B.L. Davenport

Cooter laughs quietly "Yeah guess your right there's not gonna be much of 'em left if I don't get in the head of the line at least before all them girls find out what's been going on and how Bo's been." B.L. nods giggling from her perch on the counter "If I was them goons I'd be beggin ta be put under the jail." Luke pokes out his bottom lip in a mock pout "Are ya sayin I didn't look good before? Lotta girls think I'm kinda cute." before turning serious at Bo's labored breathing "Ya been doin too much talkin and ya been out of the oxygen tent a long time. Just do like ya been doing to get it back to normal and if that don't help we'll get ya some pure oxygen for a bit but you've done really well without it lot better than any of us thought ya would."

Cooter returns the smile still seething though at what the crooks had told Bo and gotten him so upset he made himself sick the Dukes is like a surrogate family to him. "Sounds good ta me Daisy, these guys'll know not to mess with Hazzard folk from now on. If it was me though I'd put 'em under the jail !" Luke grins at Bo's look then laughs complaining good naturedly. "Alright alright your forgive just turn off the puppy eyes. Ya know you's ain't been playin fair since ya started feelin better. First ya tricked me into gettin some sleep now ya givin me puppy eyes to make me feel guilty for scoldin ya."

Never mind about my trouble finding the main ranking list it helps to look around the site a little all I had done was click the link in this forum then save it to my favorites. B.L.

B.L. nods acceptance of this and then lifts herself to sit on the counter since all the chairs are taken, as they listen to the troopers discussion. Luke gives Bo a scolding look but the effect is lost behind the grin he's still wearing. "Don't talk with ice in ya mouth you's got more chance of chokin on it than ya normally would."

That would be me that submitted the one with 'The' in the title as you said Duke_It that is technically the correct title but I noticed there wasn't any votes except mine so did a search without the and got the other one so have been voting on it. Iloveschneider how are you finding out the totals of other shows? latest update, 123 votes, and ranking is now #62. Come on we still have 38 shows to pass to get to the #1 spot! "24 Current vote total is 85419. Rank is #1. " This is what we need to beat! Only need 85300 votes to pass and be ahead. We can do it. All I get is DOH's statistics I know on the other voting site they had a list of all the shows so you could keep up with the votes on everything so people knew how far they had to go for their show to be #1.B.L.[i

B.L. is a little awed and her heart is warmed at the caring attitudes of the troopers as if they were family, most of them as far as she knows doesn't even know Bo except for the tall grey haired man who'd introduced himself as Alan Dresdon. Knowing now isn't the time to argue with Daisy B.L. just nods and answers "I'll put somethin in the fridge for ya." Leans down whispering so the troopers can't hear her now "Ya gotta promise to eat somethin tho I ain't about to tell Uncle Jesse you didn't he'd skin us both alive." Uncle Jesse reaches for the cup pouring some of the ice chips in handing them to Bo then to eat as many as he wants this time. "Well sure ya can" Luke's face breaks out in a stunned expression as he sticks a finger in his ear as if he's trying to clear it of something that's interfering with his hearing. "Bo did ya just hear yourself? You's just said a whole sentence without pausin to catch ya breath you ain't been able to do that since before ya passed out."

Cooter looks at the papers nodding and steadily growing angry at the men who had almost destroyed his best friend's peaceful lives. The state police also nodding their understanding of the plan all mentally preparing to bring the crooks to justice. B.L. having already eaten was standing at Daisy's shoulder noticing Daisy hadn't ate a bite since entering the kitchen. Placing a hand on her friend's shoulder "Daisy you should eat somethin we're all gonna need our strength tonight." Luke sits holding Bo while he (Bo) leans against his (Luke's) chest resting after the bout of coughing just gathering his strength back "I don't think any of will cuz"

Cooter raises a hand in greeting "Hi Daisy" B.L. goes to the front door stepping out onto the porch holding it open for the state police and then escorting them back to the kitchen where Cooter is. "Hello gentleman, come right in there's some lunch on the table if you'd care for anything. This is my cousin Cooter Davenport." The men exchange greetings then the police sit down at the table as they all wait for Daisy. Luke grasps Bo's hand on his shirt holding it,waiting for the coughing to pass. Good Bo just stay calm and breathe slow and easy.

Luke gently cuffs Bo upside the head not wanting the playing to get too out of hand mindful of Bo's still raspy breathing. Replying in the voice of an old man. "I tole ya to cut the old stuff you young whippersnapper" Cooter sits down filling a plate,eating heartily "So what's all this goin on that ya need the state police? It got anythin' to do with them guys you'n Daisy had me helpin look for?" B.L. takes a seat across Cooter eating her own lunch nodding as she chews then swallows "Yeah but you'll have to wait till the state police get here to find out more that way we only gotta tell it once." Cooter nods "K no problem when they gonna be here" B.L. looks at the clock "Shouldn't be too much longer now."

