As Bo was putting the last bail of hay onto the haystack in the barn he couldn't help feel Luke's accident was no accident.
Meanwhile Uncle Jesse had just come out to see how Bo was holdin' up and so he figured he would check to see how he is.
" Hey Bo how you holdin' up ?". asked Jesse
" Well Unca Jesse I ain't doin' to good I ain't gonna rest until whoever did this to Luke is behind bars". said Bo
Meanwhile over at the hospital Luke was still about the same he was healin' fine physically but mentally another story.
the bandages on Luke's hands had been removed but with all the sitiches on his hands it made him look a ragdoll.
Luke was still hoooked up to the vintilator pump on account of he still can't breath on his own
and to make matters worse he still ain't come out of the coma, his doctor had little hope he would come out of it
Luke's doctor had little hope that he would come of it on account of he suffered severe head trauma.
" Luke was in a real mess this time an to make matter's worse the guys that done this to him are still hanging around".
Later on that day Bo had called on over to Cooter's garage and asked him if he would like to go looking for clues.
So when Bo pulled into Cooter's garage he had been working on a beat up old clunker that looked worse for wear.
" Hey Bo you sure you don't wanna tell your family about what we is doing?".asked Cooter
" Cooter, the last thing they need t'be is worrying about me". said Bo
" Well alright buddy-roe", If you is ready let's hit the trail". said Cooter
As Bo and Cooter was hitting the road in search of clues, over at the hospital uncle Jesse was just arriving.
" Hey Doc how's my boy doing today?". asked Jesse
" Well Jesse I wish I could say that Luke was doing better but he still is in a coma". said Doc. Applebee
" I mean he's doing better though then he was physically but mentally is another story?". said Doc
" But you fixed the aneurysm wouldn't that make it easier for him to wake up?".asked Jesse
" I'm sure that Luke will eventually come out of the coma it's just gonna take time". said Doc
" Can I see him now ?". asked Jesse
" Sure he's in room 118, which is the first door on your left". said Doc. Applebee
" So while Jesse was gonna try to get through to Luke, Bo and Cooter was still on the search for clues".
" Cooter I got me a feelin' that Luke's accident may not have been". said Bo
" You thinkin' Lukas may have been a vicitm of foul play?". asked Cooter
" Yep that is exactly what I'm saying buddy". said Bo
Suddenly Bo, Cooter came across a bar in Atlanta that Bo thought maybe could give them a clue .
" Hey Cooter why don't we pull into this bar here called "Smokies see if we can't find somethin' out". said Bo
" Okay buddy-roe since I"m drivin' I'm gonna be paying for the beer". said Cooter
"So Cooter and Bo parked the truck and made their way inside a very smokey bar filled with music , people munching on ribs."
Bo walked up to the bartender with a serious look on his face and he paid the man behind the bar a 10.00 dollar bill.
And he then asked the man if he's seen any mysterious looking strangers coming into the bar recently.
" Not that I reckon but why are you fella's so interested in finding out?". asked Ralph
" Well you might say it's kinda a matter of life or death mister". said Bo
" Well...", I could maybe tell ya... something if you would be willing to pay me some more?". asked Ralph
Then Cooter put a 20.00 dollar bill down and then the man counted it and he then looked Bo into the eye.
" Well boy's the guy you is lookin' for is sittin' at the back booth ". said Ralph
so Bo walked on over to where the guy was pointing to unfortunately through all the smoke he had a little trouble seeing.
Then he spotted a guy sitting in a booth with a evil grin on his face and then Bo got a scowl on his face.
" Hello ... there are you the guy that hurt my cousin?". asked Bo
" Maybe I did and Maybe not besides it don't matter anyway". said Parker
Then the guy got up and he pushed the table into Bo then he tried to make a run for it but Bo tackled him to the ground.
All the anger that Bo felt what this guy done to Luke started pourin' out of him and he beat the guy till he was senseless.
