    That's a bummer Lori. Are you alright? I hope so...I bet that was scary.

    YAY...Mickey may be coming back to life. LOL. Where do you want me to send her description to you?

    Watching his troubled uncle, guilt swarms heavily through Bo's exhausted body as he struggles with the thoughts and emotions that seems to have a tight control over him. Guilt at the worry and fear that he had installed within his aging uncle by telling him the truth. The truth he had been threatened not to tell anyone. And now that he has, the heavy consequences to his actions looms heavily ahead of him. Bo gulps heavily as his imagination vividly grabs a tight hold over him, imagining vivid scenes of watching Luke get tortured to death. Of the blood that is lost and of the pain and fear that Luke would endure within the past few moments of his life. "No, no," Bo hears himself mumbling as fear once again washes over him at the thought of his consequences. A large bound of emptiness quickly seems to grow within him at the thought of a life without his cousin there. He has always had his older cousin to turn to for help with the large exception of when he had went off to boot camp and off to war. And now once again he no longer has him in his life to turn to; to talk to or to ask for help. But now he may never have Luke to turn to now that he has done the unspeakable and has told the truth about Paul. If only I could ask Luke for help, he'd know what to do. Bo takes a deep breath as the thoughts and questions roll through him, silently telling himself to shut-up. It is too late, nothing he can do now but to prepare for the worse. "How. . .how can you promise that?" Bo stutters, looking up at his uncle for the first time as he feels another tear melt down his cheek, "Especially now that I told someone." Bo pauses, continuing to fight the emotions within himself. "I. . .I just might have gotten Luke killed."

    Hey Lori - Thanks for another great post! Uncle Jesse seems to be soooo alive in your posts with the emotions you give him. You made me want to give him a hug!

    I am sorry that I haven't posted anything. I have finally got moved back into my apartment to find out that my new computer isn't accesable with my internet provider. Hmmm what to do now. I don't know, but I'll have to figure something out. Hopefully I will be able to add something soon. Sorry to leave you hangin' like this!

    My all time favorite movie is the first Smokey and the Bandit, so I'd have to say that my favorite Burt Reynolds' movie would be the first Smokey and the Bandit. I'll admit that I thought teh beginning of the second movie was funny, but other than that, I didn't like it at all. I thought I could have thought of a better plot than that...all that of my opinion of course.

    OK Lori...I also have to apologize to you. My last post was wayyyyyyyyy long. I even split the post into three different posts. I am sorry it is so long. What can I say? Bo was very alive for me tonight as we Jesse. :)

    ONce again, good luck with your computer. Hope to see you back soon.

  6. Garrett Duke

    (((HUGS))) Emy told me Lori about your computer problems. I am sooo sorry to hear that. You will be missed during your absense! I hope that you will get it fixed real soon! Cooter can fix cars...may be he can fix computers too?!!!

