James Duke

Tired, Bo closed his eyes, soon falling asleep.

Bo smiled back a little, glad he wasn't mad.

"M'sorry...for taking...off..." Bo said softly, looking down.

Bo looked at him, trying to remember what happened that had made him disappear like he had. "What...happened?"

Bo studied each person in the picture, recognizing everyone more. He still didn't remember what happened to his real parents though and still believed Nick and Karen were his real parents.

Seeing the picture, Bo took it and looked at it, studying it. After what seemed like an eternity, Bo seemed to get a glint of recognition in his eyes as he looked from the picture to Luke and back again to the picture.

Bo closed his eyes in thought, trying to remember. After a couple of minutes, he shook his head, opening his eyes again.

Bo shook his head. He still didn't remember his real parents, or at least what he knew about them. He still believed the couple that raised him were his parents, which in a way, they were. "Live in Ten...nesee....Karen and Nick..." Bo replied, opening his eyes a bit to look at Luke.

"My parents...are gonna be...worried...." Bo mumbled after a few minutes of silence.

"Don't plan on...on going any..where...." Bo panted, keeping his eyes shut.

Bo had sat up and was sitting against the wall, his eyes closed and his head against the wall. He was panting still, it hurting worse to breathe now, then it had before.

Bo shook his head, not knowing.

"Only way out...is through the door...windows are...barred up..." Bo panted.

"I'll live...just a couple of...of busted ribs..." Bo replied softly.

"Luke..." Bo repeated softly to himself. He tried to place the name, knowing he'd heard it before. Then, as if someone flicked on a dusty old lightbulb, Bo remembered who Luke was.

Hearing his name, Bo opened his eyes a bit and looked at Luke. Sitting up some, he turned over onto his back to get weight off his sides. It still hurt to breathe, but he managed to ask, "Wh...who're y..you?" He panted. He sort of recognized Luke, but couldn't place a name or where he'd seen him at.

Luke had ended up landing on Bo, who had ended up breaking his ribs completely from the fall and Luke landing on him. He was dazed and in a lot of pain, plus it hurt like heck to breathe. The tumbled also did some good though, it jogged more of his memory.

Shaking his head, Bo tried to make sense of the things he was remembering, but couldn't piece any of it together yet. Sighing some, he tried to get free again, this time getting lucky when he found a sharp piece of steel nearby. Whimpering in pain from his broken ribs, Bo managed to scoot close enough to the steel to start cutting the ropes. After a few tries, he managed to cut through the ropes, freeing himself. Once he was completely untied and the gag was off, Bo got to his feet, one arm going over his aching ribs. Looking around, he tried to find a way to escape. Seeing the windows there were barred up, he settled for trying the door. Climbing up the stairs, he turned the nob, finding it was locked. Sighing, he sat on the top step, figuring the crooks would be back to open the door later.

Sighing miserably, Bo put his head on the ground, closing his eyes. Not long after he did that, old memories that were long forgotten, started to flash through his mind. Confused, he opened his eyes and blinked, some memories still coming back.

Bo had had the wind knocked out of him when he hit the contrete floor. He felt a couple of ribs crack from the impact of hitting the floor, but thanks to him being gaged, he wasnt able to cry out. When he did catch his breath and the pain subsided, he looked around, seeing the basement was pretty much empty. And even though it had been nice and warm outside, the basement was cold.

Bo was scared senseless. He knew his parents would be worried if he didn't come home, so he started trying to get himself untied. Unfortunatly, the ropes were tied to tight and he only ended up making his wrists raw to the point they were bleeding some.

Bo put up quite a fight, and had he been up against just one man, he would've had a better advantage.

Realizing he'd just witnessed the end of a bank robbery, Bo took off running across the street to the sheriff's department to report what he'd seen.

Bo got to town and went about getting the feed. After that was done, he was about to leave, when he noticed the men come running out of the bank.

"Yes sir." Bo grinned, taking the keys. "I'll be back in a bit." He said, giving his 'dad' a quick hug, which had become a habit of his, giving hugs to his parents before he went somewhere. Going over to the car, Bo climbed in and started it up, then headed out, waving out the window before disappearing over the hill.
