Note: I got the idea for this story from another story written by Vinsmouse. The story in question is Friends or Lovers; this story is on another site. I contacted Vinsmouse and asked if I could post my story inspired by Friends or Lovers, I was giving permission.
This story is slash BUT it is clean.

This is an alternate universe. Bo and Luke live with their Uncle Jonah. Daisy and Jesse are not in this story. I have Bo and Luke both 15 years old. Bo is about 5ft 4in tall. While Luke is close to 6 feet tall. Neither one has a driver's license. They are friends with Cooter, who is about 22 years old. This occurs in the summer before their Sophomore year of high school.

The pastor of Sweetwater went to Hazzard to go bird watching. He had his Polaroid camera with him along with binoculars. He was on his way to his car, when he heard two men talking. He didn't think much of it because a Purple Finch caught his eye. He recognized one of the men's voices as Bo Duke's. Bo had dated his daughter several months ago. He liked Bo, but never understood why his daughter broke up with him. As the pastor was leaving he stumbled across the two he heard earlier. To his surprise they were engaged in adult relations.
The pastor left shocked. He couldn't believe what he had just seen. He liked Bo, he had to save him from this sinful way of life. He didn't recognize the other man that was with Bo, but that didn't matter, he had to save Bo's soul. The next day the pastor was on his way to find Bo. When he got to Jonah's farm, no one was there, so the pastor put the pictures he took into Jonah's truck. He had found out by someone in town that Jonah was in jail for several more days. Not sure where Bo was, he just drove around, and he came upon Bo riding a horse in a field. He smiled as he noticed that he was alone. The pastor stopped his car, and got out his tranquiliser gun. He aimed the gun and was about to shoot, when suddenly the horse got spooked. Bo was thrown from the horse. The pastor ran to Bo, at first he was going to help him, but than smiled. He shot Bo with the dart and managed to get him into his truck.
Bo woke up about a half hour later when cold water was thrown onto his face.
"What the hell?"
"I ask you to refrain from using that language."
"George?" Bo looked around the room. He recognized where he was. It was George's barn in Sweetwater.
"What are you doing? Why am I tied up?"
"I saw you the other day."
"What are you talking about?"
"I saw you with that man, Bo." George walked up to Bo and pulled his head back by his hair. "You need to repent Bo. Two men being together is a sin."
"That ain't your business!" That got Bo a slap to the face.
"Your soul is my business and I plan on saving you."
"Saving me? Saving me from what?" George grabbed Bo by the neck hard.
"I'm saving your soul from Hell, Bo."
"You will repent!" George calmly stated as he struck him several times in the face. For three hours George tried to persuade Bo that being with another man was a sin. Bo gave up talking and remained quiet. When George realized he was getting nowhere, he told Bo. "I got an idea to make you see how this is a sin."
George cut the ropes from Bo's legs and pushed the chair over. Bo fell backwards hitting his head hard. In his daze he could feel George trying to unbuckle his belt.
"No! No, stop!" Bo put up such a struggle that George's finger nails were digging into Bo's skin; leaving deep scratches. George happened to glance at his watch. Realizing that his daughter would be home in an hour, he decided to take Bo somewhere else. He didn't want his daughter to come home and find Bo tied up in his barn. He hit Bo hard, knocking him out. He cut the rope that bound his wrists and picked Bo up. George put him in the bed of his truck and drove away. He knew there was several old moonshiner cabins around Hazzard that were no longer being used.
As George was taking Bo to a different location, his tire blew out. He lost control of his truck and went down an embankment. Bo was thrown clear of the vehicle. As luck would have it, Enos was out on patrol and saw the accident. He went down the embankment to the driver's side, and saw that George was already dead. Enos looked around the area and to his surprise he came across someone about 50 feet away from the truck.
"What in the world?" As Enos approached the person, he thought he recogized the man laying there.
"Bo?" As Enos turned him over he couldn't believe what he saw. Bo's left arm was broken and it looked like he was beaten severely. The rope was still attached to both of his wrists and ankles, but cut in the middle. Enos could tell by the way Bo was breathing, he must have broken ribs.
