The first thing Luke noticed when he awoke was the fact that he couldn't see anything. His headache was still lingering, but wasn't nearly as bad as it had been earlier. He also noticed that the air was stale smelling and had a strong mildew smell to it. Luke also heard a sound coming from somewhere nearby. He then remembered that he hadn't been alone that day.
"Bo! Where are you?" Luke called out. The only sound that met his ears was the same sound he had been hearing since he woke up. Realizing what it was, Luke grew increasingly worried. Luke tried to move his hands, only to find them tied behind his back. He found that his feet were also tied together. Using an old trick that Luke had learned the very first time he was arrested on some false charge of Rosco's, Luke managed to get his hand in front of him by pulling his legs through his arms.
He found it a bit harder with his feet tied as well, but he managed after some effort. Reaching up to his face, Luke found that he had a blind fold on. Luke slipped it off his eyes, and found that it was still dark. There was almost no light in the room Luke was in, so he had to strain his eyes to see around the room, which didn't really help any in the dark. Looking in the direction of the sound, Luke could just barely make out the outline of another person.
"Bo, is that you?" Luke called out again.
"Yeah…it's me…" Bo replied between wheezy coughs and breaths.
"Are you alright?"
"I…dunno…it's kinda hard…to breathe…"
"Just hold on, I'm gonna try to untie my hands and feet, then I'll make my way over there and untie you. Then we'll find a way to get outta here and get you to the hospital." Luke said as he started trying to untie his hands, but with no luck.
"Dang it, I can't get a good grip on this dang knot." Luke said as he continued to struggle with the stubborn knot.
"Come here…and I'll try…to get it undone…" Bo said to Luke.
"Alright, let me get my feet untied real quick." Luke said as he managed to get the rope off from around his ankles. Slowly making his way over to where Bo was, Luke helped Bo get his hands in front of him as well.
"Okay, I'm gonna untie you first, then you try to untie me, alright?"
"Yeah…" after a few minutes of trying, Bo and Luke finally managed to get free.
"I can't…see anything…"
"That's 'cause the room's dark, and you probably have a blindfold on."
"Oh…"
"Take it off real fast and then we gotta get you outside and into some fresh air." Luke said. Bo nodded his head as Luke stood up. Luke then bent down and helped Bo stand up.
"Okay you ready? We're gonna have to feel our way around to get outta here. So stay as close as you can."
"Alright…Luke…" Bo and Luke slowly walked around the room, feeling around for the door.
"Hey Luke…what's that…?"
"What's what?"
"Over there…looks like…a light…" Luke looked around and saw what Bo was talking about.
"Good work Bo. That maybe where the door is, but it looks like someone's here. I can see some shadows moving around on the other side."
"What are…we gonna do…?"
"You stay here, I'll go check it out."
"Okay…just be careful…"
"Don't you worry none Bo, I'll be careful." Luke said as he helped Bo find a spot to sit. After Bo was settled down, Luke carefully and slowly made his way over to where the light was. When Luke got closer to the door, he could just faintly hear the voices of two men on the other side.
"What do we do now Chuck? We got them Duke Boys where we want them, but what are we gonna do with them?"
"We're gonna wait until they wake up, then we're gonna take them some place no one will ever find them, and with them being blindfolded, they won't know where to go or how to get back to town. Then we may just take care of them there instead of waiting for the weather get them."
"But what if they try to get away?"
"Don't worry, I got that part covered." Chuck said as he took out a loaded handgun and began polishing it with an old rag. An evil grin made its way across Chuck's face. Luke felt his way back to where Bo was.
"We got trouble Bo. There's a couple of fellas out there who I think mean business. C'mon we gotta see if we can find another way of getting outta here. Think you're up to it?"
"Yeah…if it means getting…the heck outta here…" Bo said between breaths.
"Okay, if yer sure. C'mon lets go." Luke said as he bent down to help Bo up. 'I got a real bad feeling about this. Bo's breathing is getting worse, and them guys don't sound to friendly. We need to get outta here.' Luke thought to himself.
"Hey, what…was that…?"
"What was what?"
"That sound…sounded like someone trying to open…a door…" Luke stood as still and quiet as possible. It was a little difficult to hear due to Bo's heavy breathing, but Luke was sure he heard the sound of someone trying to unlock the door. Bo and Luke braced themselves as the door slowly crept open. The sudden bright light that hit the room temporarily blinded Bo and Luke.
"Well, well, well. Look at who's awake already, and it looks like you two managed to get yourselves untied too." Charlie said with an evil laugh.
"What the heck do you want with us?" Luke asked.
"You know damn good and well what we want with you two."
"Wait a minute, you're that crook me and Bo stopped back in Hazzard last summer."
"Took you long enough to realize that, but to bad for you, you two won't live to see next week, in fact you'll be lucky to see the sun rise tomorrow. And soon the rest of your family will be out of Hazzard as well."
"What? What did you do to Uncle Jesse and Daisy?"
"We didn't do anything to them. But Hogg will be getting your farm soon enough." What Charlie just said made Luke and Bo very angry.
"Now if you two would be kind enough as to follow me out of here, we'll make sure to take good care of you." Luke cast an angry glare at Charlie as he and Bo followed him out.
"Look who's already awake and untied."
"Well, it's been a long time Dukes. Didn't think you'd be seeing us again, did you?" Chuck said with a nasty laugh. Without any kind of warning, Luke elbowed Charlie in the stomach. Charlie doubled over trying to catch his breath. Luke went to make a run for it thinking Bo was right behind him.
"Hold it right there. I suggest you be a good boy unless you want your cousin here to be full of lead." Chuck said as he held his handgun against Bo's side, one arm around Bo's throat.
"Bo!" Luke cried. "Let him go!"
"I don't think you're in any position to be making demands." Chuck said. Luke saw the fear in Bo's blue eyes and did the only thing he knew that he could right now. Luke raised his hands in the air in surrender.
"Good to see you are starting to see things my way. Charlie, quit fooling around and get the blindfolds. We're going to be taking a little trip."
"Right…" Charlie said as he started to finally get his breath back. Charlie came back with two blindfolds. After Bo and Luke were blindfolded, chuck led them out holding the gun to Bo's side still forcing Luke to do what Chuck told him to.
"Alright you two, get in the car." Chuck said as he pushed the cousin's out of the cabin. The sudden change in temperature caused Bo to start having another coughing fit. Chuck jabbed Bo hard in the side ushering him to get moving.
"Bo, are you okay?" Luke asked worried for his cousin's health.
"I dunno…" Bo said in between painful coughs.
"Get moving you two." Chuck said as he led them to none other then the General Lee himself. Charlie had gone back and drove the General to the cabin in an attempt to make it look like an accident. Before it had grown dark, he had tampered with the engine, making it so that the General would only be able to get them to where they were taking Bo and Luke, and no further.
Chuck forced Bo and Luke into the backseat of the General and then ran around the driver's side and climbed in through the windows, having discovered that the doors were welded shut earlier that day. Chuck started the General, and waited for Charlie to get in their brown sedan that they planned on using to get back with after they got rid of Bo and Luke. Once they were all set, Chuck led the way in the General Lee, and Charlie followed right behind in his car.
