When they got home, Joey and Adam ran up to the TA and waited for Bo to get out.

"Bo-Bo!" Joey said as he raised his arms for Bo to pick him up. As Bo picked him up, Adam hugged Bo's legs. Bo knelt down and hugged Adam.

"Hey honey." Joey would not let loose of Bo, so Bo carried him into the house as he held Adam's hand.

"Hey, ma." Bo said as he walked into the kitchen and saw Martha setting the table.

"Hi, hon." She smiled as she gave Bo a hug. "Good timing, dinner is almost done." She looked at the younger boys and told them. "Boys, go wash up now." When they wouldn't let go of Bo, she knew she couldn't ask Bo in private.

"Bo, are you alright?" Bo shrugged his shoulders, indiating that he didn't know. "I didn't expect you back so soon. Luke didn't tell me he was picking you up."

"There may have been alittle incident."

"How little, Bo?"

"I may have hit someone." Martha shook her head. "I didn't mean to, I really didn't. I was walking away from him." Bo leaned forward to whisper in her ear. "And I paniced when he grabbed my wrist."

"I don't understand."

Bo looked at Luke. "Lukas, can you help them wash up?"

"Sure. Come on boys. Bo needs to talk to ma." When Joey didn't let go of Bo, Bo told him. "If you go with Lukas, I'll color with you tonight. Would you like that?" Joey smiled and nodded.

"Will you color with me, too?" Adam asked.

"Of course." They both went to the bathroom with Luke. Bo turned towards Martha and replied. "Tom and I were looking for a guy in our unit that went AWOL. On our way back, we got captured." Martha was not expecting that repsonce. "Oh, Bo!" When Bo saw the tears in her eyes, he gently placed his hand on the side of Martha's face.

"It's okay, ma." He took her hand and lead her to the table so they could sit down. "They were out scrounging around for supplies so they jumped us instead of shooting. They caught us off guard, never saw them coming. Tom got knocked out. They held me down by my wrists and grabbed my weapons then tied my wrists behind my back. We walked several yards and they pushed us into a shallow pit. Tom woke up several hours later and we both got out and started to walk back to base. When we didn't come back in the time alotted, a couple guys went out to look for us. I carried Tom on my back for a couple hours before we were found."

"Why didn't you...never mind. I think I know why you didn't tell us. Does Luke know?"

"Found out when I was at Doc's." Martha nodded and patted Bo's hand.

"That's why you don't like it when someone grabs your wrists. Now it makes sence." Martha nodded. "I best get dinner ready."

"Let me help." Martha nodded and Bo helped her finish dinner. They all sat down and enjoyed dinner. After dinner as promised, Bo colored with Joey and Adam in the living room. Luke and Vincent helped Martha with the younger children after the night chores were done.