When Bo didn't come home for the afternoon chores, Luke got worried. If Jonah found out that Luke did the chores by himself, Bo would be punished. Enos told Luke he would keep an eye out for Bo. If he found him, he would send him to Cooter's Garage. Even though Jonah was in jail in Chockcaw County, Luke knew he would find out sooner or later.
"This is Deputy Enos Strait calling Tri-County Emergency. I need an ambulance on Hwy 63. One injured, one fatality. Hurry now!" Enos dropped the cb handle and went back to Bo.
"Lost sheep to Enos, come back." Before he could reach Bo, he heard Luke's call on the cb.
"Lost sheep to Enos, come back."
"Luke, you best get here. It's Bo. I'm gone." Luke ran outside to get Cooter.
"Cooter, can you take me..." Cooter interupted him. "I heard him Luke. Let's go." When they saw Enos' patrol car, Cooter pulled up and parked behind him.
"Oh god!" Luke said as he approached Enos and Bo.
"Don't move him Luke." Luke nodded as he knelt down next to Bo.
"What happened?"
"I don't know Luke. I saw the driver lose control. When I got down here, I didn't even realize there was a passenger until I looked around. Saw him lying there." Enos wasn't sure how to tell Luke the rest.
"Ah, Luke. His hands were tied. I think he was kidnapped and beaten. Not sure why tho."
"Where's the driver?" Enos grabbed Luke's arm to hold him back when Luke went towards the truck.
"He's dead Luke." Luke nodded and went back to Bo. Enos grabbed a camera from his patrol car and started to take pictures of Bo's wrists, ankles, and other injuries.
"Ambulance is here." Cooter yelled down to Enos. Enos went to the road and helped Harley with the stokes basket. They got Bo into the ambulance, with Luke and Cooter following in the tow truck. Since Enos could not leave the scene, he radioed Rosco.
When they arrived at the hospital they got Bo to an exam room. Luke had to wait in the waiting room with Cooter. Several minutes later Rosco came in and saw Luke pacing back and forth in the waiting room.
"Luke? Enos told me what happened. How's Bo?"
"Not sure, they won't let me go back." As they were talking, they were interupted by a commotion. They both looked towards the ER doors just in time to see Bo limping towards them. As Bo went past Luke, he gently grabbed Bo by the waist and lowered him to the floor.
"Don't! Don't touch me!" Bo yelled. "Let me go! Let me go!" When he saw the doctor with a needle, he paniced more and tried to get away from Luke. Rosco could tell that Bo was having a hard time breathing.
"No, don't! Luke, don't let them! Stop!"
"Doctor, hold on a minute." Rosco knelt down in front of Bo.
"Bo, listen to me son. It's gonna be alright. Luke is just gonna hold ya. No one else will touch you, alright?"
"No! Don't touch me!" Bo pushed himself back against Luke trying to get away.
As Bo was trying to get away from Luke, Rosco saw the scratches on his stomach near his waist line and the bruises around his throat.
"Bo, did George hurt you down there?" Rosco prayed that he didn't.
"No, he tried. I stopped him. He.." Bo pointed to the doctor. "He wants to hurt me." Bo looked at Rosco. "Don't let him hurt me." Bo at this point was crying hard, so Rosco put his hand on Bo's cheek.
"Bo, it's ok. He won't hurt you. You want them to leave your pants on, while they clean your wounds?" Bo nodded.
"Sheriff, a word please." The doctor took Rosco aside, out of earshot of the boys.
"We need to clean those scratches, or they will get infected. Plus he has several broken ribs we need to tape and a broken arm we need to set. We can't do that if he won't let us touch him."
"Listen, do what you have to do. Sedate him if necessary. Clean the wounds, but put his pants back on when you're done." While they were talking, Luke rocked Bo back and forth all the while repeating. "It's okay." Bo couldn't fight the darkness anymore, and he fell asleep.
