Bo looked to Luke but saw him shake his head. "Lori...I can't...one because Luke's drivin' an' two 'cause we's goin' to the hospital about my hand..."

Jaime looked into his deep blue eyes, swallowing as she could detect no trace of anything that could cause her to mistrust Luke. "I...I....you can't tell anyone...please..."

Bo looked to the Cb, seeing Luke wasn't going to pick it up, and answered Daisy's call. "This is Lost Sheep comin' back at ya Bo Peep..."

Jaime swallowed hard, trembling a little. "You...I can't..."

Jaime looked to him with frightened eyes...she felt like such a small kid right now...unprotected and vulnerable. She knew her mother loved her, and that what she was doing was wrong...but it was out of love...it was because she was frightened of what could happen to Jaime...at least that's what Jaime told herself over and over... She shook her head slightly...she just couldn't tell him...not after so long of having it drilled into her that she mustn't let anyone know..

Bo shook his head and tried again. "Luke it ain't that bad...its probably just stiff where I was movin' it lots yesterday...Luke please if it was that bad Uncle Jesse woulda made me go to the Doc's when he checked it over!"

Jaime shook her head, wiping the tears from her cheeks with her hand.

Jaime cried softly against him, part thankful for her rescue but part frightened for what it would mean...would her mother come looking for her, would Luke abandon her if he found out her secret...she didn't know...and that scared her..

"No! No!" Jaime cried out, struggling half heartedly to get back to the house. "You can't, they're looking for you! Please, Bo doesn't want you to get caught, your his last chance. He wants you to bring help!"

Bo sighed and shook his head. "Luke we can't go inta town! Lori an' Daisy are there workin' on my escape! If I show up it oculd blow the whole thing!"

Jaime shuddered gently, trying to cease her sobs but it only resulted in her hiccuping. "M..M...Mom..."

Bo swallowed and gently wiggled his fingers but he couldn't do so much at all. "Only just..."

Bo swallowed softly and let Luke take his bandaged hand, knowing Luke couldn't really make it worse than it already was.

Jaime sobbed as Luke took her into his arms, huddling into him fearfully.

Bo nodded, swallowing a little. "S'just....my hand...really hurts..."

Jaime whimpered quietly as Luke opened the door, praying he wouldn't come in and find her...she didn't know what would happen if Luke did...

Bo nodded gently. "Yeah..."

Jaime shuddered as she sensed what Luke was thinking, knew he was trying to find her. She tried to contain the sobs that were trying to escape her throat...she hated the dark and she hated small spaces ever since her mother had locked her here once her power had developed.

Jaime didn't answer, afraid. She didn't know if her mother was back or not, she didn't even know if her mother was there...but she didn't want to risk it. She knew what happened when she was bad in the dark room...

Jaime huddled into a corner of the dark room, thankful at least that her mother had not chained her to the wall again. She sobbed softly as she rocked back and forth, arms wrapped round her knees, hugging them to her chest.

Bo shook his head with a sigh, looking out the General's window. "Nah it ain't....I don't love her...not the way she wants to be loved Luke..."

Bo shook his head softly, looking away again. "No I don't..."

Jaime continued to sob as her mother kept coming towards her. "No...Mom please don't put me down there again!"

Bo looked to him, shaking his head. "I don't..."

Bo moaned again but finally sat up, rubbing his eyes as he mumbled "Sor' wha'..."
