When they got to the hospital, Luke was wisked away to the emergency room and Jesse was told to go wait in the waiting
room.
He found Sarah there when he got there.
"I hope he's going to be ok." She said.
Jesse smiled a little. "He's a Duke. He'll pull through this." he said reasurringly.
They both fell silent as they waited. Richard came in a short time later and they filled him in with what was going on.
It wasn't till about 30 minutes later when a doctor finally came out to find them
 An older man with a hea full of snow white hair and a rather large waistline approached Jesse, Sarah and Richard.
"Excuse me, are you the relatives of the young man they brought in for the digitalis poisoning?"
Jesse got up "Yes that's us. I'm Jesse Duke." he said holding out his hand and shaking the doctors. "How is he doc?"
"Well, considering the terrible nature of digitlis, I'd say he's doing rather well."
All three sighed with relief. "So he's going to be ok?" Jesse asked
 "He will have to stay a few days while we flush the poison out of his system, but he should be fine. He does have several cuts
and bruises on his face and two broken ribs. But he is a very fortunate young man, digitalis is very unpleasant, too much of it
could have killed him."
"Can we see him?" Jesse asked
The older Doctor shook his head. "Not right now, he's been sedated and is asleep."
 "Doc." Richard spoke up. "I'm going to need to ask him a few questions. You couldn't wake him up for a few minutes could
you?"
"Out of the question! That young man has been through a very traumatic experience and the last thing he needs is some G man
harrassing him." The mild-mannered Doctor said rather angrily.
 Richard was about to comment when Jesse cut him off. "Richard i told you Luke didn't tell them anything, ok." he said and then turned back to the doctor. "When do you think we can see him?"
"Well, maybe you should see him now. He might not be sleeping. I said they gave him something to make him sleep but I didnt
see if he was or not. Let's go see."
 Richard, Sarah and Jesse followed the doctor out of the waiting room and down the hall. They went through the doors of the
ICU and followed the doctor until he stopped at the 3rd to the last door on the hall.
 "Okay go on in, make it brief though." He said as he pushed the door open and stepped aside.
Jesse thanked the doctor and they went in the room. He could hear Sarah's gasp as they saw Luke. He looked ghastly pale and had bruises and cuts all over his face. There were also several IV's hooked up to him and then a thing of oxygen around his
nose. His shirt was off and his rib area was taped up.
Jesse approached the bed and reached down and touched Luke's face lightly. "Luke." he said. "Its Uncle Jesse son. Can you
hear me?"
Luke slowly opened his eyes and smiled at his Uncle. "Hi."
Jesse smiled. "How ya feeling?"
Luke tried to laugh but it made his ribs hurt. "Like I was trampled by several hundred head of cattle."
Jesse reached down and patted him on the arm. "Your going to be just fine. Get some rest."
Luke nodded his head at his Uncle as his eyes began to droop. Jesse turned away to leave when Luke reached out and
grabbed his arm. "Have you heard anything from Bo yet?"
Jesse looked briefly at Richard, who shook his head and then he looked at Luke. "No son. But don't worry about that right
now. Just concentrate on getting well." he said taking the hand off his arm and putting it back down on the bed and patting it.
"You have to find him Uncle Jesse, they probably told him that they got me. I doubt they told him they let me go." He said,
trying hard to stay awake.
Jesse put a reasuring hand on Luke's arm. "We'll get him out of there Luke, don't worry. Just go back to sleep and get well."
Richard opened his mouth to say something when Sarah elbowed him in the stomach. "Not now Richard" she whispered
savagly.
"He's gonna think they got me..he doesn't know I'm safe..." Luke whispered as he drifted off to sleep.
The doctor came in at that moment. "I'm sorry, but i'm going to need to ask you to leave. He needs his rest."
Jesse nodded. "Thanks doc." he said.
The doctor nodded and smiled. "No problem.
Richard sighed. "Doc, would you mind if i posted two guards outside?"
The doctor frowned, but shook his head. "No i don't mind. Its ok."
Jesse looked at Richard. "Do you think they might come back?" he asked
Richard shook his head. "I doubt it, but i'm going to post them at the door just to be on the safe side."
"Good idea." Jesse said and then added. "Come on ya'll lets go."
"So, what are we going to do now." Sarah asked as they left the room. "I mean they know Bo knows whats going on."
Richard nodded "Yeah i know. We are just going to have to raid that compound tomorrow like we we're going to do to begin with."
