"Why's that?"

Bo sighed and looked down at the floor again with a nod...boy did he know that...Luke didn't deserve everything that had happened to him in his life....Sara being taken was the last straw and so help him he was bound and determined to do anything and everything to stop Abi being taken too - which was something he knew Luke feared. "I know....I wish I did too...sometimes I feel..just...so guilty that I got Sammy an'...everythin's turning out great with her...I don't understand why this always seems to happen to him at all...I know Uncle Jesse said that everything happens for a reason but I just dont see the point behind what's happened to him. Luke ain't ever done nothin' t'deserve having everyone he loves ripped from his life." Bo stopped himself before he carried on further, this was a discussion he had had with Sammy many times and the conclusion was always the same. It couldn't be helped...that it was the will of God...well as far as he was concerned, God was a figment of people's imaginations now. he had never really suffered, but seeing the suffering of a good man like Luke pained him when Sara's killer was still out there free cause they never had caught him...it made him think long and hard about what he was supposed to be believing in and now he just didnt.

"Don't you see yourself as a good person Luke?" She questioned softly.

"Why would it be your fault Luke?" she asked softly starting to see another problem arising.

"It can be heard when your young...to remember having parents....seeing other people who still have theirs and wondering why you never got the chance they have..." Sara agreed softly, seeing how Luke would find it hard to seperate his parents from his new life as easy as other kids might. "Especially seeing as you were so young..."

"I'm sorry..." she said softly, understandingly. She knew it was best to just let patients talk out what was bothering them without interrupting them too much, but she had to let him know that she was listening. She would only talk back if there was something worthwhile she could say that could benifit Luke and right now there wasn't.

Biting her lip softly, Sara nodded having figured that some root of all this would have been something like that. The people that handled loss the worst were the people who it seemed to happen over and over to...and in this case she was betting that Luke was no exception. "I bet that was hard...to lose them so early..."

Bo swallowed gently, nodding softly. "Me an' Sammy help him through it when we can...I mean Luke has t'go at his own pace, it aint somethin that can be rushed. The reason I told you was because he ain't been around girls s'much since it happened...Sammy's the only one he really acts close to which is why sometimes it might seem like he's stepping the line just a bit...but Cass, don't take how he's treatin' ya personal like...he just don't wanna risk getting into uneasy territory and having to explain why or being rude and blowing ya off...don't mention it to him unless he mentions it and....god please dont pity him, he hates it. After the wake, people were comin up and saying sorry and how he'd find someone else and he flipped out...just...I know its hard...but act like you never found out okay...."

Sara nodded with a small smile, glad to see that already after a good nights sleep Luke was starting to think a little clearer. "That's a good place to begin..."

Sara nodded a little, setting her things down and sitting on the edge of the bed. "Alright...what about..."

Sara looked up from where she was reading through something, looking to him with a smile. "Yeah?"

*A day later* Bo sighed as he hung up the phone, not having had the heart or the will the day before to call everyone and let them know about their Uncle. He had just gotten off the phone with the last person whom he had had to call - which had happened to be Jeb Stuart - and had also just finished an argument with him. Jeb had immidiatly offered, as all the other cousins had done - to come down and help out around the farm until they were all back on their feet. Bo however had instantly come back with absolutly not...he hadn't told them about Luke and he was sure his cousin would want as few people knowing about it for as long as he could. How on earth he was going to explain Luke's abscence at Jesse's wake and funeral though was something else. Sighing he ran his hands through his hair tiredly, not getting much sleep through worry and the fact he had too many things going through his mind. Glancing up at the clock, he stood up and retrieved his boots, getting ready to go and see Luke again just like he had promised....plus he had to go to the hospital anyway and arange for Jesse's body to be brought back to Hazzard for the wake.

"Okay....okay....what we'll do is give you something to help you sleep tonight and tomorrow we'll start talking properly. Your way too emotional to do anything productive today..." Speaking in a soft tone, she also reached for her clipboard, noting down more things.

"Its okay...you dont have to know now. I understand this has been a hard day for you already, and the last thing you probably want to do right now is talk to a stranger. I was just letting you know so you could think a little on it and think about the kind of things you believe this to be coming from....and for us to get to know each other a little better..." She said with a soft smile.

"That is of course...if you actually want to be rescued...cause if you dont there's not a whole lot I can do. You have to want me to help you...you have to co operate with me and let me in to know all the things you dont want anyone to know...cause that's the only way I can get to the bottom of all this...if you dont talk to me I cant send that lifeline down to you..."

Sara nodded softly, still rubbing his back in a soothing manner. "Okay...well we'll work towards it and see if we can rescue you from that cave...and from experience I can tell you that it is very probable we'll be able to...no matter how long it may take."

I'd say thanks for serving my country but...I cant lol because I dont live in America, I'm in England but I can say I respect you so much for doing that job to keep your country safe. True Duke through and through Welcome to Hnet, I was at Dukesfest too with DaisyMae, did you see the trivia? I presented it with the voice man (the guy who did all the Dukes voices, which was so much fun). Glad you had such a good time, it was my first Dukesfest too and probably my last though I hope not.

lol awww well I kinda know how you feel with this show now lol. I watched Secret Life last night...poor Ben and Poor Amy especially now she feels she's got no where to go! Anyone else watching?! What are your thoughts?

"I'll take care of you while Bo's not here...I'm gonna help you get better so you dont have to be scared anymore...but you have to help me understand what your scared of..where all these feelings have come from...as much work as I can do, I'm not a miricle mind reader..." She explained to him softly.

Bo sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "There was an accident...when Abi wasn't born yet but around the time that she was due...Sara was here waiting for Luke t'get here an' someone tried to...tried to snatch her purse. Course, Sara being Sara she fought back and tried to keep it...but the guy pushed her and threw her to the curb...course...the shock started labour and..." Bo bit his lip, hating to have to be the one always to explain what had happened to Sara but Luke refused to talk about it. "Luke got there...he rushed her to the hospital...called me...took me an hour to get there...by the time I did, Abi'd already been delivered and...Sara...she urm...she'd passed on...she had a massive bleed...she hemorrhaged...when I caught up with Luke, Abi was in the special care unit cause they almost lost her..."

Okay, I can help you out on this one based on the episodes Bo was not in. The three he were not in were Baa Baa White Sheep, The Fortune Tellers and How to Suceed in Hazzard. The episodes I think your talking about is the third - How to Succeed in Hazzard but check all three and make sure i'm not wrong Bo does appear in the last two episodes but only at the end making a phone call that was pre recorded because good ol' John went to a Nascar rally instead of work...tsk tsk lol. And glad to know you have such faith in me Roger, you know one day your gonna ask me a question I dont know the answer too lol

"Now i'm sure that ain't true....." Sara said with a slight shake of her head "From the looks of things he loves you more than ever...he's scared for ya more than anything...until you hear words like that come out of his mouth, you should never put them in there....that leads to a whole mess of misunderstandings..."

"Why you think that?" She asked again, softly pressing for information but not making it seem so.

"So...why would this situation make that any different? I can see he loves and cares for you a lot...why would he a break a promise to you now hmm?" Sara tried to reason with him softly.

Bo hugged her close, wanting nothing more than to run back to Luke's room and protect his cousin for the rest of his life, like Luke had always done for him. He couldn't help but feel like he had already failed at being the head of the family...and he didn't even know if what he had done was even going to help Luke...from the looks of what Luke had done, he didn't actually want to accept the doctor's help... Sara nodded a little. "Well has he ever broke a real important promise to you before?"
