Bo bit his lip as he heard the rocks crumble, shaking his head as his body now too started to tremble in fear. Swallowing gently he stepped out the darkness of the trees and headed quietly towards Luke, calling out softly so as not to startle him. "Luke...Luke c'mon cousin...please come away from there..."

Little did Luke know, that as soon as Luke had stepped out the bedroom Bo was hot on his heels. He knew his older cousin wouldn't want him to know that he had gone missing, but as soon as Luke had started this kinda downward spiral in his life, Bo had been more alert and atune to his older cousin than ever. This time in life was hard on all of the Duke cousins, and most of Hazzard too...but to Bo, it seemed like Luke was starting to think that life just wasn't worth living anymore. Out of all the emotions Bo had ever imagined Luke going through because of this....depression and thoughts of suicide were never one of them. And he knew too that that was what his cousin was thinking of...just by things he let slip sometimes or by the way he looked. Bo had never needed his tightly closed cousins words to understand how he was feeling, same as Luke never needed his. They knew each other like twins, and sometimes Bo couldn't help but think that they had that sort of connection too. No...Luke Duke - as far as Bo knew - had never considered suicide...though if he had in the War and the POW camps Bo couldn't really say that he would blame him. But Luke had always said the thought of his family back home - especially Bo - always got him through because he knew how much he, Daisy and Jesse needed him. Luke Duke had never given up...though right now he wasn't sure if Luke was even there. Usually Luke would have noticed Bo was following him in an instant, with all the Marine training and all, but this time he hadn't even appeared to notice. Bo had been sitting behind Luke hidden in the trees just as long as Luke had been there...his heart beating loudly at Luke's procarious position on the edge of the cliff. This situation was affecting Bo badly too...but he could put aside all thought of his own hurt if it meant keeping his cousin with him...

Bo coughed lightly as Luke spoke, swallowing against his dry throat so talking wasn't so painful...he knew that they needed to do a fair bit, even if they didn't talk about everything they needed to today. "I know....ya been here....heard ya..."

Bo looked over to them as the doctor left the room with a small smile to the family, writing some notes down on his clipboard. The head of his bed had been raised so he could sit up properly without discomfort, his head resting against the soft pillows laid under it. Smiling a little, he whispered back - his energy still quite low and his throat dry and scratchy from having the tube down there so long. "Hey..." Daisy and Jesse decided that for a little while, it'd be better for Luke just to spend some time with his brother and hopefully start the process of getting everything back to how it should be again.

Daisy gasped in surprise as Luke suddenly turned and picked her up, laughing a little as he swung her round before putting her down. Shaking her head, she watched him help Cassie back to her room before looking to Jesse. "You think maybe things can actually get back t'how they used to be..." Jesse sighed and put an arm around her. "Daisy girl....I dont know if they can ever be the same as before...there's gonna be reprucutions from this...they may get back to even better than before depending on what happens. Bo's awake, let's just focus on the present for now and help him through his recovery then we'll see what goes on from there...lord knows its about time I got my boys back though..."

The nurse nodded again with a small chuckle at how impatient Luke seemed, knowing that the whole family had been protective and anxious about Bo's recovery through the whole of it. "Of course in just a minute once the doctor's finished looking him over and finished running his tests to check for any other problems that may have arisen. He'll be out in just a little bit."

lol varies depending on what level you do.,...for example there's one where you have to raise a rukus in the town square, real easy But there's one that i'm stuck on where you have to transport dynamite in the GL....your not allowed one tiny bump...the general must not leave the floor or go too quick otherwise BOOM and you start the level all over again...so difficult!!! But its good fun...the GL is a pig to handle

It was put as used but in really good condition but it came wrapped like it was new. Not a mark on the disk and with the instruction booklet.

Before long the nurse came out with a small smile, looking to the hopeful family with a small nod. "He's awake and as far as we can see doing fine....he's still having a little trouble breathing but that's mainly where we've now taken him off the ventilator is all. He's on oxygen to make breathing a little eaisier until he can fully do it himself." Daisy laughed happily with joy, hugging her Uncle as she smiled, glad that things were finally starting to look up again.

