Bo sighed with relief as his wrists were let loose, but he found that he just didn't have the energy or the will to move them. He didn't have the energy or the will to move at all as his body refused with pain to let him move. He leant more forward and rested his head on the dashboard, shaking with pain, relief and fatigue.

Bo swallowed and nodded softly, turning slightly and leaning forward a little way to free his hands from behind him and expose them to B.L. and Daisy, knowing he had at least rubbed them raw from struggling with his bonds, if not actually cut into them. He squeezed his eyes shut as his beaten muscles screamed at the movement, protesting as sharply as they could but he didn't make a sound, not wanting to distract Luke from what he was doing, knowing Jerry would take that upper hand quickly.

Bo watched with a small smile as Luke and Cooter quickly got a hold of Jerry and sighed as he leant back in the truck seat, the pain, shock and fear of everything that had happened finally catching up with him. He looked over to the door as it opened, eyes swimming with relieved tears as he saw the friendly faces of B.L. and one of his cousins, Daisy, and nodding his head, trying to get out the truck and to them but hissing and groaning in pain and shaking his head. "I can't move.....please don't move me..."

Bo grinned and whooped as he heard and then saw what Luke, B.L, Daisy and Cooter had done, sighing with relief as he thought there was no way that Jerry could get out of this now. He would have to stop and pull over before Luke and the others forced him to, and he voiced that opinion to Jerry as well. "Just give yerself up now an' Luke'll be a whole lot eaisier on ya..."

Bo grinned in satisfaction as he heard the messages go back and forth, shaking his head and looking to Jerry. "I told ya, ya don't mess with Dukes...you'll never win...so just pull over and give up..."

Bo swallowed and looked back in the mirrors as he heard the unmistakable sound of Dixie pulling up in the place they had just left that little bit too late. At least he knew that Luke was safe though....and they were in a car...with a Cb. GLancing down, he smiled a little as he saw the holder right by his knee. He shifted it over a little and pressed the button in before saying hurridly. "Lost Sheep 1, this is Lost Sheep 2! Follow us on the old moonshine trail, we're in a pick up! Hurry he's got a gun!"

Bo instaantly skidded to a stop and sighed, clenching his jaw as he turned back around and headed back towards Jerry, knowing he wouldn't hesitate to shoot him in the back of he didn't...that didn't stop him glowering at the man as he stood in front of him, showing he wasn't afraid.

Bo swallowed and went to get in the truck before bringing his tied hands up sharply and bashing the gun away from his back, turning sharply around and kicking Jerry in the stomach before running to try and find somewhere to hide,

Bo yelled aloud in pain as he was jerked roughly to his feet before instantly struggling against Jerry, shaking his head. "Never did like that game...get off me!"

*END FLASHBACK* Daisy swallowed and shook her head as she drove that little bit faster. "We need to get you both to the Doc as soon as possible...getting hit that hard is gonna have left ya with a concussion or somethin'.."

Bo struggled against the net as Luke did, trying to get out from underneath it. "Jerry!"

Bo swallowed, calming himself down a little before saying again. "Look...just let us down and we can talk about this rationally okay..." c'mon Jerry...let us down..." Bo noticed Jerry had changed a lot since he had last seen him, he had probably been following him and Luke around for days and he hadn;t even recognised him

Bo yelled at Jerry, flicking a desperate glance at Luke. "I said leave him out of this! What kind of a coward are ya, pickin' on people who ya ain't got nothing ta do with...just like ya did in the reserve corps.."

Bo glared sharply at Jerry as he stepped out from the bushes, jerking away from his hand on his face and growling. "Jerry...you leave my cousin alone he ain't done nothin' to you...this is between me an' you..."

Bo swallowed as another bullet was shot his way and he carefully put up his hands, slipping his knife back into his pouch pocket as he did so before calling out. "Alright, who are ya and what do you want?!"

Bo grinned over and kept sawing through his retraints, daring Luke to a race and chuckling a little as Luke accepted, seeing which one of them could achieve the feat first...before Bo jumped a little as a gun shot hit the tree near him first and then the one nearest Luke. Swallowing he looked around. "Uh Luke....what's goin' on..."

Bo sighed and nodded, looking around. "Dang....we need to go huntin' more...anyway, what say we just get ourselves down from here." He quickly retrieved his pocket knife from his pouch and deftly swung himself up to start sawing through his ropes.

Bo sighed and folded his arms, hanging by his ankle "One....you would be in so much trouble if Jesse heard ya say them words and two, how the heck did we fall fer this trap!"

*FLASHBACK* Bo snuk carefully through the undergrowth, keeping an ear out for Luke as they snuck around trying to find a pole cat they had seen....realizing very quickly that looking for it was going to be like looking for a needle in a haystack. Whispering he stood up "Luke this is pointless..."

Daisy gasped a little along with B.L. and Cooter...although Cooter decided to unleash a torrent of unsavoury words instead of just settling for the gasp. Before long they were all loaded into their respective cars and Daisy was talking away to Luke. "How they heck did he capture you two? I mean, it aint like yer the eaisest people to catch now is it?!"

After around the third try Cooter finally responded and headed back to the meeting place, meeting Luke with a firm friendly hug before listening in on what was going on. Daisy then stepped forward again "What happened Luke? And where is Bo?"

Daisy cried out with relief as she leapt to him and flung her arms around his neck. "Oh Luke! We were all so worried! Thank god we found you." Daisy hugged him close, burying her head in his shoulder and rocking him softly as she ran her hands through his dark hair.

Suddenly, Daisy slammed on the brakes as she saw a figure walking along the edge of the woods. Squinting she made sure to look a few times before yelling and getting out the jeep, running towards the figure. "Luke!"

Daisy sighed and got into Dixie, driving away slower than usual so she too could keep a look out for the boys in case there were any signs they could have missed before. She didn't expect there to be whatsoever, but then again it never hurt to have a little optimism that something would come up. Bo rested his head back against the post, shifting against his bonds as he looked around to try and find something to cut his ropes with, but unfortunatly any movement was now very painful and it caused him to yell out a little bit in pain.

Daisy nodded and followed suit, giving Jesse a kiss and hug goodbye with strict orders to ring into the Boar's Nest if anything happened with the boys before leaving for work. Bo sighed in relief as Jerry left, looking to the splintered board and hoping a little bit before remembering how hard Luke had found ti with the sharp jagged metal, wood wouldn't stand a chance. So he had no choice but to sit there and wait for Luke to come back.
