Bo swallowed and nodded, keeping lookout on the door. He whispered gently, knowing Luke was going to hate what he was going to suggest but still if this was going to take as long as he thought it might, it would be the best thing. "Luke...if ya get it done...and they's comin'....just run....don't worry about me....get out and get some help!"

Finally Bo spotted something behind Luke, squinting at it in the dark "Hey Luke....scoot round...there's somethin' behind ya....see if ya can use that..."

Bo cursed a little under his breath, looking around. Without their knifes he didn't think there was anyway he could undo the ropes...and he really wanted to get out of there before the guys came back...

Bo chuckled a little and nodded, before starting to wriggle around and twisting to try and get to his pocket knife. "Aww dang it....Luke they's got my pocket knife...."

Daisy nodded and sighed softly. Her cousins were famous around Hazzard for many reasons and one of them was for the amount of trouble they always managed to get themselves into. It was widly known that Bo and Luke had enemies, they had sent so many people to prison it wasn't a surprise when someone turned up to get their payback....but having them mysteriously disappear was something Daisy didn't like because there was no way they could help without knowing where they were. She gently rested her head on Jesse's shoulder as he guided her and B.L. to the lounge and the couch as Cooter got up and went out the kitchen door, all three of them praying that the boys could be found before they could get hurt or deeper into the trouble that Jesse was sure they were in. ------------ Bo looked over to him in the dim light of the room, nodding slightly. "Yeah....think I's got a busted lip cause I can taste the blood in my mouth....and I've definitly been winded.....but asides that...I'm okay....how 'bout you? Did they hurt you?"

Okay, hey everyone! Me and B.L. Davenport are back with another adventure and before we start I promise we have talked and decided no Duke Boy is going to die in this robin or any other we write in the near future. We upset ourselves quiet a bit writing that ourselves! lol. Anyway, we hope you enjoy this on and can we remind everyone, this is just between me and B.L. Davenport. You are more than welcome to read what's being posted, but please dont post your own posts in here. Thanks. "Well I don't know! How am I supposed to know, I only saw them that morning and then didn't hear from them again!" Daisy said hurridly in a high pitched voice as she paced the kitchen. It had been two days since her cousins has gone missing, and she was deeply worried. She knew something bad had happened as the General had been found abandoned at the side of the road and there had been signs of a scuffle. For Bo and Luke to lose that scuffle there had to have been underhanded tricks, and for underhanded tricks and a Duke loss of a fight, there had to be devious schemers at work. She looked up as she felt a hand on her shoulder and saw Uncle Jesse gazing strongly and calming at her. He put another hand on her other shoulder and gently squeezed, keeping her still. "Daisy....we know that....but the boys are going to be okay they are quite capable of taking care of themselves....you'll see." Daisy looked round as B.L. nodded, as did Cooter from their positions at the table and sighed heavily, cuddling into Jesse "I know that...I know but....I'm still worried..."

Thanks very much :-) Very glad you enjoyed it and it kept you entertained and I hope you'll read mine and B.L's furture endeavours

Thankyou so much Tracy. I'm glad you liked it and yes hopefully me and B.L. will be working on another real soon And, we promise not to kill another character off. It was very emotional writing those parts as i'm sure it was for others reading it so no no more killing off characters for a while :-) C'mon people, i wanna know what other people think!

And although the pain was always remembered, as the years went by it lessened more and more, and the occasions that were the hardest for the dukes swiftly became the most fun as they grew with their children and celebrated those days with them, able to relive the stories of their brave younger cousin and keep his spirit alive in the children that were to follow them. As promised, Luke continued to pray to Bo, as did Daisy, even though he knew somewhere Bo was watching over their families and keeping them safe, protecting them in anyway he could. Everytime a bullet just skimmed the roof of General Lee or the General only just made a jump, he was sure it was Bo giving him that extra helping hand. As Bo had said, he very muched lived through his older cousin, but he also lived in the race car they had built together and driven in together even in his finally days. The engine's rev was very much like Bo's excited whoops of joy, the running motor the pulsing beat of Bo's young heart in a race or just speeding round the back roads. Bo lived on in Hazzard County even after he had gone, and lived on up above, where he waited for his older cousin to join him once more to continue their adventures, keeping up the Double Duke Trouble that the truly inseperable pair were always known to lead. THE END

Bo watched from high above, his family reunite and pull together once more as they always had done. It would be different now for all of them, Bo included, but because each and everyone were Dukes, the youngest knew that his family would be okay. He could continue to be with them and help them as he always had done just, as Luke had said, in a completly different way. There would be tough times ahead for the family, but they would get through them because no matter what, the Duke family was a unit...whether or not they were miles or worlds apart. There was a connection there that would never be lost and a love that would never be forgotten. They would all be together again someday but until then it was Bo's job to make sure they stayed the same family he knew and loved. He turned slightly as a hand lay itself on his shoulder, and looked smiling into his Aunt Lavinia'syes, eyes that still held the sparkle he had known in childhood. He smiled back at her and wrapped an arm round her shoulder, walking to where his parents now stood, along with Luke's and Daisy's. He may have lost the chance to be with his family back on earth, ended his life there....but up here, another life had just begun...a new life that although would never make up for the real thing....would provide him with all he needed for eternity and beyond.

Bo laughed and nodded, knowing now that Luke would most certainly be okay. He would have his moments, but then again Jesse and Daisy would be there to catch him as would Bo... With one more final squeeze of Luke's hand and a slight nod, he closed his eyes..... And suddenly....all Luke found himself holding was air and hearing the slight whisper of I love you brother....

