Chapter 2: Just Peachy
Author's Note: This is kinda where things started getting muddled. As always, please review.
"Look, mister, we don't want no trouble," Luke said, still holding his hands in the air.
"Yeah, we were just headed up to the swimmin' hole, an'…" Bo stammered, never taking his eyes off of the gun.
"What are your names?" the man interrupted.
"My name's Luke Duke, and this here's my cousin, Bo," Luke said.
"Do you live here in Hazzard?"
"Lived here all our lives, why?"
"Have you ever been through this mine?"
"Shoot, mister that mine's been boarded up ever since we can remember. It's illegal to even go near it," Bo said curtly.
"Look, what's this all about, anyway?" Luke asked impatiently.
"That's none of your business! I'm doing the questioning here, got it?" The man snapped. "Now you're gonna have to come with me. Go on, get in there," the man motioned for the boys to walk inside the mine. They did as they were told, walking slowly.
Suddenly, Luke whirled around and attacked the man, slamming him up against the wall of the entrance to the mine, making him drop the gun. Bo was about to go over and help, but someone tapped his shoulder. He turned around, and was socked hard in the jaw by another guy. The force of the blow knocked him to the ground, where he sat dazed. Luke only got one good punch in on the first man before the unmistakeable click of the hammer of a gun made him freeze and lift his hands in the air. Turning to face the man, he saw yet another one walking up, also wielding a handgun. One was aimed at him, the other, aimed at his cousin, who sat on the ground shaking his head and rubbing his jaw. The first man Luke had jumped got up with a grunt, went over and picked his gun up off of the ground.
"That was real stupid," he said, panting heavily. "Try something like that again and you're liable to get shot."
"Look, what exactly do you want from us?" Bo asked, exasperated.
"Just let us go, we don't want no part in anything you're doin' here. We'll just cause more trouble for ya," Luke tried to reason with them.
"You'll just shut up and do as we say, and nobody'll get hurt, understand?" the man said. "Now get up." He grabbed Bo's arm and roughly yanked him to his feet. They led the boys back into the dimly lit mine, made them sit against the wall, and tied their hands behind their backs.
"Well, this is just peachy," Luke muttered sarcastically.
"Don't mention peaches," Bo groaned. "I'm hungry."
Balladeer: Yep, those boys sure are in a bind. Wonder how their gonna get out of this mess.
Okay, well, that is chapter 2. Sorry I took so long; I find it hard to get on the computer between school, work, and band. Suggestions are welcome, (I beg you!) and please review!
