Tracy and Margaret sat at the roadside of a busy shopping area watching people walk up and down.
"Ok watch me ok" Tracy said.
"what are we doing?" Margaret asked.
"When I say, we run like the wind ok?" Tracy stated.
Tracy ran across the road. Margaret watched but lost Tracy in the crowd of people. Suddenly Tracy ran back carrying something.
"RUN" she yelled at Margaret.
Margaret jumped up and followed Tracy as the two girls ran with all their energy. Finally they stopped in safe area and Tracy fell against a wall gasping for breath, in her hand was a bag. She opened it and pulled out a purse and threw the bag down. Tracy took out a bunch of money and credit cards.
"What the hell is this?" Margaret asked.Tracy smiled "Robbery Margaret, isnt it obvious. Tomorrow will be your turn. Sal has about 20 girls working for her, its a very organized business, we get a cut and so does Sal"
Margaret is almost lost for words "Im not doing that, no way."
"Well good luck Margaret, not only will you have to try to survive alone on the streets, but saying no to Sal is not a good idea."
Tracy explained lifting up her shirt to reveal some very heavy bruising.
Margaret stood in silent shock.At Southfork Ranch Lucy , Bobby, Pamela and JR sat in the living room. Christopher and Becky walked in.
"Seen my son "JR asked Becky.
"No why has your tracking device ran out of batteries?" Becky asked sarcastically
"Not now please Becky" Bobby asked.
Becky rolled her eyes.
"Whats this about? "Christopher asked.
"Grandma wants to speak to us all" Lucy explained.
At that moment Miss Ellie dressed in a refined manner walked in. Her presence filled the room with an ore of respect and power.
"Im glad you are all here" she said then noticed Ray was missing
"No Ray?" she asked.
"Donna turned up momma, to discuss Margaret" Bobby explained
"of course, that poor girl" Ellie said softly.
"So whats this about Momma?" JR said cutting to the point.
Miss Ellie sat down in her chair to address the family.
"This is obviously a difficult time and stirred many memories for most of us" she glanced over at Becky who shifted uncomfortably in her chair
Ellie continued "Jock was a strong man, a man we loved and I wont rest until those responsible for this death are brought to justice and I am not interested in excuses and whatever it takes we must do. Is that understood?" she said coolly.
JR nodded , Bobby looked at Pam then back at his mother and nodded.
"I spoke to the Police department and they have released Jocks remains and I have requested that he is brought home to Southfork. It will be a dignified ceremony for family and friends. I have spoken to Gary and he and Valene will return to Southfork as soon as its all arranged. The whole family will be there to finally say good-bye to Jock"
Miss Ellie stopped and there was silence in the room. Ellie stood up and walked out of the room.
The family sat in silence. Miss Ellie walked into the kitchen and sat down at the table and began to cry as her emotions were stirred.
Sue Ellen stood in her living room with John Ross, they hugged as they both stood at the door."I'll be back later mom ok" John Ross said reassuringly.
Sue Ellen nodded and smiled uncomfortably.
"It was an accident, you have to remember that" he said.
"I know, I know" she said. "Well I'll see you later" she finished.
John Ross smiled and squeezed his mothers hand and left. Sue Ellen watched from the door, finally closing it and looked around the room and sat down.
She walked over to the phone and picked it up and poised to dial as the door bell rang.
Sue Ellen looked up replacing the handset and walked over and opened the door."Cliff" Sue Ellen stated rather shocked to see Cliff Barnes standing there.
"Hello Sue Ellen" he replied with a sympathetic smile.At one time, almost a life time ago Sue Ellen and Cliff had been lovers. A love affair based on revenge and anger but also a mutual knowledge of being the victim of JR Ewing.
"Can I come in?" he asked.
Sue Ellen opened the door wider to beckon his entrance
"Can I get you a drink?" Sue Ellen asked.
"No no I'm fine, I heard what happened with the girl. Im so sorry Sue Ellen, I thought perhaps right now you could do with a friend." He asked.
Sue Ellen looked down vulnerable. "Thats sweet of you Cliff, and yes right now I feel like Im going out of my mind. Just before you arrived I was going to try and contact the girls mother. I just wanted to apologize, say something, I don't know. How can you apologize for what Iv done"
Cliff walked over to Sue Ellen. "I know its hard Sue Ellen, but I dont think thats a wise thing to do. I know its a cliché but time will help, its a terrible accident but not your fault"
Sue Ellen pulled away. "I keep running it through my head, over and over. I feel so confused. Accident or not. I killed that girl. I killed that child and I dont know how I can live with myself"
Sue Ellen stood trying not to cry, Cliff placed his hand on her shoulder. "It will be ok Sue Ellen, just give it time"
At the Police department in Braddock a police officer sits at his desk , a female Officer walks over and hands him an envelope.
"These are the results back from the lab of a Mrs Ewing, Sue Ellen Ewing" she said.
He looked up from his desk. "Great been waiting for these" he said, opening the envelope.
