BoJamesDuke Posted December 27, 2007 Author Report Posted December 27, 2007 Somehow, Hughie managed to avoid most of the blows that Luke tried to rain down on him, blocking them as best he could. He eventually managed to throw Luke off him, scrambling to his feet with a grin on his face."Jus' you wait Lukas! I'm gonna get my Uncle on you an' he's gonna put you in prison an' take away your farm!" Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted December 27, 2007 Report Posted December 27, 2007 Still madder than a wet hen, Luke clenched his fists, trying to hide the tears in his eyes. He had no doubt Boss would hear of it. His uncle would lose the farm...and it wold be all his fault. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted December 27, 2007 Author Report Posted December 27, 2007 **PRESENT**Bo shook his head, putting an arm round Luke's shoulders."I remember you came home all worried...took Uncle Jesse all night t'drive it outta ya..." Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted December 27, 2007 Report Posted December 27, 2007 Luke nodded. "I don't remember much about what he said t tell the truth...I just remember sittin on his lap cryin' ..." he smiled a little, "an' pretendin t' be too tired t' get myself to bed so he'd carry me." Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted December 27, 2007 Author Report Posted December 27, 2007 Bo chuckled and nodded with a smile. "I think he always knew when you was pretendin'.." Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted December 27, 2007 Report Posted December 27, 2007 "Yeah...I imagine he did..."said Luke thoughtfully. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted December 27, 2007 Author Report Posted December 27, 2007 Bo nodded a little, falling quiet as more memories came back to him - some good some bad. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted December 27, 2007 Report Posted December 27, 2007 "There wasn't much Jesse didn't know...remember when that rock went through the window?" asked Luke. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted December 27, 2007 Author Report Posted December 27, 2007 Bo grimaced and chuckled a little."Do I ever..." Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted December 27, 2007 Report Posted December 27, 2007 *****FLASHBACK****Luke sat crouched on the ground, half hidden behind the old oak tree, sling shot held tight in his hand, aimed and ready to fire. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted December 27, 2007 Author Report Posted December 27, 2007 Bo was hidden not that much further away, crouched in the bed of old Jesse's truck, peaking over the edge every so often while Cooter was hidden round the side of the old house. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted December 27, 2007 Report Posted December 27, 2007 With a high pitched yell sounding as much like an Indian War cry as he could manage, Luke ran across the yard to the other side of the chicken coop, panting. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted December 27, 2007 Author Report Posted December 27, 2007 As he ran, both Bo and Cooter jumped up from their hiding places to aim at Luke as he ran. Bo chose the oppertune moment to hit Luke when he was in the widest open space...only problem was, it missed Luke by an inch...and the next sound to follow besides Luke's panting was the smash of glass as the kitchen window shattered... Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted December 27, 2007 Report Posted December 27, 2007 Luke heard the shattering of glass and quaked. Stepping out from his hiding spot, he surveyed the damage biting his lip. Someone would be eating dinner off the mantlepiece that night.... Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted December 27, 2007 Author Report Posted December 27, 2007 Bo swallowed hard as Cooter too crept from his hiding place and bit his lip, looing to Luke then to Bo who looked positivly terrified not to mention was already shaking. All too soon, the familiar "BOYS!" yell could be heard and instantly Bo shot off across the yard and jumped into a hay pile/ Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted December 27, 2007 Report Posted December 27, 2007 Luke swallowed hard. "Maybe ya best go home Cooter..." he said silently making his way to the house. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted December 27, 2007 Author Report Posted December 27, 2007 Cooter shook his head, holstering his slingshot in his belt and headed towards the house with Luke."Nu uh buddy...I was playin' too...if yer gettin' told of then I will too." Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted December 27, 2007 Report Posted December 27, 2007 Luke nodded a little holstering his own sling shot and stepping quietly into the house. "You...you called us Unca Jesse?" Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted December 27, 2007 Author Report Posted December 27, 2007 Cooter winced as he saw Jesse, standing wih crossed arms and a stern expression on his face by the broken window."What's happened here?" Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted December 27, 2007 Report Posted December 27, 2007 "We uh...was playin cowboys an injuns Unca Jesse..." began Luke hesitantly. "We...we was usin our slingshots..." Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted December 27, 2007 Author Report Posted December 27, 2007 "After I specifically asked you an' Bo not t'use em..."Jesse said patiently but firmly, wanting Luke to realize that no matter who broke the window, everyone was in trouble. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted December 27, 2007 Report Posted December 27, 2007 Luke hung his head and nodded a little. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted December 27, 2007 Author Report Posted December 27, 2007 Jesse sighed and shook his head."Cooter you can go home, i'll call your father later."Cooter nodded, patting Luke on the shoulder sympathetically before leaving."Who broke the window Luke?" Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted December 27, 2007 Report Posted December 27, 2007 Luke bit his lip. "I...I did Unca Jesse." Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted December 27, 2007 Author Report Posted December 27, 2007 Jesse raised an eyebrow, knowing Luke was lying because one, Bo wasn't in the room and two, Luke hadn't yet understood that their Uncle always knew when they were lying."Really....." He said, fixing Luke with a hard stare. Quote
