Daisy walked up to Enos. "Enos Strate ain't you gonna even say hello to me?" Luke bit his lip. "Let me take a look Bo..." he insisted taking his hand gently.

"Jaime?!" he called hearing the whimper. "Jaime are you..." he swallowed as he found her huddled in a corner, in front of a wall with chains attached. He swallowed and took the girl in his arms, asking no questions, just getting her as far away from the darkness as he could.

Luke heard a small noise coming from what sounded like beneath the stairs. "Jaime?!"Running his hand along the wall he discovered what looked like a hidden door under the staircase. opening it, he called out "Jaime?!"

Daisy nodded. "Consider it done," she said as she leaves to go to Enos. "You alright Bo?" asked Luke putting a hand on Bo's shoulder. "You look a bit shook up."

Luke sighed nodding. "I know what you mean... I like her...but...I...I don't know that I love her...not the way she wants me to...I don't wanna hurt her...but I feel liek I'm gonna...no matter what...I know she wants committment...and I just ain't ready for that yet...from anyone...not after Candy."

Luke was having one of his famous gut feelings. it wasnt about Bo this time though. Something was wrong. Carefully he pushed himself up and slowly moved therough the house. "Hello? Jaime?"

Luke had been sleeping restlessly when he woke up to utter quiet. "Hello? Jaime? Where is everyone?"

"Oh...I'm sure I can think of somethin," answered Daisy with a laugh.

"I've had enough of this." Her mother grabbed her by the arm and dragged her down stairs , glad that their guest was sleeping again. "Now you get in there and I don't wanna hear a peep out of you. I'm running into town and seeing if anyone is asking questions about Luke Duke.... meanwhile you stay in here..where you're safe." With that she locked Jaime in the dark room and left.

Luke bit his lip. "It's alright if ya do Bo...it is..."

Her mother shook her head. "I don't like it."

"No?" he looked to Bo in surprise.

Luke looked at him. "This thing with Lori...I know you like her Bo...you always have."

"No...I think you left it...I'll meet ya back at the farm..." called Daisy as Lori took off for the lake. "Bo we need to settle this thing...just between us...come on wake up"

"Give em time honey...they don't stay mad long...." promised Daisy.

"well," began Daisy, "ain't like he ever needs a reason...still...I'm up for going undercover..." she laughed a little.

She frowned. "And if you get caught...what then?!"

Luke got into the drivers seat pushing Bo over and taking off, thinking that they both could stand to get away for an hour, driving to the lake Daisy and Lori just left from.

"Go on with ya...you know what to do."

Luke pulled the covers off. "Comeon Bo...we need to talk."

"You leave me no choice Jaime."

Daisy laughed as they walked together. Luke meanwhile was still trying to get Bo to wake up. "Hey sleeping beauty rise n shine"

She shook her head. "You don't seem to understand what could happen if we let your secret out Jaime...people could use you...exploit you...hurt you"

"I'll go with ya, " volunteered Daisy. "And don't you worry bout Bo an' Luke...there ain't no trouble they can get into they can't get out of.." she assured climbing down the steps. Luke smiles a little. This was the typical morning routine and though Luke grumbled about it, privately he loved the challenge of trying to wake Bo in a new way every morning. Slipping out of the General, he went and picked a wild flower growing in the weeds and started tickling Bos nose with it.

"Oh is that so?" asked her mother not believing her for a second.
