Uncle Jesse was breaking every speed limit in getting to the hospital that some of the chickens was going into early labor.

He finally made it to the hospital in record time and then he quickly got out of the truck and rushed into the hospital

an walked on over to the nurse who was working the front desk at first Jesse had to catch his breath.

" Excuse me... ma'am my name is Jesse Duke I'm here to see my nephew Luke Duke who was brought in last night ". said Jesse

" Okay sir if you have a seat the doctor should be out to see you shortly ". said the nurse

Uncle Jesse felt like he had been sitting forever until he saw Doc Applebee coming toward's him ".

" Hey Jesse I wish I had better news for ya ". said Doc

" How's my boy doing Carl ?". asked Jesse

" Well to be frank Jesse I don't know how he survived an impact like he got ". said Doc

" How bad was it ?". asked Jesse

" Unfortunately Luke suffered a moderate concussion , internal bleeding, and all ribs on his left side have been broken ".

" sadly one of those ribs punchard one of his lungs so we had to hook him up to a ventilator pump ".

" I'm really sorry to have to say this to ya Jesse but he's slipped into a Coma. said Doc

" Can I see him now Carl ?". asked Jesse

" Well at the moment the nurses are still getting him set up in the ICU a nurse should be out soon ". said Doc

Meanwhile Luke was laying out colder then a dead mackeral hooked up to everything in the room , bandage on his forehead

and with a breathing tube snaking out of his mouth , he had some bruising on his hands that you couldn't see because they

were covered with bandages and unfortunately O'l Luke suffered a rather serious concussion.

Meanwhile back in the waiting room Uncle Jesse was filled with anxity over the fact that the boys may not be lucky this time.

as the hours ticked by Jesse started getting tired so he fixed himself a cup of coffee at the sametime a nurse came out.

" Mr. Duke you can see Luke now but you can't stay for long only 10 minutes I'm sorry ". said nurse peggy

So Jesse put down the cup of coffee he was drinking and followed the nurse down a long hallway to the elevator's

then they got in and the nurse pushed the button for the 9th floor and then they was off ".

Once the elevator reached the ninth floor Jesse then followed through two doors then another hallway until they reached the

nurse who was working the front desk at the ICU and she told her that Jesse was here to see Luke.

" Hello Mr. Duke you'll have to sign in fore' you go see Luke ,. you can only see him for 10 minutes ". said Pammy

" Yes I'm well aware of that fact I just want to make sure my boy is okay ". said replied Jesse

So Jesse was then led into the ICU and over to a bed that was in a far corner at first glance Luke appered to be sleeping

until you took into account all the machines he was hooked up to and to see Luke in this state just broke Jesse's heart.

" Oh ... Luke my poor boy .. it's your Uncle Jesse boy if you hear me make some kinda sign ?". begged Jesse

" but unfortunetly Jesse didn't recieve a reply the only noise he heard was the sound of the ventilator pump".

" Luke please don't go you ain't ready yet you is too young boy please just open your eyes ". said Jesse

Jesse tried well into the night to get Luke to open his eyes up but no matter how long he tried it wouldn't happen.

Before Jesse knew it a nurse came in telling him his time was up so he rubbed Luke's hair and patted him on the shoulder

hoping to get a response but all Jesse got was flick of an eyelash as a response so he sighed and left the room .

With a heavy heart Jesse started the drive back to the farm he silently prayed that god would let Luke stay

but since the lord is holding all the cards Jesse prayed that fate wouldn't dealt him a bad hand.

When Jesse arrived at the farm Daisy was standing in the kitchen looking out the window watching Uncle Jesse.

" Hey Uncle Jesse Enos told me about Luke how is he ?". asked Daisy

By Jesse's red eyes Daisy could tell that it wasn't good news so she braced herself".

Before Jesse answered Daisy's question he fixed himself a cup of coffee and grabbed the paper ".

" Well Uncle Jesse how is Luke doing ?".asked Daisy

" Oh Honey I wish I had better news's for ya but he ain't good at all ". said Jesse

" How bad off is he ?". asked Daisy

As Jesse sipped his coffee and was watchin' the fire sizzle he took a deep breath and sighed ".

" Oh baby ..well he .. well he slipped into Coma ".

" !OH NO.!., !NO! not Luke Please, not Luke cried Daisy into Uncle Jesse's chest ".

" What are we gonna do Uncle jesse ?". asked Daisy

" Well we are just gonna have to pray that the good lord see's fit to let Luke stay ". said Jesse

Meanwhile in a little office in Atlanta a man was reciving a phone call to let him know that the job had been done".

" Hey Boss just wanted to let you know that the job had been taking care of so don't you worry". Said Parker

" Well good boys that makes very happy of a job well done you'll receive a special bonus bye bye now ".
