"Of course I forgive you. You made a mistake. We all make them. I just didn't want to see you in the hospital again," Bo said, massaging her face gently with his hands.

Hey, Bo, Megan, I'm going to town. Do you two want to come?" Luke asked, coming into the room and changing the subject.

"Sure. Megan, you want to come?" Bo asked, looking at his sister.

"Yeah, but what if we see Mark? We don't know if he's left Hazzard yet," Megan said uncertainly.

"Just stay close to me the whole time. I think you'll be all right," Bo said in a comforting tone.

"I hope you're right, Bo. I don't want to see him again," Megan said in a scared voice.

Bo picked his sister up and put her in the General. The trip to town was quiet. Bo and Luke both knew that Megan was scared that she'd run into Mark. She kept grabbing the dashboard in a death grip and licking her lips.

The sight of the town square never looked so good as Bo stopped in front of Ruebottom's. After helping his sister out they heard a unpleasant voice.

"Hey, Babe!" Mark said, ambling up next to them. Megan shrank slightly as Bo held her against his chest in a protective gesture and he and Luke glared at him.

"What do you want, Mark?" Bo asked, feeling his sister grab thick handfuls of his shirt in her panic.

"I just wanted to see my girl," Mark said, apparently not caring that he was breaking the restraining order that had been placed against him.

"Mark, please. Leave me alone," Megan whimpered like a scared animal.

"What's the matter? You didn't seem to mind seeing me last night and kissing me," Mark said, a smug look on his face.

"Mark, we know what you did to those three other girls. I'd think it'd be best if you left. My cousin doesn't wish to ever see you again," Luke said, stepping over to Megan's other side and wrapping his arm around her shoulders.

Mark cursed viciously under his breath and left. Megan buried her face in Bo's chest, trembling with grief and panic. "Bo, I'm scared. He's not going to stop bothering me," Megan said, her voice shaking.

"Let's just get our shopping done and then I'll go talk to Rosco and Boss. As bad as they are they would never allow a girl to be harassed by a sick pervert," Bo said, hugging her tightly as they went into the store.

At the town Market, Bo, Megan and Luke went about their business once Mark had gone off in another direction. Megan walked in the middle of the two, still dressed like Daisy. Megan had always admired Daisy for her sense of fashion and the way she handled things. She wanted to be just like her.

Daisy had made come Denim cutoff Rhinestone shorts and had given her some cute tops to wear for instance that day, she wore a light green tank top which showed her shoulders a lot and her blonde hair was straight . The Denim shorts showed off her belly button but Megan didn't seem to care. And she wore white sandals.

They went into several stores Bo and Luke liked that sold blue jeans, hats, guns everything they needed. Bo and Luke bought a few things. Megan didn't care for anything much in the shops except look around with Bo and Luke. She did find a few cute t-shirts that she bought though. When they were done shopping, Megan felt hungry and wanted an ice-cream afterwards. They stopped at a sandwich shop that was near an icecream store.

Megan was proud to have her brother Bo and cousin Luke as family. Around Mark, they were very protective of her. Megan believed that they would keep her safe and if she was ever kidnapped again, they would come to her rescue because she was that important. But still, the run in with Mark had frightened her. When he left, he had been angry and cursing which made Megan scared. What if he tried to kidnap her like say when she went to School? That would be the perfect time to get her where Bo and Luke couldn't be around her all the time.

She sat with them at a table outside. Some people who knew the Duke boys stopped by and said hello. They greeted Megan to once they found out who she was. Once they were alone again, Megan asked "I'm nervous about going to School now. What if Mark kidnaps me there?" She was sitting close to both Bo and Luke. they guarded her like watchdogs.

Megan felt tickled that Bo had to pick her up each time he helped her into the General. He was such a Gentleman. It was hard to believe that in his wild and younger days he always got him and Luke into trouble. The trouble didn't stop when they were in their twenties either. Bo always got them into some kind of mess, and Luke got them out of it.

To Megan, Luke always seemed to be the one with a sensible mind. The perfect one to help you out of a crisis. He was there for her when she was sick with the tumor, prayed with her nightly asking God to heal her. When she came to get to know Luke better, he told her about his days being a Marine. Megan had been impressed with that. He showed her a box of metals , old letters, and newspaper clippings. No wonder Luke had always been good at fighting. And giving criminals a run for their Money.

Not that her brother Bo wasn't smart. Luke, Daisy and Uncle Jessie told her that they thought they would never see Bo as a Sheriff. When he came home that evening and told the others he had become Sheriff of Hazzard County, they had been impressed. So far, Bo had been a Sheriff for over 10 years now.

Luke on the other hand, used his Marines training to be successful at being a Fireman. Luke saved Lives everyday. Even though some had died in fires, Luke helped more to live by rescueing them and doing CPR. He even knew how to help someone if they were choking. Luke was your knight in shining armor. Megan just hoped that she would meet someone like Luke. Little did she know, she would today once they walked into Bo's workplace. She would meet his best friend Brian o conner who was a Sheriff also.

