Old Ghosts and New Friends
Chapter 3
Uncle Jesse was surprised when the General Lee pulled up to the house followed by two other cars he'd never seen before. As the cars emptied of their occupants, he noticed something familiar about one man.
"Ezra Standish, well I'll be...it's good to see ya boy, what brings you to these parts?" Jesse asked gruffly as he pulled Ezra into a quick hug.
"Uncle Jesse it's wonderful to see you too," Ezra quietly stated, returning the embrace and surprising his friends into stunned silence. One thing they had all learned quickly about Ezra, he didn't like to be touched by anybody other than a select few. "Jesse Duke allow me to introduce my associates, the blond man you see over there glaring at your goat is Chris Larabee, the leader of our motely group." Hearing this remark Chris transferred his glare to Ezra causing the others to laugh. "Next to the car is Buck Wilmington, our explosives expert, ah Daisy, do be careful he has quite a reputation with the ladies."
"I can see why," Daisy said giggling as Buck flirted outrageously with her.
"Standing behind the car is JD Dunne, our electronics expert and imparter of the world's worst jokes."
"Aw, you just ain't got a sense of humor Ez," JD practically whined.
"I assure you JD I possess a fine sense of humor, your jokes are simply not funny," Ezra told him, drawing another round of laughs.
"To the front of the car are Josiah Sanchez, our profiler, and Nathan Jackson, our team medic. Truer friends one could never find."
"And finally," Ezra started as he pulled Vin, who was holding Michael, over to him and slipped an arm around his waist. "This is my best friend and partner, Vin Tanner, and the young man he's holding is our son Michael."
"Everyone allow me to present Miss Daisy Duke and Mr. Jesse Duke, two of the finest people it has been my privilege to know."
"Thank ya Ezra for that, and welcome to the Duke farm y'all, but ya still ain't told me why you're here Ezra, not that ya ain't welcome."
"That is a long story, perhaps we could go inside and sit down first."
"Oh sure, sure and maybe ya might want to put the little one down for a nap, he looks plumb tuckered."
After putting Michael down for a nap in Jesse's room, Vin returned to the living room and took a seat on the floor in front of Ezra. Together they told how they had come to Atlanta, how they had lost Michael and brought in the rest of the team to help search. Bo and Luke told how they had found the boy, and how Rosco had over-reacted. Once Jesse was sure that Luke wasn't hurt badly and Nathan assured everybody that the doctor had found no injuries on Michael, Buck took the photos from JD and handed them to Chris.
"Chris, before you look at those, I gotta tell ya pard they're pretty bad. There's pictures of at least three other little boys there and well.... Let's just say it's a good thing Bo and Luke found Mikey when they did," Buck informed them gravely, his face for once absent its trademark grin.
As Chris looked through the pictures he grew paler and paler, and as his hands began to shake he dropped one of the pictures.
Leaning down to pick up the picture, Bo got a good look at it. Growing pale himself, he dropped the picture as though scalded and rushed to the bathroom, followed closely by Luke.
Everybody in the living room could hear him retching as they traded worried glances. Wanting to give Bo and Luke some privacy, the team began to discuss their next move.
In the bathroom Luke sat on the edge of the tub, rubbing small circles on Bo's back, offering what comfort he could. "Ya gonna be okay darlin?"
"Yeah, I'll be okay, just wasn't expecting that, it brought back a lot of bad memories. I just don't get it Luke, I mean it's bad enough what Jeff did to me, but that kid.... Heck Luke that kid in the picture couldn't have been more than eight or nine, and Michael ain't but four. How could anybody...what kind of animal does that to an innocent little boy?" Bo asked, looking at Luke with tear-filled blue eyes.
"I don't know Bo, I know that kind of thing happens but I ain't never understood how anybody can do it either. I just wish that you had never gone through anything like that, I wish I'd been here to protect you," Luke said. As he held Bo, he couldn't help silently praying once again that Jeff Miller was roasting in the lowest level of Hell. After Bo had calmed down, they returned to the other room and found everybody talking about what to do next.
"Chris, in my opinion and after seeing those pictures, I don't think this man has left Hazzard. I believe he will remain and attempt to take Michael again, so that he can finish what he started, before he was interr...," Josiah trailed off as he saw Bo and Luke coming back into the room. "Are you okay son?" he asked Bo, concerned by the strength of Bo's reaction.
"Yeah I...I'm fine Josiah, thanks."
"So ya think this guy might try to take Michael again?" Luke asked, drawing their attention away from Bo.
"Yes I do unfortunately, judging by the pictures, and the similarites in the boys' looks, I think we're looking at a serial offender. The one common thing about serial offenders is they hate not finishing what they start and I think if we were to look around Hazzard County for him, we'll find him."
"I agree with you Josiah, but it's too late to start today, so let's figure out who will search where and we'll start at first light," Chris decided.
"Uh...Mr. Larabee, me and Luke would like to help catch this guy. Besides you're gonna need somebody who knows Hazzard and ain't nobody knows it better than me and Luke, uh, sir," Bo stuttered, still a little nervous around Chris.
"I don't know Bo, it could be dangerous and Luke's already been hurt," Chris protested.
"Actually Chris, Bo makes a valid point, it would help to have people who know the area aiding in the search. While I myself also know the area, I cannot be in more than one locale at a time," Ezra pointed out before an argument could begin.
Realizing that Ezra was right, Chris reluctantly agreed, after some more discussion it was decided that Ezra, Buck and JD would search the northern part of the county. Luke, Chris and Nathan would go south, while Bo and Josiah would search the west, that left only the east. Calling Cooter they soon arranged for him to search the eastern part of Hazzard County, with help from Enos. Though he wanted to find the bastard that took his son, that had hurt those other kids like he planned to hurt Michael, Vin agreed to stay at the farm with Jesse and Daisy. Not only so that he could protect Michael, but also to give Michael the comfort of his father's presence.
They were surprised when Daisy called them to supper, none of them had realized so much time had passed. Vin went to get Michael, not really surprised to find him sitting up playing with his Curious George doll, after returning to the kitchen with his son Vin helped move everything outside to the picnic table. After Jesse said a short prayer of thanks for Michael's safe return and asking for protection and success for tommorrow's hunt, they all dug into the wonderful meal. Once the chores and clean-up were taken care of they all retired early, planning to start the search at first light.