Daisy was pleased to see a smile break out on Luke's tired and stressed looking features, having missed it for a fair long while now and hoping it would not be the last one she saw for some time to come. Before either of them knew it - both lost in their own thoughts - they were back at the quiet farm.

Revving the Jeep to life, Daisy pulled out the parking lot while Jesse followed in the truck, smiling a little. "What your dream is to settle down and make dresses? I always knew there was something strange about you Luke Duke..." She said with a giggle, knowing that wasn't what Luke meant but after everything she wanted to try and lighten the atmosphere up a little. " And yeah, I did nod at you as I was getting in, in answer to your question. I'm working from lunctime till late in the night."

Daisy nodded in response to Luke's question as she got in the car but didn't get thrown off the original topic of conversation at hand. "I think her main dream Luke is to be here leading the quiet life with you...somewhere she can feel loved and safe with a proper family and make those dresses in that peace and quiet...I know after all this it would be what I would want..."

"Yeah...and hopefully the system will realize what Cassie needs most is professional help more than being thrown in jail...then maybe one day she can come back and you two can really work something out..." Daisy consoled softly, she still liked Cassie even if she didn't trust her with her family as much as she once did. She wanted the girl to get the help she needed, she wanted the friend that she used to play dollies with back...just as much as Luke wanted the woman he loved back.

Daisy nodded gently, keeping her arm round his waist softly as they walked across the parking lot. She had figured something like that had happened when Cassie's wound was in her side, Bo's a direct hit and Luke having not even a scratch on him. "Well...people do crazy things when in love apparently..."

John's hair is really Brunette Bo's Belle, I have photographic evidence! lol

Daisy bit her lip and gently followed with Jesse, jogging to catch up with Luke before wordlessly slipping an arm around his waist and giving him a small squeeze, walking beside him. By doing it, she offered him what little comfort she could as well as trying to apologize for everything that had been happening.

I've got all three of the Dukes games (both PS1's and the PS2) and they are all so awsome. The graphics in the PS1's are awful lol but its good fun to play with and as for the PS2 game, I brought mine of amazon for around $6....so you shouldn't be paying 80 lol

Daisy looked up as her older cousin approached, smiling softly to him even though she felt just as bad as Jesse did. Cassie had always been a good friend of the family, and many years ago it would have been such a thrill that Cassie would have been part of the family through Luke and her's relationship....but over the years Cassie had followed a dark and dangerous path while she had been away from Hazzard and it was not one that the Dukes could follow her down. Bo had nearly been lost twice because of her connections with her shady past and too many times she too had nearly been lost to them and to Luke, hurting the boy along the way, toying with emotions that Luke didn't need being toyed with. As much as they would have loved having Cassie with them, now they couldn't help but fear it and the people that may be after her...they could no longer be sure of anything she said or did...it would take time to build up that trust with the family again, especially with Bo....and unfortunatly time was something that was not on their side.

Sighing, Jesse nodded gently. "You dont gotta ask my permission anymore Luke...you ain't a child..."

Jesse nodded a little and so did Daisy, but it was Daisy that actually spoke up as Jesse just didn't know what to say on the matter anymore. He felt like he had been arguing both boys cases to each other till he was blue in the face but neither one had refused to budge. Now that Luke was however, he couldn't help but feel just a little bit guilty that Luke was giving up someone he loved because of their own fears and prejudices. Daisy stepped forward and put a hand on her older cousn's arm. "Luke...all we ever want is for you to be happy...We're sorry if...we forced you into this..."

Jesse just looked back at him and shrugged softly. "I don't know son...I don't know what's happening with Cassie's case...cause I aint a family member or anything i'm not allowed to know..."

Jesse shook his head softly "I already took care of it earlier son when I left a while ago...me an' Rosco had a nice friendly chat about it, and neither him nor Enos are gonna fess up an' say they saw ya release Cassie...they ain't got no proof...sides, you were the one helped put Sawyer behind bars again so...hopefully everything should be ok fer ya..."

Jesse nodded softly, putting a hand on Luke's shoulder and squeezing it gently - that being the most public display of affection Luke had ever really accepted from his Uncle or cousins. "I know son..."
