Daddy Duke (continuation of Why is it)

[BoJamesDuke]

Jesse frowned more, stepping out the stall and closing the gate behind him, putting his hands on his hips.

"You think he's missing?"

[DaisyMaeDuke]

Luke bit his lip and thought a moment. "Yeah...yeah I do."

[BoJamesDuke]

Jesse sighed and ran a hand down his beard before looking outside.

"Well...it ain't dark yet...and I know Bo wanted to keep away from ya a bit...he's probably gone for a walk...."

[DaisyMaeDuke]

Luke nodded. "I'll go look for him." With that he set out walking.

[BoJamesDuke]

Jesse quickly grabbed Luke's shoulder and pulled him back.

"Ah now Luke...you leave him alone...he's obviously gone for a reason an' the last thing I want is for you to go find him only to have an argument an' end up hurtin' each other. You go eat your dinner, I'LL go find Bo."

[DaisyMaeDuke]

Luke sighed. "If you say so..." He turned and headed inside not bothering to argue.

[BoJamesDuke]

Jesse shook his head as Luke trudged inside before hopping into his truck and heading out to find Bo.

[DaisyMaeDuke]

Luke sat at the table quietly, not saying anything.

[BoJamesDuke]

Lavinia looked to him, seeing Jesse driving away from the farm a little quickly.

"What's going on Luke?"

[DaisyMaeDuke]

"Bo's missing," he answered quietly.

[BoJamesDuke]

"Missing?! What d'ya mean missing!"

Lavinia asked, near dropping the thing she was carrying.

[DaisyMaeDuke]

"He got mad at me and left," he answered quietly feeling horrible.

[BoJamesDuke]

Lavinia sighed and put the plate down on the table, crossing over and hugging Luke softly.

"Don't worry...he's probably just gone for a walk...or to water bomb something...you know he does that when he gets angry..."

[DaisyMaeDuke]

"Guess so, " he answered absently.

[BoJamesDuke]

Lavinia nodded, placing a plate in front of him.

"Come on eat up...it'll be ok you'll see..."

[DaisyMaeDuke]

Luke nodded and started to eat.

[BoJamesDuke]

Lavinia settled down beside him and started to eat her own food.

"So what's going on with you an' Jenni..."

[DaisyMaeDuke]

Luke flushed. "Nothin..."

[BoJamesDuke]

Lavinia nodded.

"So why did ya storm in earlier mutterin' about how awful girls are..."

[DaisyMaeDuke]

Luke sighed. "She felt bad...but she won't let me help!"

[BoJamesDuke]

Lavinia nodded, swallowing down what was in her mouth before saying.

"So...what are you plannin' on doin' now..."

[DaisyMaeDuke]

Luke shrugged . "Bo said I should learn the thing she's sposed t know an teach her...but somethin tells me it ain't just about some somersault..."

[BoJamesDuke]

Lavinia nodded, thinking some things over. She gathered that Luke was talking about something to do with Jenni's gymnastics.

"Well...why not get the coach to come along an' go an' support Jenni' instead..."

[DaisyMaeDuke]

"Cuz the coach yelled at her an' embarrassed her in front of her teammates...as if she don't already get yelled at enough..." said Luke angrily.

[BoJamesDuke]

"Alright alright...but still...everyone gets frustrated and the coach has a whole team to deal with...why not get some one on one coaching for Jenni and be there to make sure things dont get out of hand...offer her some support..."

Lavinia reasoned gently.
