B.L. Davenport Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 "Not happenin' plow boy"Jerry said as he slammed on the brakes and jumped from the pickup skirting around the vehicles and running for clear ground. Luke jumped from Dixie and tore after him with Cooter quick on his heels. The two of them overtaking the ex-reserve marine easily. B.L. jumped from her car running over to the now parked pickup slinging open the door . "Bo are you ok?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted November 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Bo watched with a small smile as Luke and Cooter quickly got a hold of Jerry and sighed as he leant back in the truck seat, the pain, shock and fear of everything that had happened finally catching up with him.He looked over to the door as it opened, eyes swimming with relieved tears as he saw the friendly faces of B.L. and one of his cousins, Daisy, and nodding his head, trying to get out the truck and to them but hissing and groaning in pain and shaking his head."I can't move.....please don't move me..."

B.L. Davenport Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 B.L. frowned worriedly Bo looked terrible with all the bruises and scrapes. "Just sit there don't hurt yaself more....can ya lean up a littl though and I'll cut the rope off yer hands."Luke and Cooter were still teaching Jerry a lesson as the girls tended to Bo.

BoJamesDuke Posted November 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Bo swallowed and nodded softly, turning slightly and leaning forward a little way to free his hands from behind him and expose them to B.L. and Daisy, knowing he had at least rubbed them raw from struggling with his bonds, if not actually cut into them.He squeezed his eyes shut as his beaten muscles screamed at the movement, protesting as sharply as they could but he didn't make a sound, not wanting to distract Luke from what he was doing, knowing Jerry would take that upper hand quickly.

B.L. Davenport Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 "Great day to mergatroy Bo yer wrist barely have any hide left on 'em"B.L. slipped her pocket knife out of her pocket quickly slicing through the ropes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted November 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Bo sighed with relief as his wrists were let loose, but he found that he just didn't have the energy or the will to move them. He didn't have the energy or the will to move at all as his body refused with pain to let him move.He leant more forward and rested his head on the dashboard, shaking with pain, relief and fatigue.

B.L. Davenport Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Luke tiring out slams his fist once more into Jerry's face sending him to la la land. Cooter helped pick the man up off the ground and drag him over to the wrecker tying him in the back. Luke walked over looking worriedly at Daisy and B.L. for an explanation as to why Bo was leaning his head against the dashboard. B.L. looked back at him and mouthed 'he hurts bad...needs a doctor soon."Luke nodded placing a hand on Bo's shoulder. "Hey Bo let's get ya into Dixie or the Judge so's we can getcha to the doctor ok." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted November 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Bo knew it was Luke touching his shoulder as soon as he felt it, but he couldn't help but jerk away from his touch, crying out as it caused a chain reaction in his other injuries before saying pantingly to Luke."I can't.,...I cna't move....Luke I can't move it hurts too bad..."

B.L. Davenport Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 "Ya got to Bo if not now then when we getcha to the Doc's but ya gonna hafta move sooner or later."Luke felt sorry for Bo but he didn't know any other way."C'mon Bo we'll help ya and it'll be over before ya know it."B.L. coaxed quietly.

BoJamesDuke Posted November 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Bo swallowed and steeled himself quietly before sitting back up again slowly, turning to slide out the truck but as soon as his feet touched the floor, his legs gave way beneath him and he found himself falling to the road with an anguished cry of pain.

B.L. Davenport Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 "Bo!"Luke and B.L. both yelled at the same time as Bo crumpled to the ground. Kneeling beside Bo Luke looked back up at the two girls staring on in horror. "You two've gotta help me move 'im I can't do it bymyself right now."B.L. nodded as did Cooter when he came over after making sure Jerry was tied securely then chained with an old log chain he had on the tow truck. "We should all 4 be able ta carry him without hurtin' him too bad"Cooter said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted November 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Bo cried softly as he rested his head on Luke's shoulder, feeling many hands grip him and gently lift him off the ground, arching in pain again and gasping slightly as the movement aggravated so many bruises.He tried not to show how much pain he was in, not wanting to make Luke feel bad and noticing Daisy had gone as pale as a sheet, but he just couldn't hold it back any longer.

B.L. Davenport Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Luke felt sick hearing Bo cry if he hadn't left Bo might not be so hurt. "Sorry Bo."He whispered in Bo's ear as they slowly made their way to B.L.'s car deciding Bo'd be more comfortable than in the Jeep, with Cooter taking both Bo's feet leaving B.L. and Luke each supporting his back and Daisy supporting his head."B.L. wanted to wipe the tears running down her side of Bo's face but knew she couldn't move either hand from supporting his back so settled for kissing his cheek gently."Almost there Bo hang on just a little longer ok."

