Part two of this
extended episode
It
was early morning at Southfork.
Pam sat in the living
room with her arm around Christopher, Lucy sat opposite. Ray and Booby
stood next to Miss Ellie.
Sheriff Brogan and
his deputy Rawlings stood in the lounge after several hours of questioning.
Sheriff Brogan looked down at his notes.
"So Miss Wentworth
held Pamela Ewing here hostage with the intent to kill her, her son
Christopher arrived home, took the rifle after seeing Mis Wentworths
car parked in the roadway and the house in darkness, went up into the
kitchen where Pamela Ewing was being held, saw what was happening and
shot Miss Wentworth?"
Ellie walked over
to him
"Thats exactly what happened Sheriff" she said sternly.
"Ok Mrs Farlow,no
need to get hostile just trying to get the facts as they stand"
he replied looking at his deputy.
"Well you have
the facts and we`ve had enough, my family has been through a terrible
ordeal, like I told you my grandson saved his mothers life, now I would
appreciate it if you would now leave my family in peace and end this"
Ellie stated.
The sheriff nodded
and signaled to the deputy to leave.
"Well thankyou
all for your time" the sheriff said.
He turned to walk
away.
"What about
Katherine?" Pamela asked
The Sheriff turned
to her "shes out of surgery Mrs Ewing, shes in recovery now under
armed guards, shes not going anywhere and she wont be going anywhere
for quite sometime"
He walked outside
with the deputy.
Pam stood up and
hugged Miss Ellie.
"Thankyou"
Pam stated.
"Any news on
Afton?" Ray asked.
Bobby walked over
to Christopher "yes Cliff said shes doing fine"
Christopher got
up and walked out of the room outside onto the patio.
Pam walked after him.
"What a crazy
time this has been " said Ray said profoundly
Ellie nodded "yes
it has,but this is over now and John Ross has the all clear, I think
we should go ahead with the Barbecue next week as normal" she stated.
Lucy smiled. "Great,
I`ll get onto it"
Christopher
stood as a light wind blew his hair back.
Pam walked out to him.
"Hi" Pam
said.
Christopher turned
to her, his eyes tearful.
"I could of
killed her mom, when I saw what she was about to do......." he
said quietly.
Pam grabbed his
hands and looked at him seriously.
"You did what
you had to do, you saved my life" Pam stated.
"Im so sorry
mom........I was so angry with you, all those years I missed out not
being with you" He said, Pam interrupted him and smiled.
"Christopher,
I`m here for you, Im here now" she said emotionally.
Christopher hugged
his mother tightly.
"I missed you
mom, I missed you so much, " he said .
Pam hugged him,
stroking the back of his head. "I missed you too" she said
quietly
JR sat by John Ross`s
bedside. John Ross lay asleep.
"Soon son,
soon it will all be yours, Ewing Oil. I made you that promise long ago,
and now soon the legacy will continue.......a legacy which began long
ago. Soon.........." JR said quietly looking on at his son.
John Ross gradually
opened his eyes.
"Dad"
he said
JR laughed "Im
here son"
"Becky? Is
Becky here?" JohnRoss asked.
JR looked concerned
"No John Ross,
no shes not, its just me" JR stated.
JohnRoss lay back
again and closed his eyes.
JR continued to
watch his son then walked out of the room, Sue Ellen stood in the corridor.
"What the hell
are you doing here Sue Ellen? Haven't you got a company to run? Oh I
forgot you ruined that too, aren't they foreclosing on the loan today?"
he stated
Sue Ellen smiled
sarcastically.
"I`m here to
see my son JR and you can`t stop me" Sue Ellen grinned as two men
walked up next to her followed by Sue Ellens detective Monroe.
JR sniggered "I
see you brought your private army with you Sue Ellen, how nice"
"You went too
far this time JR, but I`ll have the last laugh" Sue Ellen said.
"I doubt that"
JR said.
Sue Ellen smiled
"I guess you haven't seen the papers JR, " Sue Ellen turned
to a page in the newspaper and gave it to JR.
"Looks like
someone or some people have brought a large amount of Westar stock JR,
perhaps you should keep your mind focused on your own business rather
other peoples" Sue Ellen grinned.
JR looked at the
paper and smiled "oh Im not bothered about this" he said calmly
walking off
He reached outside
the hospital and took out his mobile phone in a rage and rang a number.
"Its me JR
....what in gods name is going on? Someone will be on the block for
this"
he said in a rage
of anger.
Lucy
sat by the pool, looking thoughtful. Miss Ellie walked out over to her.