"I just hope Bo will be alright till then." Jesse said.

Dinner that night wasn't a pleasant affair, like it had been the night before. Bo was quite throughout the whole time, thinking about Luke and how the heck he was going to get through all this. Finally after dinner, he excused himself on pretense of a headache and went up to his room. He didn't notice when Walter got up from the table and followed him. Bo was at the top of the stairs when Walter caught up with him.
"Hey, Bo." Walter said.
Bo turned to look at the lawyer.
Walter smiled at him. "I seriously hope you weren't coming up here to do anything you were told not to do?" he asked.
Bo was about to ask what he meant when it dawned on him and he glared at the other man. "You son of a..." he seethed. "Let Luke go."
Walter smiled again. "I don't think so." he said and then came closer to Bo, lowering his voice. "If you do what you were told to do then i will, but not until then "
Bo glared at him
"That's a good boy." Walter told him "I'll talk to you a little later on. Have a good night." he said and then disappeared down the steps.
Bo let out a breath he wasn't aware he had been holding and then turned around and continued on to his room. When he got there, he closed the door and went over and laid down on the bed.
A short time later there was a knock on the door. Bo sighed. "Come in." he said.
The door opened, admitting his sister. "Hey. Just wanted to check on you. Are you alright."
Bo looked at her and smiled a little. "Yeah i'm fine. Just a little headache." he said.
Erin closed the door and came further into the room. "You lie." she told him. "What's wrong?"
Bo sighed and then sat up on the bed. "I guess i should tell you. They know Erin. They know why i'm here."
Erin's eyes widened and she came over and sat down on the bed. She tucked a piece of hair behind her ear as she spoke. "Are you sure?"
Bo nodded. "Your father called me into his office this morning. Apparently one of his goons saw me go in there last night. I told him i had not been in there and i thought they believed me, but." He broke off shrugging.
"But what?" Erin asked.
Bo turned his head to look back up at the ceiling. "They killed Coy and kidnapped Luke. Told me if i said anything else then they would kill Luke to."
Erin gasped "Oh lord." she said. "Do you think they know that i'm on to them also?"
Bo shrugged. "I doubt it but i don't know. They might."
"So what do we do?"
"Nothing right now." Bo told her "I'm not risking Luke's life. You should probably get out of here to so they don't get suspicious."
"I don't really want to leave you alone."
"Don't worry about me, i'll be fine. Just act like you normally do and do what you normally do, that includes going to school tomorrow." Bo said.
Erin got up from the bed and nodded. "Ok." she sighed. "But if you need anything just come ot my room ok."
Bo nodded and then watched her as she left the room. He looked back up at the ceiling, staring at it and thinking for a while before he finally feel into a fitfull sleep.

The night passed without anything else happening and then next day came and started off rather quietly. Erin got up and went off to school, Bo stayed in his room most of the time and Michael and all them plotted and planned. Meanwhile the FBI prepared to move in but the first thing they wanted to do was to make sure they picked up Erin before doing anything and they wouldn't be able to do it until after her last class at 2. They just hoped Bo could hold out until then.

Jesse was at the hospital sitting with Luke, Sarah was with him. They were just going to wait at the hospital until someone told them the outcome of the raid.
Luke was sleeping and Jesse and Sarah were talking quietly on a nearby couch.
"Don't worry about things Jesse." Sarah was telling him. "Richard knows what he's doing and he'll get Bo out of there safely."
Jesse nodded. "I hope so." he said and was about to say more when Luke moaned. Jesse got up and went over to the bed.
"Hey Uncle Jesse." Luke said
"Hi Luke. How are you feeling?" Jesse asked.
"Better." Luke said yawning "What's the latest?" he asked changing the subject.
Jesse sighed. "Well, there picking up.." he looked at the wall clock briefly. "..Erin in a little while from school and then going to go raid the compound."
Luke nodded and sighed. "I just hope Bo is ok."
Jesse nodded. "He will be don't worry about it. Richard will call us when he gets everyone arrested and Bo is safe." he said.
"I want to see him when he's out of there." Luke said.
Jesse smiled. "Yeah i'm sure he's going to want to see you to. Probably won't be to happy with you either."
Luke grunted softly but didn't comment
Jesse reached over and patted Lukes hair. "Just go back to sleep Luke. Sarah and I are going to stay, you just need to get some more rest."
"I don't want to sleep anymore." Luke protested but his eyes were closing again as he said it.
