BoJamesDuke Posted July 25, 2007 Author Report Posted July 25, 2007 Bo sighed"That's her choice Luke...technically, if she says so...if she says you took her without her permission, you're guilty o'kidnappin'... Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted July 25, 2007 Report Posted July 25, 2007 Luke nodded. "Which is a federal offense..." Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted July 25, 2007 Author Report Posted July 25, 2007 BO nodded back"Which means..." Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted July 25, 2007 Report Posted July 25, 2007 Luke looked at him desperately. "What was I sposed to do Bo?! Let her stay chained in that dungeon?! Unloved, isolated from the world, hurt, scared and alone?! I know what that feels like Bo.... I wasn't about to let that happen to her." Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted July 25, 2007 Author Report Posted July 25, 2007 Bo ran a hand down his face"But still...you need to talk to Jamie...otherwise that feeling is not only going to be repeated for Jamie, but also for you when you go to the state pen for 20 years!" Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted July 26, 2007 Report Posted July 26, 2007 "I know...I know..." he said putting his headin his hand. "Right now...I ain't worried about that...all that matters right now is that lil girl in there." Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted July 26, 2007 Author Report Posted July 26, 2007 Bo nodded a little and looked to the doorway Luke was fixated on. He had never seen Luke so hung up about someone except a member of his family before... Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted July 26, 2007 Report Posted July 26, 2007 "Why's it taking so long?!" asked Luke to no one in particular pushing himself up and starting to pace the floor. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted July 26, 2007 Author Report Posted July 26, 2007 Bo bit his lip, watching him pace before answering his question."Luke...she got stabbed in the stomach...they's gonna have to be workin' on her long to make sure she's alright..." Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted July 26, 2007 Report Posted July 26, 2007 Luke leaned looking out the window. "I know that.don't you think I don't know that?!" he snapped at Bo. Then he turned and looked a him. "I didn't mean that Bo....I'm sorry...I'm just ...so worried." Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted July 26, 2007 Author Report Posted July 26, 2007 Bo nodded gently with a small smile"I know ya are..." Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted July 26, 2007 Report Posted July 26, 2007 Luke sighed. He hated being this on edge. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted July 26, 2007 Author Report Posted July 26, 2007 Eventually, the doctor came out the double doors Luke had been keeping his eyes on for the past few hours. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted July 26, 2007 Report Posted July 26, 2007 Luke near ran him down. "How is she?! Is she alright?!" Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted July 26, 2007 Author Report Posted July 26, 2007 The doctor raised his hands to calm Luke down so he could get a word in. Bo put his hand on Luke's shoulder and squeezed softly, as the doctor started to speak."Well she's up in the ICU for now...she lost a fair amount of blood and there was severe internal damage...luckily we managed to get her here in time before anything really problamatic occured. She's stable, but we're keeping her in the ICU for a while.." Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted July 26, 2007 Report Posted July 26, 2007 "Will...will she be alright?!" askd Luke shakily. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted July 26, 2007 Author Report Posted July 26, 2007 The doctor nodded."She should be, barring any complications..." Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted July 26, 2007 Report Posted July 26, 2007 Luke swallowed. "Can I...can I see her?" Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted July 26, 2007 Author Report Posted July 26, 2007 "Not quite Mr Duke...you see...I have reason to believe that Jaime is being abused at home...and as her father...I cannot let you in until you've spoken to the social workers..."]The doctor said solmnly. Bo swallowed, looking to Luke...wondering how he was about to get out of this one.. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted July 26, 2007 Report Posted July 26, 2007 Luke took a deep breath. "She is being abused at home...I lied to you." Hewent onto explain the situation. "I just wanted to be with her and I knew that only family would be allowed. Just don't let her go back there...don't tell em where she is...please..." Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted July 26, 2007 Author Report Posted July 26, 2007 The doctor frowned deeply."So you kidnapped her?" Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted July 26, 2007 Report Posted July 26, 2007 "No sir," began Luke. "Well, I mean...yes I spose legally I did...but I couldn't leave her there...and if it's a crime t' keep a child from bein' beaten and chained to a wall... an t wanna give her a chance at a normal life...then I'm guilty...an I aint sorry," he added hooking his thumbs in his jeans. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted July 26, 2007 Author Report Posted July 26, 2007 The doctor sighed and shook his head."I don't recon that's illegal no....but I have to inform her legal guardian which is her mother...and if we bring her here, the police and social services can have a word with her..." Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted July 26, 2007 Report Posted July 26, 2007 "They'll give her back...you can't do that!" Quote
