Candy shook her head desperatly, trying to say something else to him but he wouldn't let her, finishing up what he had to say before going inside without a second glance.

Choking before breaking into sobs, Candy grabbed a cab and headed back to the place her and Jack and been saying at to to pick up her things.

"Bo!" he called very near tears. "Bo take me home...please...I wanna go home."

Bo looked up as he heard Luke calling down the corridor before he came into the room, standing up instantly and going to him seeing the tears in Luke's eyes....he hated that. Luke never ever cried...unless it was something really really bad...like someone had died or something...

He instantly pulled Luke into a hug, holding his brother close.

Luke collapsed into the hug holding Bo tight. "Take me home...I wanna go home, " he said choking back tears.

Bo sighed, looking to Daisy and Cooter, asking them gently to leave the room so he could talk with Luke alone.

"Luke...come on sit down..."

Daisy nodded and walked with Cooter out of the room with a worried glance at her cousins.

Luke shook is head as he found himself being led to sit down. "I wanna go home...take me home..." he begged holding his stomach.

Bo swallowed softly, sitting Luke down.

"Luke we can't...we gotta stay here an' make sure Lori's ok remember...we gotta...what happened.."

Tears were soon cascading down his cheeks. "She's married Bo...you were right...That fella ain't her brother...it's her husband.... they wanted to hurt Lori...and me...that's why they came here..she admitted it...right to my face..."

Bo swallowed hard, an instant dislike springing up now for Candy too....but still something felt wrong..

"But...Luke....if she really intended to do that even now...why would she admit it to you...and why would she save Lori's life?"

"Maybe she chickened out...maybe she changed her mind...it don't matter to me.." said Luke darkly, tears spilling from his eyes. "She set out to hurt me...and Lori too. I thought she cared about me...it was all a set up....a big fat lie."

Bo sighed and shook his head.

"Luke it just don't make no sense...if you really set out to hurt someone...how do you suddenly go from hating them to loving them again in a second...I ain't forgiven Lori yet for hurting you and I sure ain't forgiving Candy for it neither..."

"Maybe she's psychotic...who knows? All I know is...I'm tired of getting hurt. I'm tired of it. I don't know how you do it. You wear your heart on your sleeve. The minute I allow mine to be seen... it gets trampled on....I can't do this...." Tears were streaking down his cheeks and he made no effort to hide them knowing it would do no good.

Bo sighed and got out his handkerchief, gently wiping Luke's cheeks.

"I can wear my heart on my sleeve....because I know if it gets trampled on I got my big brother to tell me everythin' gonna be ok again...I got him to tell me that no matter how much your heart gets trampled on by girls, you can't let it put ya down...because you'll sink into a place you don't wanna be..."

Luke swallowed as he said that and hugged Bo sorrowfully, his heart feeling shattered and feeling that Bo was the only one he could trust.

Bo hugged him back, rubbing his back through the blue plaid and resting his head on top of Luke's....boy did it feel wierd to be doing that....he never did this....mainly because Luke never let him before.

"Now Luke...you gotta think...if Cooter knew about Candy...that means Lori had to as well...now she could have left Candy behind in that shack, seein' as she means so much to ya an all...something had to have happened between them girls for them to help each other out...Lori would never let Candy near ya if she knew she was still gonna hurt ya...."

Luke just laid his head against Bo, unable to say anything.

"Now I ain't gonna sit by and watch ya mope over all this....either i'm gonna prove that she still loves ya and get you two back together....despite how i'm feelin' about her...or i'm gonna find out the truth an look after ya...because I know how happy she makes you and I don't want you to lost that..."

Luke swallowed. "I don't want her to hurt you too...I don't need her...I don't..."

Bo sighed hard

"Luke...you can claim that and tell yourself that as much as you want...but I can see she's a part of ya...and if making you happy is what she does...I aint got no right to stand in the way....but I got an obligation to help out my brother..."

"She don't...how can she make me happy?! She lied to me! She lied to all of us! "

Bo shook his head

"She never lied about how she feels about you Luke...and i'm gonna prove it to you..."

"Don't go Bo...please"

Bo shook his head, keeping Luke close.

"I'm not gonna..."

Luke swallowed nodding, just wanting Bo to stay with him.

Bo continued to hold him, waiting for news and waiting for Daisy and Cooter to come back.