Jesse laughed. "I'll wake you up and tell you when i know anything. Just rest."
"Alright." Luke said and was asleep a moment later.
"Those two are pretty close aren't they?" Sarah asked as Jesse came back over to sit on the couch.
Jesse nodded. "Yeah they are." he said. "I just hope we get Bo back. I don't know what he would do or I would do if we didn't."
Sarah leaned over and patted his leg. "Its going to be fine. Don't worry."

Erin walked out of her last class and headed towards her car. She heard her name being called and she turned around to see two guys coming towards her.
"Miss Davis." The tall brown haired guy said.
Erin frowned, "Who are ya'll?" she asked.
The same guy who had spoken to her took out his ID and showed it to her. "You need to come with us." he said "Our boss is about to go in at you place and we need you safe."
Erin nodded and walked with the two men to a waiting car.

Richard and his men were waiting down the street for word that Erin was safe and not going to be coming back home. Once he got the word he and his men quickly surrounded the compound. Richard got out of his car and walked over to the gate and put the bullhorn he was carrying up to his mouth. "This is the FBI. We've got the place surrounded, come out with your hands up and no one gets hurt."

Inside the house, Michael,  Walter and a couple of other guys were in the study going over some plans when Stuart came barreling in the room.
"What is it Stuart?" Michael asked.
"Sir, its the FBI. They have the place surrounded."
"What!" Michael exclaimed as he stood up.
"Its true sir." Stuart said.
Michael nodded and looked at his men. "Ok. Get some guns and get out there, let them know we aren't surrendering without a fight. You to Stuart."
"Pleasure sir." Stuart said smiling as he walked back out the door followed by several men.
"We have to get out of here." Michael said to Walter.
Walter was half way to the door before he finished the sentence. "Yeah i know how to." he said. "Follow me."
Michael followed Walter out of the office.

A few minutes before anything had happened, Bo was in his room thinking about things. He had to do something he knew that much, he couldn't just sit around anymore, that just wasn't his style. He had to go find a phone and call Richard to tell him to call off any raid they were planning because if they didn't then Luke would be dead. He got up off the bed and left the room. He quickly went down the hall to his sisters room and looked around for a phone. He saw one on the night stand and walked over to it. Just as he was about to pick it up he heard some commotion out in the hall and voices and then became aware of what Richard was saying and his eyes went wide. He had to get outside to stop it otherwise Luke might die and how would he be able to get out of there. He put the reciever down and walked quickly to the door. When he stepped out into the hall he ran right into Walter and Michael.
"There you are." Walter said producing a gun and pointing at him.
Bo took a step back. "What's going on?"
"Your going to be our ticket out of here." Walter told him, grabbing him by the arm. "Lets go!"
"I'm not going anywhere with you." Bo snapped.
Walter pulled the safty back on the gun "Your coming with us. That's all i'm going to say."
Bo glared at him, but didn't say anything further.
"Come on." Walter said
Bo allowed himself to be lead from the room at gunpoint. They went down the steps and walked to the door, where they could hear the battle ragging from outside.
"I think we should wait here until they stop shooting." Michael said.
Walter nodded and put a hand on Bo's arm to keep him from going anywhere.
About 15 minutes later the fighting stopped, making the three standing by the door wonder who had one until Richards voice came over the loudspeaker.
"Michael Davis. You have lost. Come out of hte house with your hands in the air. You are under arrest."
"That's our cue, boss." Walter said, poking the gun into Bo's back. "Move."
Michael opened the door and Bo walked through it and outside.
 
 Richard wasn't sure whether those inside had heard him. He hoped Michael was here and hadn't slipped out, but those planted around the estate would have told him. About the time he was going to call again, he caught sight of Bo coming out of the door and breathed a sigh of relief until he saw the boys hands were raised and a gun was planted in his back. Michael and Walter came out of the house behind him.
Walter took the gun from Bo's back and pointed it at his head and then he looked at Richard. "Make one move and the boy is dead." he said "Michael and I are going to be leaving now and we are taking Bo with us. If you follow or try and stop us, then he gets it. If you follow our instructions then you just might get him back in one piece after we are on a plane and gone."
Richard nor his men moved for a moment.
"I mean it." Walter said
"Alright, have it your way." Richard said. "I'm not going to stop you, just release Bo before you leave the country."
Walter smiled at him and then turned to Michael. "Get the car."
