B.L. Davenport

I recently bought the 1:18 scale RC with every intention of 'playing' with it lol still haven't yet my best friend's 2yr old daughter discovered the car was within her reach and turned the car on and when I started to give it a test drive the battery was dead and I haven't replaced it yet. My older cousin is getting her nephew the smaller scale for his birthday I think. He was fascinated with my bigger one but only got to drive inside the house and hasn't been able to find one for himself. The poor kid is deprived cos he don't own an RC General Lee hopefully we can correct that soon. B.L.

Luke laughs it being a running joke with alot of truth to it that he and Bo were Cooter's main source of income. Either wrecking the General or causing Hazzard's police force to need towing and a good deal of the time fixing which always resulted in Boss Hogg nearly getting a vapor lock when he got the bill for the county. "We'll try to do better now that Bo's up and around" B.L. sighed working here at the Boar's Nest had been as much fun as it always was when she came with the Duke boys or Cooter who was more apt to loosen the reins than her older brother L.B. She'd not even had much chance to think about Daisy's asking her if she'd like to ask Boss Hogg for a job. But thinking about it now she was defenitely game as soon as Daisy's shift was over before they started back to the Duke farm.

Luke grins as Cooter disappears,he knew that Cooter wouldn't let parts meant for the General go to anyone else. "See Bo I tole ya Cooter wouldn't let nobody else have the parts for General Lee" Seeing Cooter come back with a box,Luke takes it from him and sticks it in the window of the General on the backseat. "Thanks Cooter...How's business,without us findin ya jobs?" B.L. slumps against the bar as things slow down for a minute. It'd been a busy day but a profitable one for her. Not being a regular employee so not having to give Boss a portion, she'd been sticking the tips folks gave her in her pocket.

Luke smiles as he watches Cooter's obvious delight at seeing Bo out and about again. "Hey Coot ya still got those parts for the General? I think it's about time me 'n Bo got him fixed up for the next upcoming race."

Luke looked over at Bo grinning at the return of the carefree wide grin on Bo's face and the first totally at ease look in his eyes that hadn't been there in forever it seemed. Sliding around the curves toward the garage feeling at ease again himself. As they go through the town Luke slides the General Lee to a stop in front of the garage. "Hey Cooter ya here?"

Luke wraps a protective arm around Bo's waist guiding him across the room,flipping off the light switch and out the door. Outside in the bright sunlight Luke squints his eyes waiting for them to adjust to the change in light. Stopping at the passenger side of the General Lee,Luke gently helps Bo slide in the window before scrambling across the hood to climb in the driver's window cranking the powerful motor and pulling out heading for Cooter's. Slinging some dirt and sending the General airborne again. Not saying anything just letting Bo think things over and really come to terms with the fact that an end to his torment was indeed true.

Seeing the trust in Bo's eyes Luke swears to himself to keep that promise at all cost. He'd not be letting Bo out of his sight until Bo himself had decided he was ready to do things on his own again. Luke smiles one more time at Bo before putting an arm around his shoulders with a chuckle "Let's go see Cooter and get them parts this place gives me the creeps."

Bo's need for reassurance that he is safe makes luke smile.Kind of reminding Luke of when Bo was a kid and had nightmares. Always needing Luke's reassurance that the monsters in the night wouldn't get him. Giving Bo a squeeze Luke shakes his head against the side of Bo's head. Then pulling Bo back slightly so that his younger cousin can see into his intent baby blue eyes and read the depth of the words there. "Nope they ain't nobody gonna get ya nomore, my word as a Duke! Your safe now Bo I ain't gonna let nobody ever do this kind of thing to you ever again."

Luke pulls Bo into a tight hug his hand cupping the back of Bo's head. Closing his eyes and releasing a deep breath. "Yeah Bo it's all over.....everything's ok now"

Sighing relieved when Bo's eyes clear and he speaks,Luke smiles reassuringly at Bo still keeping hold of his hand not willing to break the connection as much as for himself as Bo. "Yeah Bo?....I'm here,you ok?"

Luke feels the tight girp on his hand but this time he can't even begin to imagine the things that are running through Bo's head. God only knows what the vamits did to him while he was here,this thought causing a rage in Luke like no other he'd ever felt before. Luke's mind is made up as he pulls a little more firmly on Bo's hand trying to get him to move,he's going to talk to Mr. Flatt about destroying this old dilapidated cabin. Certain that the owner will gladly get rid of the building that has caused so much pain for the Dukes especially Bo. "Bo we need ta get home Uncle Jesse'll be out lookin for us. We been gone too long already."

