Later in the day, the rain continued to come down hard and the wind started to pick up. When a tornado watch came across the radio, Cooter decided to wake Bo; just in case they had go to the cellar. Bo woke up when Cooter shook his leg. Bo opened his eyes and just starred at Cooter, before he closed them once again.
"Bo?"
"Leave me sleep." Bo grabbed the pillow, that was on the floor and fell back asleep. Cooter debated on trying to wake him. He decided to leave him be and went back to the kitchen.
"Where's Bo?" Asked Dean. "Didn't you wake him?"
"I think it'd be best to leave him sleep."
"But the storm. Shouldn't we get in the cellar?" Sam asked.
"Trust me on this. It'd be better if we let him sleep this time."
"This time?" Sam asked.
"The last time we had a storm this bad, Bo had gotten hurt earlier in the day. The storm ended up taking the house and Bo ended up at Doc's. Sever concussion and not getting the sleep he needed, made it worse. So we're going to let him sleep." Cooter explained.
"I don't think we really need to go down in the cellar anyway." Luke added as he looked out the window. The farm yard was getting flood and there were several trees down. Just as he said that, the cb came to life.
"Sheriff Rosco to the Duke boys, come back."
"This is Luke. What'cha need?"
"Is Bo available?"
"No." Rosco was afraid of that.
"I hate to tell you this. There's a fire at the saw mill. I'm on my way to your farm to get the fire rig. Mr Johnson, Cletus and others are already there with the second rig."
"10-4. I'll get her started for ya." Cooter heard what was said. Luke grabbed the keys to the fire rig and opened the door but didn't step outside. Cooter walked up to Luke.
"Lukas, what's wrong?"
"I can't leave, Bo told me to stay in the house."
"I'll help ya, Luke." Luke only nodded. Cooter took the keys from Luke and headed to the barn. Luke looked out the window and saw Cooter go into the barn. Several minutes later, Rosco pulled into the drive. He got out of the car, said something to Cooter and Cooter left with the rig. Rosco then ran to the house.
"Luke, we need help. Are the brothers still here?"
"Yeah, they are. I can't leave the house to help you."
"Bo sleeping?"
"Cooter tried to wake him, didn't work." Rosco walked past Luke and went to the living room. He saw Bo sound asleep laying on his side.
"Hey Bo?" Rosco shook Bo's shoulder. It took several attempts to wake him.
"I told you to let me sleep."
"Bo, it me Rosco." Bo rolled onto his back and looked at Rosco.
"What's wrong?" Bo sat up. "Is Luke okay?"
"Luke's fine. Listen, there's a fire at the Saw Mill. Cooter took the rig but I might need more help." Bo nodded and grabbed his boots.
"Bo, if your not feeling well. Just tell Luke that he can leave the house."
"I'm fine." Rosco shook his head in disbelief.
"You are as stubborn as that damn goat!" Bo grinned. As he stood up, he got dizzy and fell forward. Rosco caught Bo by the waist and gently guided him to sit back onto the couch.
"Bo, you need to rest. You will do Luke no good when you pass out."
"I guess you're right." Bo said as he held his head in his hands. "Tell Luke to come over here."
"Luke." Rosco waved him over.
"Luke, you may leave the house but stay in Rosco's sight. Listen to him as you would me."
"I will." Rosco left with Luke and the brothers. The rain had partly contained the fire, when they arrived 10 minutes later. It didn't take long for the fire to be put out.
"Looks like it only took some trees." Rosco said to no one in particular. "We'll have to take them down when the rain clears out." Rosco looked around and added. "We should have someone stay here overnight, to make sure the fire doesn't start up again."
"We can do that." Dean replied. Sam looked over towards Luke; who was standing silent, looking off into the distance.
"Luke?" Sam asked as he approached him. Luke didn't respond to Sam, he just stood there silent.
"I think he's somewhere else right now." Rosco told Sam. Rosco stood next to Luke and whispered to him. "Lukas, you're in Hazzard. What you are seeing is not real." Several minutes later, Luke 'woke up' and looked around. "Luke, let's get you home, alright?" Luke flinched away from Rosco. "Luke, you have to stay by me." Luke took a step back but found that he couldn't walk away from Rosco. "Luke, it's alright. I'll take you to Bo, he can help you." When Luke just stood there silent, Rosco held out his hand. "Come on." Luke let Rosco guide him back to the car. Cooter opened the passenger's side door for Luke.
"Is he alright?" Sam asked Rosco.
"I have to get him home. You three going to be okay staying here for a bit?"
"We're fine. Just go." Rosco and Luke made their way back to the farm. As soon as they pulled up, Bo was waiting by the door, then made his way to the car.
"Luke, you alright?" Bo asked as he opened the door for Luke.
"Not sure. I was in a different place and time." Bo nodded and took Luke's hand.
"Come on." The three of them made their way inside the house and went upstairs. Bo sat on the bed and he motioned for Luke to sit next to him. "Rosco, thank you for your help but could you leave us for a moment?"
"I'll be downstairs if you need me." When Rosco closed the door, Bo looked at Luke and replied. "You want to forget?"
