Summary: When a man from Luke's past is convinced he is cursed, what
lengths will he go to in order to lift the curse.

First chapter will be mostly an original character, later chapters will
have much more of Bo and Luke, but first we have to set the story.



The Curse

It was a beautiful day as the Duke family went about their various
chores, unaware of the eyes that watched them. The man hidden in the
tree looked on Luke with hate filled eyes as he thought about the last
time he had seen Luke Duke. They had served in the Marines together, but
he had never done as well as Duke. No matter what he did it seemed
nobody noticed, unless it was to reprimand him, but not so with Luke
Duke, he was the golden boy. Seemed everything he did turned out well,
he could do no wrong, when he finally decided it was time to take Sgt.
Duke out his luck ran true. When they caught him rigging the
Sargent's rifle to explode in his hands nobody understood why he had to
do what he did. They didn't get it Sgt. Luke Duke wasn't as good as
everyone else thought he was and it was his fault that he, Mike Wilson
could never get anywhere. Every time he failed he knew it was because
of the curse put on him by Luke Duke, that's why he had to kill him,
it was the only way to end the curse. But he failed and because of
that he was sent to prison, locked up in the psych ward. Couldn't they
see he wasn't crazy, he was cursed, he had spent his time trying to
figure out why he'd failed. It should have worked he had been sure
nobody saw him tamper with the rifle, after a long time he finally
figured out the reason it hadn't worked. Before he could kill Luke
Duke and end the curse he had to weaken him, but first he had to find
out where he got his strength from. So now that he was here, he would
watch until knew and then he would know how to weaken the man who had
cursed his life and then he would kill him.

Over the course of the next several days Mike continued to watch
Luke, it didn't take long for him to notice that Luke was almost always
with the blond young man who must be a family member. They acted as
close as brothers but he didn't think the Sargent had ever mentioned
a brother, so if he wasn't Luke's brother who was he? He'd have to
get closer somehow or maybe he could ask around, then he remembered
the bar he had passed, something about pigs, what was it, oh yeah, The
Boar's Nest. That's where he'd go, bars were always a good source of
information, a couple of hours and a few beers later and he had his
answer, Bo Duke, Luke's cousin and best friend. Now that he'd heard
the name he remembered Luke talking about his younger cousin back in
the Marines, so now he knew his strength came from the bond he had
with his cousind and that was how he would weaken him.

It took a coulple of days to get everything ready, first he had to
find a place and then he had to figure out how to get his hands on Bo.
Of course the most important thing was to plan exactly what he would do
to Bo in order to weaken Luke so he could kill him. Remembering a program
he had seen while in prison he got an idea, as he thought about it he
knew he had finally found the perfect way to end the curse that was on
him. Before he could begin there were certain supplies he would need,
this delayed his plans another couple of days as some of the things he
needed were a little difficult, but finally everything was ready and in
place. Mike began to follow Bo, waiting for a chance to catch him alone,
when that chance came he was ready to move. He heard Luke's Uncle ask
Bo to go over to Capital City in the pick-up and get some parts he
needed for the tractor. Mike quickly headed to the road that would take
Bo to Capital City, pulling off of the road, he hid his car from view.
When he heard Jesse's truck coming Mike began walking, as Bo came along
and saw Mike he pulled over to offer him a ride. All Bo saw was a glimpse
of a man about Luke's height with blond hair and brown eyes, and then
something stung him, when he woke up he was in an old barn, his hands
tied to a rope flung over one of the beams. All Bo could think as he
struggled to loosen the ropes was 'what kind of mess have I got into now'?
