Hey guys so I guess Saturday didn't make the update cut so since we don't have school tomorrow since its labor day, which also reminds me, I got an idea for a story which I've named Labor Day White and it's a story about the whole " you're not supposed to wear white after labor day" thing. Basically the gist is Boss is always wearing white but when some stuff happens Boss never wears white the day after labor day. While we're on the subject, at the end of this story I'm going to pick a few of my favorite DOH ideas that I've gotten while writing this and I'm going to give you guys a summary of each and you can review about which you like best. The one with the most reviews about it will be written first so you can get a first hand choice of which I write next.

Ch.8 Luke's Plan, Bo's action

Rosco jumped up from his desk as a loud BOOM, echoed through the empty courthouse.

" Rosco!" Boss yelled as he ran out of his office.

" What was that noise Boss? I know it was lunch time but you didn't have to-"

" Rosco that wasn't me!" Boss growled," Do you smell smoke?" he sniffed.

" Now that you mention it I do." Rosco replied sheepishly.

" Well do just stand there pea-brain, lets go check it out." Boss ushered his brother-in-law towards the door.

Bo ran to the now glowing courthouse and stopped when he saw the flames blazing up the side of what he assumed was probably the record room.

" L-Luke we gotta stop that fire. If it gets to the records Boss could cheat everybody out of their land including us!" he pointed panicked at the flames.

Luke nodded agreeingly and headed around the other side of the building when he bumped into something big and white sending him tumbling to the ground.

" Rosco! Its them Dukes!" the white ball shouted flailing about like a turtle stuck on its back.

Luke rolled his eyes, of course the one person he bumps into at a time like this is Boss, jumping back on his feet Luke grabbed Rosco's shoulder," Where's the fire extinguisher?"

" On the wall." Rosco said dumbfounded, pointing behind him with his thumb.

" Thanks." Luke said quickly running to the other side of the courthouse and grabbing the extinguisher off the wall beside Rosco's desk and heading around the office to the records room.

The fire was working up the windows, they would shatter under the heat within a few more minutes. Luke quickly shoved the file cabinets to the corner of the room then headed back outside.

Bo didn't know what to do about the flames growing quicker up the side of the courthouse. He couldn't use his shirt, it probably had some trace of gasoline on it somewhere. He didn't have time to run back to Cooters and he had no idea where Luke had went.

" Holy smokes!" Rosco gasped looking at the flames.

Bo spun around looking at who had said it," Boss, Rosco. Who did y'all rip off now that would make em mad enough to try to blow y'all up!"

" Don't try foolin us, we know it was you that made them there flames." Rosco pointed his finger accusingly.

" Boss let me see your jacket." Bo started turning Boss around in a small half circle in the process of getting his jacket.

" Wha—at dat-." Boss couldn't finish his words out of confusion, being mad, or maybe it was just past lunch time.

Bo swatted at the flames the best as he could with Bosses white jacket- well, it was white…..

Bo started to cough but continued swatting at the flames.

The window started to crack and Bo stepped back quickly, holding his hand over his mouth as he coughed.

The window shattered and several pieces flew out, one hitting Bo in the left shoulder, and another hit Bosses replica pocket watch chain, cutting it straight through.

Bo fell side ways as the window shattered and an intense pain shot through the side of his left shoulder. He landed on the grass gasping for air as Luke rounded the corner.

Luke glanced at Boss who was starring sadly down at his pocket watch chain which had apparently been cut by something, then saw Bo lying on his side. He was holding his left shoulder and fumbling with his pocket. He ran over to his cousin who had finally managed to get his inhaler out of his pocket, and helped him hold it to his mouth.

" Are you ok?" Luke asked worried.

Bo took a couple of deep breaths of his inhaler and pushed it away breathlessly nodding confirming he was ok.

Luke glanced up as he heard sirens coming from what sounded like the road on other side of the courthouse.

" The fire departments comin, Cooter must've called em. What happened to your arm?" Luke asked glancing at the shoulder his cousin was holding. Blood lined the top of Bo's right hand as it was covering his cut.

" A shard flew out when the window shattered, is Boss and Rosco ok? They mighta been hit too." Bo asked slowly gaining his breath back.

Luke glanced back at Boss and Rosco, leave it to Bo to worry about them while he was hurt, " Y'all ok up there?" he asked the bumbling pair.

" Well why don't you ask if he's ok?"

" Why don't you?"

" Because I'm the one that employs you and hands you a pay check at the end of the month.

" But Boss."

" Rosco!"

" Boss! You ok?" Luke raised his eye brows anxiously at the whispering pair.

" Uh yeah is umm Bo alright?" Boss replied awkwardly.