There were a few tense moments while Michael went to get a car. Walter just stood there still holding the gun to Bo's head. Micheal came with a car a moment later and Walter opened the back door and pushed Bo into it. He then smiled at the FBI and got in himself.
"Ok Mike, step on." Walter told him.
 Michael drove the car out of the compound and down to the street. He then turned right and started down the street. None of the FBI cars on the street made any move to come after them.
"Next stop, the airport." Michael said.
"We're going to have to dump this one somewhere." Walter told him, gesturing with the gun towards Bo who was glaring at him.
"We'll stop somewhere." Michael assured him.
Walter regarded Bo for a moment. "You should have stayed at home boy," he said "Our business is our business and you should have stayed out of it."
"It involved my family, how could I have stayed away?" Bo replied, still glaring at him.
Michael looked in the rearview mirror at Bo. "I'm assuming Erin knows whats going on and that she was stolen at birth."
"You mean does she know you are a FAKE?"
Walter turned to Bo. "Watch you mouth boy." he snapped. "I think your answer is yes." he told Michael.
"Did the FBI tell her." Michael asked.
"Of course, they told her the truth, something you know absolutely nothing about."
"Why you." Michael seethed.
"You've got a smart mouth." Watler told him and then slapped him across the face."I think you'd better watch it. Your cousin had the same problem."
"You better not have hurt my cousin!"
Walter smiled at him. "Oh i ruffed him up a bit. He wouldn't tell me what i wanted to know, so i had to use force."
Bo tried to lunge at Walter, but the lawyer held the gun up and pointed it at Bo. Bo stopped and just glared at him "If you hurt him I swear I will hurt you!"
"Don't worry about it plowboy, your cousin is safe. He still wouldn't tell me what i wanted to know after i did what i did and let him go. I'm sure he's in the hospital right now, thanking God i let him live. Which is something you want be doing much longer."
Bo narrowed his eyes at him and sneered. "Neither would you if it wasn't for that gun."
Walter growled. "If had about enough of your mouth kid." he said and in one swift movement, brought the gun up and hit Bo on the head with it.
The gun hit Bo in the back of the head and he turned around to look at who did it. He felt his head get light but he tried to shake it off. He tried as best he could too stay awake but it did no good and he fell on his side against the seat.
"That'll keep him quiet for a while." Walter grumbled.
"Walter." Michael said looking in the rear view mirror. "I think we have company."
Walter turned around and looked behind them. Sure enough there was a plain unmarked car behind them.
"Do you think it's the FBI." Michael asked.
"I'm sure it is." Watler responded. "Idiots, they should know better. Step on it Mike, maybe we can outrun them."
Michael put the accelorator down to the floor and the car sped up. He looked back briefly to see what the other car did and they sped up as well. "It is the FBI."
"Fools." Walter muttered. "I'm coming up front, hang on." he said and manueverd his way over the front passenger seat to the front. "That's better." he said once he was situated
As they flew down the road, they quickly came up on an intersection and Michael took the road to the right, hoping they could get away from the car that was following them. The drove for a few moments longer and then quickly caught sight of what looked like to be a roadblock up ahead.
"Damn," Walter cursed.
Michael grunted "Hang on." he said and then turned the wheel.
They did a quick 360 turn and Michael head the car back the other way. The car that had been following them, quickly got out of their way and did the same turn a little bit behind them and continued the pursuit, the other FBI cars coming up behind him to help in the chase.
"Hurry up. Their closing in." Walter told him and then rolled the window down and stuck out his gun arm. He fired once behind him. The shot managed to get the right front tire of the lead car behind them, which stopped the car. The other cars had to veer around it in order to avoid a wreck, which gave them a little bit more time to get away.
Michael had made it back to the intersection and he kept going ahead. "Theres a construction sight up this road, we may be able to loose them there."
"Well go!" Walter told him. "I don't plan to spend the rest of my life in jail you know."
"I dont' either." Michael grumbled and continued to push the car to its limits.
The commotion and the wild driving managed to bring Bo around, he opened his eyes and put a hand to the back of his aching head.
He saw that he was alone in the back and that Walter was in the front. He started to turn around and Bo quickly dropped back on the seat like he was still out.
The construction sight was coming up quickly. Michael looked back briefy, the FBI was quickly gaining on him and he looked briefly at Walter. "Hang on. This could get bumpy."
Within moments they were off the street and on dirt. It was bumpy and Walter had to hang on.
Bo saw his chance, he got up from the seat and quickly lunged towards Michael, grabbing the steering wheel.
