B.L. Davenport Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 B.L. lazily opened one eye to look at him he didn't look fine but she wouldn't pressure him. If he wanted to talk about it he would in his own time and if he didn't no amount of asking from her would drag it out of him. Settling back down closing her eye she decided to just keep a close ear on him and would press further if he still seemed a little bothered by something."kay" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted January 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Bo swallowed and had to open his eyes again. this was rediculous, the doctor had said he might have problems with memories and things but he hadn't believed him because in the hospital he hadn't had any problems at all....he just couldn't figure out why this was all springloading on him now.

B.L. Davenport Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Luke finished up in the barn and decided to check on Bo before mending the fence out behind the barn. Walking over to the house he noticed things looked awfully still in the room,moving a little closer with a muttered curse he knew why everything was so still and quiet the room was empty and he could see the other window open. Deciding to give Bo the benefit of the doubt though that he'd just raised the window to cool off the room and had gone out to the kitchen for something to eat or drink. Bounding up the steps into the house he calls out walking into the kitchen."Uncle Jesse, Daisy is Bo...." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted January 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Daisy looked up from chopping apples for a pie on the counter, stopping as she saw the look on Luke's face and swallowing gently."Is...Is Bo what?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L. Davenport Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Luke shook his head angrily growling. "never mind I have my answer, he ain't here."Jesse came in just in time to hear the last of Luke's statement with a furrowed brow he asked."Who ain't here?"Luke just looked at his Uncle for a moment before again growling his answer."Bo...he's disappeared. The window that faces the east 40 is open so that must be his escape route." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted January 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Daisy had to turn away as she heard them talking, biting back peels of laughter. If only Luke could hear himself....sometimes she really could see why Bo called his own home prison sometimes, espeically when he was ill.

B.L. Davenport Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Jesse frowned as he listened to Luke wondering just where his youngest had gotten off to. He wasn't happy about it anymore than Luke was but he also understood Bo's need to have a break from the hovering that the family tended to do. He'd talk to Bo about letting someone know when he needed to get away instead of just sneaking off when he came back from whereever he was. "Now Luke he's a big boy and can take care of himself, he'll be back from whereever he went."Luke shook his head opening his mouth to argue with Uncle Jesse that Bo shouldn't be out there alone but quickly closed it knowing better than to argue. Deep down he knew he was hovering and that Bo just needed some time to himself but he still couldn't help worrying about him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted January 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Daisy sighed gently, chuckling a little"Uncle Jesse's right Luke....honestly he doesn't like being molly-coddled anymore than you do when your ill. You often moan and complain that your perfectly fine and that no one should bother looking after you so strictly....give Bo a break."

B.L. Davenport Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Luke sighed giving Daisy a glare she was right and he knew it and that bothered him all the more."Alright alright I'll cool it. But in my defense when I'm ill it ain't because some guy's beat the tar outta me. And I don't have the breathing problems Bo's always had with his asthma. What if he ain't got his inhaler with him?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted January 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Daisy shook her head, crossing to Luke and wrapping her arms around him, knowing the glare was only given because he was worried and she was the one calming him down instead of him being able to go and do what he wanted, which was to find Bo and drag him back home."Luke...Bo is a grown man, not a 5 year old anymore. I'm sure he had the sense to take his inhaler..."She glanced to the open bedroom door where Bo and Luke always hung their coats."Look he even took his coat. C'mon cut yer younger cousin some slack...and actually there have been quite a few times you've been laid up because someone beat ya bad so dont you start that."

B.L. Davenport Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Luke wrapped his arms around Daisy propping his head on top of hers with a deep sigh. He did feel a little more at ease knowing Bo had taken his coat with him whereever he'd gone. "Point taken he's not done anything I haven't done."He admitted begrudgingly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted January 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Daisy nodded, resting her head on his chest as he proped his chin on the top of her head, sighing gently."I know ya worry about him, we all do. But there's worryin' an' there's bein' paranoid...i'm sure he's just fine. Uncle Jesse's big toe would be hurting if there was trouble which there ain't."She reminded him jokingly.

B.L. Davenport Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Luke chuckled at the joke although there was some truth to it. Jesse's big toe had detected trouble more than once or twice. Sighing silently he resolved to stop worrying so much, if Jesse wasn't worried then he shouldn't be either.

BoJamesDuke Posted January 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Daisy smiled and eventually gently pulled away, rubbing Luke's back gently before turning back to making the pie she had been before Luke's outburst. She loved both her cousins dearly and while inside she felt slighlty panicked that Bo had run off without telling anyone....really she knew that if it was anyone's fault it was B.L's.She had seen the look on B.L's face when Bo had resigned himself to his room and had been supported all the way there by Uncle Jesse and Luke, she wanted to rescue him and allow him the fun the family restricted because of worry.Bo was in good hands with B.L. She was sensible and would call or bring Bo back if there were any problems....she just didn't want to tell Luke because in his frame of mind he was more than likely to take it out on the girl.

