B.L. Davenport

The two Davenports laughed B.L. nodding "sure thing Bo it's been a while since we stanged an escape" Luke smiled at their banter he knew Bo was already feeling crowded and over protected. He'd have a word with Jesse later about giving Bo room to breathe, but he'd have to watch himself too so that he didn't over crowd Bo.

Luke sat the cup down on the coffee table when Bo was finished with the water. Still watching carefully to reassure himself that Bo was ok again after the coughing fit. Jesse sat on the other side of Bo anxiously only relaxing when the coughing fit subsided and his breathing returned to normal. Luke got to his feet looking out the window hearing a vehicle pull up into the yard, smiling as the Davenport cousin's Cooter and B.L. exited the tow truck and made their way toward the house. "Who is it Luke?" Jesse asked from his place next to Bo on the couch. "It's Cooter n' B.L." B.L. being the first in the door grinned seeing Bo looking almost back to normal the bruises still visible but not a strange sight because the boys were always getting into fights at the Boar's Nest. "Hey, how ya feelin' Bo?"

"Hey, how ya feelin' Bo?"

Luke reflexively moved closer rubbing Bo's back when he started to cough. That cough was worrying even though the doctor had said it wasn't serious it sounded as if it came straight from Bo's toes it was so harsh and deep. "Easy Bo, slow deep breaths" Jesse frowned as Bo coughed all thoughts of punishing Luke for anything banished from him in his concern for Bo. He really couldn't be mad at Luke anyway he hadn't been driving that fast because Daisy had been going so slow herself it didn't take much speed to catch up and pass the General. Sighing relieved when the coughing fit started to subside a bit. "Daisy would you get Bo a glass of water please?"

Luke hopped out of the Jeep jogging around to the passenger side,taking Bo's arm to steady him. Once out of the Jeep they carefully made their way inside where Luke deposited Bo on the couch thinking he really should be in bed but knowing he'd want to stay up and just enjoy being home for a little bit probably. Jesse and Daisy came inside a few minutes later with Jesse giving Luke a hard look that made the younger man look down sheepishly.

Luke looked at Bo sitting beside him eyes closed with a contented look on his face and smiled. Turning back to the road it wasn't long before they were pulling onto Mill Pond road headed for home. A few minutes later they pulled into the yard with the General close behind Jesse having stopped ranting but he still looked displeased as he squeezed himself out of the window grumbling as his overall's got caught. "It beats me why they welded perfectly working doors shut" Luke reached over nudging Bo slightly "Hey Bo we're home"

Luke looks back in the rearview mirror seeing Daisy patiently talking to Jesse but it looked like Jesse was having none of it. "Don't look like she's having much luck at calming him down, and even if he calms down don't mean I ain't in for a switchin'." Shrugging Luke continues to drive on there was no use worrying about it Jesse would either switch him regardless or let it pass with a warning he'd just have to wait till they got home to find out. Either way it was worth it to see Bo smile the first real smile they'd seen in days.

"Yeah poor General we'll make it up to him though." Luke grins as they pass the other two Dukes in the General Lee, waving to Daisy as they passed. Gulping a little at the glare Jesse was sending his direction. But he didn't slow down and drop back only picked up the speed a little until they were in front then moved back onto his side of the road. Jesse glared as Luke passed "I'm gonna tan his hide when we get home" he threatened gruffly.

"s'ok Bo I just over-reacted. That's a pretty rough cough ya got there, it's one of those deep down cough up a lung things. You'll be right as rain though before we know it." Luke continues on catching up with the General then looks at Bo with a mischevious grin and a twinkle in his eye. "Hey Bo wanna pass 'em?" He'd probably get yelled at for driving too fast by Uncle Jesse when they got home but it'd be worth it to see Bo enjoy himself even if only just the few minutes it took to pass the orange stock car.

I certainly agree with Lukas it was great thanks for sharing. B.L.