"What the!" Michael said as Bo grabbed the steering wheel. "Walter, get him off of me." he shouted as he tried to bat Bo's hands away.
Bo put his arm around Michael's neck and punched Walter in the nose, this stunned the man and Bo was able to grab the wheel with his free hand and turn it for over to the right as hard as he could.
Michael lost control of the car and as he tried to push Bo away and get control back, they hit a bump and the car turned on its two left wheels.
Bo and Michael were thrown to that side and as they tried to hang on, the car flipped the rest of the way over. It landed on its roof. The FBI cars following them, saw this and stopped their cars.
Bo managed to roll down the window that Walter had been shooting out of and crawl out of the car. He helped Michael out and then Walter.
"You both okay?"
Michael nodded, Walter just glared at him and then looked back at the FBI agents getting out of their cars.
Bo saw the blood from Walter's nose and he looked ashamed. "How's the nose?"
Walter looked at him. "Yeah its fine, i dont' think you broke it." he grumbled
"Hey, ya'll arlight?" Richard asked as he and several other agents approached
 "Oh?" Bo said as he looked at him and a little grin came to his lips. He punched Walter again and looked down at the man. "Think it's still not broken?" he asked. "That was for Luke."
"Oh I'm much better now!" Bo said, turning to Richard.
Richard raised an eyebrow at Bo and then turned to his men. "Ok guys. Arrest these two and read them their rights." he ordered
As his men cuffed and stuffed Micheal and Walter, Richard walked over to Bo and stood beside him and they both watched as the two thugs were read their rights.
"Are you sure your alright?" Richard asked
 Bo thought about Luke and sighed. "I will be as soon as you tell me that Luke is all right and safe."
Richard nodded. "Hes fine. Hes in the hospital, but the doctors say he will be out in a couple of days, no serious damage."
Bo breathed a sigh of relief and hung his head. "Can you take me to the hospital to see him?"
Before Richard could answer, one of his men called his name. "Yes Clint." he responded
"We're ready to go."
Richard nodded. "Alright, go on. We'll be behind you." he said
 Bo saw Michael in cuffs and he excused himself and went over to him. "I just wanted you to tell you not to worry about Erin. Her REAL family will take care of her better than you ever could."
Michael glared at him, but one of the agents pushed him into the car before he could say anything.
Bo exhaled loudly now that it was all over, he went back to Richard. "Well can I go to the hospital to see Luke or not?"
Richard sighed and then chuckled. "Yeah but only for a short time. I need to take you back to the office and debrief you."
"What happened to my sister?"
Richard nodded to his car and they started walking towars it. "I had a few guys pick her up, she's back at the office where she would be safe while all this went down." he said and then opened the car door and got in
"So where are we going first? The hospital or your office?'
Richard laughed. "We're going to the hospital. I think you want to see for yourself if Luke is alright like i said. So, get in." he said and started the car
"Yes sir!"
When Bo got in the car, Richard put the car in gear and headed towards the hospital. He called Clint over the radio to tell him they were taking a side trip and would be back at the office in about an hour.
They arrived at the hospital about 15 minutes later and Richard walked Bo inside and up to ICU.
Richard stopped and nodded towards the doors. "Hes in the 3rd to the last room. I'm going to stay here, don't take to long." he told Bo. "Oh, tell Sarah i want to see her, please."
Bo nodded and walked through the doors and went down the hall. He found the room Luke was in and knocked on the door
The door opened a moment later, it was Sarah who answered it. Her eyes lit up when she saw Bo and she smiled widely.
"Bo." she whispered loudly. "Your ok?!"
Bo smiled at her and nodded. "Yeah i'm fine. Can i see Luke?"
Sarah nodded and stepped outside where he was. "Yeah, he and Jesse are both asleep, but i think they wont' mind you waking them up."
Bo smiled "Thanks. Richard wants to talk to you."
Sarah nodded and smiled. "Ok." she said and then hugged Bo. "I'm glad you are alright."
Bo returned the hug. "Me to." he said
Sarah broke the hug and patted him on the shoulder and then walked off down the hall.
Bo watched her go and then turned back to the door and opened it.
He went inside and saw both his uncle and cousin asleep. He looked at Luke for a moment, seeing his bruised face and taped up ribs and wished he could get at Walter again. He shook the thought off  and walked over to his uncle.
"Uncle Jesse."
The older man opened his eyes and looked up at Bo. He came more awake when he realized that it was Bo.
