The next day Bo and Luke went out to the Jenson farm to help them rebuild their barn. The Jenson's were staying in the hotel in town free of charge because everyone in Hazzard were helping each other out during this hard time and the owner of the hotel, not Boss Hogg, thank goodness, refused to take their money. Bo was only allowed to do light work, mostly just handing Luke the nails and wood. It wasn't much and it was frustrating for Bo but it was better than staying at home with Uncle Jesse hovering over him. Not to mention, Bo insisted on going and Luke insisted Bo come with him. The Jenson's got both Duke boys or none at all and seeing as Jesse promised Mr Jenson Luke's help, he didn't have a choice but to let Bo go along. What happened next, however, would make Jesse keep Bo home for the rest of the year.

"Mr Jenson, are you expecting more helpers?" Bo put a hand to his head to shield his eyes from the sun as he tried to make out who was coming down the road. Mr Jenson looked up from the wood he was cutting in half.

"Nope, just you boys today."

Bo slowly lowered his hand as the truck came closer, his face hardening at what he saw. "Mr Jenson, get on the CB and get the Sheriff over here." Mr Jenson frowned, but didn't move. "Now, Sir!" Jenson ran over to his truck and got in.

Luke leaned over the edge of the barn roof. "Bo, what is it?"

"Looters." Bo answered, recognising the truck they were driving. Luke wasted no time in getting off the roof to stand in front of his cousin. "I thought they would've moved onto the next town by now."

"Glad they didn't. I've been waiting for my chance to take these jackasses down!" Luke glared at the men as the truck came to a stop in front of them. Bo moved out from behind his cousin. As warm as it made him feel that Luke wanted to keep him from harm, Bo was never one to sit out of a fight.

Randall got out of the car. Luke nodded, "You're right. He is big."

"And fast." Bo added. "The other two don't get out of the car. Big guy here does all the dirty work while his friends stay nice and safe inside the car." He said this loud enough for Rick and Jason could hear them. Bo smiled at them as they glared at him.

"Ain't you the guy we took down on the side of the road?" Rick smirked, trying to make Bo lose his confidence.

Bo looked at Luke, "Luke, this guy thinks he took me down."

Luke folded his arms and looked at Bo with a mock confused look. "How'd he take you down when he was in the car, safe, Bo?" Luke could see he was getting to the guy and he was enjoying it.

Bo shook his head, "I don't know. Maybe he used that...you know that movie, the one in space with those glowing swords."

"The Force." Luke supplied, happily, "Star Wars. I like that movie. You do know it ain't real, right?"

Bo shrugged, "How else can he take me down from inside the car, safe and sound?"

"You boys think you're funny, don't ya? Well, you ain't gonna be laughing soon." Rick sneered, "Randall, shut them up!"

Bo took a step back, "Oh that's right. He gets the Big Oaf to do what he can't."

"I got this, Bo." Luke stepped in front of Bo again. Bo knew Luke could handle this guy. He may be good but Luke's been trained by the marines as well as took up boxing. Randall didn't stand a chance. Randall threw a right punch. Luke's left arm came up in a flash, blocking the punch, before he sent a right hook straight back. Randall's head was thrown backwards. Luke grabbed him by the shirt and punched him again and again and again. Then he let Randall drop to the ground. Luke turned his head to Bo. "Thought you said he was fast." Luke shook his right hand, grimacing as he opened and closed it to ease the ache, "He's thick, that's for sure, but he ain't fast." Luke shook his head in disappointment. Luke knew he was in trouble when he saw Bo slowly raise his hand. He let his hands drop to his side, "He has a gun, doesn't he?" Bo gave him an apologetic smile. Luke raised his hand.

"Jason! Go tie blondie up." Rick ordered, "And you!" He called to Mr Jenson, who was still in his truck. "Get out here and keep your hands up." Rick was still a few feet from Luke, and Bo knew he needed to be closer for Luke to make a move.

Jason came up to him. Without warning he punched Bo in the stomach. "Oof!" Bo dropped to knees. It wasn't a direct hit to his ribs but the pain it caused was still intense. He hissed as his arms were pulled roughly behind his back. Luke remained silent as he watched the coward tie up his cousin. "Yeah, you guys are real tough, taking on a defenceless guy." Luke smiled as he felt the tip of the gun at his neck. Now he knows where the guy is.

