DaisyMaeDuke Posted September 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Luke pushed himself up so that he was supported against his headboard and looked worriedly at Bo. It was clear something was wrong...very wrong. But his eyes didn't have the anger/guilt look of being chased by Rosco, the General was running fine, and though Luke's foot wasn't up to par, Bo knew that it was just a temporary thing, so he couldn't be troubled about that. Knowing Bo like he didthat left just one option. "Troy?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Bo nodded again gently, looking back down at the floor as he shook his head, not saying a word as - just when he had been in the room with Troy before - he didn't know what to say.Jesse frowned and looked to Luke."Troy who?"

BoJamesDuke Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Jesse nodded a little, still not understanding but figuring he would come to once they boys had talked.Bo sighed and shook his head, running a hand through his hair before looking to Luke."I;m way too deep into this thing Luke...first he asked me if he was gonna die...then he asked me if I would adopt him...course I didn't know what the hell..."Bo winced at the look Jesse gave him, mumbling an apology before continuing."Didn't know what to say....I had to promise him i'd come back tomorrow afternoon to see him to get him to go to sleep!"