I've just got to add my two cents worth to this one. I don't know yet if I will see the new movie but am thinking about doing so. It's not that I am not a die hard Dukes Fan because I am like many others are. I grew up on this show being born when it first aired so ya might say I cut my teeth on it and was in LUVE as cooter says in 'Limo One is Missing' when I was actually old enough to know what I was watching. I agree that the new movie last year was a poor imitation of Dukes as we know it and love it. But although this one will probably have the vulgar language in it same as the other along with nudity it's sort of an insight to what the Dukes were before we met them in 1979. We also have to be realistic about the foul launguage it was a little rougher in the first season that it was in the last because they toned things down after that first season upon finding out so many kids across america were watching the show. Ok I'm done now just wanted to voice my own opinion. B.L. Davenport

I read this thread some time ago when I first joined but didn't add anything because I couldn't make up my mind who my favorite really was these days. As a child it was Bo all the way no questions asked with Luke coming in a close second. Now though it's Cooter at the top and all the Dukes coming in second. As a kid I watched and Bo was the hot blonde one and Luke the hot brunette and with the General Lee they were the heroes of the show so were automatically my favorites. Now though I can appreciate what each character brings to the show but have really come to appreciate what Cooter brings to the show. I know he's not a regular character but I like L.B. too he runs a close race for 3rd with Hazzard's finest .

My collection is now complete as soon as my season 7 arrives in the mail which should be sometime this week . I can't wait to see Happy b'day General Lee and Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Duke. B.L. Davenport

Luke sighed loosening his tight grip on the steering wheel. "I didn't mean ta overreact Bo, *smiles* now is not the best time for a long pause before that particular punch line. *seriously* I just can't shake how hurt ya've been and I know yer lots better than before but that cough ya still got is a little disconcerting though." Pulls back onto the road again heading for home this time going a little faster to catch back up with the General Lee before Uncle Jesse can worry about them lagging behind.

Cool I really like it.

"I........I'm sorry Bo.....you ok?" Luke turned to look at Bo eyes wide with fear. He couldn't lose Bo now not after the doctor said everything would be fine once his body healed. Surely god wouldn't be so cruel as to take Bo after he was improving so much. "w...what you.....said about dyin' still that ain't.....so the doctor said you'd be fine.......after everythin' was healed."

Luke slammed on the brakes coming to an almost complete stop right smack dab in the middle of the highway. It was his greatest fear put into words. He hadn't seen Bo smile to himself because he was watching the road. His heart was racing trying to keep pace with his imagination.

Luke looked at him worriedly from the corner of his eye sighing in relief when the coughing fit didn't last long. He figured Bo would be annoyed with them all before he was completely well for watching him so closely.

Luke rolled his eyes smirking "Now I didn't say that but if Uncle Jesse wasn't around we might not be drivin' hardly this careful. I ain't takin' no chances though." He was glad Bo was in better spirits and able to banter about it all. It wouldn't do him any good health wise to mope.

Luke chuckled shaking his head "can't pull nothin' on you....I know ya ain't a porcelin doll but just the same I'm gonna take it easy cos even if you can handle a bit o' rough drivin' I ain't prepared ta take a switchin' from Uncle Jesse for it."

"Not that I know of? Does somethin' look wrong to you, maybe I should get Cooter ta take a look." Regards Bo from the corner of his eye the sigh and head shaking not going unnoticed. "What's wrong Bo?"

Luke gets behind the wheel of Dixie he, Daisy and Uncle Jesse had already talked over and he would bring Bo home in Dixie while Jesse and Daisy took the General Lee home. Once everyone was ready Luke allowed Daisy to pull out first in the General then pulled out behind her as they started home at a leisurely speed but not so slow it felt like a crawl.

The movie was great I enjoyed it very much thanks for sharing.

watching Bo carefully as they exited the hospital Luke saw the hurt cross his face knowing he couldn't ride or drive the general anytime soon. Luke mentally kicks himself the car should have been at home so that Bo wouldn't have had to feel that hurt so soon. He was however releaved when the brief hurt expression passed from Bo's features but then he saw something else that made him worry Bo was putting together a plan of some sort. Jesse wasn't paying attention to Bo's sudden changes in demeanor though he was concentrating on helping Bo to the jeep. Once to it he and Luke helped bo get into the passenger seat.

Luke pulls back looking Bo in the eye with a smile and nod "s'ok Bo.....let's get ya chnged then we'll go home 'kay" Helping Bo change clothes and put on his boots the two leave the room with Luke's arm around Bo's waist for support he still wasn't 100% but would have probably refused any suggestion of using a wheelchair. Sees Uncle Jesse and Daisy coming back down the hall smiles telling them everything was ok again at least for now. "Ya'll ready ta go?" Jesse reaches the two before Daisy helping Luke to support Bo as they slowly make their way down the hall. "yup let's get home."
