DixieDavenport Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Luke watched Jesse thinking and hoped he was thinking about Bo rather than the 'secrets' Bo had revealed to Jesse about him being out late and drinking more than he had needed to.

LoriDavenport Posted March 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Rebeccah looked down at her hands that was placed softly into his. She chewed on her bottom lip gently. "Bo...so many men have said that to me.... daddy's put them away for life...I don't want you to be thrown in prison Bo...It'd break my heart. I...I..don't know myself if you can get daddy to budge but...we gotta try something Bo...you mean...alot to me.." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Bo nodded softly, swallowing hard."Before anything though...I need t'talk t'yer Dad...cause starting this off behind his back ain't gonna look good..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerDuke Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Jesse *looking at Luke, both of them with very serious faces* Well, it seems like we got a couple of things to talk about...or at least you do. So what do ya think Bo's gittin' hisself into? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoriDavenport Posted March 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Rebeccah nodded gently. She squeezed his hand softly and looked up to gaze into his deep blue eyes."And if my father tells you that you can't see me... then what will you do?"

BoJamesDuke Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Bo bit his lip, shaking his head"Then we find a way to be together without him knowing...I dont think I can let this go easy Beccah...I just can't..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoriDavenport Posted March 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Rebeccah cradled his hands in hers. She smoothed her fingers over his with a light feathery touch."I...I understand Bo...I can't let an opportunity to be with a man that I know truely cares for me, pass me by... but..how..how will we see each other without him knowing..you know he'll have someone watching me constantly.."

DixieDavenport Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Luke almost let out a sigh of relief, but the topic that Jesse chose was as bad as the one he hoped to dodge, “Well, Sir. You know how Bo was about Diane. He wouldn't listen to any of us and nearly got himself killed. I saw that same look in his eyes when he looked at Rebecca Drutton. Judge Drutton may be your friend but he has never hesitated to lock us up for fighting, racing and anything else he figured we were charged with that was half way legit. I figure if he even thinks that Bo is interested in Rebecca, that the next chance he gets Bo will be making big rocks into little rocks and I'm just likely to be joining him.

BoJamesDuke Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Bo bit his lip, shaking his head"For now Beccah, lets just focus on talking to yer Daddy...see if we can't sway his decision a little...much as he hates people dating ya, I ain't ever known him t'be unfair...sure he's locked me an' Luke away enough times but that's only when we had no evidence t'prove we didn't do what we were bein' charged with...it's fair enough an' he always let us back out once we did get the evidence...and if...if he sends me to Jail Rebeccah...then you can't give up...you gotta come see me an' show him that he can't win that way no more...this ain't just a fight for us Rebeccah, its a fight for every guy you ever loved who got wrongly jailed..."

LoriDavenport Posted March 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Rebeccah gave a smile as sweet as honey and nodded. "Ok Bo...sounds great.."She knew her daddy wouldn't budge and knew he'd disagree all because of who the guy was. Rebeccah only prayed that her father would somehow, change his tune just for Bo...cause he really was special to her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Bo nodded, leaning over and softly kissing her cheek."When shall I talk to him?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerDuke Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 *continue to nervously break up dry bark worried about Bo's future*The way I figure it, that love-struck fool is gonna try to talk ta old Charlie. There ain't gonna be no good come from that. *hesitates and looks to ground*I wonder if I should try ta talk ta the good Judge first.*sounds indecisive*Of course Bo can have the gift of gab at times *smiles* He gits that from his old Uncle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoriDavenport Posted March 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Rebeccah smiled and blushed from the friendly sincere kiss he had given her.

DixieDavenport Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Luke shook his head, “I just don't know if you talking to him would do more harm than good. I mean if you talk to him you are sort of tipping Bo's hand and letting him know Bo is interested in Rebecca. But, on the other hand you are the wise voice of reason and most people see you that way.†Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerDuke Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Luke, when it comes ta love, ya can just throw all that wisdom out with the bath water 'cause it don't amount ta a hill of beans. *looks to ground and back up at Luke*So, are you sure that the Judge doesn't already know?

DixieDavenport Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Luke shook his head 'no' and replied, "No they just ran into each other earlier today. Unless Bo beats you to him or Rebecca herself tells him." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerDuke Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Jesse *gazing off at the horizon* Well maybe it's best I don't go stickin' my old nose where it don't belong. 'Sides, I haven't made it a habit ta keep you boys out of trouble before ya git into it....but it does seem ta be my life's work ta git ya out of it once yer in it. *looks at Luke saying nothing but Luke could tell just by the way Jesse was looking at him that he wanted to know about Bo's accusations* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DixieDavenport Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Luke looked at Jesse, then the ground, stuffed his hands in his front pockets and said, "So, ummmm, now I guess you're awanting to talk to me, huh?" He bit his lower lip and continued, "Yes, part of what Bo told you is true for the most part." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerDuke Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Jesse *rubs sawdust from firewood bark off his hands while continuing to sit on wood pile and looks at Luke*Well don't stop now boy, I'm all ears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DixieDavenport Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Luke swore to himself before he began, "Well, the night Bo was talking about was when Cindy Mae's parents were out of town and we'd been having us a pretty good time at the Boar's Nest. But, it was getting late and I knew you were expecting Bo and I home, so we came home." Luke let his eyes drop from Jesse's to the ground before he continued, "But, being as Cindy Mae didn't have no one homw to know when she got home so she waited down the road a bit til I met her and we went back and closed the Boar's Nest down before I came home again." Luke hoped that was enough of the truth to satisfy Jesse and still keep him alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerDuke Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 *looks Luke in the eye knowing that he will say more if there is more to be said or stay silent if there is no more...at least that was the way Jesse hoped it would play out* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DixieDavenport Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 "Ernie and a couple of his buddies tried to start trouble several times and I did have to calm them down, but when Bo said I lied and said I was coming down with a cold when I really had a hang over, well, that's not true I did feel like I had a cold coming on. I wasn't hung over at all." Luke neglected to tell that no he wasnt' hung over, he was still drunk on the morning in question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerDuke Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 *looks down at ground and then back up and then focuses on trees way off at a distance* I don't know what ta tell you boys anymore when ya head off and do stupid things. Can ya guess what I'm the most disappointed about? *when Luke doesn't answer quickly Jesse continues talking* That there orange stock car there can run on gas or moonshine and when he goes, you boys don't know how ta run him slow. Now YOU on the other hand, young man *points at Lukes chest* can run on good healthy food or run on shine....or whatever that stuff is yer a drinkin' down at the Boar's Nest is. If yer runnin' on shine and yer runnin' with the General at a hundered miles an hour.....*hesitates then speaks softly and looks to ground*Well, I've already lost enough in my life. I just wanna lose no more... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DixieDavenport Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Luke was a bit relieved at Jesse's topic. He had known better to drive after drinking since he was small. "Uncle Jesse that night Cindy Mae was driving not me. If I have more than one or two watered down beers at the Boar's Nest I always make sure someone not drinking is driving. You should know I'm telling you the truth because if I did even ease out of here in the General Lee you would have heard him start at the end of the drive way." Luke wasn't cutting corners on this and he could understand Jesse's concern if it had been different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
