Several hours later, the doctor on call walked into Bo's room and saw Luke sleeping on a chair. Luke woke up when Doctor Lewis tapped him on his foot. Luke opened his eyes and looked up at the doctor.
"What are you still doing here? Visiting hours are over, you need to leave."
"Doc Petticord gave me permission to stay with him, just in case he has a nightmare."
"I'm sure he can handle a nightmare. He's 20 not 2."
"But sir."
"You need to leave now or I will have the sheriff remove you." Luke looked over at Bo; who was still sleeping at this point.
"You're making a mistake."
"Leave, now."
"Yes, sir." The doctor watched Luke leave and went to check Bo's chart. Jackie was done with his shift and he was getting into his car when he saw Luke walking towards the road.
"Hey Luke!" Luke turned around and walked up to Jackie. "What's up?"
"Doc told me to leave or he'd call the Sheriff."
"Get in. I'll give ya a ride."
"Thanks."
"Sure man." Several minutes later, Bo was startled awake by the doctor when he checked his pulse. Confused at where he was, he tried to get out of the room. Bo ended up falling as soon as he put his feet onto the floor. In his panic, Bo ended up backing himself into a corner.
"Beauregard, you need to calm down." Bo ignored the doctor as he sat in the corner. He was leaning over, supported by his left hand breathing heavily. The doctor approached him to give him assistance but Bo thought the doctor was someone else. Bo swung his arm around and back handed the doctor, who ended up landing on his butt. Having enough of Bo's behavior, the doctor left the room and came back with a seditive and two assistants. Meanwhile Jane was on the cb with Luke. Jackie had just arrived at the farm when Luke heard the call on Jackie's cb.
"We'll be right there. Don't follow him, leave him be." Luke turned towards Jackie.
"Jackie, I'll take my car. If he's not in his right mind, he won't get into an unfamilar car."
"I'll go with you." They got into Luke's Trans Am and made their way back to the hospital.
Meanwhile at the hospital; the doctor and two assistants quietly approached Bo. As soon as Bo saw the three he tried to get away from them.
"No!" Bo screamed as the two assistants took ahold of his arms and held him down. He struggled against them and ended up getting his arm loose. Bo punched the one on his left and tackled the other, pinning his wrists down. The doctor quickly gave Bo the shot. Bo looked at the doctor, got to his feet and ran to the door. The doctor starred at the door for several seconds before he ran after him. Jane saw Bo run out the front door with the doctor following.
"It's best that you leave him. You will only get hurt." The doctor turned around and approached Jane.
"We can't just leave him. I gave him a seditive."
"Then he won't get far. Sir, let's wait for Luke to get here. He'll know what to do." Several minutes later, Luke walked into the hospital and saw Jane talking to Dr Lewis.
"I told you I should have stayed! I told you!" Luke yelled as he walked up to the doctor.
"Luke, he took off. He was given a seditive." Jane mentioned to Luke.
"Damn it!" Luke turned around and ran out the door. He grabbed a flashlight from his car and ran towards the woods.
"Bo! Bo! Where are you? It's me, Luke!" Luke walked for 5 minutes and found Bo on his stomach laying next to a tree. "Bo?" Luke turned Bo onto his back and saw that he was still awake. Luke gently took ahold of Bo's wrists; so Bo wouldn't hit him by mistake.
"Bo, it's me Luke." Bo looked at Luke confused for a moment.
"Lukas?" Bo looked around and replied. "I want to go home." Luke nodded.
"Let's get you to your feet. I'll take you home."
"May need some help. I'm so tired."
"Doctor gave you a seditive." Luke helped Bo sit up. "Ready?" "Yeah." Luke helped Bo to his feet and they slowly started to make their way back when they saw Jackie walk towards them.
"Jackie, help me with him." Jackie got on the other side of Bo and helped him to Luke's Trans Am.
"Bo, you're going to my clinic." Jackie placed his hand onto Bo's chest to prevent him from moving. "You don't have a choice. I signed you out AMA." Jackie put the seat belt onto Bo; so he wouldn't jump from the moving car. "If you don't go with me, Doctor Lewis is going to put you in the psych ward."
"I won't fight ya. I'll go."
"Let's go, Luke." Jackie walked around and got into the back seat.
"What happened in there?" Luke asked as he got in and started up the TA.
"Got fired."
"Are you serious?"
"Yep."
"I'm sorry, Jackie."
"Don't be Luke. Now I can work at the clinic full time."
"Did I get you fired?" Bo quietly asked.
"I got myself fired Bo. Getting fired over preventing you from getting sent to a psych ward, is nothing compared to the fact that you saved my life more than once." They drove the rest of the way to the clinic in silence. By the time they got to the clinic, Bo had fallen asleep. They somehow got Bo into the clinic and into bed. Jackie put an oxygen mask over Bo's mouth and nose as his father walked into the room.
"Jackie, what in the world is going on?" Doc Petticord quietly demanded.
"Doctor Lewis was going to have him committed to a psych ward. Both you and I know if that happens, he'll have a hell of a time getting out."
"Does he pose a threat to himself or others?"
"No, I think he just had a flashback and freaked out over Doctor Lewis's overreaction."
"I heard you got fired."
"Yeah, I did. Told him he put Bo at risk by not letting Luke stay with him. He didn't cotton to that." Doc looked at Luke and motioned him to go to the hallway.
"What happened?"
"He told me to leave or he'd have Rosco remove me." As Luke and Doc were talking Jackie took out the soft restraints and placed them onto Bo's wrists.
