"Don't try anything foolish Duke" "What do you want?" "To kill you of course, don't think I didn't find a way into your dreams for nothing? I knew you dreamed things happening and you dreamed death of a lot of people, though the death may not happen the way you dream it" "How do you know that?" "I have my ways, I monitor your conversations… with everybody" Luke tensed, he knew everything; and there wasn't anything Luke could hide, except what was in his brain.
Luke tried to take a step forward, but was stopped, the gun was now jammed into his chest; if Thompson were to pull the trigger, the bullet would kill him instantly. "Look, let her go, I swear I'll do whatever…" Luke was cut off, "Oh come on, how many times have we been through this. You try anything you die, I shoot your cousin here, and your family at the farm dies as well" Gasping, Luke took a step backwards, that dream couldn't be true. Was his uncle really dead?
"What do you want then?" "You dead" "Take your best shot" Luke challenged. "Oh I will, but we want to be sure we get what we want. We need to escape and with your family all tied up; I don't reckon anyone would try anything do you?" Luke tried to make his way near the edge of the bridge, slowly going to any place possible to knock Thompson off; and live himself if Thompson shot him.
Daisy understood what Luke's plan was; she just hoped that he didn't get hurt too badly during the process. "Alright Luke it's time to put your plan into action…" Luke whispered to himself then spoke aloud. "Alright Thompson, you win" Luke walked closer to Thompson if he shot from this distance; the recoil would be hard enough to knock him over the bridge, but enough to kill Luke if it hit him well enough.
"Back up Duke or I shoot you" "Shoot me then, ain't nothing going to change anything." "Don't force me into anything Duke, or you won't be able to save your family" "Try me, if I am dead; not much will change will it?" "Don't push your luck boy" "Oh don't worry you will kill them all anyways once I am gone" "Luke, you are making one hell of a mistake" "Yeah? Try me." Luke was declaring a challenge, and he hoped since Thompson was stubborn, he'd follow right along and try to fight back.
Bo had made it to town and was already on his way back with Cooter, but stopped when a horse ran up beside the tow truck. "Cooter, pull over; that's Judd riding Silver Star" Bo was shocked to see his younger cousin riding Luke's horse instead of driving. Bo hopped out of the passenger side of Cooter's tow truck as Judd slowed down to a halt. "Bo, Luke is in danger! Wait, why are you not with him?" "The General broke down, Luke stayed behind with Daisy and I came to get Cooter. What's going on?"
"Thompson, and Benson broke out of jail last night, Benson is at the farm; he doesn't know I was there, and won't know I ever was. Thompson is looking for you, Daisy and Luke; mainly Luke" Bo was shocked. "Oh no, with the General broke down there ain't no way for them to escape"
Cooter just realized that they hadn't called for help, but had Bo walk to town. "So why didn't you guys call for help on the CB" Both Bo and Judd answered that question instantly. "The CB is out" Judd switch places with me, Cooter I want you and Judd to get Rosco and Enos; I'll ride Silver Star and get to Luke. With free-time he probably fixed the CB, but didn't get a chance to use it." Bo got on Silver Star and rode towards the bridge as fast he could. "Don't worry Luke, I will save you, and Daisy" Bo was determined and nothing would stop that; arriving near the bridge he slowed down to a trot, and looked from behind the tree Daisy was tied too. Whispering Bo got Daisy's attention, "Daisy; try to distract him as he shoots towards Luke." Daisy jumped as she heard Bo's voice but nodded to let him know she understood.
Luke had still been trying to distract Thompson from what was going on surrounding them; challenging him. "Shut up Duke!" Thompson yelled, and then he shot Luke who stood standing right before him. "It'll take more than to take me down Thompson" Luke grimaced as he spoke, pain or not, he wasn't going to let his family die.
Luke tackled Thompson as Bo arrived grabbing Daisy and putting her on Silver Star to lead Benson out to the bridge as well. "Die Duke, die!" Thompson kept firing his gun and Luke kept tackling him; no matter how much it hurt. Another shot ran out, Thompson fell off the bridge and Luke stood standing near the edge.
