The next day Luke was awaken by someone shaking his shoulder.
"Luke, wake up." Yawning, Luke opened his eyes and rubbed the sleep from them. It took him a minute to figure out who it was that had awakened him.
"Hey there Bo, how long have you been up?"
"For about an hour." Luke could tell that Bo seemed more energetic and more alert then he had been the past few days.
"Why didn't you wake me up when you got up?"
"I figured I'd let you sleep in for a little while. I could tell that you were pretty tired yesterday."
"Well I guess we know each other a little to well then." Luke said with a laugh.
"Yeah, I guess we do," Bo agreed. "Guess what."
"What?"
"The doctor said that I could go home later today. He said that I'll just need to rest for a couple of weeks and not do any extreme work for a couple of months."
"That's great Bo, guess I'll still have to do yer chores, huh?" Luke said with a chuckle.
"Yeah, I guess so." Bo said. The smile that had been on Bo's face suddenly disappeared and Luke knew that he was thinking about something.
"What's on yer mind?" Luke asked.
"Oh I was just thinking about something."
"I could tell, but what were you thinking about?"
"I just remembered that we don't have a plan."
"A plan for what?"
"To beat the master werewolf."
"Oh yeah. Say wait a minute, isn't silver a werewolf's weakness?"
"Yeah, but where are we gonna get pure silver?"
"I think we could spare a few trophies and some silverware at the farm." Luke said in the same tone that Bo knew meant trouble.
Later that day, Bo was finally released from the hospital under strict bed rest orders.
"How are we gonna get home?" Bo asked as he leaned on Luke's shoulder for support.
"Hmm, that's a good question. I guess we could call Uncle Jesse, and he could come get us." Luke said.
"Yeah, we could do that." Bo said as Luke helped him sit down in one of the chairs in the hospital lobby.
"I'll go give him a call real fast. You just take it easy."
"Alright." Bo said as he adjusted himself in the chair until he was sitting comfortably. Once Luke was sure Bo was all set, he made his way over to the front desk.
"Excuse me, ma'am?"
"What can I do for you?" The receptionist asked.
"I was wondering if I could use yer phone. I need to call my uncle to come get me and my cousin."
"Yeah, here you go." The receptionist said as she handed Luke the phone.
"Much obliged." Luke said as he dialed the number to the farm. After the third ring, Jesse picked up the phone.
"Duke farm, Jesse Duke speaking." Came the reply from the other end.
"Hey Uncle Jesse, its Luke."
"Luke, is everything alright?" Jesse asked concernedly.
"Yeah everything's fine. We just need a ride home." Luke said.
"Alright…wait, did you say we, as in you and someone else?"
"Yeah, me and Bo, he got released today and is under strict rules."
"That's great he's coming home, but what kind of rules do you mean?"
"I mean lots of bed rest and no working for awhile."
"Alright, we can take care of that part, I'll come over as soon as I can to get you boys."
"Alright, we'll be waiting outside for you then."
"Alright, I'll see ya both in a little while then."
"Okay, bye Uncle Jesse."
"Bye Luke." Luke walked back over to where Bo was watching something on the TV that was hanging on the wall in the lobby.
"Alright, Uncle Jesse said he'd be here as soon as he can to get us. I told him we'd be waiting outside for him."
"Okay, I think going outside would be nice, especially since I've been cooped up in here the past few days." Bo said as Luke helped him. Once Bo was ready, him and Luke made their way outside. Luke spotted a bench not to far from the door that was in the sun.
"How about we sit over there." Luke said pointing to the bench. Bo looked at it for a minute before answering.
"Alright, that looks like a good spot to wait." Bo said as him and Luke walked over to the bench. Once they were in front of the bench, Luke helped Bo sit down before sitting down himself.
"Sure is a nice day, ain't it?" Luke asked as he took a deep breath of fresh air.
"Yeah, I just wish I could say the same about the days to come."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean that as soon as I'm better, we're gonna have one heck of a fight on our hands."
"Yeah, you got a point there, but let's worry about that when that day comes. We'll make a plan up in the meantime to beat that big bad werewolf. Right now all you should worry about is getting better, cause worrying about the fight to come won't help you any." Luke said as he patted Bo on the back.
"Yeah, I guess yer right."
"Ain't I always?"
"Um, well there was one time when you…"
"I get it. I was wrong once." Luke said interrupting Bo.
"It ain't nice to interrupt someone when they're talking." Bo said in the same manner that he had seen Rosco use a few times when him and Luke had been in the slammer for some false charge of Boss Hogg's.
"What are you? My nanny?"
"Nope, I'm just yer cousin."
"You got a point there. 'Sides if you was a nanny, you'd be fired." Luke said teasingly.
"Cute. Hey, ain't that Uncle Jesse's pickup?" Bo said pointing to the old white pickup truck that was slowly making it's way towards Bo and Luke.
"Yeah, I think it is. He got here fast."
"Yeah, he must've sped the whole way here."
"Yeah, oh well I'm just glad to be getting to go home."
"Me too. I hate staying in the hospital. The beds are so uncomfortable."
"I can agree with ya there cousin." Luke said as the white truck stopped in front of the cousins. The friendly familiar face of Jesse Duke looked through the window.
"You boys need a lift?" He asked smiling.
"Yes sir." The boys said in unison. Luke helped Bo stand up and walk around to the passenger's side of the pickup. After Bo was settled in the truck, Luke got in. Once Luke was in, Jesse put the truck in gear and started towards the farm.
