That night Luke stayed up and waited for Bo to come home. Surprisingly, Bo didn't come home till about two in the morning. Bo was so tired that he didn't even realize that Luke was still awake. When Bo walked into the bedroom that he shared with Luke he plopped down on his bed and fell asleep without taking off his shirt or his boots. Luke sighed sadly when he looked at Bo's sleeping form. He got out of his bed and took Bo's boots and shirt off, being very careful not to wake him up. Then he pulled the blankets up over Bo. He leaned over and kissed the top of Bo's head just like he used to when they were younger. Then he went to his own bed and fell asleep.

Bo woke up again around 4:30. He only had about two and a half hours of sleep and he had to get up to do his chores. He slowly dragged himself out of bed and got dressed and went outside. He did his chores a little faster than he did the past few days. The second he was finished with his chores he jumped into the General and headed to Thomas's farm.

On his way there he was hoping that he didn't mess up today. When he messed up yesterday Thomas got so mad that Bo actually thought that he was going to hit him. He accidentally cut a board too short and when he told Thomas about it he blew up at him.

"Thomas, I accidentally cut a board too short," Bo said. "I was wondering if I could just cut another chunk of wood."

Thomas sighed. "Bo, can't you do anything right? I don't have the money to get more wood! You should've gotten it right the first time!"

Bo was scared and he stepped back a little bit. Thomas picked up the rake that was on the ground and pointed it at Bo. Thomas's face was beat red and he gripped the rake so hard that his knuckles started to turn white.

"Thomas, I just measured wrong," Bo said stepping back a little further.

"You can't do anything right!" Thomas shouted.

"Thomas, I'm sorry," Bo said.

"Yeah, you're gonna be more sorry!" Thomas yelled. "You're gonna finish building that shed today, and I don't care how long it takes you! You ain't leaving until it is done! Now get back to work!"

Bo couldn't shake that out of his head. He was at Thomas's farm till about 1:30 in the morning. He finished the shed around six o'clock that night but Thomas made him stay longer to do some more work. He had to paint his barn, rake the yard, and some other stuff. Bo was so wiped out by the time he got home. Even though he messed up yesterday Thomas still paid him for the work that he did. He gave Bo the $15 for the first day and then he gave him $85 for the work that he did yesterday. So Bo had a total of $100. It was a good start and he had a feeling that it was going to cost at least $500 to fix the barn. He had a good chunk and he was hoping that it wouldn't take him long to raise the rest.

Meanwhile, back at the farm, Luke was just waking up and he was about to go crazy. He decided to get up a little early so he could catch Bo and try to talk to him but he was already gone. He was getting really frustrated and he had to talk to Bo to find out what was going on. He was worried about his cousin. From what he heard on the CB yesterday, he had a feeling that Boss knew something about this.

After he finished his chores he took Uncle Jesse's pickup into town and was going to talk to Boss and Rosco about this. He knew that Boss had something to do with this because, otherwise, Bo wouldn't have called him on the CB. Somehow Boss knows this Thomas guy but Luke didn't know how and that is what he was going to find out. If Boss was involved with this thing then it couldn't be good.

When Luke got to town he parked right in front of the courthouse. He jumped out of the pickup and jogged into the courthouse. When he got inside he saw Enos doing some paperwork and Boss and Rosco were arguing about something.

"Hey, Luke," Enos said.

"Hey, Enos."

"Luke Duke, what do you want?" Boss asked.

Luke sighed. "Boss, where's Bo?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Don't play games with me, Boss!" Luke almost shouted. "I heard your short conversation with Bo on the CB yesterday. I know that he's working for some Thomas fella, and I know that you're involved in the somehow. Now what's going on?"

"I ain't got a clue what you're talking about," Boss lied.

"Boss, this ain't funny!" Luke shouted. "Something is going on with my cousin and I wanna know what!"

"Luke, I ain't got no idea what in the world you're talking about!" Boss shouted back. "Now I'm very busy, so get outta here!"

Luke was getting really mad. He knew Boss was lying to him. A jackass would know that Boss was lying. Luke knew Boss knew what was going on. He was going to shake it out of Boss if he had to. Luke was doing everything he could not to punch Boss in the face. Maybe then Boss would tell Luke what was going on.

"Boss, you listen to me and you listen good," Luke growled. "If anything, and I mean anything, happens to Bo and I find out that you're involved, you better run fast."

Luke turned around and walked out of the courthouse and slammed the door shut. Luke was going on a mission. His mission was to find his youngest cousin and find out what's going on. And that's exactly what he was going to do.
