Joe continued to ride his horse down the dusty roads, jumping a fence and racing across an open field with a small smile. He loved just running through the countryside on his horse, be it running from someone or going to get somewhere, it was just something he enjoyed. It gave him a sense of peace and allowed him to enjoy the finer things in life, like the fresh country air and the smell of nature. He was sharply brought back to his thoughts as a gunshot rang out from behind him and he saw the Sheriff was not too far away from him. With a small flick of the reins and a 'Ya', he encouraged his horse to run faster.

Bo snorted a little. "Gonna go? You already are nuts..."

Bo looked to Luke like he'd suddenly lost his mind. "Luke...of course you're gonna have to stay here you can't go around with a broken foot..."

Bo chuckled and pulled his hands away, sitting back in the chair again and nodding. "Alright i'll quit..."

Bo grinned, reaching out and ruffling Luke's hair purely because he knew his older cousin hated it.

Bo eventually managed to get back into breathing normally again and his almsot childish giggles ceased. "Ah well...that felt good..."

Bo nodded, wiping the tears of laughter from his eyes with a sigh. "S'alright..."

Bo shrugged as much as he could with one shoulder, finally leaning back still chuckling as he shook his head. "I'm sorry...it...its just...you sound like him so much.."

Bo nodded a little, getting control of himself as best he could but finding it incrediably hard to do so.

Bo was doubled over laughing now, hearing the first four words that mimicked Uncle Jesse's tone perfectly. He shook his head, gasping in laughing breaths, unable to speak.

Bo just laughed harder, shaking his head "You get all Uncle Jesse like when your serious...you get his frown, his pout, give his speeches and lectures...everything..."

Bo laughed a little and shook his head, pointing at him. "See there ya go..."

Bo chuckled a little. "Ah well...your already turnin' out like he is so I guess its good for you to take notes on how to act Uncle Jesse like..."

Bo nodded in agreement "I know..."

Bo rolled his eyes a little and shook his head. "Uncle Jesse come on its not like Luke's killed me. So he squeezed my shoulder a little hard, big deal. Don't worry about it, i'll be right as rain before you know it and stop apologisin' for an accident Luke..."

Bo sighed and said in a simple sounding tone of voice. "Just said I got a hairline fracture an' my muscle in my shoulder's inflammed is all.."

Bo shook his head. "Don't need to...saw the pretty doctor comin' outta your room and she was headed to the waiting room...he'll probably be in here in a minute..."

Bo shook his head, not really wanting to divulge what the doctor had been saying about Luke, knowing it would only make Luke doubt himself more and Bo didn't want that to happen...Jaime was counting on Luke and she couldn't afford to see him having a breakdown because of something the doctor said. "It doesn't matter...point is he won't say it again..."

"Ah well...it's done now...not much else I can do about it." He muttered.

Bo shrugged again, sitting back in the chair. "Little bit...he didn't get what I was telling him so I knocked some sense into him instead..."

Bo sighed and shook his head. "Luke it's a hairline fracture, it ain't that bad. It don't even hurt...and it was an accident so don't you go blaiming yourself or i'm gonna give ya a smack like the doctor got..."

Bo shrugged with the one shoulder he could. "Uh...I got a hairline fracture and the muscles in my shoulder are inflammed..."

Bo nodded. "Yeah I'm fine..."

Bo nodded, looking over the x-rays. "Yeah I'd say the same thing..."

Bo shook his head, sitting in a chair beside Luke's bed to calm himself down. "Don't matter none...I delt with it..." He glance up at the x-rays and whistled low. "Man...Maudine really did a number on your foot huh?"