Luke quirks an eyebrow pretending to be eyeing Bo critically. Despite the obviously apparent ill health and the look in his eyes and the raspy breathing, the carefree grin and playfull mood lightens the stressful tension in Luke as he tosses back at Bo his own sarcastic comment. "Maybe I would but you'd fall over if I was to blow hard on ya or a good puff of wind came through." Uncle Jesse smiles as the two cousins verbally poke at each other. As B.L. finishes up the lemonade Cooter's towtruck pulls into the yard as he makes his way to the door she calls "Daisy Cooter's here" As Cooter walks in the back door she asks with a smirk knowing the answer before asking "Ya hungry?"

Luke scowls mockingly at Bo trying to look offended as he protests but not quite succeeding. "Heey watch it sick or not those are fightin words I'd hate to hafta whup yer tail just ta show ya I still can."

Luke runs the opposite hand down the back of Bo's head and neck a couple of times as Jesse takes the rag and wipes the back of Bo's neck. When Bo starts to calm Uncle Jesse lays the wet cloth on the bedside table. Luke laughs slightly although its not a real laugh he's still trying to calm himself down and return his own breathing and heartrate to normal. "Bo you's gotta stop scarin me like this or I'm gonna have a heartattack before I'm as old as Uncle Jesse." Uncle Jesse smacks Luke on the shoulder chiding gruffly "Careful Luke your treadin on thin ice there."

Luke turns Bo's face to look directly at him as he tries to get through the nightmare. "Bo it's ok it's Luke and Uncle Jesse, ya got to calm down buddy. If ya don't calm down and get yer breathin under control again that doctor's gonna come back in here and put ya back under that tent." Hearing what Luke just told Bo about the oxygen tent Uncle Jesse decides to tell them what the doctor had just told them in hopes that it would penetrate Bo's mind and calm him. "Bo Luke's right just calm down and breathe easy. The docotor's just been while you's two was asleep, and he was real pleased that ya had made it so long without being in the tent that he said ya could go home maybe later tonight or tomorrow depending on how ya was doing. But Bo he ain't gonna let ya go if your breathing this way." Luke grins as he has begun to rub circles on Bo's back having started to breathe like before at the window in hopes that Bo would begin to copy him. "Hey that's great ain't it Bo, just breathe with me so's you can go home sooner." Uncle Jesse takes Bo's right hand holding it up for Bo to see the bandaid as he makes his next statement. "Look Bo the IV's gone, doc said the infection had cleared up so that he was gonna put ya on some antibiotics by mouth to finish clearin it up insteada with the IV ain't that whatcha wanted was to be free of all the wires and tubes?"

Returning Daisy's smile B.L. finishes her hair and then goes into the kitchen as Daisy goes to take a shower,making sure everything was ready for lunch. Looking in the refridgerator B.L. sees only milk in it so decides to make some lemonade while Daisy showers. Bo's struggles don't bother Luke at first he's so deep in sleep but after a minute or two he jerks awake releasing Bo from his embrace shaking his shoulder to try and get Bo's full attention in hopes of calming his breathing. Luke calls out frantically never taking his eyes from Bo "Uncle Jesse he ain't breathin good again I think he's havin a nightmare." At Luke's frantic tone Uncle Jesse leaves his chair getting a wet cloth once again and wiping the sweat from Bo's face rubbing a weather worn hand up and down the boy's arm to try and calm him. whispering soothingly "It's ok Bo your ok Uncle Jesse and Luke are right here with ya." Luke still trying to get Bo's attention "BO wakeup c'mon cousin wakeup and breathe with me just like before."