When the doctor noticed that Bo was asleep, he quickly gave Bo a seditive. Rosco picked up Bo and carried him to the exam room.
Several minutes later Rosco came back to Luke.
"Luke I'm sorry, I'm gonna have to call Jonah when they release him from jail."
"No, please don't!"
"Luke, I don't have a choice. Your both under 18. I'm sorry." Rosco saw how scared Luke was, and he felt bad.
"Isn't there something you can do?" Cooter asked.
"Legally no. They're both under 18. Jonah has guardianship of them."
"Please don't call! Please!" Luke grabbed Rosco by both fore-arms and begged him not to call. Before Rosco could say anything else, they heard Enos yelling down the hallway.
"Sheriff! Sheriff!" He ran towards Rosco, waving papers in the air.
"What in the world? Enos, keep it down! This is a hospital!"
"These just came for you. I drove as fast as I could. You didn't call Jonah did you?"
"No. Luke begged me to wait on that." Enos smiled and handed Rosco the letters. Rosco read the papers and smiled.
"Luke, it looks like I won't need to make that call after all." He showed Luke the papers.
"I don't understand."
"I got legal guardenship of you and Bo, until you turn 18."
"You mean?"
"Jonah won't hurt you two anymore." Luke just stood there.
"Luke?" Luke looked blankly at Rosco, then passed out. Cooter barely caught him in time before he hit the floor.
"Nurse? I need some help here." The nurse checked over Luke.
"What happened?"
"I just received the papers that I got legal guardianship of him and Bo. I showed them to Luke, and he passed out."
"Let's get him into exam room 2." Cooter picked up Luke and carried him into the exam room and laid him on the bed.
"Could you stay with him until he wakes?" The nurse asked Rosco.
"Yes ma'am. Could you inform the staff that I'm their legal guardian." The nurse gave Rosco a worried look.
"Jonah Duke is in jail for two more days. He won't start trouble with you or the staff." The nurse left the room to inform the staff of the new development. She was smiling as she walked down the hallway. Luke and Bo had been to the hospital several times because of Jonah. She was happy that they would now be safe.
"When did you request guardianship of them two?" Cooter asked Rosco, when the nurse left the room.
"That night when I found out that Jonah was given temperary placement."
"That's great! Bo will be relieved to hear about this." Several minutes later Luke woke up. He looked around confused at first.
"Did I pass out?"
"Yeah buddyrue, you did." Replied Cooter. As the events came back to Luke, he got scared again.
"What about Jonah? He's gonna be mad." Luke quickly sat up. "He's gonna punish Bo!"
"Luke, listen to me." Rosco put his hands on Luke's shoulders. "He'll be in jail for two more days. You two will stay with me, he won't dare start anything with me."
"I got to see Bo. If he wakes up and I'm not there, he's gonna freak out."
"I'll go with you."
They walked into the room and saw that Bo was sleeping. Bo had his ankles and wrists restrained so he wouldn't hurt himself trying to leave. Luke also noticed that Bo had his pants on along with the hospital gown. Luke picked up Bo's hand and sat down on the chair.
"You don't have to go to Jonah's to get your things. I'll send Enos over to get them."
"Thank you. We don't have anything there but our clothes. All of our things are at Cooter's garage." Rosco looked up at Luke when he said that.
"What'd mean, just your clothes are there?"
"Jonah never wanted us there. Said we were to only bring our clothes. I'm glad we was only there for two months, Bo was terrified of him." Several minutes later Bo woke up. Looking around confussed, he paniced when he couldn't raise his arms.
"Bo, it's alright. You're safe now." Bo looked at Luke.
"No. Jonah is..."
"Jonah will not be allowed to come near you..."
"That won't stop him! You can't be with us all the time!" Bo at this point was struggling to breathe.
"Calm down, son." Rosco took out Bo's inhaler. "Bo. Here take this." Rosco put the inhaler to Bo's mouth and Bo took the medicine.
"You ok?"
"Yeah. Thanks."
