*raises an eyebrow at Garrett, also looking surprised at his words* So youre just going to hop on your bike and abandon your brother?

*chuckles* no Brian that doesnt make you permanent jackass because you arent a jackass... *gaze also glances to Garrett* yeah...youre right...

*gaze goes from Daney to Bo* Chet is locked up? well looks like the reign of the temporary jackass just might be over.. *looks at Brian* in more than one way...

*cocks an eyebrow at Garrett and scoffs* maybe Doc needs to give you something to knock you out because the more you speak the feeling of wanting to shoot you is returning...And Brians right you need to check the dictionary, surrender and kidnap arent the same thing...

*gives a firm nod at Brian's words* Yeah before you start pointing fingers there Garrett, because believe me,I was tempted to just shoot you. The one who really got you on your back is nowhere to be seen, what a shock! *dark eyes harden* and frankly... Chet and I have unfinished business.

*laughter and teasing dies down, gives a nod at Garrett* Yeah I understand, tried not to dwell on that...you both were in rough shape...

*looks at Brian* so theres a cure for Duke? *teases then gives a chuckle* We can start a charity...put Chet and Garrett's picture on a tin can and have people ring a bell and collect money!

*just grins at Garrett and starts laughing again...*

*bursts out laughing at that comment* You know what they say... the more dollars you can spend the more charming you appear to be!

*cant help but chuckle at Brian's drug induced comment, bowing head a moment clearing throat then watches Doc with Garrett, having thought wound was sealed and stitched properly...*

*chuckles, shaking head at the doped smile of Brian* See? Youre getting some relief...*squeezes his shoulder again giving a sigh, thinking about the run in Brian had with the horse, thinking about how hard the collision was...and how much worse things could have turned out...*

*standing closeby watching as Doc starts to bind up Brian's broken ribs* steady now... itll be okay...*touches Brian's shoulder, patting it, then sees the medication being prepared in the needle, knowing how Brian feels about them, hoping he keeps his eyes closed* Youll get some relief soon...

*gives a sigh then smiles, gently patting the hand then goes to another table and gets a blanket, then gently covers Brian up* good night...we'll all be here...*looks at Bo and Luke* right?

I hope Garrett doesnt wake up like that, I think enough blood has been shed over this.. *gives a nod to Bo* thanks I appreciate that.. *giving a small smile to Bo then cant help but grin wider at Brian at the offered handshake* You dont owe me anything...*steps closer and takes Brian's hand giving it a firm shake* Weve bailed each other out of jams lots of times...Some literal and some well... medical... I mean I think weve both stitched each other up lots of times!

*gaze bounches between both Brian and Luke..* You didnt shoot Garrett in cold blood, Garrett saw Chet come riding up on that damn horse of his and it slammed right into you...Hes going to think that truth, its his own brother's fault he got shot...

*grins, glad to see Brian making jokes* Im handy with all sort of things...and considering your current state, it wouldnt surprise me if you did need that kind of help... *smiles fades looking at Brian with a more serious expression* You scared the hell out of me... *says low*

*grins as the cuffs come out and Brian gets cuffed to the table* I can tell youre feeling better! *teases MaryAnne gently, but then the smile fades a little* Yeah we do need to deal with him....

*nods at the gratitude from Kristy* Dont worry, hes going to be okay...no you dont need to do anything to thank me, Im just glad that I was able to do something...when it first happened I thought they both might be in serious trouble beyond any help... *glances at Garrett* *then hears Brian speak and sighs* No what he did wasnt an accident.. *looks around for Chet* and speaking of... where did he go?

*sighs, nodding* Youre right Brian it worked too well...*glances at MaryAnne* youre right too, it was a terrible accident...

Garrett is still out Brian, but it looks like hes going to be okay...*turns to look at the still out Duke..* The bullet passed through a pec, I did some stitch work and gave him some blood. I worked on Garrett, Chet worked on you...

*nods at MaryAnne's words, looking at Brian..* shes right, you need to just rest okay? *smiles as MaryAnne takes the bandana* I knew youd be able to reach him...

Hey hey! *still having on arm around MaryAnne, with the other reaches out to gently touch Brian's shoulder* easy man... you met a horse at full gallop and got tenderized...*helps him lay back down* Im just glad youre awake...*looks at MaryAnne..* you okay... *moves hand from Brian's shoulder and reaches into jacket pocket taking out a bandana* here...*offering bandana to her*

*eyes flying open at the sound of the voice and sees the open eyes and sighs audibly* Thank God... *gives a watery grin, hugging MaryAnne around the waist, head still against hers, taking another moment to wipe face and looks at Brian* Damn good to see you Brian... *sighs again, feeling chest loosen some...*

*turns as MaryAnne tugs away and goes after her, feeling own chest and throat tighten at her emotion outburst... own emotions are threatening...* Damn it.. *whispers, swallowing hard and touches her back gently, squeezing eyes shut, own fear thats kept hidden starting to bubble to the surface...* I want him to wake up too... *says softly, dark eyes growing bright, leaning over and gently touching blond head to the dark one of MaryAnne* Damn it... *swipes arm over eyes taking a shuddering breath*

*watching MaryAnne, also gives a heavy sigh looking down at Brian, seeing his battered face and the scraped forehead...* That horse hit him so hard...it all happened so fast... *says softly, then nods at MaryAnnes gesture* Yeah... lets let them rest, lets go out... *walks with MaryAnne outside, needing air...*
