Dukes Of Hazzard chapter 6

"He won't get away with this cousin; I swear it upon my life…!"is all it took Bo to say before Luke`s Marine training kicked in. Bo saw it all happen and was curious as to what would happen next. "Luke? What was that little gleam in your eyes I just saw?" Bo got no reply from Luke, who had the look in his eyes that told Bo he didn't want to meet this side of Luke at all.

"UNCLE JESSE! DAISY! COME HERE PLEASE! LUKE IS SCARING ME SOMEHOW!" everyone ran into the hospital room as soon as they heard Bo yelling, how could Luke be scaring Bo and Bo not being able to explain how Luke was scaring him, he just was. Daisy walked over to where Bo was standing and looked at Luke and saw the look in his eyes as well. Telling Jesse how it made her feel pretty much describing Bo's emotions of being scared at the same time.

Jesse saw that gleam of horror in Luke's eyes, understood why the kids would be scared by Luke, but Jesse wasn't, he knew something Bo had said triggered Luke's Marine training to kick in, but what could it have been?

Jesse took Bo and Daisy into the hallway to find out what all had been said before pain clouded Luke's eyes. "Uncle Jesse all I said was that Benson and Lee wouldn't get away with sneaking into Luke's hospital room all the time to deliver bad news, last time he told Luke that Edd and Judd were kidnapped. How Judd came into this situation, I don't know. All I said is that they won't get away with this cousin; I swear it on my life and after that he gave me that expression that scared the heck out of me and believe me Uncle Jesse that takes a lot."

After hearing Bo's story, Jesse decided it was about time that he explained something to the two younglings of his. "That look in Luke's eyes are from being in Marines, he saw a lot of stuff when he was in Vietnam, and when you said what you did it probably triggered a memory from long ago, or just the situation did cause he looks ready to deal with this situation as best as he can even though he is injured."

Realization kicked in inside Bo's head, slowly walking back into the room he calmly talked to Luke hoping to bring him back to himself. "Luke, you are at home, you're not in 'nam anymore, try to calm down, relax and concentrate on my voice, I need you to tell me who I am. Concentrate, think really hard."

"Bo, I know I am not in 'nam… I haven't been for 7 years. Why did you bring that up? Did you think I was losing my memory or something?!" Luke was starting to get angrier with each question he asked. "Did you really think I am going crazy 'cause I am sorry if my expression on my face scared you at all, I was just worried about my baby brother and my friend from the Marines and no way in HELL am I not staying in this damn hospital!"

Bo was shocked Luke was actually back to himself, he guessed it was because they had left him alone for a while. "Hey Uncle Jesse'd have your hide if he heard you talking like that." "Bo, I-I-I can't believe I just said that, to you of all people. You're right too, my Marine training kicked in and I made excuses, I didn't want you worrying about me but I'm guessing Uncle Jesse filled you in and my facial expression and you just decided to try and help me out of this tough situation and talk things out with me. I am truly sorry cousin. Now before I say anything else I'll regret get me out of this here hospital bed, I want to get back home as quick as possible. Ya hear?"

Bo heard the regret and pain in Luke's voice but was glad he told Bo the truth, and now they could head home. "Sure cousin, and Luke?" "Yeah?" "I forgive you for being careless, 'cause if you hadn't noticed that's my job!" Bo left the hospital room as laughter proceeded throughout his family.