" Yeah I'm fine." Bo winced as he sat up.

" Let me see your shoulder." Luke said shooing Bo's hand away.

Bo reluctantly moved his hand, he could already tell he was probably going to have to have stiches.

Luke pulled Bo's shirt to get it to unstick from being wet with blood. Bo's blue T-shirt sleeve was just above the cut , the sleeve would need to be rolled up or cut off one.

The fire trucks came with hoses shooting water at unsuspecting flames with a fire hydrant supplying plenty of water power

Luke was satisfied with the flames dispersing and his cousin ok," Here take this off but don't move your arm too much." He said after inspecting the wound a little through the sleeve.

Bo did as he was told and took his cream shirt off and laid it to the side as Luke rolled up the blue sleeve.

Blood was still slowly pouring from it when Luke touched around it trying to see if he could see something he wasn't supposed to see out of a normal cut.

Luke pulled a blue hanky out of his pocket and wrapped it around his cut once then looped one side under then tied it twice," Phew, for a minute there I thought it wouldn't reach around my muscular arm." Bo grinned.

Luke shot him an ' as if ' look along with a grin before helping Bo up off the ground.

By the time Bo had gotten though Luke's medical kick most of the flames were out and Boss was looking for the remainder of his jacket.

Bo grinned and walked over to large pile of bricks that had been knocked out during the explosion. After kicking through some of it he found some ashy fabric and grinned as he strided over to Boss," Here you go boss, thanks for letting me use it." He gave a flashy grin.

Boss gaped at the remainder of his jacket- if you could even call it that anymore.

" If only Cooter coulda seen the look on his face." Bo grinned as he faced Luke.

Luke smiled back but realization hit him," Cooter!" he gasped.

Bo and Luke exchanged a glance before racing off in the direction of Cooters garage.

" Cooter!" Bo yelled," I don't see him." Bo turned to his cousin.

Luke glanced at Bo before running into the garage," Cooter!"

Dodging a car's front bumper Luke found what he was looking for, Cooter was sprawled out on the floor.

" Cooter!" Bo crouched beside him and shook his face," Cooter!"

Luke grabbed a nearby water bottle and dumped it on Cooters face," Cooter!" he yelled.

Cooter cracked his eyes," Ohhhhh… daddy I didn't mean to wreck the truck I swear….." he rubbed his head.

Bo laughed relieved his friend was back," Cooter, you haven't touched your daddy's steering wheel in 20 years."

Luke laughed," Yeah Cooter, your daddy only lets you stare at his truck."

Cooter stood up or was dragged up by Bo and Luke," Well my head still hurts from that day."

" Cooter I have a sinking feeling that isn't why your heads hurtin." Bo leaned on Cooters shoulder.

" I was hopin you wouldn't tell me that….." Cooter sighed," The parts arrived shortly after y'all ran over to the courthouse and I called the fire department. The guy left the parts on my desk and as I was lookin though them parts I gotta load dropped on me." Cooter thought about it for a minute," Or maybe I was the load that dropped…." Bo laughed.

" Well I'm glad Cooters ok but now them crooks got them parts." Luke sighed.

" Oh shoot I'm sorry guys." Cooter said.

" Its ok Cooter, it weren't your fault." Bo patted Cooter on the shoulder," So what do we do now?"

" Well we going to have to go get them parts back….. Lets go."

Luke waved bye to Cooter as Bo sped walked to catch up with him," Where are we going?"

Luke walked over to where the fire truck was slowly pulling away. He squatted down and pushed through some of the rubble.

" What are we looking for?" Bo asked aware he was missing an important part on Luke's run away brain train.

" Well this was obviously set off purposely, so where are the explosives?" he rummaged around some more before coming across a red line and trigger panel," And my suspicions are confirmed." Luke twirled the wire around in a circle.

" Ok Detective Duke now what?" Bo asked.

" We go to their hideout and see what we can find." Luke threw the wire down and headed back to the garage where the General sat waiting.

Bo assumed his regular driving position and Luke his pondering shot gun position.

" What about Uncle Jesse and Daisy?" Bo asked after a few minutes of driving.

" Daisy is working again today and Uncle Jesse is busy on the farm, we'll only call them if we need them." Luke replied," I think we have enough rope and stuff in the trunk to get by."

" Get by with what?"

" Getting down the hill on the backside of their hideout."

Bo knotted the rope around the Generals front bumper," That should do it. So explain to me one more time why I have to stick around up here?"

" You inhaled a lot of smoke today, you would have had a hard enough time fighting or running if you had to without that extra stress on your lungs, this way you're going to stand guard safely out of the way up here." Luke kindly explained for at least the 4th time in the 5 minutes they had been here.

