Harve glared at the man. "I told you to keep an eye on him didn't I? Didn't I?!"

"Well yeah Boss, but then you called us back to do something and when we went back he was gone...I don't understand how, he was tied up real tight..." The man said, slightly fearful.

"I..don't...care...how ...he...got...away..." says Harve with emphasis. "You just get him back here....I don't care if you have to push pull or drag him....but you get him here...you understand me?!"

Bo grinned as he heard the heated conversation and saw the guy scurry away quickly. He knew Luke had gotten away, he was to smart not to be able to get out of a simple tape binding.

Jaime swallowed as she thought of where Luke was...she knew he was safe at her house, no one could suspect he was there because of the fact that her mother rarely ever allowed people to come visit, let alone strangers and anyone who lived here would know that and she recognised these guys as being from around here. At least now she could tell Luke where Bo was...

Harve stood over him. "Grin all you want Duke boy...by the time I'm through with you and your cousin, you won't be able to move..."

Bo looked up at him defiantly, hightened by the fact that Luke had gotten away and might have been able to get help by now in searching for him.

"You ain't got a snowball's chance in hell of findin' Luke now...he's an ex-marine...he knows how to hide out from you guys easy..."

Harve smirked. "We'll see how a Marine does against an Army sniper then, won't we?

Bo clenched his jaw, breathing hard down his nose before answering.

"Army personel are as useful as a chocolate teapot...everyone knows the Marines are not only tougher but more skilled at what they do...they're trained and pushed harder than the army...you still ain't got a chance of findin' him..."

The was of course unless Luke wanted them to find him, which he had little doubt at some point he would let them. But first he would come up with a plan in which to get them both out of the situation. He could only pray that Luke wouldn't do it alone.

And it was this prayer that Jaime heard and nodded to. She knew Bo was safe for now, the man standing above him had no intention of hurting Bo while Luke was not there. The whole point of hurting Bo was to hurt Luke and visa versa so he could see no point in doing that when Luke wasn't around. She slipped away from the window, keeping a mind on the other occupants of the woods searching for Luke and heading back for her house with the new information.

Luke rested his head against the pillow, thankful that Jaime's mom had moved to the other room. He didn't want her to see the fear in his eyes...or the anxiety that might betray Jaime was gone.

Jaime quickly headed back for her house, running through the woods and taking any direction that was away from teh guys looking for Luke, soon arriving back at the house. She climbed back up the drainpipe and opened her bedroom window, climbing in and shutting it again. She thre the rucksack under her bed and hurried down the stairs.

Luke looked up and breathed a sigh of relief as he heard her come down the stairs. "

Jaime hurried into the lounge and sat down by the couch.

"I know where Bo is..."

Luke sat up quickly. "Is he alright?"

Jaime pushed him back down to the couch.

"He's fine...tied down to a table...but he's fine, they ain't gonna do nothin' to him until they've got you..."

"Me..." he repeated not quite understanding.

Jaime nodded and repeated what she had heard to Luke, about who the guys were holding Bo and what Bo had said to the guys....she was still trying to figure out a way to tell him about what Bo had been praying however without giving away her secret.

Luke swallowed his mind racing trying to think how he could save Bo. "Maybe if I let them find me..."

"No! Bo doesn't want you to!"

Jaime blurted out, only realising what she had said when it was too late.

"What?! You talked to him?!" he looked at her eagerly.

Jaime swallowed, trying to think up quickly some sort of explanation...she hoped to god her mother wasn't listening because there would be some consequences that would be fairly bad for Jaime if she was.

"I....no...I...just know..."

"What do you mean?"

Jaime shook her head, looking a little frightened.

"Please...please don't ask..."

Luke frowned. "What's going on?"

"Nothing! Nothing!"

Jaime ran from the room and upstairs to her room, swallowing hard....praying her mother wasn't listening.

Her mother knocked on her door. "Jaime?!"
