DaisyMaeDuke Posted August 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 "Kids," muttered Jesse as he left to call a doc. He really wasn't as mad as he let on...he was worried, especially at the sight of Luke's foot...and when he was worried it always came out harsh.Luke held on to Bo's shoulder tightly as he felt the cold press against his foot. Even that little bit of pressure made his foot tender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 Bo was facing away from Luke and so was able to grimace as Luke squeezed his shoulder and his pressure point. He looked up at Jesse."Uncle Jesse...you recon you could get me some ice too..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaisyMaeDuke Posted August 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 Luke quickly let go of his shoulder. "I'm sorry," he said through tight lips."Doc's on his way..." said Jesse handing the ice to Bo. "You two will be the death of me yet."

BoJamesDuke Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 Bo looked up indignantly, holding the ice to the shoulder Luke had crushed, keeping the ice on Luke's foot with his other hand."Me?! I ain't done nothin'!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaisyMaeDuke Posted August 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 Jesse points a finger at him and then at Luke. "You both find more trouble than a dog finds fleas.""This ain't Bo's fault... an I don't need a doc...it'll mend," protested Luke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 Bo looked over to Luke and scowled"You hush..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaisyMaeDuke Posted August 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 Jesse nodded. "Bo's right...hush..." A knock soon sounded at the door. "That'll be Amos...Luke you tel him what hurts you hear me...don't you try to be no gladiator...if it hurts you tell him."Luke scowled. "Yes sir."Jesse nodded and showed Amos into the house.

BoJamesDuke Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 Bo looked up as the Doc came in, still holding the ice on both him and Luke, smiling a little."Hey Doc....Maudine took a dislikin' to Luke and stomped on his foot..."Amos nodded with a chuckle."Okay...and what happened to you..."Bo grinned"Luke took a disliking to me and crushed my shoulder..."

DaisyMaeDuke Posted August 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 Luke frowned at that, but said nothing."An I've a hankerin t' knock their heads t'gether.." added Jesse. "Just the same, check em both out while you're at it." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 Amos sighed and nodded, giving Bo a glance seeing him about to protest that he didn't need to be checked out, warning him to just be quiet which Bo wisely took as good advice and kept his mouth shut."Alright then Luke let's take a look at this...Bo could you move the ice..."Bo nodded and did so, letting the doctor start checking Luke over.

DaisyMaeDuke Posted August 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 Luke whimpered slightly as the ice was removed and the doc started checking it over. "Ow!" cried Luke as the doc touched a tender spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 Amos watched and listened to Luke's reactions and nodded with sigh."Yup...that's definitly broken.

DaisyMaeDuke Posted August 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 "No...No I got stuff t' do here....I...I don' wanna go there.." stammered Luke."Now Luke you heard the doc..." began Jesse."No...I don't wanna go!" he cried again, hosptals giving him the heebiejeebies.

DaisyMaeDuke Posted August 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 Luke said nothing more, knowing he wouldn't get his way anyway.Jesse looked at the doc. "Best check Bo out while yer at it...Luke don't always know his own strength." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 Amos nodded and watched as for once, Bo was being the bigger person...but he didn't miss the smug look on Bo's face...either he knew nothing was wrong or he knew something that no one else did.He looked over Bo's shoulder carefully."Does it hurt anywhere Bo?"Bo shook his head, moving his shoulder as the doctor moved it around."No not really...Luke just got my pressure point is all..that hurt...but now its ok..."Amos nodded, continuing to check Bo's shoulder.

DaisyMaeDuke Posted August 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 Luke watched worriedly, too worried for Bo to notice the pain in his own foot.Jesse looked at the doc. "Well Amos?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 Amos shook his head."As far as I can tell everything is fine...I do reccomend that Bo get an x-ray done on his shoulder just to be sure though...there is one heck of a bruise going to be there for definite..."Bo sighe and nodded.

DaisyMaeDuke Posted August 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 Jesse nodded. "Alright. Out to the truck...the both of ya..." he said putting his arm around Luke's waist nd helping him to the truck. He waited until both his boys wee in before thanking Amos, asking him to send the bill before getting in himself and taking off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 Amos nodded , helping Jesse get Luke in the truck before taking off himself. Bo was sat next to Luke, tapping on the door rhythmically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaisyMaeDuke Posted August 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 Soon Jesse pulled up to the hospital watching as, once in, both his boys were taken away for xrays. Jesse sat down weakly and waited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 Bo laid still as they took x-rays of his shoulder, knowing somewhere in a room not too far away Luke was probably still protesting that he didn't need it and wanted to go home. He also, Bo knew, could be panicking. Luke wasn't particularly good with enclosed spaces when he was alone...a phobia left over from his POW time in Vietnam.

DaisyMaeDuke Posted August 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 Luke was panicking. It began the moment he heard the door close behind him and noticed the lack of windows in the small room. "Look you know what's wrong...just fix it."But the technicians would hear none of it. Carefully they laid Luke on the xray table and ordered him to lie still as the machine turned on, carrying him like an auto part on a conveyor belt to his fate.Luke's heart was pounding as he felt the familiar closeness come over him. Slowly he started thinking of the General, Jaime, Bo...anything to distract him from the fear he felt inside of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 Bo closed his eyes as the machine above him started up and laid perfectly still, trying to reach out to Luke anyway he could. He didn't know if trying to speak to him in his mind would work, after all that only ever worked in sci-fi movies and between twins sometimes. He and Luke definitly were not twins. Still, he could always try,"Luke...its alright...just stay calm, everythin's alright cousin.." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaisyMaeDuke Posted August 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 Just as Luke was feeling the machine encicle him, he seemed to hear Bo's voice out of nowhere, telling him it was ok...to be calm. Luke closed his eyes, not realizing that Bo was talking to him. "I'm so scared Bo," he whimpered trembling as he did so."Sir you have to keep still," ordered the technician as he pressed a few buttons making the machine take picture after picture.
