Jaime first tried to pull her hands away, but Luke kept a firm but gentle grip on them and rolled up her sleeves. She swallowed and looked away.

Bo gasped and panted in pain, making tears appear in his eyes as he squeezed his hand to make it hurt a little more and make it redder. "Hand....hand....Boss...trapped...my hand in...the door...he slammed....slammed it..."

Jaime looked down to the floor, pulling her sleeves more over her scarred wrists. "She's scared of me...of what I can do....she thinks if people find out...they'll exploit me and...hurt me...She was doing what she thought was best..."

Jaime sniffed softly as she sat on the floor and nodded softly. "Yeah...they were mine..."

Bo put the toe of his boot in the door so that the door bounced a little, yanking his hand out of his pocket and screaming in pain, falling to the floor on his knees, cradling it.

"It is too my buisness! I was the one that got arrsted for it!" Bo shouted.

Eventually, Jaime had led him to a small treehouse that was well built and sturdy. "My daddy helped me build it...mommy don't know about it.."

"Boss I've had just about enough of you tryin' to frame me for things I ain't done. What was this whole thing about this mornin'?!" Bo demanded angrily.

Jaime nodded and lead Luke the way she knew, keeping her mind open for any hints that the other guys where there. If they were thinking things, which they would be, she would be able to sense them before Luke did.

Jaime stood up, brushing herself off and wiping her wet cheeks before heading in one direction. "C'mon, i'll show you. Can you walk on yer own?"

Bo scowled "Don't be stupid Boss you can't arrest me, this is public property."

Jaime sighed and shook her head. "No you don't...I can only hear you if I concentrate on you and what your thinking. I won't do it no more unless you ask me to."

Bo grinned as he slid out the General and stretched before gingerly putting his hand in his pocket to hide it, putting his other hand in the opposite one and strolling into the jailhouse. "Boss! I want a word with you!"

Jaime looked up at him and nodded gently, crawling out of his lap. "I know a place we can hide..."

Bo grinned and sat back as Luke headed for town. He couldn't wait to do this, or to see the look on Boss' face.

Bo nodded with a grin. "I'm always up for fooling Boss an' Rosco no matter what state i'm in..."

Eventually Jaime calmed properly in Luke's hold and the trembling soon ceased although the fear of what would happen to her next was not relieved so eaisly. She sighed softly, content to rest in Luke's arms, feeling safe...

Bo sighed "I know that but it has to look that way otherwise Enos ain't gonna believe it, an' neither is Rosco...i'm surprised they fell for the trick with my ankle the first time..."

Bo thought quickly, looking down at his unwrapped and dangerously swollen hand before looking to Luke. "Here's what I think we should do..." And with that, he started to explain

Jaime hesitated briefly before throwing her arms back around him and hugging him tightly back, burying her face into the saftey of his strong chest that accompanied the strong arms that promised her saftey and security without any words. "Th...thank you..."

Bo shook his head...his hand was hurting something fierce but right now it was not something he was going to complain about. The balance was, get his hand fixed or wreck someone's life...not someone's life he felt inclined to save right now after what had been said, no matter how many apologies had been thrown at him, but he was brought up by Uncle Jesse better than that. "We need to go back Luke...Lori's in real danger here, she'll be sent to State Pen an' you know as well as I do what that place can do ta ya....we need to go help her an' I recon I know how without havin' to go to the treehouse...but for it...we need my hand as it is..."

Jaime swallowed, not knowing whether or not she should...she was afraid of what she would find...afraid of what would happen to her. Years of being told her gift was bad, that she should never use it and should be hidden away and instilled this fear so deep in her it was hard to let it go. But eventually she did... It is an amazing gift and I will never hurt you for any reason... She looked to Luke in slight amazement, wanting to see if what he was thinking was true or whether he was just thinking that as a test. But in his eyes she could see the signs of someone kind, someone to be trusted....someone who would keep her safe...the only question was, for how long.

Jaime cringed a little in fear, shaking harder. "Please...please don't hurt me..."

Bo sighed and replaced the CB, looking to Luke. "Lori's sayin' its a trap..."

Jaime bit her lip and looked away, clasping her shaking hands together before looking to him again and saying quietly. "I can read people's minds..."
