"You wanna tell me what you and that Duke boy were talking about so adamently?"

Luke sat up and shook Bo a little. "Hey sleepyhead...wake up ...I wanna talk to you."

Her mother knocked on her door. "Jaime?!"

Luke blinked awake as sunlight shone in his eyes. "Bo? You awake?" Daisy looked up and smiled at her. "Mornin."

Luke frowned. "What's going on?"

Daisy looked toher and shook her head. "Now you stop right there honey...I know them cousins of mine... they can get mad...an' they's stubborn as they come...but I ain't never seen either one of em so mad or hurt that they turn their backs on friends...specially you."

"What do you mean?"

Quietly Luke followed him down and out to the General, taking a few blankets with him. Daisy sighed and just kept stroking Lori's hair sadly.

"What?! You talked to him?!" he looked at her eagerly.

A short while later Daisy made her way up the treehouse sitting beside Lori and petting her head as she slept. Luke leaned over Bo. "Hey cous...come on Daisy's here...let's go..."

Luke swallowed his mind racing trying to think how he could save Bo. "Maybe if I let them find me..."

Well, like I said, I don't talk to him about John usually... Last thing we talked about was our favorite pizzas and the new guitar hero game. I think the last time he mentioned John was when he was talking about his spring break.

Luke grumbled to himself and climbed down. "So what you think runnin' away is gonna help any?! I thought you didn't give up? Now look Bo is hurt...I won't lie to you...and I am pretty riled...I ain't gonna lie about that ither...but leavin ain't gonna help matters any.... now you get up there...I'll call Daisy...an things'll ook better in the mornng." With that he went to the CB to call Daisy.

"Me..." he repeated not quite understanding.

Luke sat up quickly. "Is he alright?"

"No," answered Luke. "It'd be a lot safer for you in the treehouse...Bo an I can sleep in the General..." he added thinking that maybe being away from each other might not be a bad idea.

You should...his whole family is sweet as can be.

Luke bit his lip...he wasn't sure Bo was ready t forgive or not. He wasn't sure if he was either, but he figured that he had better if he wanted her to stay safe. "Look just quit tryin' to do things on your own Lori...ya got friends ' help ya...let us help ya...."

Luke looked up and breathed a sigh of relief as he heard her come down the stairs. "

Luke sighed. He was tired of fighting with her..that much was for certain. And right now he couldn't say that he liked her much, not after the hateful way she had treated Bo who was just trying to help. He looked at his cousin, and instinctively knew how hurt he felt by her words. Kneeling down beside him, he softly said, "She's mad at me Bo....not you."

Luke rested his head against the pillow, thankful that Jaime's mom had moved to the other room. He didn't want her to see the fear in his eyes...or the anxiety that might betray Jaime was gone.

Luke stood in front of her. "You do gotta choice...there's always a choice. You're choice is you can let us help ya...or don't let us help ya an we help ya anyway....but you don't gotta yell at people who are trying to help..." said Luke. It was one thing for him to yell at Bo, but he didn't take kindly when others did it.

Yea...he did...and he is also in the movie...he is the one gambling with Dani...he has straight dark hair...braces...he says "too rich for my blood" I think... Leah was in the movie too...

Harve smirked. "We'll see how a Marine does against an Army sniper then, won't we?

Luke grinned back at him. "I was just thinkin' the same thing myself...."
