Daisy laughed as she started to gather up the other feeds for the animals. "Well the record last time they were ill was...let me think....15 minutes I think..."

Daisy laughed but signalled to B.L to keep quiet. Bo needed to sleep and if he knew that there was fun going on without him he would be up like a shot. Grabbing another towel, she quickly wound it up and popped it on Luke's bare side, having learnt from Bo how to do it having got fed up with Luke doing it to her all the time. "Now you behave yerself Luke. Come on B.L let's get movin'." She threw the towel doen on the side and went out the back door, grinning to herself.

Bo stirred slightly as B.L cracked the door and looked over sleepily as Luke shifted in his sleep. But for some reason, he felt too weak to do or say anything, so instead he just let his eyes drift back to closed. Daisy stepped out the bathroom in her trademark shorts and red halterneck top, roughly towelling her hair dry before smiling at B.L, throwing the towel on the washing pile for later. "I'll meet you outside B.L. If the boys wake up, tell them their breakfasts in the oven if they want it."

Daisy had to stifle a laugh as she saw B.L cower under her Uncle Jesse's still aparant quick temper. She nodded at B.L and made a hasty retreat for the shower, grabbing her clothes from the bedroom, looking in on the boys out of instinct as she did so.

Daisy nodded, thinking it would be kinder to just let Luke sleep in, but after what had happened between him and Bo she wasn't about to debate it with him. "Yes sir.." She quietly finished the rest of her breakfast before putting the plate in the sink, leaving the washing for Luke to do when he got up. "I'm just goin' ta take a shower before I go out and do the chores Uncle Jesse."

Daisy laughed and nodded to B.L, her mouthful of food so she couldn't reply. Eventually she managed to finish. "Yeah I ain't so sure neither. I'll get Luke up in a bit Uncle Jesse....though I hate to wake him...can't I do his and Bo's instead today?"

Daisy smiled and said Amen at the end with everyone else before starting her food, thankful for some since she hadn't eaten a proper meal for a good few days. "They did look real beat last night...Bo looked like he was gonna drop asleep on his feet 'afore they even reached their room.....Luke didn't look much better."

Daisy smiled at her Uncle, pleased he seemed to be in such a good mood, remembering the threats he had made yesterday. She took the eggs out of the pan and the beans out the pot and served them up on plates, putting a plate for Bo and Luke in the oven to keep it hot. "Mornin' Uncle Jesse." Places a plate in front of him and then puts one down for B.L and herself before taking her place at the table.

Daisy chuckles softly as she takes over part of the cooking. "That's true B.L....and we wouldn't have it any other way." She smiled gratefully and took a long sip of her coffee, looking towards Jesse's room. "Is Uncle Jesse up yet? He's usually up to do the chores no matter what's happened."

It was a long time after B.L left that Daisy finally awoke, sitting up in bed and looking around before rushing quietly to the boy's bedroom, sighing as she saw that last night really wasn't a dream and that everybody really was safe and sound. She padded into the kitchen and smiled gratefully at B.L, seeing the breakfast already started and the coffee all set out. She walked over to the stove and patted her friend's shoulder. "Thanks B.L, i'll take over from here. You sit down, your the guest."

Daisy guided B.L gently to her room, peeking in on her cousins as she did, sighing happily as she sees Bo and Luke sleeping as though nothing had ever happened, even though the rasp in Bo's chest did kinda give it away. She tossed B.L a nightgown and slid hers on before climbing inbetween the soft luxury of the familiar sheets, snuggling into her pillow and saying a quick prayer of thanks before falling quickly into sleep.

Bo didn't even feel his head hit the pillow, he was asleep and snoring softly long before then. Daisy smiled at B.L and wrapped an arm around her waist. "Come on B.L, it ain't safe you driving home like this....you can share my bed...if that's alright with you Uncle Jesse."

Wearily Bo nods and leans more against Luke, but still walks, though slowly, pretty well. He mumbles, his eyes drifting closed even further as the comforting warmth of the house hits him. "Thanks Luke....love ya cousin...." Daisy smiled as the two boys passes her and Jesse, looking gratefully over to B.L. She crosses over and hugged her friend and then hugged Cooter too. "You guys can go home if ya like. I think they'll be alright now. Thanks so much for all your help."

Bo sighed and took in a breath as he pulled himself out the General, the adrenaline rush beginning to wear off a little quicker than he would have liked. He managed to get enough strength to pull his legs out the window and lean against the General to wait for Luke or someone to come and help him.

Daisy gave B.L a hug before following Jesse into the pickup, sliding up close to him and resting her head on his shoulder, releieved this is finally over and now Bo can begin to heal. Bo sighed and rested his head against the head rest of the General, closing his eyes as he heard the gentle comforting growl of the engine, then opened them again looking out at the stars.

After a while his sobs die down and he lets Luke cradle him a little more before pulling away and smiling slightly* "Let's go home Luke."

Daisy let go of Bo once he sobbed harder hearing Luke's words, signalling for Uncle Jesse to move back. Bo looked up to her teary eyed as she let go, giving her a questioning look. But all she did was smiled and signal to something behind him. He turned to look and saw the gentle tears slipping down his cousin's cheeks and quickly wrapped his arms around Luke's neck.

:-) Thanks very much!

Bo let himself be encased in Daisy's arms, glad for her support but still keeping his hands firmly over his face, refusing to let them see him cry again. But as Luke's arms them wrapped around him he couldn't take it any longer. He broken down into sobs, part relieved that they had the guys behind bars, but also terrified that there were more guys out there waiting to get him, waiting to get his family.

Bo gave a low groan and put his head in his hands. Maybe these bugs really where everywhere....maybe he wasn't as free as he thought he was... Daisy saw the look of desapair and frustration return to Bo's eyes, the look she recognised that he had had the every first day they noticed somehting was wrong...before he got sick. She quickly broke away from B.L and leant in the General's window, wrapping her arms around Bo's neck, signalling to Luke to do something with it. She didn't know what and didn't care how, as long as he got rid of it.

Bo frowned and quickly joined Luke in his search, clambouring into the General awkwardly to search around. He ducked underneath the dashboard and quickly came back out, waving his arm out the window at Luke and gesturing to the CB. Daisy watched, as she and B.L clamboured up the embankment, Bo and Luke scrambling about frantically in the car, with a frown that was equal to Uncle Jesse's. She didn't understand what was going on either, but she had a feeling from the way hardly any of them was speaking that it wouldn't be the best of ideas to start questioning them.

Bo saw Luke bolt towards General Lee and gave a quick worried glance to Jesse Daisy and B.L before clambouring up the embankment after him, going as quick as his breathing would allow him. He finally got to the top, and saw Luke pulling all sorts of things out the General. "Luke...what in....gods name....are ya doin'?"

Bo nodded gratefully and was pleased to note his breathing had come under control a lot quicker than the previous times he had been so out of breath. He leant his head back against the truck and closed his eyes, breathing a sigh of relief that it was over....but then frowns as he starts to think about how they knew what the plan was....

Daisy slipped her arm round B.L's waist, crying softly as she realised that this was all over now. That Bo could finally begin to heal. Sure she was a little bit shocked and angry at his actions, but then again she was also happy because it was a sign that Bo really was coming back to his usual self. Bo smiled as Jesse broke away and gently leant against the truck, steadily gaining his breath back as his legs started to feel like Jelly beneath him again. He caught Daisy's eye and smiled at her, unable to see where Luke was at that moment.

Bo gasped and winced slightly as Jesse grabbed a hold of his left arm, the one he had used to jerk the wheel sideways. "I's...fine...Uncle...Jesse....just...hurt my....arm....a little...."