"Bo," he said standing up and hugging his nephew. "Your ok."
Bo hugged his uncle back. "Yeah i'm fine Uncle Jesse. Told you i would be." he finished laughing a little.
Luke heard his Uncle speak and he opened his eyes and turned to see the back of his cousin.
"Hey...is that the guy that got me looking this pretty?"
Bo turned towards Luke "Hey Luke." he said "They said you were fine, but i had to come and see for myself."
 "If you call getting pounded on and given poison fine." Luke said as he started to laugh, his ribs twinged and he stopped.
Bo's eyes grew wide. "Poison?!" he said.
Luke creased his brow. "Didn't they tell you? They gave me digitalis. It could have killed me."
Bo gasped a little. "No, all they said was they had you and I told the FBI anything else then they would kill you. Walter said he ruffed you up but he didn't go into any details. Are you going to be ok?"
"Oh yeah Cousin, they didn't give me enough to kill me, it just made me sick and the doctors said that it's almost all out of my system."
Bo nodded and then crossed his arms and looked serious. "Luke, i told you i could handle it. Why did you have to go and get yourself caught. I mean when they sent me the note and the knife, i was worried sick! Why didn't you trust me and stay at home so you wouldn't have to be here now?" he asked, trying to sound irratated
 Luke was surprised at his cousin's feelings. "It's not that I didn't trust you Bo, I didn't trust them. I just couldn't sit at Richard's on my thumbs waiting to see if I was going to loose 3 cousins instead or just two. I'm sorry I worried you, I didn't mean too. So I guess this means we are even now, huh?"
Bo was about to ask what he meant when he realized what his cousin was talking about. He knew Luke was referring back to the time that Bo had tried to commit suicide and had worried everyone. Bo looked at Luke, a guilty look crossed his face. "Yeah," he said. "Yeah we are. Sorry i got uptight."
 "Don't be, I learned my lesson though, I mean just look at my face!" Luke said with a smile.
Bo laughed. "Yeah you do look pretty. Like a bowl of spaghetti."
"That's about what my face feels like."
Bo laughed. "Oh hey. I almost forgot." he said and put his hand in his right pocket in his jeans and brought out lukes pocket knife. He held it out. "They gave this to me along with the note. I kept it for you."
Luke raised an eyebrow and looked at his cousin."You know, you should never give a man a weapon after saying he's got a mug that looks like a bowl of spaghetti."
Bo smiled wickedly at him. "I dont' have to worry. Your in that bed and i could be out the door before you coudl even get up."
Luke jerked suddenly and Bo jumped back. Luke laughed out loud, it hurt but he didn't care. The look on Bo's face was worth the discomfort.
"Ok thats enough you two." Jesse said with a smile on his face.
Bo sighed. "I have to go anyway. Richard wants to take me downtown and ask me some questions. Besides Erin is there and i need to see how she is doing."
"Okay Cousin, are you going to come back?"
Bo raised an eyebrow. "Wasnt' planning on it, why?"
Luke looked up at him. "You know I WILL be able to get out of this bed eventually..."
"Ooo. I'm scared." Bo said
"You should be, especially when I use the behind of yours for archery practice."
 "We'll see about that." Bo told him smiling. "I have to go. I will be back later. I'll bring Erin with me."
"Take it easy cousin, we've lost enough family lately."
Bo nodded. "I will, i promise." he said and stepped over to the bed and hugged his cousin. "I'm glad your safe." he said before letting go and standing back up. He hugged Jesse next. "Keep an eye on him. "
Jesse smiled "I will and be careful." he said "Tell Erin her family is waiting."
 Bo nodded. "See ya'll later." he said and then walked to the door. He turned back around when he got there and waved a goodbye and then he was gone
 
Once Bo left Luke's hospital room, he found Richard and they left the hospital for FBI headquarters.
"I want to see Erin before we do anything else." Bo told him
Richard sighed. "Ok. But only for a few minutes. I really need to talk to you." he said
"Thank you." Bo said and then followed Richard towards the room Erin was in.
Erin saw them as they walked in and she jumped up and ran to her brother. "Bo. I was so worried."
"Hey sis." Bo said as the hugged. "I came as soon as i could. Are you doing ok?"
Erin nodded. "Yeah, i've just been here for the past couple of hours wishing i knew what was going on." she said as she broke the hug and looked up at him.
"Everything is ok now. They didn't do anything that bad to me." he said, laughing a little
"I still was worried." she told him.
