James Duke

"Yes." Luke said matter-of-factly. "I do love her."

Luke gave him an odd look. "Your kin, your supposed to love her."

"You'll grow to love them." Jesse said, patting him on the back. "C'mon, lets get started." He said, heading off in one direction, letting the boys pick another.

Jesse smiled at the two and nodded. "Thank ya. Lori, go with Daisy, ok? The boys can search together too."

Jesse came out of his room shortly after. "Alright kids, we'll eat a quick breakfast, then go out searching." He said, getting out a box of cereal. After fixing everyone a bowl, they all ate quickly. In just a couple of minutes, they were ready to look. Grabbing his hat, Jesse led the kids outside. "We'll look in the woods first. Check everywhere he could possibly hide."

Whenthe kids were in bed, Jesse went outside to sit on the porch. He sighed sadly and looked out across the yard, hoping to spot Bo come running. When no one came, he shook his head a little. He then looked up towards the Heavens and prayed that they would find Bo alive and safe.

"That's fine Daisy, I understand." Jesse said with a nod. "You can go onto bed if you want."

"That's fine Luke, you can help. And by lunch time tomorrow, if we haven't found him, we'll get Rosco and everyone else out looking too." Jesse said.

"Your cousin's right, Luke. And like I said, we'll find Bo. Its too dark to look now, but first thing in the morning, I'll go out looking for him." Jesse promised.

Jesse sighed and shook his head. He couldn't really blame Luke, since Luke was just a kid and Jesse knew all to well thgat kids can easily get side tracked and distracted. "Its alright Luke...we'll find him." Jesse said hugging his oldest charge.

"Luke, you were supposed to watch him." Jesse said, frowning.

Luke watched the two leave, then looked at Jesse. "Uncle Jesse...?" Luke asked softly. "Luke, what's the matter?" Jesse asked. "Bo...Bo's missing..." Luke answered. "Missing?" Jesse asked, frowning. Luke nodded and wiped his eyes, sniffing.

Luke nodded a little, the worry clear in his blue eyes. "I sure hope your right Cooter..." Together with everyone else, Luke headed inside. Not seeing Bo and knowing it was to quiet for him to be there, Luke's worry increased.

Eventually, supper time rolled around. Luke and Cooter hadn't had any luck and by then, Luke was worried sick. He only hoped Bo had gone back to the farm.

"Bo! Where are you??" Luke called out, listening for any answers. He frowned a little, not hearing any. Hoping Bo was still nearby, Luke kept calling.

"He couldn't have gotten far." Luke said, crossing his arms. "I say we split up and look around in the woods. We'll meet back here at dinner time."

"I sure hope he didn't." Luke said, accepting the help up.

Luke looked over at the two. "Bo should be there. That's where he hid."

Startled, Luke yelped and took off running, not having time to reload yet.

Luke and Bo yelped, then took off running for cover. Luke ran and hid behind the old oak tree, while Bo hid behind a bush at the edge of the woods. Reloading the slingshot, Luke fired at the girls. Bo stayed focused on the fight, that is until he saw a bunny rabbit. Smiling, he followed after it.

Once they were all outside, Bo didn't even bother to wait for anyone else to get ready. Loading up his slingshot with a pebble, he aimed, then fired at the nearest target. Luke. The pebble hit the oldest Duke cousin right between the eyes, dazing him. When he recovered, he gave Bo a dirty look. "Not yet Bo! We don't have any weapons!" Luke scolded. Bo crossed his arms, pouting. "Party pooper." Luke just rolled his eyes, then took out his own slingshot before grabbing ahandful of pebbles for ammo.

"Emy, get over here." James said, keeping the gun pointed at the goons.

"Yeah I know the area. I grew up here." James said, picking up the gun. He pointed it at Frank.

"You touch her and you'll regret it." James growled. (brb, but continue)

At the cabin: "Well to bad. You got me to deal with." James said, crossing his arms. In town: Bo and Luke ran outside and climbed in the General. Starting it up, Bo sped off.