B.L. Davenport Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Satisfied that Luke had calmed down Jesse went into the livingroom and sat in his favorite chair to read the paper. He had a feeling Bo wasn't completely alone and while he'd preferred Bo had told one of them he knew that he was ok. Luke turned and went back out to finish the chores when Jesse had went to read the paper and Daisy had turned back to he pie making. He just hoped Bo would be back before dark and the air became damp and chilly. Walking across the yard the CB in the general lee crackled to life with a familiar jovial voice."Breaker one Breaker one I might be crazy but I ain't dumb Crazy Cooter comin' atcha any o' you Duke's home on the Hazzardnet c'mon?"Rushing over to the open window of the car Luke reached in and grabbed the CB mic pressing the transmit button."Luke here Crazy C what's up?""Have ya seen B.L.? I went by the Boar's Nest for a beer and she weren't there. I asked and Jerry said she'd called in sick but that ain't so ya saw her she was fine when we left ya'lls place."Luke shook his head wondering why he hadn't thought of it before when he found Bo missing. Bo wasn't alone he bet, especially now knowing B.L. had called in sick she had to be with Bo but where they had snuck off to he didn't know. Pressing the transmit button he replied to Cooter's question about her whereabouts."No we ain't seen hide nor hair of her since ya'll left here Bo's missin' and I'm bettin' she's with him."Cooter shook his head with a slight chuckle those two were always getting upto some sort of mischief and seeing how they could worry their families. "I bet your right Luke, If I see 'em I'll make sure she brings Bo straight home. Catch ya on the flip side Buddyroe I'm gone.""Catch ya later Coot"With that Luke replaced the CB mic and resumed his trek to the the barn.

BoJamesDuke Posted January 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Bo swallowed gently as he leant against the barn whole, having taken on a slight tremble and not from cold. For some reason, an inexplicable fear had risen in him and while it wasn't showing completly, he knew that right now the slightest thing was going to set it off, something he couldn't afford to let happen.He kept trying to clam himself down, but there wasn't a lot he could do without alerting B.L. that there was something wrong. As soon as she knew that she would take him straight hom and he wasn't ready to go face a tongue lashing from his family yet.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L. Davenport Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 B.L. still had not opened her eyes just letting the peace of the place surround them. Feeling a slight tremble go through Bo sitting shoulder to shoulder as they were she cracked an eye looking over at him. He didn't look like anything was wrong to the average observer but to her and his family a small change from his normal appearance was detectible. "Bo? You ready ta go home?...the longer we stay gone the longer the lecture's gonna be."Worried something was wrong with him but tries to make it sound like she was more concerned with the amount of trouble they were going to be in.

BoJamesDuke Posted January 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Bo looked to her, knowing she could see the change in him and sighing, nodding slowly as he got shakily to his feet, jerking sharply as he heard more noises and closing his eyes.

B.L. Davenport Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Getting to her feet B.L. puts an arm around Bo's waist as he jerks sharply."My goodness Bo yer as jumpy as a long tailed cat in a room full of rockin' chairs. What's got ya spooked?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted January 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Bo swallowed and shook his head, looking around."I dont know what the heck it is B....I just...every little noise...this never got to me before! Why is it hittin' me so hard now?"Bo looked to her frightened, knowing that these kind of reprecutions sent people straight to the head doctors.

B.L. Davenport Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Remembers what the doctor had said about him possibly needing professional help to deal with the memories of what he'd been through and figures that was what was happening but she didn't want to believe it wasn't something his friends and family couldn't help him through without the help of doctors."The doctors said this might happen....it's just after affects of the trauma of being held captive. C'mon we'll go back ta the farm and you'll feel better."Leads him toward home to the safety of the farm and his family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted January 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Bo swallowed and nodded, glad she was keeping him close though he wouldn't admit it as she walked him home, jerking at noises around him sometimes, so very relieved when the farm came into sight.

B.L. Davenport Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Held him close making it look like they were joined at the hip. Gripping him a little tighter everytime he jumped from a noise. Smiling relieved to see the farm come into view."Almost there Bo"Continues onto the farmhouse trudging across the front yard and in the front door.

BoJamesDuke Posted January 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Daisy looked up as the pair stumbled through the doorway, smiling but it soon fading as she saw the state Bo was in. Swallowing she cried out for Luke as Bo slid to his knees beside B.L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L. Davenport Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Luke hearing Daisy's frantic call rushes into the house seeing Bo kneeling on the floor next to B.L. shaking while she kept an arm around him. "What's wrong?"B.L. looks up at Luke shaking her head and shrugging helplessly."I dunno Luke, every little sound is scarin' him ta death."Luke rushes over pulling Bo gently to his feet and guiding him to the couch where he sits down beside his youngest cousin with an arm around his shoulders. "s'alright Bo yer safe" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
