"Come? Come where?" Bo asked, getting more and more confused and a little more worried as he reached out and pulled Luke's fringe back to check his head. "Luke you didn't hit yer head did ya...."

Bo frowned and looked back to him. "What? Why is it gonna be ok? Luke your not hurt, an' the General's fine...the deer got away unscathed..."

Jaime sighed as at first she found nothing, sitting on the floor with her chin in her hands as she searched back to the morning to see whether she could remember anything suspicious. After a few minutes, she sighed as she couldn't remember seeing anything out of the ordinary and flopped back onto the ground, looking up at the clear blue sky abover her. That was when something caught the corner of her...a set os tyre tracks...she went over to them and studied them for a moment, before quickly following them.

Bo nodded and shifted over to him, wrapping his good arm around his shoulders and rubbing his arm gently. "Yeah...yeah I saw...but it's ok...you didn't hit it..and your not hurt an' neither is the General...its ok..."

Bo watched him, making sure that he didn't drink too much of it...shock could make people do strange things. "You alright cousin? Apart from bein' shaken?"

Jaime hurried through the trees, following the trail she could remember from this morning. Along with her ability to read minds, she also had a very good sense of direction and memory, making her excel in her school work and in helping her mother search for lost items. Eventually she found the clearing in which she had found Luke and started to look around.

lol here;s another from 'The Ghost of General Lee' "Now ain't you glad them boys don't direct traffic at the airport?"

Bo jumped a little and looked to the doorway, smiling as he saw Luke. "Hey there....before you chew me out, I'm sorry for goin' off like that. I thought I heard somethin' not too far away from here an' went to check it out in case it was Enos or somethin'...."

Bo watched the scene unfold, tempted to run to Luke as well and make sure he was alright but Lori beat him to it...and by the looks of things Luke didn't seem that bothered about Lori meeting him and not Bo. He sat back in the treehouse and, when he heard Lori coming, looked through the picnic basket Luke had brought along. He watched as she got her guitar and instantly headed out again, not even aknowledging Bo. Oh come on Bo, what did you expect? Now she has Luke she's gonna pay the same attention to you? Get real and move on... He told himself as he shook his head and continued his search through the basket with his good hand. His injured hand, he now noticed, was starting to throb painfully again where he had been using it so much and so he tried to limit its movement as much as possible. Eventually he picked out a few pieces of food and settled back against the wall of the treehouse, wrapping his blanket around him, to eat.

Jaime however didn't stay in her room very long. As soon as she shut her door, she went under her bed and retrieved the backpack she always took with her whenever she snuk out. She opened her bedroom window and climbed onto the windowsill, shutting it behind her, before shimmying down the drainpipe and running across the back garden, knowing her mother was in the living room calling the Doc. She reached the back fence and jumped straight over it, before running off in the direction she had found Luke. First thing to do, was to look around the site and see if she could spot anything that would lead her to Bo's whereabouts.

Jaime nodded and headed upstairs to her room where she knew she was usually banished whenever someone came over usually.

Bo nodded with a smile and patted her shoulder "There ya see, panic over."

Jaime looked up with a small smile. "He's tried to get up...Ma' I think we should call the Doc...he still ain't lookin' to well.."

Bo laughed and shook his head "Lori, just chill out alright...you carry on with this kinda attitude an' you'll drive Luke crazy. I know ya love him, I do too as a brother, but you can't worry about him like this 24/7. He'll be here."

Bo nodded and followed along behind her, inwardly sighing but not doing it so he gave the game away to Lori. Soon they were back at the treehouse, Luke not back yet, and he helped Lori up.

Bo had been prepaired for this question and instantly laughed, shaking his head. "Lori, Luke does that to a lot of girls...sometimes he finds it hard to believe that a girl would pick him over me for some strange reason. If I have any feelings for you Lori, its as a brother..."

Bo jerked back a little at the outburst, swallowing as she ripped into him before she calmed down...he hated it when women got all over protective because they just got angry after. He shook his head. "Ain't no point goin' after Luke if he's in the General...he'll be long gone by now...it's best to just wait till he gets back then we each wont go gettin' lost..."

Jaime watched him anxiously, wondering if maybe her and her mother should have called a Doc...and wishing her mother would get back so she could sneak out and go looking for signs of Bo.

Bo looked up as he heard Lori's voice calling him from where he was sat by the small pond that he knew was not far off from the treehouse. He should have figured they would come looking for him although he thought they would be too lost in each other to remember him. Sighing he put on a brave face and ran back through the woods, catching up to Lori. "Hey! I'm here quit yellin...s'ok..."

She smiled and flushed a little at his concern. "I will...don't worry..."

"I'll keep an ear and eye out for signs of Bo." She promised

Jaime swallowed softly and sank down to sit on the dloor beside the couch. "Look, the more you rest up the sooner you'll be better an' able to find Bo....but if yer ill you got more chance of getting captured.."

"Exactly..." She replied firmly, hands on her hips.

Jaime put her hands on her hips and glared a little at him. "Actually I'm 13 goin' on 14, and I know this ain't cops and robbers but what makes ya think you can do a better job than me in your state?"

Bo had been at the bottom of the ladder when he heard the outburst and he was surprised to find that it hurt him more than he cared to admit. Swallowing, he stepped back from the ladder and started to go for a walk...he couldn't be around Lori and Luke right now...it would hurt too much. He needed to figure out a way to put on a mask even Luke wouldn't see through before he could face them again.