Richard cleared his throat. "Bo i'm sorry, but i really do need to debrief you. You can come back and talk to Erin a little later."
Bo sighed and frowned a little. "Alright." he said "You going to be ok for a little while longer?"
Erin nodded and smiled. "Yeah just go do what he wants you to. I'll see you later."
Bo nodded and relunctantly followed Richard out the door.

Erin tried to find something to do after Bo left but she couldn't find anything that she hadn't already done while she had waited during the afternoon. She decided to leave the room she was in and started wondering down the hall. She encountered other FBI agents but they went about their own business and didn't stop to tell her she shouldn't be wandering around. A few moments later she was about to walk by an interrogation room when she stopped and looked inside. There were 4 people in the room, two agents and Michael and his wife, the two people who had made her believe all these years she was their child after stealing her from the hospital. She wanted to hear what they were saying, but she knew she couldn't just walk in the room, so she looked around and spotted a door next to the room and she walked over to it and opened it and went in. When she walked in she saw a large window off to her right and she went and stood in front of it and could see in to the room where her fake parents were sitting. She looked for something to turn on to get any sound and she saw an intercom next to the window and she pressed a button. The next thing she heard was one of the agents asking a question and she smiled.
She listened for a few minutes as the Agents asked questions about Michaels dealings and various crimes and his answers and then they came to the subject of their child, her, Erin. Erin became increasingly upset as she listened to what both of them had to say and she wondered if they were even telling the truth about such answers if they loved her like their own and others similar to that. Suddenly she couldn't take it anymore and she left the room and walked next door. Without knocking or announcing that she was even there, she burst into the room. All four people looked up at her and one of the agents, Clint, was instantly out of his chair.
"You shouldn't be in here." Clint said to her.
"I don't care." Erin snapped and looked at both Michael and Kate angrily.
"I want to know why you kidnapped me. I mean why me?"
Kate looked at her. "I couldn't have kids and we wanted a child. We tried adoption agencies but they moved to slowly so we had someone go out and looked for a baby for us. It just happened to be you, i'm sorry. I was just hoping you never would find out about it."
"Never find out about it." Erin repeated.
"Erin come on. Lets go." Clint said putting a hand on her arm.
Erin shrugged it off, still glaring at Micheal and Kate.
"Let her talk." Jackson told Clint
Clint grumbled but didn't say anything further and let go of Erins arm.
"You were hoping that i'd never know and you were also hoping i would never find out about the kind of businees you two were involved in....You've killed two people, possible more. Two people who just happen to be cousins of mine and you dont' seem to give a damn."
Clint looked over at Jackson and shook his head at the door, then mouthed that he should go get Richard. Jackson nodded and got up out of his chair and left the room.
Erin continued to accuse them while Jackson was doing this, getting angrier each passing moment. She crossed her arms and looked down at the floor for a moment and then back up at them.
"Tell me the truth. Did you ever really love me?"
"Yes." Kate said instantly. "We did, you have to believe that."
"I'm not sure what to believe anymore." Erin snapped.
"Erin, your moth...Kate, is telling the truth. We both loved you as our own. That is the truth." Michael told her.
About that time Jackson came back in the room, Richard and Bo were behind him.
"Ok, that's enough Erin. You don't need to be in here." Richard told her and looked back at Bo. "Get her out of here."
"Yes sir." Bo said and went to his sister and put a hand on her arm. "Come on sis."
"No." Erin said
Bo pulled on her arm and got her to move. "Come on Erin. This is only making you upset. Lets get you out of here."
"I don't want to leave. I'm not through." she said
Bo looked at her in the eyes. "Yes you are, now lets go." 
Erin reluncatnly followed her brother to the door, but stopped when she got to the door. " I have to ask something else."
Bo sighed and let go of her arm.
Erin looked back at Michael and Kate. "Tell me this. What would you have done to me when you found out that i knew what you were up to?"
Michael and Kate looked at each other for a moment, each knowing what the other was probably going to say, but didn't want to tell Erin.
The silence streatched on for a few more moments.
"I guess that's my answer." Erin accused. "I can tell you both want to say, yes you probably would have gotten rid of me."
"We didn't say that." Kate spoke up.
"You didn't have to."
Bo saw the pain that suddenly moved across his sister's face. He put his arm around her shoulder and squeezed it. "Come on honey, you don't need them anymore."
"I hate the both of you." Erin shot at them, before she turned back around and walked out the door.