" ALRIGHT YOU TELL ME WHO TOLD YA LUKE WAS MY COUSIN!, answer me!". screamed Bo
" I..'m tell...ing ya I didn't lay a finger on your cousin!". said Parker
" If you didn't who did TELL ME!". screamed Bo
" I... I.. can...'t tell ..ya". said Parker
Then Bo noticed Luke's ring on the guy's finger and then he thought he would ask him".
" Hey what are you doin' with that their ring?". asked Bo
" Um...", it's a ... a.. gift". said Parker
" A GIFT, A GIFT, you mean you ripped it off Luke's finger you dirty rotton skunk". said Bo
Then Bo started choking the guy till he was blue in the face , at that time cooter walked on over.
" Alright Bo come on now let the guy go you done enough now". said Cooter
" Cooter let me go... let me go... dang..nit he hurt Luke "!.said Bo
" I know you think that Bo but you ain't got proof". said Cooter
" I do have proof cooter that bastard pulled Luke's ring off his finger he was bleedin' and dying that guy stole it".said Bo
At that moment Parker tried to make a run for it but he didn't get far on account of he didn't know it but a cop was watching
and he got out of his car and he stopped Parker Simms in his tracks and he slapped the cuffs on him and then put him in.
Meanwhile back over at the hospital Luke was still about the same he still remained dead to the world , still hanging on.
Luke's nurse was making her way into his room she looked over all his machines she was happy at the moment Luke was stable.
Once all that was done she figured she walked over to his bed and lifted up his eyelid hoping to get a response.
" Well Luke are we awake yet?". asked nurse Pammy
Unfortunately the nurse wasn't gettin' one so she put the eyelid back down.
Then she slowly left the room and went to report to Doc. Applebee on Luke's progress.
Meanwhile at the Hazzard Police Station Parker simms was being grilled about hittin' Luke Duke with a car.
" I keep tellin' y'all I didn't hit him I'm innocent I tell ya". said Parker
'
Oh ... right like I"m gonna believe that Bolongna TELL ME THE TRUTH NOW!".sheriff Rosco
" Enos lock this nutcase up and don't let him fool ya into thinkin' he's innocent". sheriff Rosco
" Yes sir ". replied Enos
" Hey I'm innocent I tell ya I didn't do anything". said Parker
" Yeah right you just keep lying through your teeth ". said Enos
" You ain't gettin' away with this ". said Parker
Meanwhile Cooter and Bo was now drivin' on back from Atlanta on there way now to Tri-County Hospital.
Bo kept studyin' Luke's ring tryin' to figure out why it ment somethin' special to that guy.
" Luke's ring was some sick trophy to that guy only I just can't figure out why". said Bo
" I know you'd like to believe that guy did it buddy-roe but you don't know for sure". said Cooter
" Cooter how many times do I have to tell ya that is the guy!". demanded Bo
" I just hope for Luke's sake buddy that he turns out to be the guy". said Cooter
2 hours later Bo and Cooter arrived at the hospital and Bo had Luke's ring with him in his pocket and rang into the hospital
He told the nurse at the front desk that he was here to see Luke and the nurse told him that Luke was in room 118.
So he made his way down the long hallway until he came to room 118 at first glance Luke looked like he was asleep.
" LUke , Luke, it's me Bo c'mon cousin wake up please?". begged Bo
" Luke, Luke, Luke, wake up ", Dangnit Luke would you wake up!". demanded Bo
The only sound that met Bo's ears was the sound of the vintilator pump.
" Luke they caught the guy it's over please wake up open your eyes". said Bo
" Luke... I'm so sorry I didn't mean it Luke please ... don't leave me . begged Bo
Bo thought he would pick up Luke's limp hand which felt clammy to touch .
As Bo talked to Luke he saw Luke's eyelid's blink some he got his hopes up that Luke would wake up.
When Luke didn't wake up Bo could feel an overwhelming amount of guilt wash over him , he could feel his heart breaking.
" Luke I"m begging you WAKE UP!'.
Then when that didn't work Bo just put his head down and prayed an unfortunately two tears slipped down his cheeks.
Suddenly Luke's heart monitor went off and he then his room button at the nurses station went off.
" look's like O'l Bo just got an answer to his prayer , sure hope the lord don't bury Luke fore his time.
