"Yeah..Bo Duke...come meet him..." invited Luke.

"Troy...I want ya to meet my brother Bo...he's driven for NasCar..you like race cars don't ya?"

Hnk had ridden on for a long ways before convincing himself that Joe wasn't down there. Turning around he headed back to where Loraine had agreed to meet with him at the fork.

"Right," said Frank. "Let's go." Hank sped along the road, but there was no sign of Joe.

"Troy...no I ain't...I just don't want ya to be sick...sides theer's someone I want ya to meet"

Hank nodded. "You be careful." With that he took off quickly.

Luke fumbled his way to the bushes. "Troy...Troy ...it's me...Luke...they didn't se ya...ya can come out..."

"Get my crtches and I'll see if he'll come to me."

Hank sighed. Part of him wanted to say since Joe could make trouble he could get himself out of it...but deep inside he knew that as mad as he was at Joe, he didn't want him hurt...and he too had a bad feeling. He unhitched one of Jeremiah's horses tying the other to a tree with a rope from th back of the wagon. Climbing on the horse, he looked to Loraine. "Come on...ya!"

"That's Troy...he must be on the run again."

Luke saw the blur. "Troy..."

Frank nodded. "Well...let's get to it." Hank frowned seeing his uncle's cart with no driver. "What are they doing out here?!" he asked as Loraine led the now caught horses to him.

Luke carefully got in the truck, handing his crutches to Bo to put in the back.

Luke nodded, fumbling out the doorway on his crutches.

Hank had his gun drawn and was standing protectively in front of Loraine, knowing he kind of riffraff that ran the roads at night.

Hank smiled. "You look mighty fine t' me..." he said softly.

Hank flushed a little. No one had ever referred to him as a gentleman since Rebeccah. "Must be bein in the presence of such a fine lady...can't help bein so..."

Hank took hold of her hand and lifted it to his lips kssing it gently. Frank smirked. "Let's see if he likes to swim as much as he likes to snoop."

Luke swallowed. "We'll see..."

Frank kept the gun pointed at his head. "Tie him up Jesse..." Hank leaned into her as he kissed her again.

Luke shrugged. "She always was smart."

Frank pointed a gun on him as he opened the door. "Going somewhere Duke?"

Hank stared into her eyes. "Ain't good t' be alone yur whole life," he said softly.

Luke nodded. "That's the one."

Hank held her close. "I was engaged. My...my fiancee went to town on Fly t' get her wedding dress....Fly come home without her....found her later on the side of the road..." Hank looked down and shook his head. "Only one able to steal my heart since her was Fly...til you came along."
