B.L. Davenport Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Luke recalls asking Bo if he'd wanted to go for a ride in the General,only to have Bo tell him he wasn't ready. Luke had then promised all Bo had to do was say the word if he changed his mind so readily agreeing he gets up off the step looking back at Uncle Jesse"Sure Bo, we'll be back directly Uncle Jesse"Jesse nods not sure this is a good idea but not saying so it's apparently important to Bo."Alright ya'll drive careful. And stay out of trouble!"Luke is quick to respond afraid Jesse will tell them no but doubts it."Yes sir" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted May 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Bo stood up carefully with Luke, taking the last step down off of the porch and leaning against the post while he waited for Luke. He nodded reassuringly and smiled as he held out his arm for Luke to take to support him as he walked, sensing Jesse might take it a little better if he knew that Bo was being rational and clam and not so determined to do everything on his own.

B.L. Davenport Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Luke takes Bo by the arm,going the 10 or so feet to the passenger side of the General Lee. Assissting Bo inside as little as possible to allow him to have his independence. Once Bo is situated in the passenger seat Luke goes around climbing under the steering wheel and pulling out of the yard. Once turning onto the dirt road Luke looks over to Bo with a questioning look as he asks the two most upper questions in his mind."Why the sudden change of mind about leaving the farm? Where to?"

BoJamesDuke Posted May 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 As he watched the landscape race by, he whooped happily as he felt the cool breeze whip through his hair again, heard the powerful engine growl. He looked over to Luke as he asked the questions and just shrugged."I dunno Luke...I just....I never felt safer anywhere exceptin' the farm than when I's in the General...if anyone can keep me safe when I's goin' through Hazzard its him..."

B.L. Davenport Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Luke grins as Bo whoops, nodding at Bo's feeling's of being just as safe in the General as at home he himself feels the same way. Turning the big stock car toward Mud Flatts."Well how about some racin' up at Mud Flatts? Rosco can't ticket us there it's private property."Continues to go that direction,it's been a long week and nothing has ever made Bo happier than racing around in the General Lee.

BoJamesDuke Posted May 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Bo grinned back at Luke, thinking about how many times Luke had been able to 'read his mind' so to speak. It was almost like they shared the same thoughts the same feelings at times."Yeah....we'll go up there and then go to Cooter's and pick up the new parts we was meant to get last week, if he's still held them for us that is."

B.L. Davenport Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 "He's still got'em I'm sure of it,ya know Cooter'd never let somebody else have the General's parts unless he had no other choice."Luke drives on to Mud Flatts keeping their speed down to 55mph just in case Rosco or Enos comes along. At Mud Flatts though he revs up the powerful motor,stepping hard on the General Lee's accelarator as they race across the land. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted May 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Bo grinned as Luke stepped hard on the accelerator, feeling the wind instantly whip through his long blonde hair, feeling the surge of adrenaline as the skidded and slid over the mud flats, tearing up the land. He had never felt so alive in weeks and his only wish was that he could be the one driving the General, having as much fun as he knew Luke was having.But he never let on that he was a tad disappointed that he wasn't driving, only whooped and laughed along with Luke as the small dips caused the General to fly up off the ground. He quickly pointed over to a freash mound of dirt and grinned."Let's get the General airbourne!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L. Davenport Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Luke nearly lost control of the car at Bo's request, looking over at his younger cousin concernedly not sure it'd be a good idea. It'd just been earlier in the day Bo didn't want anyone touching his back. "Ya sure that's a good idea cousin? I don't wanna do nothin that's gonna cause ya pain" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted May 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Bo shook his head and grinned wildly."I'll be fine! C'mon we ain't done this together in weeks.....please Luke...."He looked up at him with those big blue puppy dog eyes, begging for the surge of adrenaline and joy that sending the General Lee over a ramp brought."PLease...."

B.L. Davenport Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Luke nods those eyes get him everytime and truth be told he wanted to feel the rush just as much as Bo. So with a last warning "Don't say I didn't warn you"he hits the ramp at top speed flying through the air whooping. Grinning widely as the General makes contact again with a sound thud jostling them both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted May 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Bo yelled his trademark rebel yell as the General soared through the air, grinning and leaning his head slightly out the window before pulling it sharply back in as it orange stock car connected firmly with the ground. He burst out laughing, leaning forward to tenderly rub his back. It didn't hurt....just kinda twinged a little. The moonshine was great at numbing pain and it worked for a good couple of hours.He looked over at Luke, slowly getting his breath back."God...i've missed....that...."