" Luke I will be just fine. I've got the inhaler if I need it –"

" Bo." Luke glared at him," I'm still older and I still get to call the shots."

" Oh come on Luke that only counted in 3rd grade!" Bo whined.

" Well it counts now too." Luke said finalizing his order and slipping down the rope to the hide out below.

Bo didn't think it was fair. He wanted to go and help out his cousin, Luke was always there when he needed it, so why couldn't he be there for Luke now? Bo sighed and leaned against Generals hood, fiddling with the twig he had in his mouth.

Impatience got the better of him, causing him to throw his twig down and head down the hill. He glanced around the corner of the hideout, he should be with Luke right now instead of being here an hiding out like a coward waiting for something to happen.

Bo heard a stick snap behind him, spinning around he felt something hard smack against the side of his face sending him tumbling him down into the dirt.

Two hands wrapped around his neck as he struggled against them. The attack had caught him off guard and now he was paying the consequences.

Luke walked around the backside of the hideout and peeked through a broken window. Lulu's Rolls was still there except this time the hood was up and some guy was bent over it putting parts on and such.

He stepped back from the window and looked around for a way to get into the upper loft of the old run down saw mill.

He trailed around the other side, being sure to duck windows, and came around the right side. He could get up there easily If he could find some rope. He would need the rope tied to General to get back up the hill as quickly and easily as possible.

Walking back up the hill with the help of the rope he glanced around. No sign of Bo. Anywhere.

Luke cut the rope from General and practically slid back down the hill on his hands and feet.

Bo struggled with the hands that were wrapped contently around his neck. He kicked the guy in the stomach and hard as he could from his current position and sent him rolling over his head. Jumping to his feet Bo got into a fighting stance with both hands raised up in front of his face.

The guy stumbled back to his feet and charged at Bo full force knocking him back. Bo made a mental note that next time he prayed to thanks god he didn't fall just then, and threw a punch at the guys face.

The guy dodged Bo's fist and grabbed his hand and twisted it behind his back, pushing Bo to the ground.

"Owww." Bo breathed.

" You Dukes cause a lot of problems round here don't ya?" the guy mused angrily.

Luke stopped when he saw his cousin fighting, hadn't he warned him not to fight? Luke ran at the guy and managed to hit him off Bo.

The guy tried punching Luke which he swiftly dodged and hit the guy on the back of his head sending him to the ground with a healthy sounding thud.

Bo starred in shock," You didn't…."

" He's not dead." Luke finished.

Luke grabbed Bo's hand and pulled him up and they rounded the building together.

Bo couldn't help but smile this was how it should be. They had each others backs now.

Ahhhh ok it took me 2 FRECKIN WEEKS! To get this very little chapter typed. Man 8th grade sucks majorly. Ok its like 12 here scratch that 7 till 1 and I have construction work to do tomorrow. Off to bed….. even though I'm already in my bed : )

P.s GarretDuke01 if you reading this just wanted to let you know I love the pen name and the name Garret :) My cousins boyfriend's name is Garrick, sounds kinda similar.

Wandamarie- I'm glad you like this story a lot, I really caught on to the capitalization

AccountingProfessional- I promise theres no chance of me quitting this story. I actually don't think its right to stop any story you've started, its kind of like having a baby then putting it off on other people.

Samcheese1- I'm glad you love this story, I do to :) By the way your pen name wouldn't happen to be the guy Sam from Supernatural would it?

DieHardDuke- Yes I'm very open to criticism because when I first started writing I had no idea how to do something as easy as pressing the enter button to skip a line and I had someone report me and tell me to stop writing and it made me so mad. But I realized how many people had reviewed and didn't care that I didn't know how to do that stuff, all they cared about was the story itself. So people who point out grammar mistakes or something like that as long as they weren't extremely hateful I thank them and move on.

I know the responses we kinda, well way late but I kinda wanted to do it just try to doing it cause I usually don't. If you have a question please ask in your review or PM me, I don't care to reply :)

Ok enough yapping, my side hurts extremely bad so I'm just going to shut up now and do something else

Bo- sleep?

Me- that sounds nice but I have other stories that need to be finished that I haven't worked on in forever.

Bo- so

Me- so I have to work on them too!

Bo- well the time you wasted typing all this crap none cares about you coulda been getting farther in this story.

Me * sigh I know, something about typing long chapters bugs me. I do one every now an then and it turns out ok but theres usually a lot of mistakes in the longer ones.

Bo- hmmmm

Ok seriously I'm shutting up now before my side explodes or something.
