The Stand up

The next morning, Bo, Cooter, and Shea Lee were woken up by Mike yelling in the other.

"Listen Huey, I don't care what you did to that Duke boy, but slapping my sister was crossing the line. Now you better get outta here before I lose my temper!" yelled Mike.

Ol' Huey ran all the way to Chickasaw. Mike walked into the other room.

"You won't have to worry about him any more," said Mike.

"Good. We have to get Luke some help," said Bo.

"Come on I got a car we'll drive him to the hospital," said Mike.

They got Luke into the car and drove him to Tri-County. When they got there, Bo called the farm.

"Duke farm Jesse Duke speaking," said Uncle Jesse.

"Uncle Jesse it's Bo," said Bo.

"Bo where have you been?" exclaimed Uncle Jesse.

"I'll tell you later. Just get down here to Tri-County and hurry. Luke's been shot," said Bo.

Uncle Jesse and Daisy got there in 10 minutes and it usually takes 20.

When Daisy saw Bo and Cooter she ran and hugged them both.

"Oh Bo! Oh Cooter!" she cried.

"Are you all right?" asked Uncle Jesse.

"Yes," said Bo and Cooter.

"What happened?" asked Daisy.

Mike, Shea Lee, Bo, and Cooter explained what happened. Since Mike and Shea Lee did help them, the Dukes didn't press charges. Later a doctor came out and walked over to them.

"How is he?" asked Shea Lee.

"He did lose a lot of blood. But he is going to be fine," said the doctor.

All the Dukes let out a breath.

"But he is still unconscious," said the doctor.

"Is that good or bad?" asked Bo.

"Well the sooner he comes around the better," said the doctor.

"Can we see him?" asked Daisy.

"Yes. Follow me," said the doctor.

The doctor led them to Luke's room. All the Dukes rushed to Luke's side. Shea Lee just stood in the corner. All day the Dukes stayed there trying to Luke to wake up.

"Visiting hours are over," said a nurse.

The Dukes left, but Shea Lee stayed behind for awhile.

"I'm sorry Luke," said Shea Lee.

She kissed him and walked away.