B.L. Davenport Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Luke laughs then turns to look at Bo still grinning, it was great to be doing the things together they hadn't been able to do in a while. Watching Bo as he leans up to slightly rub his back but satisfied he hasn't suffered any great amount of pain just a minor ache."Me too cousin me too" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted May 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Bo smiled back and turned towards the front....and suddenly his smile faded."Luke...."He pointed to a small hut up ahead with a shaking hand."Go there...." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L. Davenport Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Luke looked over at Bo's outstretched hand following the shaking hand pointing to the hut that Bo was looking at. Not liking the sudden change in Bo,Luke hesitates before slowly making his way in that direction. Inhaling deeply then blowing it out slowly, Luke tries to calm his own nerves."What's wrong Bo?

BoJamesDuke Posted May 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Swallowing as Luke pulled up outside the hut, he carefully and slowly hoisted himself out the General, using the car to support him with one hand as he walked slowly towards it, not even flinching at how hot the front end was. He looked around and winced slighty as he saw a small pool of dried blood on the floor, his hand unconciously finding the back of his head where the bruise still remained slightly.

B.L. Davenport Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Luke slides out of the driver's side window and quickly walks across the hood jumping down behind Bo landing with a soft thud. Following on Bo's heels nearly bumping into him. As Bo reaches up to touch the back of his head, and Luke too sees the dried blood from over Bo's shoulder he it hits him that this is the place where Bo had been kept prisoner. Gulping slightly Luke places a hand on Bo's shoulder as much for his cousin's reassurance as his own a sudden chill running down his spine as he gazes at the small pool of dried blood,Bo's blood!

BoJamesDuke Posted May 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 He barly even noticed or registared his cousin's hand on his shoulder as his own slid away from the back of his neck. He stepped gingerly forward towards the small hut andslowly pushed the door open.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L. Davenport Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Luke follows as Bo pushes open the door part of him scared to death at what's inside this hut. But anger again at the men who'd nearly destroyed Bo was battling it out with the fear inside of him. Keeping a hand on Bo's shoulder and staying close to him, Luke wills the tremors he can feel shaking his knees not to make it to his hand. Gulping"Bo, you ok?"

BoJamesDuke Posted May 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Bo doesn't respond to Luke, swallowing himself and stepping inside the small hut, his hand instantly darting for the lightswitch on the wall.He blinked against the light as it illuminated the dingy hut and swallowed harder as the room came into view. It was nothing great, just one big room with a table and a couple of chairs in one corner, a bed in the opposite one and a small stove on the other.After a moment he crossed over to the stove and knelt down beside it, lightly brushing the blood stain on the wood where his head had leant before fingering the ropes that lay curled around the bottom legs of the stove.

B.L. Davenport Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Luke follows Bo to the stove kneeling down next to his cousin. Watching Bo as he fingers the ropes already knowing that Bo is recalling his captivity here. Not saying anything but already having decided that at the first signs on distress he was taking Bo home whether he wanted to go or not.

BoJamesDuke Posted May 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 He closed his eyes briefly, squeezing the ropes in his hand before releasing them and hesitantly opening the door to the stove....reaching in and pulling out a syringe...

B.L. Davenport Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Luke releases a shocked gasp as Bo pulls the syringe out of the stove,the guys who had held him hostage sure didn't worry about getting rid of evidence. Luke stares at the syringe in Bo's hand for a moment before reaching over to take it,intending to take it home with them so he can send it off to Atlanta to be analyzed to hopefully find out just what sort of drugs the goons had given Bo.

BoJamesDuke Posted May 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Bo let Luke just lean over and take it from his hand. He was numb inside at seeing this all again, at watching the whole scene that he could remember happening through a concussion and being drugged. He didn't actually know how long he had been held here for....everything had just passes in a haze of blackness and semi-conciousness.He looked over to the bed in the other corner....that was where he had been laid down and tied to when he first started feeling ill and could no longer sit up on his own....that was when they had started with the threats....

B.L. Davenport Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 Examining the syringe a second longer,Luke then wraps it in his handkerchief before placing it in his shirt pocket. Looking back at the blank look in Bo's eyes,suddenly feeling that this isn't where Bo needs to be right now. It's as if Bo isn't even in the same room anymore. Tapping Bo's arm"C'mon Bo we'd better get home before Uncle Jesse starts ta worry." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
