Rosco was driving around Hazzard keeping an eye out for Boss Hogg. Boss Hogg had went out of town saying he had some 'business' to take care of after their encounter with the Dukes. Rosco hadn't seen Boss since then. Rosco was driving down the road when he saw the General Lee coming towards him. Rosco got on the CB to ask Luke if he'd seen hide or hair of Boss.
"This is Sheriff Roscoooo P. Coltrane. Ya got yer ears on Luke Duke? Come back."
'This is Luke Duke go ahead Rosco.'
"I was wonderin' if you've seen my little fat buddy here lately."
'What you mean Boss has gone missin' too?'
"Yes. Why who else has gone missin'?"
'Bo. I have a bad feelin' 'bout this. First Bo disappears and now Boss.'
"Oh piddly. Why should I believe your Duke's lies?"
'Rosco I'm not lying to you. Bo and Boss could be in danger. Look I don't have time to explain right now. I got to find Bo before something happens to him. Rosco, why don't we team up to find Bo and Boss.'
"Why would I want to team up with you Dukes for?"
'You want to find Boss right?'
"Oooohhh, oh alright. I'll help you out this time. But only because of my little fat buddy being missing too."
'Ok Rosco. Listen, meet me at the old Indian caves. I'm heading over there to see if Bo might be there.'
"Alright. I'm gone." With that Rosco did a 360 ( means degree) turn and headed towards the old Indian caves to meet Luke. Meanwhile Luke had just arrived at the caves. He climbed out of the General and cautiously made his way up to the entrance of the caves. Once he got to the entrance of the largest cave, he made his way inside.
Luke looked around for any signs of Bo, but didn't see any. He was just about to turn around and wait by the General for Rosco, when he heard a sound coming from inside the cave. At first he thought it was just the wind that had started blowing a few minutes ago, but then he realized that it wasn't the wind, but someone inside. Luke made his way into the cave, careful to watch his step. He made it about half way to the spot where he and Bo used to stay when they played hooky, hen he heard another sound coming from somewhere up ahead. Luke walked towards the sound and was surprised to find a familiar face. T
here sleeping in between some large boulders was Bo. Luke noticed another figure sitting up against some more large boulders snoring. The person sleeping there was a not so popular short fat man in a white suit that Luke noticed wasn't so white anymore, but more of a brown and crimson color. Luke then knew exactly what it was that had made all that noise. It was Boss Hogg's snoring echoing off the cave walls. Luke couldn't help but laugh at the sight of Boss Hogg sleeping in a cave.
Luke thought that if he lost the suit and hat, and got a loin cloth and club, that he could resemble a cave man. Luke began to wonder why Boss Hogg was even in the cave to begin with and why Bo was there as well. Luke decided to wake Boss up and ask him how he got there. He walked over to the short round man and shook his shoulder to wake him up.
"Boss, Boss wake up." Luke shook his shoulder a little harder and was beginning to get annoyed when Boss didn't wake up and just started to snore louder. Luke gave up shaking his shoulder. He then noticed some water dripping down the walls. Luke got an idea and walked over to where the water was dripping. He cupped his hands and collected some water in his hands. He walked back over to Boss careful not spill the water in his hands, he lifted his hands over the commissioner's head and separated his hands. The water fell on Boss' head and woke him up instantly.
"Wh-what in blazes is going on!" Boss yelled at the unexpected shower. Luke looked at Boss with an amused look on his face. Boss looked up at who was responsible for his rude wake up call.
"Luke Duke! What in blazes are you doing here?" Boss yelled at the dark haired Duke boy standing in front of him.
"That's what I want to know Boss. How'd you get here with Bo? I know you didn't drag him here on yer own." Luke said in a firm but humorous voice.
"As it just so happens, I did bring him in here. I found him on the side of the road and I couldn't get him into my car on my own."
"Well, I didn't see your car out there anywhere."
"Well that's because you didn't look in the right spot. If you would've looked more closely you would've seen my car on the other side of the cave."
"Ok then answer one thing for me. How were you able to get Bo in here from the road but you weren't able to get him in your car?"
"Like I said that cousin of yours weighs a ton, I drug him from the road and in here. It took me awhile but I managed to get him in here. I was so worn out when I got him in here I fell asleep when I sat down to rest. I would've taken him to the hospital, but I couldn't get him in my car. And Rosco knocked out the CB earlier this week so I couldn't call an ambulance." Boss explained. "I'm telling you the truth. What's the matter, don't you trust me?"
"No not really. Let's worry about that later. I got to get Bo to a doctor." Luke said as he walked over to his cousin's sleeping form. Luke bent down and shook Bo's shoulder gently.
"Bo, Bo. C'mon cousin time to get up." Luke said to his cousin in an attempt to wake him up. Luke noticed that Bo's arm was unusually cold. Luke started to become a little worried. He knew it wasn't normal for anyone to be that cold. Luke shook his cousin's shoulder again, but with no luck. All he got in response was a small moan.
"C'mon cousin, you gotta wake up." Luke said in a tone that was mixed with both worry and anger. The anger being at Boss Hogg for not trying to get Bo in his car so that he could get to a doctor.
Bo just moaned a little more and shivered a little. Luke decided to take off his jean jacket that he had been wearing and covered Bo with it in an attempt to keep him warm. Luke turned around to look at Boss, who just stood there with a dumbfounded look on his fat face.
"Boss, can you go get your car? I'm going to take him to the hospital." Luke asked the fat man standing behind him. Boss nodded and walked out of the cave and got his car.
He parked it outside the entrance and honked the horn. Luke bent over and put Bo's right arm around his neck so that he could lift him up. When Luke straightened up Bo let out a small whimper. Luke knew that it was because Bo was probably in pain right now.
"Sorry about that buddy. But I got to get you to a doctor." Luke was surprised when he saw Bo nod his head slowly in response. Luke carefully carried his injured cousin out to the waiting car.
When Boss saw them come out of the cave, he quickly opened the door and moved the seat so that Luke could lay Bo down on the backseat. Luke layed Bo down on the seat and put his jacket back on his cousin so he would be a little warmer then he was before. Luke saw that Bo's yellow over shirt was a dark red on the left side. That sight caused Luke to grow more worried. It was then that it hit him why Bo was so weak and his skin felt unusually cold to the touch.
"Oh God. Boss we got to get him to the hospital and fast." Luke said as he lifted Bo's shirts to reveal a large gash that ran from the right side of his chest down to the middle of his back.
Luke got in the backseat with his cousin. He took his jacket and applied pressure to the large gash to try to keep it from bleeding any more. Boss saw what Luke was so worried about and ran into the driver's seat and took off down the road as fast as the white convertible could go.
"Just hang in there cousin. We'll get you to the hospital." Luke said his voice filled with worry for his younger cousin's life. Bo gave a small cry of pain when Boss hit a pothole in the road.
Luke could tell that Bo's breathing was starting to slow down even more then it was before and started to come in deeper, shallower breaths. Luke knew that they had to get Bo to the hospital and fast.
"Boss you got to step on it. We need to get him there fast he's starting to have trouble breathing."
"I'm going as fast as I can. Don't worry I'll get your cousin to the hospital." Boss said. Luke looked back down at his cousin.
'Just hang in there Bo. We'll get you to the hospital. Just hold on a little longer.' Luke thought to himself. The convertible sped down the road towards Tri-County Emergency. The life of the youngest Duke hanging in the balance.
