Bo sat down at one of the empty tables in the Moon& Tree, bar&grill. There wasn't very many people left in the there, just the drunks that were basically passed out at the table where they sat. The air was filled with pungent aroma of beer and smoke. Bo looked down at his beer, thinking about recent events. He was running low on money now. He was doing gigs in bars whenever he could but those jobs where few and far between. He had a gig tonight, at Moon&Tree bar and grill, and made a $100 dollars he needed $90 of it to pay this months rent. He was playing again tomorrow night for another $100. He was signing a mix of songs by other artists and songs that he had wrote himself. If all went well this job could become a permeant job.  After tomorrow he would have $200, it would be the most money he had the whole time that he had been in Atlanta. He was struggling just to make ends meet. Most weeks he could hardly even afford to eat. He saved most his money for rent. He had tried to get a job as a mechanic but there was no work, for a mechanic anywhere in Atlanta. Some months he couldn't afford to pay the hydro, water or phone bills. He was constantly getting charged the late fee. This months bills would cost $80. Which would leave him with only $30 to buy food with. He had to sell his car for money, so had to rely on the subway to get everywhere.
     Bo left Hazzard about six months ago. After having a major fight with Luke. It was about Katrina, a girl that Luke had been dating. Luke was quite serious about her. Bo never really liked her, just something about her made him distrust her. However, Bo never said anything to anyone about it. Then she broke up with Luke, and everyone all thought it was Bo's fault. Bo didn't really understand why they all blamed him. They said that he was going out with Katrina behind Luke's back. Bo said that it wasn't true but nobody listened him. Even uncle Jesse and Daisy wouldn't believe Bo. The whole town thought that Bo was going with Katrina. Luke was extremely angry at Bo for taking Katrina away. The more Bo tried to deny it the more angry Luke got. Everyone just kept telling Bo to stop being so immature and admit to it. It hurt Bo that they would think such a thing about him. There was no way he'd ever do something like that, even if he didn't dislike Katrina so much. He hated fighting with Luke and just wished that someone would believe him. Their distrust of him hurt him very deeply. He tried to ignore it but couldn't, he felt the only answer to the problem was to leave Hazzard forever. Then one night when everyone else was at the Boar's Nest, Bo packed his bags
He left a note on the kitchen table before leaving:

To whom it may concern,

 Since it would take quite some time before any of you notice that I am no longer here, I am leaving a note to tell you that I never shall be bothering any of you ever again, as I am leaving here for good. Not that y'all really care.

Bye now,
Bo

Bo hitched a ride to Capitol City, where he bought a used car. Then he drove to Atlanta.
     Bo got up from the table and walked outside and headed to the subway and went back to his apartment. The apartment was in very poor run down condition and was in a very bad neighbourhood, but it was the only place that he could afford.
     Later that night he lie awake listening to the wail of sirens outside, and the neighbours a couple doors down arguing as they did every night. Outside the sound of gun  fire echoed in the night air. Bo just rolled over and looked at the clock it read 3:45.
     The next morning the Dukes were all sitting around the kitchen table no one was talking. Luke just sat pushing the food around on his plate. He wished he had never fought with Bo, he regretted everything he had said to Bo. He wished that he had listened to Bo's side of the story, instead of just what Katrina had said. He realized he had never even given Bo a chance to tell his side and blamed himself for Bo leaving. Daisy and Jesse were sad that they hadn't listened at all to Bo's side of the story either and that they drove him to a point were he felt the only answer was to leave the farm forever.
     Luke started to think back to the last time he was with Katrina. He was so in love with her. They sat at a table in the Boar's Nest.
     "Luke . . ." she said.
     "Yeah, what?" Luke questioned.
     "I can't see you anymore." Katrina said flatly.
     "What? Why?" Luke asked.
     "Because I don't share the same feelings that you do for me. I am in love with someone else. Someone who is just so perfect and I feel that he loves me more then you do." Katrina said.
     "Who are you talking about?" Luke asked feeling an instant hate for who ever it was that stole Katrina's love away from him.
     "Your cousin, Bo." Katrina said in a dreamy tone.
     "WHAT!?" Luke said.
     "It is Bo that I am in love with and he loves me just as much as I love him. We are just so perfect for each other." she replied, then stood up from the table. "I can't deny my feelings for him any longer, I can't be with you cause I don't love you."
She walked off leaving Luke just sitting there stunned and angry. He was angry that Bo would go behind his back like that and steal Katrina from him, when Bo knew how much he loved her.
 Luke left the Boar's Nest to find Bo and "discuss" the situation. Bo was working on the tractor when Luke found him.
     "Bo we have to talk." Luke said in an angry tone.
Bo looked at Luke puzzled wondering why Luke was so angry. "About what?"
     "Katrina." Luke replied flatly.
     "What about her?" Bo asked.
     "Did you think that I would never out that you were going out with her behind my back, when you knew how I felt about her." Luke said.
     "What are you talking about, that is not true."
     "Stop lying Katrina told me everything." Luke said.
     "It is not true I don't even like Katrina." Bo said.
     "Yeah right." Luke replied.
     "Luke, I have never lied to you and I never would. I am telling you the truth there is nothing between me and Katrina. I wouldn't go out with the same person that you were."
     "Just shut up, I don't want to hear your lies."
    Luke came out of the flashback. "Bo wasn't lying. Katrina made all that up, Bo was telling the truth. I allowed Katrina to destroy my friendship with Bo. I  allowed her lies to turn me against him. It is all my fault that he left home." Luke thought sadly.
     "Luke?" Jesse said.
     "What?" Luke asked looking up at Jesse.
     "I asked if you would go to Atlanta today to pick up some tractor parts." Jesse said.
     "Oh yeah, sure." Luke replied.
     "I'll go with ya." Daisy said.
     As they drove to Atlanta Daisy started to think back to an event that occurred just before Bo had left Hazzard.
 She was working at the Boar's Nest and Katrina was talking about her and Bo's feelings for each other.
     "That ain't true. Bo would never go out with you, because you were going out with Luke." Daisy said.
     "Well he is and we are very in love." Katrina said defensively.
     "I don't believe that Bo would do something like that." Daisy said.
     "Well you can't control who you fall in love with and for us it was really love at first sight. We are connected at the heart."
Daisy thought she sounded so serious and that she did truly believe what was saying so she herself started to believe that Bo was going out with Katrina.
     Luke and Daisy reached to Atlanta and picked up the tractor parts that were needed to fix the tractor. Then they decided to do something shopping. They called Jesse to tell him that they'd be home later that day. As they were shopping Daisy thought that she saw someone who looked like Bo.
     "Hey Luke, don't that person look like Bo?" Daisy asked.
     "What person?"
     "Over there . . ." Daisy said then noticed the person was gone. "He ain't there now."
     "Maybe you were just seeing things." Luke said.
     "Yeah I guess . . . I was just so sure that it was Bo." Daisy said, her voice sounded sad.
Luke didn't say anything he wished as much as she did that it really was Bo and that after having looked for him for the past six months that they had finally found him.
     It was later that day and Luke and Daisy stopped at a bar and grill called Moon&Tree, there was live entrainment there the sign said: Bo Bryant, preforming live, two days only, last day today. Bo had dropped the Duke family name and had taken a new name. He no longer wanted use the family name at all. He used the name Bo Bryant for everything, even for renting his apartment. He was going to legally change it when he had enough money to afford changing his name.
     Luke and Daisy went in and sat at one of the tables and were trying to decide what to get as they listened to the music. It was a song that was written by Blue Rodeo "Dragging On"