"You talk too much for someone who's on the other side of the..." Before Rick knew what was happening Luke had spun around, grabbing the gun with one hand and bending Rick's arm at the elbow with the other. By the time Rick caught up with what was happening, Luke had disarmed him and was now pointing the gun at his head. "You were saying?" Luke smiled, smugly.

Jason, who was distracted by what was happening to his friend, was taken by surprise as Bo threw himself into him bringing them both to the ground.

Luke looked over at his cousin, "Ah, that's gotta hurt." Turning back to Rick, Luke called out.

"Mr Jenson! Get over here, will ya?"

Ignoring the pain, Bo managed to get himself up, sitting on top of the looter and keeping him pinned there.

Mr Jenson ran up to Luke. "Take the gun and keep it on him." Sirens could be heard in the distance. "Figures Rosco would get here after we do all the work." He mumbled as he walked over to his cousin. "You okay?" Luke asked as he untied Bo.

"Yeah." Bo grunted, "No thanks to this idiot." Luke glared down Jason. Taking the ties that were on Bo, he rolled Jason onto his stomach and tied his hands together, before doing a more thorough check of his cousin. "You sure, you're okay?" Luke asked again as he pressed gently against Bo's ribs.

"Ow!" Bo pushed Luke's hands away. "I'm fine. Just sore." He grimaced as he rubbed his ribs.

"Alright you Duke boys, put your hands up!" Luke closed his eyes and took a deep breath, before turning around.

"Rosco..." Luke started.

"I'm just joking. Kiew, kiew!" Rosco grinned at him, "Gjit, I just missed saying that. Duke boys. It's still Duke boys." He was emphasising the 's' sound at the end of the word 'boys'. Luke shook his head at the Sheriff, as Bo smiled. Rosco had missed him. That was actually quite sweet. Bo hadn't been around town very much since he got back, so this was the first time that he had run into Rosco. "Enos! Cuff'em and stuff'em!"

"Yes Sir, Sheriff! Ha!" Enos answered in his usual high-pitched, enthusiastic voice. "I missed you, Bo." He said as he cuffed the unconscious Randall and his partner Rick.

"Thanks, Enos."

"I'll call Cooter to come by and tow away their truck. Kiew, kiew. We've been looking for these crooks for a while now." The Sheriff said as he got into his car. Luke and Bo watched the Sheriff and Enos drive away with the looters.

"Come on. Let's get you home. Jesse ain't gonna be happy when he hears you've hurt your ribs again."

"Aw, Luke. Do we have to tell him?" Bo looked at Luke, begging him to not tell his uncle. "He ain't gonna let me out of the house...ever!"

"Bo, it ain't gonna be that bad." Luke laughed, "Sorry, Mr Jenson. We're gonna have to come back tomorrow and finish off your barn."

"If I'm allowed to come back." Bo mumbled.

"Come back when you're ready, Boys." Jenson waved at them. Luke helped Bo into the General Lee.

Bo laid his head back against the seat and closed his eyes. "I'm beat."

Luke looked at him. "Hospital or Doc Appleby?"

"Aw, Luke! I'm fine! Just tired and sore. A day's rest is all I need." Bo complained, "Why are you and Uncle Jesse always ready to ship me off to the hospital?"

"You're sure, you're okay?" Luke asked, he was used to Bo getting this way. "You promise and I'll trust you."

Bo looked over at his cousin. "I promise." He said softly. Luke nodded, "But we still gotta tell Uncle Jesse. Chances are he'll find out when he goes into town tomorrow anyway and then you're really gonna get it."

Bo pouted, "I guess you're right. How long you reckon he'll keep me in the house this time?"

Luke laughed, "The rest of this year if you're lucky."

"I'm not feeling very lucky today."

"Then probably the rest of your life." Luke laughed as Bo groaned. Life was finally returning to normal in Hazzard County. Everyone in Hazzard County should've known that a hurricane couldn't take out Hazzard and no hurricane in history can take down a Duke.

The End!

Thanks again for reading my stories and giving such great reviews. Hopefully I'll be back to writing Duke fics sooner than I think. Yeeeeehaw! I'm gone!