    "Paul and his friends are in Hazzard to get at Hogg and Coltrane," Bo hears himself explaining despite his common sense yelling at him to shut up, "Coltrane arrested Paul's dad over twenty years ago and Hogg had helped make sure he were to receive the death penalty." Jesse comes to a halt at a stop sign to eye his nephew in the dark once again, his story slowly sinking in. "Now he's back on revenge on his dad's behalf?" Bo shrugs. "Something like that I am guessing," Bo goes silent, looking down at his hand that begin to shake in fear and worry, "but they think that by gaining y'all's trust, that they can get closer to Hogg and Coltrane without them suspecting them of anything." "How's that?" Jesse asks as the fear increases within him, "Or what they gonna do to Hogg and Coltrane?" Once again, Bo shrugs. "I. . .I don't know," he pauses longly, "I had walked into the barn to find him talking on his cell phone the second day he was at the farm. He was arguing loudly over something and had mentioned through it that the plan was to get close to the Dukes to get closer to Hogg and Coltrane to be able to execute their plan." Bo goes silent as he turns away from Jesse to stare out the window, "Then he turned around to see me standing there. He pocketed the phone, shoved me in the corner and placed a gun to my head. Said if I said one word to anyone or anything that I'd be the key witness to Luke being tortured to death...to Luke's slow and painful death." It goes silent in the truck for a couple of long moments as the both men are lost in their dreadful thoughts of what is locked up at the farm with Luke. "I found out about Paul's dad by going to the library and looking through old articles," Bo slowly continues, answering Jesse's unasked question, "there was an article about his dad, Paul Thomas Sr. killing a Heath Sleddger over a lost bet that led into a fight at The Boar's Nest. Paul Jr was seven years old at the time and had adored his father...as the article put it. Paul Sr. was arrested by Rosco himself and sentenced by Hogg here in Hazzard who never liked Paul Sr due to a dispute they both had years before that. Hogg asked for the death penalty over Sr and Sr got the death penalty." Jesse nods in the dark, his memory bringing back what Bo has just recounted. "I remember that now that you spoke it. Most Hazzardites begged for Hogg's forgiveness of Thomas and to give him a little mercy and Hogg refused. Said he wasn't about to have murderer alive and well just because he went a little soft," Jesse slowly responds, "and on Thomas went to the pen to sit behind bars for years in wait for his own death." He turns to eye Bo accusingly as it all slowly sinks in, "You knew Hogg and Coltrane was in danger due to Paul and his friends and yet you didn't do nothing? They could be dead right now!" "I tried warning y'all he was trouble, that someone was going to get hurt if he were to stay. Y'all told me to keep my thoughts to myself if I didn't have nothing to prove it by...that I shouldn't be jealous of Paul, but to be happy for Luke. I tried warning y'all," Bo angrily throws back at him, tears streaking his cheeks once again, "I couldn't say anything. . .he'll kill Luke." (Cue Lori)

    "You deaf? Why didn't you answer me when I call you?" Jesse's voice is stern but a smile flashes across his face as he tightly hugs onto his nephew, glad to finally see him. "You look alright." Bo nods. "Zecheriah said you helped fix his fence for him. That was nice of you." Bo shrugs. "I had to do something," he slowly responds. "How about we go for a ride?" Jesse slowly states, motioning to his truck, "I think we need to talk. The General will be fine parked in the bushes as you have it." Bo goes to protest before thinking better of it. Nodding, he silently follows Jesse to his truck and climbs into the passenger seat. Driving away, Jesse once again breaks the silence, "First off, I need to apologize to you for not listening when you had attempted to warn us. I guess it is just easier to believe and listen to the positive rather than the negative," Jesse goes silent as he steals a glance over at his nephew, "secondly, after listening to Cooter's and Luke's argument this afternoon, I slowly came to the conclusion that you must know something or something had made you to feel that strongly against Paul. You have never accused anyone of anything unless you had a damn good reason to do so. "Which to think you are right, about Paul, only sends fear thickly through me of what the bleak future ahead holds for all of us," Jesse goes silent again, watching his nephew out of the corner of the eye while old memories flood deeply within. Memories of him driving a younger Bo around, of the few and small chances he had been able to spend with Bo alone without Luke or Daisy around. "What's going on, Bo? What all do you know about Paul, that we don't?" Bo eyes his uncle somberly as his emotions turn into raw fear at what his uncle is asking him of to send his thoughts back two weeks. "I can't say anything," Bo finally states to receive an angry look from Jesse, "I'm sorry. Paul said that if I. . ." "If you, what?" Jesse quickly questions as Bo slowly trails off, catching onto what he was saying, "He threatened you?" Bo shakes his head. "Luke," he says, his voice softens into a whisper as tears melt down his cheeks once again at the thought of the threat. "That's great. He's alone with Luke," Jesse slowly states. "If I don't say nothing, he should be fine," Bo softly responds, "which I won't." "Yeah you will. To me," Jesse says, his words are spoken firmly and sternly, "between you and me." Bo eyes Jesse with fear, this thoughts wrestling roughly within him of whether or not to do as he is told to do by Jesse. If he says something and Paul finds out. . .

