BoJamesDuke Posted February 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 *had walked away from the Boar's Nest down the road. That morning in the barn, all he had wanted was to spend just a few minutes away from everyone else to spend some quiet time before he spent the whole day with people. But no, Luke had even intruded on that and now was expected to talk about it. While it was true Bo told a lot of things to Luke, he didn't have to tell Luke everything and was angry and insulted that Luke was acting this way about it.* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaisyMaeDuke Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 Luke kept alking too not really sure where he was headed but not drivng, knowing he needed to walk off some of his anger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerDuke Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 Jesse *emerges from Boar's Nest and looks for the boys. His eye catches a flash of someone walking down the road at a distance through the trees. Hops in truck and drives up beside Luke and rolls window down* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted February 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 *sighs as he walked, his anger soon dissapating to sadness. What a birthday...what had started out to be a pretty good day had suddenly turned very sour and all because Luke had a problem with him doing something he didn't want Luke to know about. It wasn't like it was anything against the law, wasn't hurting anyone, just something personal he would rather was kept personal.* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaisyMaeDuke Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 Luke sighed as his uncle stopped the truck beside him, and prepared himslf for the tongue-lashing he was pretty sure he would get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerDuke Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Jesse *firmly* Luke, I don't want you to say a word. Get in the truck now. *Luke hesitates then looks like he's getting ready to speak* Oh no you don't Luke, this is important. I have someplace I need to take you and I need you to listen, not talk.

RogerDuke Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Jesse drives truck around the next corner and sees Bo walking. Bo recognizes sound of his uncle's truck but doesn't turn around to acknowledge it until Jesse pulls up to him. Jesse stops pick-up and gives the same order to Bo.

BoJamesDuke Posted February 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 *looks to Jesse as he speaks, seeing Luke but not aknowledging him. Shaking his head, he walked to the back of the truck and hopped into the bed, settling there with folded arms.* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogerDuke Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 *Jesse drove off down the dirt road for a couple miles heading in the direction of the farm. The boys suspected that their uncle was taking them home and Luke didn't say a word. Jesse occasionally glanced back at Bo in the mirror and noticed that he was froze, not even turning his head to the side to take in the sights. A couple miles later when they approached the Old Mill Crossroads, the boys were shocked to see that Jesse had turned down Willow Road and was no longer heading home anymore. Jesse waited for Luke to ask why, but when a minute went by and he didn't, Jesse began the conversation*"Wanna know where we're headin" ?

DaisyMaeDuke Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Luke simply shrugged. He knew he'd find out sooner or later and he wasn't exactly in a conversational mood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerDuke Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Jesse *looks back at road after quickly checking Luke's reaction* Well Luke, we got trouble...and I don't mean bickering trouble. I mean real trouble. I've already talked to Daisy about it and I was goin' to wait till after Bo's birthday ta talk to you boys but I guess it can't wait. *hesitates* sooo...do ya know what I'm talking' about? Daisy hasn't spilled the beans has she? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaisyMaeDuke Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 If...if it's about the money troubles...I've known that for a while...*says averting his eyes as if he knew something else with regards to that particular issue* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerDuke Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Naw Luke, I wish it was that simple. And in case yer wonderin, I was just at Doc Petticord's fer my annual physical and he says I'm gonna outlive dirt so it ain't that either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaisyMaeDuke Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Then what is it? *already getting a gnawing feeling in the pit of his stomach- the money situation had him concerned enough at the moment; it was most of the reason he had been so on edge lately... he couldn't imagine how Jesse could call it simple and if it was, what the non-simple thing could be.

BoJamesDuke Posted February 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 *stays as he was, not hearing the conversation inside the cab of the truck, absorbed in his own thoughts and feelings. In fact he was thinking about what he wanted to do as soon as Jesse's lecture was over...* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerDuke Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Jesse slows truck down and turns onto a private road that doesn't get used much as was evident by the tree branches overhanging and smacking the windshield. The boys soon realize that he is turning onto the trail that is the back access to their back 40. They soon wonder why he would come this way since he would be unable to cross the creek in the pick-up....after all, they can barely jump it in the General. Jesse yells back to Bo "Don't let them branches hit ya. Keep yer head down" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted February 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 *snaps out of his thinking as he was yelled at, looking around before sliding down in the bed, laying so that he was looking up at the clear blue sky and the tops of the trees.* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogerDuke Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Jesse *calmly* Well, I'll tell ya in a little bit here. *Jesse stops truck just before creek and shuts off engine.