"You ok Lucy?"
Ellie asked
Lucy looked up and
smiled "Im fine grandma" she stood up.
"I was just
thinking, what should I do now" Lucy said
"What do you
mean?" Ellie asked.
"Well I didn't
plan on staying this long when I came home, and now Im thinking perhaps
its time I moved on" lucy said.
"Your not happy
at Southfork?" Ellie asked.
Lucy laughed "I
love Southfork its my home, but I feel like a loose end, just hanging
in here, drifting in and out of Texas, out of jobs" Lucy said.
"And men?"
Ellie smiled.
Lucy laughed.
"And men too....yes,
I don`t know grandma, I`m getting to a stage in my life where I feel
I have to make some decisions, some choices. I feel I spent my life
on what ifs and what might have beens" Lucy explained seriously.
Miss Ellie nodded
"are you talking about your mother and father?" she asked
Lucy smiled in an
uncomfortable way.
"I guess so,
I grew up here, I had everything, too much" she smiled and thought
for a moment.
"Then alls
I could think about was being part of a family, I guess I always felt
rejected, and now my mom and dad have their own lives,I have a brother
and sister I don`t even know, and Iv come to terms with the fact that
thats how its destined to be. We sit around here, surrounded by all
our wealth, power, we talk of legacies, that was mine, my legacy was
laid out for me. I guess somewhere in me Im scared to commit, I don`t
have a good track record do I? I just don`t know where I belong....................".
Miss Ellie looked
thoughtful.
The
Ewing Oil building stood tall as the morning sun reflected off its many
windows.
Sue Ellen walked
into the empty office. Peter Edwards from the First State Bank of Texas
with some of his collegues was waiting for her.
He walked over to
Sue Ellen.
"Im sorry Ms
Ewing, we have repossession of Ewing Oil, all assets are frozen"
he said.
Sue Ellen looked
him with contempt.
"May I remind
you the deadline for the repayment is at 11am, right now you are trespassing"
she said.
He laughed. "I
can wait Ms Ewing"
"I suggest
you do" she stated and walked past him, into her office.
The chair in her
office was facing towards the window, the chair swung around and JR
sat there smiling.
"Well hello
Sue Ellen" he said with a gleeful smile.
"You bastard
JR" she said viciously.
JR stood up and
walked over to her.
"Iv waited
a long time for this Sue Ellen, now its mine, all mine" he said.
"Not quite
yet JR" Sue Ellen said.
JR laughed.
"Don't avoid
the inevitable, you lost Ewing Oil and in a few moments I will buy back
Ewing Oil in its entirty from the bank, and then Sue Ellen I will make
Ewing Oil back into a power, into a compnay my daddy would be proud
of"
JR looked at his
watch.
"And if im
not mistaken unless you can come up with the money in the next 30 seconds
Ewing Oil is mine"
Sue Ellen walked
towards him.
"You can keep
it JR, I don`t care anymore, to quote you JR theres more than one way
to skin a cat" she said harshly.
"Is that a
threat Sue Ellen, because if it is Id think very carfully before hand"
JR said.
"Lets just
say JR, the fat lady as far from sang her last song" Sue Ellen
smiled.
"You can`t
touch me Sue Ellen, I am the biggest power now Texas as ever seen, ,
head of Westar, and now I have Ewing Oil back in my grip" He said.
"Well I suggest
you hold on tightly JR, your in for one hell of a ride" Sue Ellen
explained viciously.
"There may
be a few problems at Westar right now but I have my people working on
that as we speak, in fact Im going to have to go soon, after Iv tied
up all loose ends here" JR looked at his watch "which I think
has just happened." JR smiled.
Peter walked into
the office.
Sue Ellen looked
at him then at JR.
Sue Ellen walked
over to the banker and looked at him and smiled. The man looked back
at her confused.
"You know your
problem JR " Sue Ellen stated "you underestimate me"
JR sat down "oh
no Sue Ellen you underestimate me, but I don`t think you`ll be doing
that again" he replied.
Sue Ellen smiled
"we`ll see" she said and winked at him. She left the office.
Peter walked over
to JR and took out some papers.
"Just sign
here JR and Ewing Oil is all yours" he said handing JR a pen.
"Thats ok I
have my own" JR said taking a pen from his pocket "right.......,
now this all looks in order"
JR signed the paper.
Peter Edwards looked at the document and smiled and shook JR`s hand.
"Welcome back
JR " he said.
JR thanked him and
the two men walk out the office. The man leaves. JR stands next to the
doorway. EWING OIL is written on the glass in gold text.