Bo sighed and ran his fingers through his hair as he followed Erin down the hall.
Erin turned around and briefly looked back at her brother. "Bo i want to be alone, just go away." she told him and turned back around and started walking again.
Bo shook his head and increased his speed and caught up with her. When he got near her he put his hand on her arm and stopped her.
"Bo." Erin protested
"No Erin." Bo told her. "I'm not going to leave you alone. Besides, where would you go."
Erin shrugged, not looking at him. "I don't know, somewhere."
"Come here." Bo said and took his sister into his arms.
Erin let him but didn't relax.
"Come on sis." Bo said. "Its going to be ok. Its over, don't worry about them anymore."
After a moment, Erin finally relaxed against her brother and she put her arms around him.
Bo patted her back. "It's going to be just fine. You'll see."
"Thats easy for you to say. You weren't raised by people that lied to you all your life and then are willing to take your life just because you found out about something bad they were doing."
 "I know honey but now you have a family that loves you and wants to take care of you without the lies and deceit."
Erin didn't say antying for a long moment, then Bo took her chin and lifted her head to look at him. He saw she had tears in her eyes and he quickly wiped them out of her eyes and then kissed her forehead. "Its going to be fine. Just trust me." he said "Now come on, I'm going to see if we can't get a car and i'll take you out to the hospital so you can meet your real family.
"I don't know." Erin said heasitantly.
Bo smiled and laughed "It'll be fine. They won't bite and they will be happy to see you."
"Ok," Erin said and then smiled at him. "If you insist."
Bo nodded. "I do. Now come on." he said and drug her down the hall in search of someone or a car he could borrow to go the  hospital and take Erin to see her new family.

Luke was released from the hospital several days later, the poison completly out of his system and with a warning not to do anything to strenuous for a while until the ribs had time to heal up. A day after the family came back to Hazzard, they had a funeral for their two lost cousins.
It was mid afternoon under an overcast sky. The Duke family along with Richard, Sarah and Erin, stood around two freshly dug graves at the Hazzard cemetary near where most of the other family members had been buried. A preacher was standing at the head of the two graves.
 "Dear Lord we commit these two beloved family membes into thine hands in the name of the Father, the Son and of the Holy Ghost, Amen." He said as he made the sign of the cross over them all. "This service has ended and may the Lord walk with you all." He said as he closed his Bible and said a silent prayer
"Amen." everyone said
The preached nodded and left the grave sight.
Noone said anything for a moment and then a few minutes later, they started breaking up and going to where several of the other Duke graves where. Bo watched as Luke walked over to his parents graves and then he looked over at his and then down at Erin who was standing silently beside him.
"Come on. I want you to meet your real parents." He said quietly, taking her hand.
Bo and Erin walked over to their parents graves and stopped. Bo put his arms around his sisters shoulders. "These were your real parents Erin." he said nodding to the two graves sitting side by side. 
"Robert and MaryEllen." Erin read. "I wish i could have known them."
"Yeah me to," Bo said quietly, tears threatening his his dark blue eyes.
"Bo i'm so sorry about all this." Erin told him. "About your cousins and all.
Bo sniffed "Its ok. It wasn't your fault." he said. "Look at it this way, you found your real family.
Erin nodded and hugged her brother. "Yeah i guess I did." 
Before Bo could answer, their Uncle called to them.
"Kids." he said. "Come on. Lets get going before it starts raining."
"Coming." Bo said about the same time Luke said it as well. 
"You ready?" Bo asked, looking at Erin.
Erin looked at her parents graves one last time before she nodded. "Yeah."
They started walking back to where their Uncle, Richard, Sarah and now Luke and Daisy were waiting.
"So what are you going to do now?" Bo asked. "Will you stay with us."
Erin shook her head "I still have school." she answered. "I've talked with Richard and Sarah and they said i can stay with them while i finish school."
"I just found you, i don't want to loose touch with you again." Bo said.
Erin stopped and smiled up at her brother. "You aren't going to loose touch with me. You can come see me on the weekends or i can come here. It isn't that bad of a drive." she stopped for a moment and looked at the dukes and then back at her brother. "Besides, i want to get to know you and this family. I don't think we will loose touch.  At least we better not."
Bo chuckled. "Come on." he said and they started walking towards the family again.
"Why don't you, Richard and Sarah come out to the farm for a little while." Bo said. "We can talk some more."
"That would be great." Erin said
Bo smiled as they rejoined the rest of the family and left the graveyard.