Getting no response from Bo just the blank look still,Luke waves a hand in front of Bo's eyes. When this fails to snap Bo from the trance like state he takes Bo by the hand to lead the younger man from the cabin as if he were a small child. Tugging gently "c'mon Bo let's go"

Examining the syringe a second longer,Luke then wraps it in his handkerchief before placing it in his shirt pocket. Looking back at the blank look in Bo's eyes,suddenly feeling that this isn't where Bo needs to be right now. It's as if Bo isn't even in the same room anymore. Tapping Bo's arm "C'mon Bo we'd better get home before Uncle Jesse starts ta worry."

Luke releases a shocked gasp as Bo pulls the syringe out of the stove,the guys who had held him hostage sure didn't worry about getting rid of evidence. Luke stares at the syringe in Bo's hand for a moment before reaching over to take it,intending to take it home with them so he can send it off to Atlanta to be analyzed to hopefully find out just what sort of drugs the goons had given Bo.

Luke follows Bo to the stove kneeling down next to his cousin. Watching Bo as he fingers the ropes already knowing that Bo is recalling his captivity here. Not saying anything but already having decided that at the first signs on distress he was taking Bo home whether he wanted to go or not.

Luke follows as Bo pushes open the door part of him scared to death at what's inside this hut. But anger again at the men who'd nearly destroyed Bo was battling it out with the fear inside of him. Keeping a hand on Bo's shoulder and staying close to him, Luke wills the tremors he can feel shaking his knees not to make it to his hand. Gulping "Bo, you ok?"

Luke slides out of the driver's side window and quickly walks across the hood jumping down behind Bo landing with a soft thud. Following on Bo's heels nearly bumping into him. As Bo reaches up to touch the back of his head, and Luke too sees the dried blood from over Bo's shoulder he it hits him that this is the place where Bo had been kept prisoner. Gulping slightly Luke places a hand on Bo's shoulder as much for his cousin's reassurance as his own a sudden chill running down his spine as he gazes at the small pool of dried blood,Bo's blood!

Luke looked over at Bo's outstretched hand following the shaking hand pointing to the hut that Bo was looking at. Not liking the sudden change in Bo,Luke hesitates before slowly making his way in that direction. Inhaling deeply then blowing it out slowly, Luke tries to calm his own nerves. "What's wrong Bo?

Luke laughs then turns to look at Bo still grinning, it was great to be doing the things together they hadn't been able to do in a while. Watching Bo as he leans up to slightly rub his back but satisfied he hasn't suffered any great amount of pain just a minor ache. "Me too cousin me too"

Luke nods those eyes get him everytime and truth be told he wanted to feel the rush just as much as Bo. So with a last warning "Don't say I didn't warn you" he hits the ramp at top speed flying through the air whooping. Grinning widely as the General makes contact again with a sound thud jostling them both.

I just got this link from a friend and thought I'd share it with the rest of you. It's pretty cute lol although if there's a point to it I'm not sure I've figured it out yet oh well enjoy! http://www.topeuro.co.uk/blagger/the_duel.html

Luke nearly lost control of the car at Bo's request, looking over at his younger cousin concernedly not sure it'd be a good idea. It'd just been earlier in the day Bo didn't want anyone touching his back. "Ya sure that's a good idea cousin? I don't wanna do nothin that's gonna cause ya pain"

"He's still got'em I'm sure of it,ya know Cooter'd never let somebody else have the General's parts unless he had no other choice." Luke drives on to Mud Flatts keeping their speed down to 55mph just in case Rosco or Enos comes along. At Mud Flatts though he revs up the powerful motor,stepping hard on the General Lee's accelarator as they race across the land.

Luke grins as Bo whoops, nodding at Bo's feeling's of being just as safe in the General as at home he himself feels the same way. Turning the big stock car toward Mud Flatts. "Well how about some racin' up at Mud Flatts? Rosco can't ticket us there it's private property." Continues to go that direction,it's been a long week and nothing has ever made Bo happier than racing around in the General Lee.

Luke takes Bo by the arm,going the 10 or so feet to the passenger side of the General Lee. Assissting Bo inside as little as possible to allow him to have his independence. Once Bo is situated in the passenger seat Luke goes around climbing under the steering wheel and pulling out of the yard. Once turning onto the dirt road Luke looks over to Bo with a questioning look as he asks the two most upper questions in his mind. "Why the sudden change of mind about leaving the farm? Where to?"
