

"Dad!" Keifer's excited voice quickly interrupts his thoughts as his son's light footsteps run quickly towards him, coming to an abrupt halt besides him.

"Hi Keifer," Garrett slowly speaks up as he continues to watch everyone outside, keeping his feelings to himself, "you enjoying the party?"

"Yeah," Keifer shrugs as he peers out thruogh the window to see what he is looking at, "but you aren't. Why?"

"I am, Keifer. Just that your dad made some horrible decisions when he was younger, decisions that I greatly regret. You should learn by your old man's mistakes...never cross family," Garrett sadly frowns down at his son before reading his son's urgency, reading that something is amiss, "what can I do for you?"

Keifer goes silent as he nervously moves from foot to foot as he watches his dad, struggling with what to do. "Tequila," he pauses as Garrett motions him to go on, "just drove off with your car."

"She took my car?" Garrett asks as he takes his son in, reading the truth from the boy's hazel green eyes, "As drove away with it?"

"Uh yeah," Keifer responds as Garrett quickly moves towards the front door and Keifer runs to keep up with him, "she was going real fast too! Spun the tires and threw dirt everywhere!"

"My car!" Garrett gasps as he stares at the bare parking spot that his beloved car had been parked at to send attention onto him, "She took my car!"

Anger flush through him towards Tequila for stealing his car, anger for himself for trusting his family. Of course they had to have a purpose to invite him back home to a party after what he did. A reason to invite him back home after he left with everyone angry and hating him. Perhaps this was their plan? Invite him home, earn his trust, and then steal his car in payback for what he has done. "Damn it!" Garrett runs his hand through his hair as his heart thumps in anger, "Deserves me right!"

Kenny had got off and walked away, looking mad as well and he good reason to be mad right now.

Balladeer: This looks real bad for Kenny now especially since he drove Tequila and later she steals Garrets Mustang. Layla is deputy and I wondered what Rosco has to say about this right here now, I sure glad Uncle Jesse ain't around to see this right here. Tequila sure has a way of sweet talking Kenny, he is only sixteen years old, you know he is Duke he'll meet somebody else. Just hopefully somebody that won't steal his car or anybody else's. I wondered what Big Jim O'Neill has to say about everything going on, he never did like Tequila that well.

[Garrett Duke]

"Where the hell is she?" Garrett yells harshly glaring around the people that linger around the front yard of the old farm house, "Where she take my car?"

Silence quickly begins to build amongst them as their attention flows onto the angered Duke who glares around, taking everyone in with accusatory glares. "Why you so upset for, Garrett?" someone asks from behind him, the man's voice is thickly coated with sarcasm, "Hurts when it's your car that gets stolen...huh?"

Garrett quickly turns back to find an older tall man with thick silvery gray hair with leather-thick tan skin. Intelligent blue eyes skimmer behind his thin framed glasses as he stares boldly back at Garrett. "Who are you?" Garrett snaps back at the older m
