"I want the truth," said Luke simply hating the way Bo was looking at him. He felt bad enough...and Bo beingmad at him wasn't helping.

Luke could tell by the edge in Bo's voice how angry Bo was. he couldn't blame him. Luke didn't care for himself too much at the moment. "Don't leave."

Luke watched him go shaking his head. He slid out of the General, not wanting to do this on his own. "Bo don't go...please."

He could hear the frustration in Bo's fingertips and swallowed. He hated the way he was feeling, and he wasn't sure how he was feeling. All he knew was that one way or the other he wwanted it to end.

Luke said nothing. He didn't know how to answer that question.

"I don't need any girl to make me happy," answered Luke though he privately wondered whether that was true or not.

Luke grew quiet. The last thing he wanted to do was upset Bo. It almost aggravated him that they were so close. Bo knew what he was thinking without him having to say a word. Sometimes it was helful, but sometimes, when you wanted to be alone with your thoughts, it was downright annoying.

Luke smiled a little though inwardly he thought that it wasn't a stupid question. Always before, even when a beautiful woman was involved Luke could be counted on to capture not only the color and make of the ar, but usually the license plate as well. He had been trained in the Marines to "notice everything about your surroundings" and he often practiced that lesson. With Candy, it was different. He stopped being logical with her. He noticed nothing, saw nothing, heard nothing. It was no wonder Candy had been able to huck and jive him so bad, he thought bitterly.

Luke shook his head. "I wasn't looking at the car..." he explained quietly.

Luke sighed hoping Bo was right.

Luke looked out the window. "What am I gonna say Bo? I dunno what to say..."

Luke lurched a little forwards with the landing but a smile was on his face. he loved riding in the General with Bo.

Luke nodded and hung on.

"Over the bridge'd be the quickest but it's washed out." he answered.

Luke thought a moment. "Hazzard Hotel...and she'd probably take the main road north...and head back to Tenesee."

Luke looked at him. "What do you need me to do?"

Luke slid into the General as well, but not with his usual bounce. His heart was heavy and it seemed to weigh him down.

Luke swallowed and followed closely after him not ahving any idea what he would even say to Candy when he got to her.

"Will...will you come with me?" asked Luke looking at Bo.

Luke sighed heavily, having a feeling he knew who the idiot was and not at all surprised when Bo told him who. "I was afraid of that..."

Luke looked at Bo. "What idioit said that?"

Luke looked at Bo fear in his eyes. "I don't..." he began, swallowing as he realized he still had Bo's shirt in his hand and handed it to him.

"No..." uttered Luke quietly.

Luke swallowed and looked down at the shirt still in his hands. He didn't know what to think, not wanting to take a chance of letting down the walls again, hurting far too much as it was.

Luke looked at Bo, unable to address Lori, not trusting anyone but Bo still. "How can she hate me one minute...and love me the next?"
