An hour later Bo went upstairs to Megan's room. He wanted to ask Megan if she wanted to watch a movie with the family. He knocked on the door and waited.

"Megan, it's Bo. Do you want to watch a movie?" Bo asked after a few minutes when Megan didn't answer. Bo knocked again, figuring his sister might be taking a nap. When she still didn't come to the door Bo got worried.

He ran downstairs and got Daisy. "Daisy, can you go in y'all's room? I wanted to ask Megan somethin' and I don't think I should just barge in," Bo said as he and Daisy went to the door.

"Sure, Honey," Daisy said, opening the door slwoly and walking in. A few minutes went by before Daisy's frightened voice startled him. "Bo, get in here."

Bo didn't even have to ask what was wrong. Looking around the room Bo could see that his sister was no where in the room. "Daisy, she didn't tell you she was going out tonight, did she?" Bo asked, trying to control his temper.

"No, but you might want to look at this," Daisy said, spinning Megan's laptop around so Bo could read a message on it. It was from Mark. It asked Megan to meet him at an old sawmill and the way it looked Megan had gotten the message an hour or two ago.

Bo closed his eyes briefly and ran downstairs. Megan was his responsibility and he would be the one to find her before Mark hurt her bad. Racing outside, admidst stares from his family he jumped in the General and raced off in the direction his sister had gone.

The road was dark and difficult to see, but Bo had been driving these roads for a long time. He reached the sawmill just in time. He exited the window and heard low voices talking.

"You know, Megan, I do love you," Mark said in a rough husky voice. Bo looked around. Megan and Mark were both holding hands and kissing each other periodically.

"I love you too. I just wish Bo liked you. I tried to tell him why I loved you and I don't think he understood," Megan said, resting her blonde head on Mark's chest.

Bo felt uncomfortable watching this whole thing. He knew he had to break it up, but he also knew his sister would be furious. Mark then pulled something out of a cooler at his feet. It looked like a beer or it could have been a coke. Bo wasn't sure.

"You want a beer, Meg?" Mark asked, handing it to her.

"I never drank before, Mark. Aren't we too young?" Megan asked, taking the can timidly. That was Bo's cue.

"Yes, you are, Megan Duke," Bo said, coming out of the bushes.

"Bo! What are you doing here?" Megan asked, her face turning white as Bo came towards her, took the can out of her hand, and wrapped his arm around her shoulders tightly.

"It was a good thing I did. Say goodbye, Megan. You're not seeing Mark again," Bo said stiffly, marching his sister to the General. He picked her up and put her in the car. The whole trip home was quiet.

Megan couldn't believe that BO had been spying on them! Her face was red hot with anger. How did Bo even know she was gone?

She then smacked her head. The computer! she should have turned it off before she left. How dumb of her! During the car ride,

Bo didn't say hardly anything to her. He just had a look of dissapointment on his face and just stared ahead. Megan knew she was getting

an earful at home from him and their parents as well. If her parents knew she was fixing to drink a beer, they would flip.

Why would Mark make her drink in the first place? He knew she didn't do drugs or drink alcohol but still, he offered her

the drink anyway..

They drove up to Uncle Jessie's driveway. Megan went inside with Bo not saying a word. She knew she had dissapointed her

brother and she didn't know what to say.

BOth of their parents were waiting along with the whole Duke family. "Oh my gosh, Megan your okay". her mother held her. "I'm fine

mom I just was with Mark". she hugged her mother in return.

"But why did you sneak out? Megan we were worried sick!" said Jim hugging his daughter to.

"I snuck out because Mark wanted to see me. But I wouldn't have snuck out if Bo had prevented us from seeing each other!"

she said.