Bo clasped the hand tighter, knowing now that Luke could feel him and Bo could feel Luke's clasp in return. He could hear people calling him now, feel as they started to pull him away from his older cousin. "Always Luke.....never forget I'm with ya....110%....all the time....I love ya so much....g'bye Luke...." With a small chuckle and a wavering grin, he added cheekily, wanting to make Luke smile before he left for the final time. An' Keep it 'tween the ditches ya hear?

Bo choked a little, nodding and standing up Yeah....I love you too Luke...an' I'll always be watchin' ya....up there....and hearin' ya when ya pray every night....an' if ya need ta talk....tell me somethin'....all ya need ta do is pray Luke an' i'll hear....an' i'll do somethin' ta let ya know i've heard....or if ya do somethin' ya think you wish I could have been here for....I'll let ya know some way I was...you take care brother.... Holds out his hand that had once, and still did, hold a scar across his palm from where him and Luke had sealed the brotherly bond by becoming blood brothers.

Bo nodded, swallowing and straightening up. "Then...I...I gotta go cousin....I gotta move on brother. As long as your certain in yerself that ya can move on....an' I know fer certain that ya mean it....I really gotta go...."

Bo shook his head Luke...I'm already so proud o'ya...I always have been. Growin' up you's been my childhood hero...it never mattered what the comic book characters did or who they were....all I ever wanted to be when I grew up was you...I can't get much more prouder of you Luke...." Bo sighed softly, wrapping his arms round Luke's waist and leaning his head on his older cousin's shoulder....he needed this....needed to feel this one last time, even if Luke could do nothing to respond to it. "Just go on livin' Luke....do what we always dreamed o'doin' together....race, meet someone special, have kids an' grow old bein the father that ya always wanted ta be....don't stop livin' just because I have...because I live through you....I'll stay alive as long as you keep it so..."

Bo sighed softly No Luke....the whole world aint upside down....its just yers. Bo waited a moment before moving his hand to Luke's back, rubbing it softly. Luke....there aint nothin' that can change this now....I'll always be here, maybe not like this, but here *points to his chest* and here *his heart*...I'll always be there Luke. Yer never alone, I'll always be watchin' over ya....fer the whole of yer life ya looked after me, protected me.....now its my turn.....let me watch over ya Luke....

Bo sighed and shook his head Well its kinda hard Luke...seein' ya the way ya are....I know ya said its up ta ya how ya deal with it, but what ya's doin' ain't helpin' ya none! Yer drivin' yerself crazy Luke....an' that ain't gonna be helpin' Daisy and Jesse....B.L. and Cooter can only do so much....

Bo nodded, swalloing gently S'hard fer me too ya know....not bein' able ta take part no more....havin' ta watch on the outside lookin' in when y'all hug or....or have dinner or do normal things....I didn't want ta give up Luke but in the end I didn't have a choice.....and I still feel bad that ya's hurtin' so much.....

Bo smiled a little at seeing Luke smile, but was slightly surprised at the fact that Luke had looked to his hand. Could Luke really feel it? Luke....I'm sorry but....I just...I couldn't hold on anymore....it was hurting Luke....hurting so bad....even with all the painkillers...it wasn't until the very end when Doc gave me more that it stopped....but that made me so weak that liftin' my hand drained me.... Bo paused, wondering if he should be telling Luke this in the frame of mind he was in,

All the Dukes remained waiting in Bo's room as the nurse's cleared up the blood spilt on the floor. Luke felt sick just watching them clearing away his baby cousin's blood, knowing that it belonged to him and had come flowing so freely from his mouth... This whole thing scared him witless and he got the feeling that no one was going to tell him what was happening in the condition he was in. He didnt care though, if they didnt tell him they would have to tell Uncle Jesse and Jesse would then tell Luke. That was how it worked, Jesse would tell him come hell or high water because Jesse knew that despite him not being able to do much, he could still cause enough of a rukus.

Bo sighed and rested his hand on Luke's shoulder, squeezing gently, not even sure that Luke could feel it. Luke....please stop doing this to yerself...I know its hard...it's....it's hard fer me too.....it aint a barell o'laughs bein' dead ya know....

Bo looked worridly over his cousin. He hadn't improved at all since the last time he had seen him and it was starting to worry him a lot. Luke was just staring at him....and although Bo could understand why, knowing if it were the other way around Bo would be doing the very same thing, it still unnerved him a little bit. He closed his eyes gently and sighed before opening them again and saying softly. "Ya ain't goin' mad Luke....we's spoke about this 'afore....remember?"

Daisy nodded, looking out the window but never looking back. Bo sighed and waved his hand in front of Luke's face. Luke! Luke snap out o'it would ya!

Daisy was grateful for the hug and smiled slightly at B.L. nodding. Yeah...yeah lets go.... Bo watched from the sidelines a little, wincing. He thought he had talked to Luke about this, thought he had managed to get it through to him about what had haopened... He walked over and gently put his hand on Luke's shoulder Luke....

Daisy sniffed and shook her head I'll get through it eventually....its just so hard with Luke being like he is....I'm scared o'losin' him too B.L....I can't lose both my cousin....I wont be able to cope and neither will Uncle Jesse....I'm just praying that wherever Bo is now he can do something to get Luke back....anything.... Bo watched sadly from outside the wrecker, listening in and shaking his head sighing. He thought he had gotten through to Luke. He had watched the whole day's proceeding and found it unnerving that his body was now in a casket in a hole in the ground....but then again technically he was still living so it didnt hit him that hard. Running his cold hand over the top of the gravestone, Bo proceeded to go to the old indian caves where he knew Luke was.
