The Dukes was sure in a mess this time I got me a feelin' that thing's is going to get worse before they get better.
O'l eagle eyed Enos was out on patrol this morning hunting for them boy's that had caused O'l Bo, Luke's wreck.
He didn't have much luck looking' for them in town so he figured he best try on one of the back roads leading out of town.
Meanwhile the Dukes was just now arriving at the hospital to see Luke.
" Morning' Ma'am we is here to see my nephew Lukas Duke who is a patient of Doc. Appleby". explained Jesse
" Okay Mr. Duke if you'll have a seat the doctor should be out to see you soon". said Nurse Jolene
Meanwhile in the ICU Doc. Appleby was just starting Luke on the antibiotic.
Doc. Appleby silently prayed that the antibiotic would take down some of the swelling in Luke's brain.
Luke Duke ain't out of the wood's yet he ain't dead but at least he is still hanging on.
Meanwhile back in the waiting room Bo couldn't take sitting' anymore so started pacing, Daisy read a magazine
Bo would you sit down fore' you wear a hole in the carpet!". complained Jesse"
As much as Bo didn't really want to sit down he didn't really have much of a choice so he sat down.
Suddenly Jesse heard some footsteps so he looked up an saw that it was Doc. Appleby ".
" Hello Jesse, Bo, Daisy I bet y'all is wondering how Luke is doing?". asked Doc
Doc. Appleby sighed "We just started him on the antibiotic to see if that brings down the swelling".
Jesse wondered " Well Doc do you reckon that Luke will wake up soon ?".
" I ain't about to give y'all any false hope the only thing I can tell ya is that time will tell". promised Doc
" Can we see Luke now Doc ?". asked Bo
" Sure but only one at a time an I'm sorry but you can only stay for 10 minutes sorry". Apologized Doc. Appleby
So Bo was the first to see Luke Bo could feel his heart breaking at the site of Luke.
Bo slowly walked on over to the bed an he picked up Luke's hand which didn't have the IV in it .
" Luke, Luke, Luke.. c'mon please wake up .. Luke please don't leave me ". begged Bo
Luke could faintly hear Bo's voice in his head but his eye's felt like they was being weighed by brick's.
" Luke , Luke, please ... make some kind of sign that you can hear me?". begged Bo
Bo was starting to get very frustrated with Luke Bo was never a patient person Luke was always the more patient.
Bo sighed " Okay Luke I'm givin' you a fair warning now wake up!.",..."LUKE DUKE WILL YOU WAKE UP".
At first Bo thought he was seeing things when he noticed Luke's eyes moving under his eyelid's.
" That's it c'mon Luke... wake up now.. c'mon Luke don't leave me ." begged Bo
Luke was trying' his best to break free of the darkness that had him in its grip for so long he couldn't do it just yet.
" DANGNIT LUKE DUKE WILL YOU WAKE UP !". Shouted Bo
Suddenly Bo heard footsteps coming into the room an he looked up an saw that it was a nurse.
" Sorry honey your time is up I have to exam the patient now you can wait out in the hallway". Said Nurse Pammy
So Bo slowly put Luke's hand back onto the bed and stepped out into the hallway figured he best see Jesse, Daisy.
Meanwhile back in the ICU Luke's nurse was checking out all of Luke's vitals which for now looked really good.
So she lifted up Luke's left eyelid and she shined the light in hoping to get a response but no Luke was still out.
So far the Dukes ain't had much luck in getting' out of this mess sure hope things don't thicken' up worse.
Meanwhile Enos was still on the hunt for them varmit's he ain't had much luck so far.
Speaking of them two rascal's that Boss hired they was over at the Boars Nest having a meeting with Boss.
" Them Dukes ain't about to ruin my plan's in turning the Boar's Nest into a Wild West Saloon". laughed Boss
" Don't worry none Hogg we made sure them Dukeboy's wouldn't be a thorn in your side. promised Clay
" Anyway Hogg the reason we came here is to collect the money you promised us ". reminded Harley
Boss said angrily Okay fine here is the Money 80,000 hundred dollar's that I promised y'all for a job well done".
So after getting the money them two varmint's was just now getting into the car , heading out-of-town.
Just at that very moment Enos was coming into town an he couldn't believe his luck when he spotted them.
" Oh lordy this must be my lucky day hey y'all stop hey your under arrest stop !". yelled Enos
"! Oh NO ... it's that dipstick of a deputy I ain't about to end up in the Hazzard jail c'mon hit it! ". ordered Clay
So Enos was now chasing on down them varmint's who caused Bo, Luke's wreck he was bound to catch them.
Enos wasn't about to let them two off the hook he was sticking to them like hot butter on a corncob.
" C'mon man... he's gaining on us I can't afford to get arrested again c'mon Lose HIM ". shouted Clay
" So they tried losing Enos around Styx river but unfortunately they wasn't so lucky Enos finally caught them.
" You boy's is under arrest for attempted Murder y'all is going to be behind bars's for life". assured Enos
Since Enos caught them fair , square they had no choice but to get in the back of Enos's patrol car.
Unfortunately O'l Boss ain't gonna be too happy to see them boy's in jail on account of he hired them".
Meanwhile back at the hospital Bo was burning a hole in the carpet since he was out of his mind with worry.
Jesse complained " Bo would ya sit down fore' you burn a hole in the floor".
" Uncle Jesse I ain't sitting down my mind is going crazy I don't wanna lose him". worried Bo
" Bo all of us is worrying but it ain't gonna help matter's none with ya driving yourself nuts". confessed Jesse
Time is as slow as molasses when you is waiting on word on a loved one in the hospital waiting room.
Finally the door's swung open and out stepped Doc. Appleby and he didn't look very happy.
" Hey Doc. How's my boy doing ?". asked Jesse
" Well Jesse I wish I had better news for ya but the medicine ain't as well as we hoped". explained Doc. Appleby
" Um.. Doc you ain't saying that Luke is a vegetable are ya ?". asked Bo
" No Bo Luke ain't a vegetable but sadly he ain't shown any sign that he's waking up". confessed Doc. Appleby
" So what are you saying Doc is Luke going to be okay or not ?". asked Jesse
" Well... I don't quite know how to tell y'all there is a chance Luke may never wake up". confessed Doc. Appleby
Jesse, Bo, Daisy just stood there frozen in fear silently praying that Luke would prove them wrong.