    Exhaustion melts over Bo's body as he settles within the backseat of The General while watching the evenning sky slowly and gently fading from light into darkness. As he settles down, more questions explodes within him as his mind returns to the fight that he had with Luke last night. All afternoon he had kept himself busy by lending a helping hand to Zecheriah and his faulty fence along with several other chores that had been in need of taking care of. When asked, he had told a white lie stating Jesse had told him to run over to help him out since he was busy back at the Duke farm. But now as he lies back in the backseat of The General, his mind once again, returns to Luke and the situation he has now found himself in. "Lost sheep two, you out there?" The CB crackles as his uncle's voice calls out at him through the CB radio to send more emotions racing down his back. At the sound of his uncle's voice intense guilt rushes through him at the thought of how much he has disappointed him, let him down, and of placing him in the middle of all of the fights between Luke and him. "This is Shepard looking for his Lost Sheep number 2. You out there?" Bo slowly sits up in the middle of the seat, staring at the CB radio in awe and in question. After all that he has done and created, why would Jesse be calling out to him for? To lend more criticism and advice? More punishment? After all, Jesse had admitted to Bo being at fault and had often times defended Paul when Bo had attempted to warn them of the danger they are in. Criticizing Bo for accusing Paul falsely without anything to back it up, that he should be happy for Luke, instead of jealous. "Lost Sheep 2, this is Shepard!" his voice grows urgent over the radio to force Bo to jump and instantly grab the mic as he would have done only days ago. Now he is filled with hesitancy and doubt. "C'mon Bo, it's Jesse." Jesse's voice seems to drown into a plea, "I need to talk to you. See you. See if you are OK. I want to help you." Bo eyes the mic once again as his uncle's words flow through him continuiously to send his emotions rocketing within him. Pressing the buttons on the side of the mic, Bo leans in to say something only to be choked up by the emotions ripping apart within him. Giving up, he lets go of the buttons and looks up through the windshield to be surprised to find the sky to have gone purely dark. "Damn it," he cusses aloud while outside the sound of a vehicle becomes audible. Tears begin to roll down his cheeks at the thought of never seeing his family again, of spending the rest of his life alone and hiding from the only family he knows. And why? To avoid endangering them more from Luke's new friend. Tires squealling to a halt behind him abruptly catches his attention and shock rushes through him at the sight of his uncle's dirty truck parked directly behind him. Excitement, surprise, and dread all rapidly race through him as he watches his uncle slowly step out of the truck to begin walking towards the parked General Lee. Throwing the mic down, Bo slowly climbs back over the front seat and through the driver's open window. "Uncle Jesse," Bo hears himself saying as he wipes away the tears that falls down his cheeks.

    Ahhhh yuck! Good luck with that!

  11. Garrett Duke

    That is OK. As I said, I have to leave to meet up with a friend and I don't know when I will return. Tomorrow looks busy as well. So it may be Monday or Tuesday when I can next really add onto it unless I get home early enough tonight. I don't know.

    So I will understand if you want to add onto it. You can use what I want to do or go a different direction as well. Either way, I will understand.

  12. Garrett Duke

    OK...I finally added onto our story. It is a lengthy post, but I was wanting to add onto it. I have to go to meet up with a friend in a few minutes so I can't write any more.

    So if you are inspired to write...have fun! :) I was wanting to write Jesse finding Bo (I don't want to give it away. Sorry) So if you could leave that to me, I'd appreciate it. If not...I guesss I'll forgive ya! :D

  13. Garrett Duke

    Yeee Haaa! I have all seven seasons plus the reunions on DVD and I can't remember the last time I sat down and watched and ep. I know I haven't seen any of the reunuib dvd. How sad. I hope you are enjoying them.

