Summary: When a man from Luke's past is convinced he is cursed, what lengths will he go to in order to lift the curse.

First chapter will be mostly an original character, later chapters will have much more of Bo and Luke, but first we have to set the story.

The Curse

It was a beautiful day as the Duke family went about their various chores, unaware of the eyes that watched them. The man hidden in the tree looked on Luke with hate filled eyes as he thought about the last time he had seen Luke Duke. They had served in the Marines together, but he had never done as well as Duke. No matter what he did it seemed nobody noticed, unless it was to reprimand him, but not so with Luke Duke, he was the golden boy. Seemed everything he did turned out well,
he could do no wrong, when he finally decided it was time to take Sgt.
Duke out his luck ran true. When they caught him rigging the Sargent's rifle to explode in his hands nobody understood why he had to do what he did. They didn't get it Sgt. Luke Duke wasn't as good as everyone else thought he was and it was his fault that he, Mike Wilson could never get anywhere. Every time he failed he knew it was because of the curse put on him by Luke Duke, that's why he had to kill him,
it was the only way to end the curse. But he failed and because of that he was sent to prison, locked up in the psych ward. Couldn't they see he wasn't crazy, he was cursed, he had spent his time trying to figure out why he'd failed. It should have worked he had been sure nobody saw him tamper with the rifle, after a long time he finally figured out the reason it hadn't worked. Before he could kill Luke Duke and end the curse he had to weaken him, but first he had to find out where he got his strength from. So now that he was here, he would watch until knew and then he would know how to weaken the man who had cursed his life and then he would kill him.

Over the course of the next several days Mike continued to watch Luke, it didn't take long for him to notice that Luke was almost always with the blond young man who must be a family member. They acted as close as brothers but he didn't think the Sargent had ever mentioned a brother, so if he wasn't Luke's brother who was he? He'd have to get closer somehow or maybe he could ask around, then he remembered the bar he had passed, something about pigs, what was it, oh yeah, The Boar's Nest. That's where he'd go, bars were always a good source of information, a couple of hours and a few beers later and he had his answer, Bo Duke, Luke's cousin and best friend. Now that he'd heard the name he remembered Luke talking about his younger cousin back in the Marines, so now he knew his strength came from the bond he had with his cousind and that was how he would weaken him.

It took a coulple of days to get everything ready, first he had to find a place and then he had to figure out how to get his hands on Bo.
Of course the most important thing was to plan exactly what he would do to Bo in order to weaken Luke so he could kill him. Remembering a program he had seen while in prison he got an idea, as he thought about it he knew he had finally found the perfect way to end the curse that was on him. Before he could begin there were certain supplies he would need,
this delayed his plans another couple of days as some of the things he needed were a little difficult, but finally everything was ready and in place. Mike began to follow Bo, waiting for a chance to catch him alone,
when that chance came he was ready to move. He heard Luke's Uncle ask Bo to go over to Capital City in the pick-up and get some parts he needed for the tractor. Mike quickly headed to the road that would take Bo to Capital City, pulling off of the road, he hid his car from view.
When he heard Jesse's truck coming Mike began walking, as Bo came along and saw Mike he pulled over to offer him a ride. All Bo saw was a glimpse of a man about Luke's height with blond hair and brown eyes, and then something stung him, when he woke up he was in an old barn, his hands tied to a rope flung over one of the beams. All Bo could think as he struggled to loosen the ropes was 'what kind of mess have I got into now'?
