The Help: Part One:
The Dukes, and Lorraine got to the hospital, as soon as they got Mavis's phone call, and they were all desperate to find out what is going on with Cooter, and Lorraine was crying her eyes out, and Daisy, and Jesse were busy comforting her, and Luke, and Bo were busy being mad, and figuring out how to get even with the guys, who hurt their best friend.
Pamela and Nancy Lou were busy babysitting Monica, and fixing themselves Dinner, and since everyone is at the hospital, they have to take care of themselves that night, and Monica was sleepy, and Pamela said with a weary smile, "Let's put this one to bed", and Nancy nodded in agreement, and they did the task, and went into the Living Room to talk until they were tired, and ready for bed.
Dr. Cooper, Cooter's doctor, came out to talk to Lorraine, and the Dukes while Mavis sat with Cooter, and he wasn't too happy with the test results he ran on Cooter, and he said, "He is finally stable, and is fine for the time being, but he has suffered some injuries that need time to heal, and some Internal Bleeding, right now, we need to pray that he will make it, and come back to us, also Brain Damage is possible, I am so sorry but that's all I have for now", and he left to make his rounds. Lorraine cried out, "No!" and the Dukes comforted her, and they went to Cooter's room after they calmed down.
Pamela saw that Nancy was not being herself, and she saw that her friend was trying to hide the tears that were trying to come out, and she said, "Hey, Girl, you don't have to hide your feelings from me, let them out", and Nancy cried on her friend's shoulder, and Pamela comforted her, and said, "Feel better?" and Nancy smiled, and said, "Thanks", and she said, "I just got my father back, and we have a relationship, and I am afraid to lose him, what if he doesn't make it?" and Pamela dismissed what she just said, and she said confidently, "He will make it, he's a fighter", and Nancy knew that her best friend was right, and they were both suddenly tired, and went to their bedrooms.
At that moment, Leo, and Scotty were having a meeting with their boss, Connelly, and he said, "There was a problem with the Garage, and we took care of the Mechanic, but what if he has friends?" and Leo said in agreement, "Yeah, what if he does?" the well-known leader, and Criminal said, "If he does, take care of them too, we can't afford any delays", and the two top men nodded, and they went out for a late night drink.
The Dukes, and Lorraine went back into Cooter's room later on, and Mavis greeted them, and Lorraine cried out when she saw the sight of her husband, and Mavis comforted her, and Lorraine thanked her for staying, and sent her home, and they went to his bedside, and she said exclaiming sobbing, "Honey, please wake up, you got to make it, we got two girls, who are counting on you to walk them down the aisle on their Wedding day, Please fight!" and she cried once again, and she went to the side, Jesse comforted her, and Luke said, "Cooter, Don't you give up, We need you, and you are part of our family, so don't give up, cause if you do, I will have to keep talking to you until you cry "Uncle!"", and everyone laughed a bit, and he concluded, "Don't worry about your girls, we will take care of them", and he went to comfort Lorraine, and sit with her, and Jesse.
Daisy said next, "Cooter, Honey, I will need you to help Bo, and Luke protect me, I mean what if a rowdy guy gets fresh with me, I need you cause I think of you as my big brother too, not just a friend", and she kissed the top of his forehead, and went to where Lorraine, Luke, and Jesse were. Bo said, "Cooter, We will help out at the Garage, don't worry, and we will also protect the girls too, like Luke says, just please open those eyes, Cooter Davenport, or we will never forgive you", and he went to join the others, and they showed their emotion, and then Lorraine said to her friends as she calmed herself down, "I appreciate everything, I know Cooter will too, thanks, I mean it from the bottom of my heart", and Luke said, "Don't worry, that's what friends are for", and the other Dukes agreed.