    The elder Duke sadly watches Luke and his new friend angrily turn from Daisy to storm out of the kitchen and towards Luke's room. Luke's room that he once shared with Bo before that violent fight that had gotten his youngest child kicked out of the farm and off of Duke property. Luke's room that he now shares with Paul. Chills angrily cross Jesse's exhausted body at the thought of Paul sleeping on Bo's bed, wearing Bo's clothes, and using anything else that Bo had been forced to leave behind. Of all Jesse could see from Paul there isn't anything to be disliked about the guy. He was honest and hard working, he was smart and funny, sympathetic and caring. All at the same time. Yet there was obviously something about the guy that had gotten Bo so upset to have said the things he had said about him. Bo clearly knew something about Paul that no one else knows about, something he feared as dangerous to us or the rest of Hazzard. Bo has never been the type to say something so strong and negative about anyone without a cause or reason. He has never shown jealousy towards another person for missing out on something he wants to be a part of. Yet, when Luke had signed up for the Marines and had went off to war, Bo had been upset and angry at the whole world for taking his cousin away from him. Or as a child when Luke went with friends or did things he wasn't allowed to go with him to, he was upset for missing out and being left behind. So could Luke be right about Bo? Would Bo accuse Paul of such dreadful things in attempt to yank Paul away from Luke? Bo and Luke had been pretty much inseperatable ever since Bo came to live with us as a young baby. Luke had been over protective and had made sure to be there for Bo. Perhaps now that he has cut that bond between them for Paul. . . "Bo wouldn't have accused Paul or have acted so negatively about Paul. . ." Jesse speaks aloud and as Daisy looks confusedly up at him, he realizes he has finished his thoughts aloud. Smiling slightly he finishes his thought aloud, "Bo had gotten upset in the past when something or someone had taken Luke away from him or if Luke decided to go on without him. But Bo never accused that person or whatever it was that tore Luke away from him of anything as dreadful or negative as he has of Paul." Jesse goes silent as dread heavily floods over him, dread in realization that his youngest nephew had to have known something bad about Paul. Something so dangerous and fearful about Paul that he was willing to shatter the strong friendship he had with Luke in order to protect his whole family. For a long moment, Jesse stands paralyzed by fear that his strong realization has installed within him and the numbing imagination of all that it could be about. "I've got to," he hears himself saying as he grabs his keys on his way to the door, "I've got to go find Bo." Daisy sadly eyes him as he stops at the screen door, fear spreading across her pretty face as Jesse's realization seems to be contagious and she has finally caught on. "I'll go with you," she slowly states. "No, I think I better go by myself," Jesse slowly says as he eyes through the empty door way to the living room, fearing for the future or of leaving Daisy behind with Paul. Or leaving Luke alone with Paul, the friend he deeply trusts. "I want you to run into town and alert Cooter." Jesse goes silent, keeping an eye upon the empty living room. "Perhaps go to work early. . ." She nods as a tear runs down her cheek. "OK," she goes silent and whispers, "What about Luke?" Jesse shrugs. "I don't know. Bo warned him and it didn't do anything but seperate the two boys. Luke's tough," Jesse whispers. "But I have to run over to help a friend with his fence and to help out. They're going through a hard time right now. Say hi to Cooter for me, Daisy. Good luck at work." Jesse says it loudly so Luke, if listening, would know they were leaving and wouldn't get suspicious. "Will do," Daisy sniffles on a smile as they walk out the door together.

  16. Garrett Duke

  17. Garrett Duke
    :D That sounds fun! Good luck - I hope that you catch the big one! :) It has been a long time since I last went fishing. I am not very good at it, in fact I can't remember the last time I really caught anything. ;) Oh well I guess...at least the fish are safe with me. ;) LOL
  18. Garrett Duke
    Thank-you Laura, for your explanation...I have always wondered how and why you got a green square instead of the gray one that I remain stuck with. That makes sense to me.
  19. Garrett Duke

    Not much here, how about you? I hope that you had a good week. ;)

  20. Garrett Duke

    Awww I'm sorry you don't have good days at school, it makes it even longer! I know how you feel!

  21. Garrett Duke

  24. Garrett Duke

    Thanks for your feedback on Lori and my story! It means a lot to hear what people say.

    Also thanks for your comment on my avator wayyy back. Either I or one of my parents took that pictures at one of the Dukefests we went to. Found it on the computer and thought it would go well. (Sorry so long - I didn't see your post until I went through my post and then saw it)

  25. Garrett Duke