"Can you stop the flashbacks?"
"I can erase certain memories, that cause the flashbacks."
"Why didn't you do that before?"
"I don't know. I guess I didn't want to take more of your memories from you."
"Fair enough. How does this work?"
"Not sure but I got an idea." Bo knelt down in front of Luke and placed his hands onto the side of Luke's head. Bo closed his eyes and several minutes later, Luke fell to his side. Bo lifted Luke's legs onto the bed and went downstairs to get Rosco.
"Hey, Rosco?"
"Bo, you two alright?"
"He wanted me to make him forget, so I did. I need your help with him."
"Anything, Hoss." Rosco followed Bo back to the bedroom and saw Luke laying on the bed.
"He's sleeping." Rosco took Luke's boots off and turned to ask Bo. "You want me to take his pants off?"
"Yeah." Rosco got Luke situated in the bed.
"You sleeping next to him?"
"I think I should." Bo removed his boots and pants and laid down next to Luke.
"Rest for as long as you want. I'll get some help with the animals, so you don't have to deal with that."
"Thanks Rosco."
"Not a problem." Rosco made his way back downstairs, while Bo quickly fell back to sleep. Several hours later, Sam, Dean and Cooter made their way back to the Duke Farm. They walked into the kitchen and saw Rosco sleeping on the couch. Sam turned to Dean.
"We should just go onto bed."
"Yeah, Sammy." They quietly made their way to the two upstairs bedrooms, as Cooter gently woke Rosco up.
"Cooter, everything alright?"
"Everything is fine. If you want to head on home, I'll watch over them tonight."
"You sure?"
"It's not a problem." Rosco sat for a moment to wake up more.
"I best get on home to take Flash out. Night Cooter."
"Night Rosco. And thanks for helping him." Rosco nodded and made his way to the door, as Cooter went upstairs to check on the boys. He noticed that Bo opened his eyes, when he walked into the room.
"Everything alright?" Bo asked him.
"Was just going to ask you the same."
"We will be."
"I'll let you sleep." Before Cooter left, Bo added. "I sold one of the farm houses and 10 acres to Sam and Dean. The key is on the coffee table and tell Dean, that I'll go to the bank on Monday and get the deed in their names. The deal is still on, so they don't have to worry about that."
The next morning, Cooter woke up early and took care of the animals, while Bo and Luke slept. The brothers came downstairs, as Cooter was getting ready to make breakfast. Dean looked out the window and saw that it was still overcast.
"We'll get more storms later today." Cooter told Dean.
"When do you think we can go to our farm house?"
"I don't see why I can't take you there after breakfast. Bo gave me the key last night, said on Monday he'll go to the bank and get the dead in your names." Cooter set the breakfast items onto the table. "He also told me to tell you not to worry, the deal is still on."
"Wasn't worried about the deal. Are they going to be alright? I mean, I know Luke has had a hard time of things. And hell, Bo always seems to get hurt."
"I guess dying never changed that fact." Cooter laughed a bit at his remark. "Bo will be fine, he always is. Luke is getting better with time."
"What about last night?"
"What do ya mean, Dean?"
"You know."
"Reckon I do." Cooter sighed, then rubbed his hand threw his hair. "He had another flashback, he'll be fine now."
"Flashback?" Sam asked.
"Luke was a Marine in the Vietnam war, a medic. He saw terrible things over there. His memory is coming back but so is his memory of the war." Cooter placed the bacon into the frying pan. "He'll be fine, Bo knows how to talk him through the flashbacks." After Cooter flipped the bacon, he checked the hash browns. "You guys want eggs?"
"Sure." Sam replied as Dean nodded. Cooter finished making breakfast and they ate in silence. After Cooter cleaned up the kitchen, he grabbed the key to the other farm house.
"You two ready to go?"
"Yeah." Dean replied.
"Follow me." It was raining when they made their way to their new home. They pulled up to the house and Cooter walked up to the brothers.
"Well, here it is." They walked inside and looked around. "So, what do you think?"
"I like it." Dean said with a smile.
"Not too bad. I think I'll like our new home." Sam replied as he looked around.
"I called the electric company and the power is on. I'll show you where the pump for the well is." Cooter showed them around and about a half hour later told them. "I best be on my way. Shouldn't leave them alone for too long."
"Thanks, Cooter."
"Oh, Cooter. Where would we get some goats and chickens?" Dean asked.
"Bo will get you set up with that."
"Sounds good. See ya later." Cooter made his way back to the Duke farm and started to clean up the yard. Several hours later, Rosco drove up.
"Hey, Cooter." Cooter walked up to Rosco when he got out of the patrol car. "How's the boys?"
"Still sleeping. Rough night for both of them."
"What do you mean?"
"You know Luke had a flashback, so Bo made him forget." Cooter looked around the yard, to make sure that they were still alone. "Luke ended up passing out as a result. Bo still feels sick from hitting the windshield, so he's still out of it."
"You need any help with the animals?"
"That would be great. I'll even feed ya." They tended to the animals, then made their way into the house to have dinner. After dinner, Rosco went home and Cooter made his way to bed.