BoJamesDuke Posted November 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Bo nodded but quickly decided that was a bad idea as pain flared in his neck too. With a gentle gasp and breathing out Luke's name in a moan, he closed his eyes and promptly let the pain overtake him and drag him into unconciousness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L. Davenport Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Luke sighed half with relief and half with worry as Bo lost consciousness."He's out let's get 'im in the car before he wakes up again."Reaching hte car Cooter took both Bo's feet in one hand opening the car door and leaning the front seat up and the four of them gently guided Bo's limp body into the car making sure he was as comfortable as possible in such a cramped space.B.L. leaned back the seat and prepared to climb behind the wheel. Cooter looked at them and said."I'm gonna go drop this varmit off with Rosco, I'll catch up with ya'll later gimme a holler if ya need me."Luke shook Cooter's hand giving him a friendly hug and slap on the back."Thanks for the help Coot."Cooter smiled returning the friendly pat on the back "No problem Lucas" turning he climbed behind the wheel of the tow truck alllowing B.L. to lead out the procession this time.

BoJamesDuke Posted November 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Daisy gently climbed into the back as she supported Bo's head all the time until it rested against the seat, planting a gentle kiss and whispered words of love before getting back out the car and crossing hurridly over to Dixie as the procession started to move out, Luke as she expected riding with Bo and B.L.All this while, Bo didn't have a concious clue what was happening as he remained out like a light.

B.L. Davenport Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 At the end of the path,back on the road Cooter turned for town while the other two vehicles turned in the direction of Tri County Hospital. B.L. glanced back at Bo in the rearview mirror then sideways over at Luke who was turned in the seat so that he could keep an eye on Bo. Not a word spoken between them as they made their journey to the hospital. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted November 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Daisy swallowed a little as she noticed the direction they were heading in. She thought that they were headed for Doc Appleby's, not realising really how seriously hurt Bo could be. she thought all there was were just a couple of painful bruises and scrapes...but obviously there had to be more to it than that.As B.L. drove quickly but steadily to the hospital, the bumps in the road started to become more defined and Bo instantly snapped awake with a small yell as the tyres hit a small rut in the road, causing the back to jump a little and jerk his still body.

B.L. Davenport Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 B.L. cringed when Bo yelled slowing the car down considerably. "Sorry Bo"Luke reached back taking Bo's hand as they drove."It's ok Bo we'll be there soon."Five minutes later B.L. pulled into the hospital parking lot and right upto the emergency doors stopping the car gets out and goes inside telling a nurse about Bo and that they needed a gurrney.

BoJamesDuke Posted November 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Daisy pulled up not too long after Luke and B.L. did, hurrying to Luke and checking on Bo.Upon hearing where he was however and what B.L. had asked the nurse for, Bo determindly shook his head and started to attempt to sit up, saying breathlessly and slowly."I....don't....need no....gurney...."

B.L. Davenport Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Luke raises an eyebrow at Bo shaking his head in wonder. It was amazing how Bo could be so injured but still protesting what was best for him. "Sure Bo, ya just go around passing out for the fun of it." Luke said sarcastically as B.L. came back to the car leaning against the side listening to Bo protest, while they waited for help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted November 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Bo clenched his jaw and gritted his teeth as he managed to get himself into sitting, pausing to glare slightly at Luke before swallowing and making a brave attempt to get out the car on his own.Daisy sighed and went to go and help Bo, but found herself stopped by Luke. She looked to him quizically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L. Davenport Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Smiling at Daisy Luke explained, while keeping an eye on Bo."Let 'im see for hisself that he ain't gonna make it then when he falls flat on his face we'll pick 'im up."B.L. watched just as anxiously as Daisy, it was taking all her own will power not to argue with Bo or to try and help him. Back in town Cooter was telling Enos all Luke had relayed to them and what had happened once they had found Bo. Enos booked and locked up the thug telling Cooter that he'd fill Rosco in when he came back from his lunch hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted November 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Bo gently moved out the car very slowly, attempting to push himself to his feet but finding all he could do was slide down the side of the car and lean against it as his legs shook and refused to let him have his way. Daisy sighed and looked away, she hated to see either of her cousins in pain at any time but watching this was too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L. Davenport Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 "You ready to concede defeat and let us help ya or ya just lean against the car until ya eventually slide all the way to the ground?"B.L. asked him with a worried glance Luke wasn't being much help he was still just standing there watching Bo struggle.
