Bo stepped out of his and Luke's room to find Callie curled up at the end of the couch, her arms wrapped tightly around her legs, her chin resting on her knees. What really got Bo was the fact that there were tears on her cheeks and she was shaking though he could see she was trying hard to hide it. He walked over and reached out gently pulling her to her feet and into his arms. She stiffened for the slightest moment and then just wrapped her arms around him and hugged him for all she was worth.
"Y'all ready to go?" Daisy asked as she walked into the room. Bo and Callie pulled apart and nodded. "Yeah, let's go." Bo said and headed out to the General. The girls exchanged glances and followed him out the door to the orange stock car. Daisy moved aside and let Callie climb in and slide into the middle beside Bo and then the three headed for the hospital.
Jesse Duke looked up when footsteps announced new arrivals and Bo appeared, followed closely by Callie and Daisy. He got to his feet and went to his younger nephew. "How is he Uncle Jesse?" Bo asked as Jesse hugged him. Jesse looked at the girls where they still stood in the doorway. "We don't know for sure yet. He ain't woke up." He said and met Daisy's gaze from across the room. Daisy gasped and buried her face in Callie's shoulder. Callie's arm went around her friend and she guided the other girl to a chair in the corner of the room.
Jesse watched them for a moment and then turned back to Bo. "The doc is just wonderin' one thing." He said. "What's that?" Bo asked. "Well I told him how you boys were brought into jail by two men saying that you attacked Daisy or Callie at the Boars Nest, but both you an' Luke were out and we couldn't get you awake." He said. Bo's eyes narrowed and he looked over at the two girls in the corner. Daisy's head was resting on Callie's shoulder and Callie was speaking softly to her, her expression gentle and her words soothing.
"Did the girls tell you why they got there so quickly?" Jesse asked him. Bo swung back around and stared at him. "They ain't said anything." He replied. Jesse sighed. "Hughie's back." He said, and watched as Bo's eyes darkened. "Hughie is after us again." He said and looked over at the girls again suddenly worried about their safety. "Don't worry bout the gals Bo. They'll be fine." Jesse tried to calm his angry nephew. Bo sighed and went over to the girls and sat down next to Callie.
Balladeer: Well while the Dukes were sittin there waitin' for word on Luke his condition was getting worse as them two baddies that work for Hughie Hogg are at it again.
Sam looked at Nick as they entered the older Duke boy's hospital room. "You watch the door while I give him this here drug." He said. Nick nodded and watched as Sam gave Luke the sleeping drug and then stared in surprise as Sam lifted Luke up and slung him over his shoulder. "What are you doing?" He asked. Sam grinned. "We're gonna take him out to Hazzard Swamp and hide him there and ain't nobody gonna know." He said. Nick smiled back and they slipped out the window going over to their car.
Bo had just dozed off when he felt Callie move from underneath his arm and get to her feet. "When?" He heard he voice ask sharply. "We just discovered it awhile ago." A woman said. "And you just now thought you oughta let us know?" Daisy yelled and then Bo heard running footsteps and a moment later the General's engine roared to life. He was out of his daze within a matter of seconds and on his feet. "What's going on?" He asked Jesse as his Uncle ran for the doors. "Seems Luke is missing." Jesse called over his shoulder as Bo hurried after him. Where're the girls?" He asked. "Seems someone saw a strange car leave the parking lot and gave the girls a description and they took off after em in the General." Jesse replied and got in his truck as Bo slid in the passenger side.
"Country Rebel to Shepherd! Y'all got your ears on?" Callie's voice came over the Cb as they pulled out of the parking lot. Bo grabbed the Cb. "You got Bo here Rebel. What's your 20?" He asked. "We ain't seen it." She said and then Daisy's voice came over the radio. "I think we oughta head back into town and go see boss an' see if maybe Hughie's let anything else slip." She said. "10-4!" Bo replied and heard a mumbled response from the girls.
Balladeer: This ain't lookin' good folks. I hope Bo an the gals can find ole Luke or the Hughie is gonna win this one. Kinda scares ya don't it?