Bo, Luke, and Megan walked into the office that he shared with Rosco, Enos, Cletus and Brian. Brian was new and had blond hair and blue eyes. Daisy had once said he looked like Leonardo Dicaprio and had a nice personality.

Brian sat in front of his desk, going over wanted posters, Rosco's dog, flash curled up by his feet. "Hey, Brian," Bo greeted the young man, causing him to look up.

"Bo, you come in on your off day?" Brian asked, a teasing look in his eyes.

"I just wanted to ask Rosco if he could arrest my sister's ex-boyfriend," Bo said.

"He's still bothering her?" Brian said, looking at the small blonde behind Bo. She was looking shyly at him and Brian could have sworn he felt his heart skip and he felt a shortness of breath. She was gorgeous! And judging by the look on her face she was thinking how handsome he was.

"Yes, he is, Brian. I forgot, this is my kid sister, Megan. Megan, this is Brian. He's new to Hazzard," Bo said, introducing the two. Megan's face turned pink as her blue eyes met Brian's.

"Nice to meet you," Megan said shyly, shaking Brian's hand.

Now Brian was someone that Bo trusted. He may have been new to Hazzard, but Bo knew this guy wouldn't try anything with his sister. Bo had already seen what Brian was like on a date. he had taken a girl to dinner and a movie. The girl had said to Bo the next day that Brian was the perfect gentleman. She had even said that when Brian kissed her it was on the forehead or cheek.

"Nice to meet you too. Bo told me he had a sister. I just never thought you were that pretty," Brian said.

"Thank you. Bo's told me about you too," Megan said, blushing to the roots of her hair.

"So, do you think Rosco could help us, Brian?" Bo asked, liking the relationship between his sister and Brian.

"I think so. Rosco's not that bad I would think," Brian said, realizing that Bo was watching him talk sweet to his sister.

"Well, that's good. Now that we have that done, would you like to come over for dinner tonight, Brian? You haven't even met all the family yet. Then all of us can go to the Boar's Nest," Bo suggested. This way his sister could have a date with Brian and have the family chaperone her. Bo just hoped that mark didn't follow them there tonight. He might make it worse for Megan if he saw that she had a new boyfriend.

Megan still felt herself blush even when they left the station. She had felt energy between her and Brian and was it love? Meeting Brian had definately cheered her right up. And she was going to see him again tonight! The whole time she was around him, Megan couldn't keep her eyes off him and he couldn't keep his eyes off her. She wondered what he was thinking of now.

That night Megan helped her mother, and Daisy fix supper. She even told them about her encounter with Brian. "We couldn't keep our off each other and I felt myself blush the whole time". she chopped the vegtables to make a salad. "Do you like him?"" asked Daisy with a smile. Megan "Oh, yes. He's suppose to go with us to the Boar's nest tonight. Oh, I am so nervous!" BOth women laughed. "Megan, I really hope this is the one for you.. If he's friends with Bo and Luke, he must be a good guy". said Mandie preparing barbegue chicken.

WIthin the next hour, the women came into the Dining room and set the food on the table. Megan went to go tell the guys supper was ready and she saw Brian still in his sheriff uniform. Megan's heart pounded and their eyes made contact again. "Hi Brian", she said greeting him.

Bo watched Brian as his face turned red and his eyes lit up as he looked at Megan. Bo had to admit that his sister was beautiful. What guy wouldn't think that? But Bo knew that Brian would treat his sister with the respect that she so obviously deserved and that Mark didn't give her. Any guy who would rape a girl and leave her for dead wasn't a guy that Bo wanted near his little sister.

Bo watched the two of them talk all through the meal and when they got to the Boar's Nest. Brian looked to be as fascinated with her as she was with him. They had even danced together a few times. It was towards the time that they were supposed to go home that Bo noticed someone in the corner. On closer look Bo recognized Mark. He was sitting at a table and watching Megan as she danced with Brian. Bo didn't like the way he was looking, but he wasn't doing anything to make it look like he needed to be arrested. Until Megan kissed Brian's cheek gently.

Megan didn't notice Mark in the Boar's nest mainly because she was too wrapped up in Brian. He made her laugh and smile more

than Mark ever did. Her and Brian talked and got to know each other while they danced.

They had a good bit in common as far as music went and sports. Brian was a little bit older than Megan was, but she didn't care he was only 20.

Her and Brian danced some more and laughed enjoying one another's company. That night Megan sat with him on the porch at

Uncle Jessi's house. They talked some more.

Megan thought Brian was so handsome and definately wanted to see him again. She wondered if he wanted to see her again.

"I had a great time tonight", she said "You got my mind off Mark". she said meaning her ex.

Meanwhile, Mark was steaming. Megan was cheating on him! It was all Bo Duke's fault. Ever since Megan introduced him to

Bo, Bo never liked him. And now he was trying to set Megan up with some sleezy sheriff!

Seething, Mark decided Megan had to pay. So did Bo and Luke Duke. He would get rid of Megan somehow and make Bo, Brian and Luke

pay for it. After all, they would do anything to save and protect their precious Megan. Mark scowled and left the BOar's nest and

went home. He had been angry and clenching his fists all night.