"Yeah we could we can worry about that later though we've got other things to think about right now." Goes to Daisy's room looking through the closet deciding on a pair of jeans and a pink t-shirt,coming back out and heading for the bathroom B.L. calls back over her shoulder "Thanks" Ten minutes later B.L. comes out dressed in the pink t-shirt,jeans and her own black boots, combing through her shoulder thick brown layered shoulder length hair. Sitting down on the couch B.L. parts her hair down the middle quickly french braiding it into two braids. Back at the hospital the doctor knocks softly on the door getting a nod of entrance from Jesse who is sitting in the chair by the window. Entering Bo isn't visible at first but upon further entrance the doctor sees the two slumbering young men on the opposite bed the blonde still breathing with slightly raspy breaths but much easier than the doc's last rounds. "How long has he been out of the tent?" Uncle Jesse looks at his pocket watch then back to the doctor with a happy smile "About 2 hours now I'd say and he's been breathing more or less ok the whole time. Had some trouble at first but it righted itself with a bit of coachin from Luke." The doctor nods pleased with the progress as he writes the information down on Bo's chart. Then setting the chart down he steps to the other bed "I really don't want to disturb either one of them but I need to listen to Beaureguard's chest." So being careful not to bother either Duke boy the doctor puts the disc of the stethascope to Bo's back and chest listening and noting that the congestion is greatly improved. Removing the instrument from his ears the doctor turns back to Jesse. "The infection is clearing nicely I don't hear near the amount of congestion that I heard even this morning. I think I can easily dispense with the IV antibiotics and give him something by mouth now to finish clearing it up." This news is greatly accepted lifting a massive weight off Jesse's chest as he shakes the doctor's hand "That's good news Doc,how long before he can go home if he's going to be on antibiotics by mouth?" The doctor turns to the same cabinet as before taking out a few alcohol pads,cotton ball,bandaid and examination gloves before going back to the bed and placing the alcohol pad over the needle slowly removes it from the back of Bo's hand then replaces the pad with the cottonball and bandaid as he ponders the question. "I'd say possibly later this evening if not then it'll be tomorrow sometime. If his breathing stays this good of course." "Of course Doc, Bo'll be real happy to hear that when he wakes up." Jesse bids the doctor goodbye and returns to the chair by the window while the boys sleep and he waits for the girls to return.

B.L. nods she hadn't even thought of it possibly making Bo worse if they brought something in for him,only thinking about making him feel better. "Your right Bo can't handle catching anything else right now I hadn't thought past just maybe making him feel better." Follows Daisy back down the hall into the livingroom as Daisy puts the bag by the front door "Yeah that way you can have as long a shower as ya want. Uh can I borrow some clothes?"

"Sure thing Daisy" B.L. picks up the phone asking Mabel to get her the state police. When the call is put through she asks for the man Alan Dresdon that Daisy told her to ask for. Once he's on the line B.L. explains the situation of Bo being in the hospital and just saying there was a attempt on his life after he found out something he wasn't supposed to. Which isn't exactly true but it was enough to get Alan Dresdon to agree to bring some agents and meet at the Duke farm to get more information. Thanking Alan and then hanging up B.L. goes in search of Daisy telling her. "That Alan Dresdon fella said him and some others from the state police would be here in 45 minutes. That gives us time to shower,change,and get a bite to eat. Maybe even make something to take back for Uncle Jesse and the boys I'm sure they'd appreciate it. Maybe some homemade icecream for Bo that'd be easy on his throat."

B.L. nods "Ok guess he's right ain't none of us helpin Bo if we're all tired and nervous as a sore tailed cat in a room full of rockin chairs. I'm the only one that's had a good night's sleep in my own bed,so it wouldn't hurt you none to take a nap." B.L. turns onto Mill Pond Road leading to the Duke farm not even questioning what Daisy has told her that Uncle Jesse said for them to do. Arriving in the yard of the farm B.L. steps out out of the car going toward the door then turning back to wait for Daisy.

giggling "Yup and Rosco's always lockin 'im and Luke for some trumped up charge or another. Which means if Bo thought it was Rosco and Boss' doin he wouldn't be mad at you." *comments idly* "Wouldn't hurt none if ol Luke was held prisinor too he looks like he could fall over from exhaustion any minute." Picking up the cb mic B.L. hands it to Daisy "How about givin Cooter a holler to meet us at the farm that way we can fill him in,call the state police and get clothes for Bo all in one stop. Get back to the hospital sooner that way."

B.L. laughs with an evil twinkle in her eyes "You could always borrow Enos' handcuffs and cuff him to the bed for those two weeks. I should still be in pretty good standing though I don't have to live with him and enforce bedrest."

B.L. wrapped her own arm around Daisy's waist as they headed for the car. "I can't say I blame him fer not likin them gowns....they's not only embarissin but drafty!" Getting in the driver's seat of 'red fury' as Daisy gets in the passenger seat and they start out of the parking lot headed back to Hazzard. Looking over to Daisy grinning feeling better than any of them has felt for days. "Guess we'll be Bo's favorite girls for a while if we bring him some real clothes. Better get some for Luke too he's been wearin the same ones ever since Bo was brought in. Bet after they get home they'll both sleep for a week."

B.L. stands stretching her long legs grinning "I think your right about Bo and the hopsital gown. Think I'll come with you I'm pretty sure Uncle Jesse can handle anything that comes up with those two all on his own." Uncle Jesse stops at the door to Bo's room not hearing a sound,stepping into the room not seeing the boys at the window first anger at the thought they had left the room and then panic that maybe Bo had gotten worse again,but as he looks around the room spotting both on the opposite bed sound asleep a smile of relief creeps onto his face. Looking in the small closet space in the room Uncle Jesse pulls a light blanket from the top shelf covering the boys neither one stirring with his actions. Luke is completely unknowing of the things around him, his sleep is a dreamless sleep so deep that its almost like a coma.
