It had been almost two days since Bobby Baxter came back to Hazzard. Bo had just begun to feel a little more relaxed, but never let his guard down. The day following Bo's first indoor flying lesson at the Boars Nest, Jesse had contacted doc Appleby incase Bo had hurt his head some how the day before, but when the doc checked him over he found nothing wrong with Bo except his black eye and a few other bruises.
But it wasn't until the day after that did things start to get bad. Bo and Luke had been outside doing their morning chores when Jesse had gotten a call from a friend of the families wanting Jesse to go to their farm because their old cow was due to be giving birth later that day and old man Johnson wanted Jesse there incase the old cow had any problems. Jesse went outside after the phone call to let his nephews know.
"Boys, I'm going to head over to Jimmy Johnson's farm, his old cow is giving birth and he wanted me there incase she has any problems." Jesse told his nephews.
"Alright Uncle Jesse." Luke called back as he continued chopping wood. Bo who had been in the barn feeding Maudine the mule didn't hear his uncle.
"Where's Uncle Jesse going?"
"Old man Johnson called and wanted him to go over incase his cow has trouble giving birth."
"Oh, okay." Bo said as he went inside to get a drink. As he was rummaging in the fridge, the phone rang. Stopping his search, Bo went to answer it.
"Hello?"
"Is Luke there?"
"Yeah, but may I ask who's calling?"
"This is Mindy Sue Carmichaels."
"Alright, I'll get him for you, just a minute." Bo said as he put the phone down. He walked outside and stood on the porch.
"Hey Luke, phone. It's Mindy Sue Carmichaels." Bo said as he went back inside. Luke came in a minute later and got the phone from Bo. When Luke began talking, Bo went back outside to finish his chores. Bo had just begun taking the chopped wood behind the barn where the wood pile was, when out of nowhere Bobby Baxter appeared. Bo instantly froze and stared at Bobby.
"What's the matter Duke? Ain't ya happy to see me?" Bobby said as he started walking towards Bo. Thinking fast, Bo threw the fire wood he was carrying at Bobby, hitting him in the stomach. While Bobby was down trying to catch his breath, Bo took off running into the woods behind the barn.
"Damn you Duke!" Bobby yelled as he took off running after Bo intent on really hurting him.
Luke came back out of the house after he was finished talking on the phone with his latest date for the week. Because Luke was in the house and on the phone, he hadn't heard Bobby yelling at Bo, so Luke just went back to chopping wood. At first Luke didn't notice Bo wasn't anywhere to be seen. Luke figured he was probably in the barn doing something in there, but after a few minutes of nothing but the sound of Luke's axe hitting wood, Luke started to wonder if Bo had snuck off somewhere to take a nap, which he had done in the past forcing Luke into having to do his chores as well. Sticking his axe in a piece of wood, Luke headed towards the barn intent on make Bo finish his own chores if he was diddly daddling around.
"Bo, if yer fooling around and trying to make me do your chores, your in big trouble." Luke said loud enough to be heard from every spot in the barn. Luke figured Bo wouldn't answer, so he decided to start looking around for him. After searching the entire barn twice, Luke began to worry. But before he could let his worrying become official, Luke decided to check around the rest of the farm.
While Luke was looking in all the wrong places for his youngest cousin, Bo was still running for his life through the woods, Bobby hot on his tail.
"Get back here and fight me like a man, Duke!" Bobby kept yelling. Bo ignored him and kept running as fast as he could. Bo was starting to get tired and was starting to slow down a little, which made it easier for Bobby to catch up to him.
"I gotcha now Duke!" Bobby said as he reached his hand out to grab the back of Bo's shirt. Before Bobby could get a hold of Bo's shirt, Bo took off in a sudden burst of speed. Bobby started cursing out loud using words that would rival a sailor. Bo was almost home free when the ground suddenly dropped out from under him, having forgotten about the large ditch that was dug a few years ago on the edge of the Duke property, he ended up falling down it.
Bobby saw Bo disappear up ahead and smiled to himself. Bobby knew about the ditch up ahead since he had been exploring the Duke property a couple of days before he met Bo at the Boars Nest. Bobby ran over to the edge of the ditch and saw Bo lying at the bottom. Smiling to himself, Bobby began going down the side of the ditch intent on making Bo hurt more then he probably did at the moment.
Luke was still having no luck in finding Bo, which made him really start to worry. Luke went to the General and reached in through the driver's side window and picked up the CB mic. Luke began calling Jesse to let him know Bo was missing.
"Lost Sheep to Shepard, you got yer ears on, come back." Luke said frantically. After a moments silence Jesse's voice came over the air.
"This is Shepard, what's the matter Luke?" Jesse asked clearly hearing the panic in his nephew's voice.
"Uncle Jesse, you need to get back here as fast as you can, I can't find Bo anywhere and I've checked everywhere around the farm."
"I'll be there as fast as I can, you just hang tight."
"Alright, Lost Sheep out." Luke said as he put the mic back. Luke then did the only thing he could do, and that was wait for Jesse to get back.
Meanwhile Bobby had gotten Bo out of the ditch and was dragging him through the woods. Because Bo was out cold, Bobby didn't have to worry about him yelling. Bobby found a clearing and saw a tree that was standing in the middle of the clearing. Finding some strong vines, Bobby tied Bo to the tree. Bobby then took out an old greasy handkerchief and used it as a gag so when Bo woke up, he wouldn't be able to scream or call for help.
After Bobby was sure Bo wouldn't be able to get loose, he headed towards a campsite he had made where he was staying the night. After arriving at the site, Bobby started looking through his stuff looking for things he could use to torture Bo with. After finding some things he wanted to use this time around, he headed back to the spot he left Bo. Bobby was a bit surprised to see Bo awake, but it made him feel good seeing the large amount of fear in Bo's eyes.
"I have some things for you." Bobby said with a nasty smile as he held out a long horse whip and some fire crackers. Bo's eyes instantly grew larger when he realized what Bobby was planning to do.
"I got some other things for you as well, but you'll have to wait to see them." Bobby said as he threw a along rope over a large tree branch. He then walked over to Bo and knelt down next to him. Bobby then proceeded in tying Bo's arms and legs together before cutting the vines that held Bo in place. Bobby then tied one end of the longer rope tightly around the ropes around Bo's wrists. Once that was done, Bobby then started pulling on the free end of the rope until Bo was hanging in mid air by his wrists. After securing the rope to the tree, Bobby then began to get ready for what he had in store for Bo.
I dunno 'bout ya'll, but I'm worried about Bo. I hope Jesse and Luke think about checking the woods before Bobby really does hurt Bo. Ok, now ya'll know what to do. Please let me know what you thought of it. I'll be much obliged when you review.
