JR sat shocked as Wes Parmalee otherwise known
as Whyatt Haynes stood in front of him. JR's mind flooded back over
10 years ago when this man, now much older and frailer, had tried to
destroy the Ewing family by attempting to pass himself as Jock Ewing
and then one day vanishing.
"Its been a
long time JR" Wes stated
"So what name
are we going by now? Wes or is it Wyatt?" JR asked curtly.
Wes laughed "Just
call me Wes, Wyatt went down with that chopper" he stated
JR stood "I
might of guessed you would of been involved in this, I will just ask
you this outright...........did you kill my daddy?" he asked emotionless
Wes laughed. "Now
now JR do you think I would be standing here talking to you if I had?
Don't you think I would be headed right on out of here by now? "
JR stood silent.
Wes pulled up a
chair and sat down, and gestured for JR to do the same. At first JR
hesitated then he followed suit.
"What is it
you want Parmalee? Money? " JR asked.
Wes smiled slyly
"Always the same JR, just as your daddy described you"
"You know something,
you were on that chopper" JR stated abruptly.
"You forget
one thing JR, I almost died, I have no recollection of that crash, only
in my nightmares and I still have those nightmares, the storm, the rain
crashing down and then blackout. Nothing else. Do you know what that
does to a man?" Wes asked
"Do I care?"
JR replied "Don't expect any sympathy from me, not after the stunt
you tried to pull on my family"
"You shouldn't
of come here JR, you and your brother are in deep, but you are not just
dealing with one person here. Maybe Ramirez can help you, but there
was more going on in down here then drug peddling and these people wont
stop at anything to keep things quiet" Wes explained
"For a man
with no memory you sure as hell remember a lot " JR stated
"This isn't
Texas JR, this isn't your playground, other people make the rules and
if you break them you are a dead man. If you don't believe me then why
not talk to your friend Lee." Wes stated
"I may just
do that" JR replied.
"Well goodluck
JR, he's dead, his throat slit" Wes stated with a cold tone in
his voice.
A chill transpired
down JR's back "You're lying Pamalee"
Parmalee smiled
"Why don't you ring the Dallas Police department for yourself"
JR thought for a
moment "Right now my head is spinning with questions for you, but
I really want to know right now is why? Why are you here? what's your
connection?"
Parmalee looked
stern, his beady eyes pieced into JR.
"To help you
JR, whoever killed your daddy destroyed my life and right now you need
me" Wes said with much passion.
JR sat forward "How
do I know I can trust you?" he asked
Wes sat back "You
don't. But right now J.R I don't think you have much of a choice"
Bobby
was horrified at the scene he had just witnessed. Ramirez sat infront
of him, the dead body of Angelina lay motionless on the floor.
"Shame about
the girl but she knew a little too much" Ramirez stated.
Bobby stood in stern
silence "You cant get away with that" Bobby stated.
"Oh Mr Ewing,
I can, perhaps slightly uncivilized and looking at her now a little
messy but in all honesty she wont be missed and there is not a great
deal you can do about it" Ramirez said bluntly lighting a cigarettes
offering one to Bobby
Bobby shakes his head breathing heavily
Bobby took a angry
stance and walked forward
"Now listen
to me, you smooth-talking son-of-a-bitch! If this is all supposed to
scare me then maybe you are doing a good job but lets cut the crap and
get down to what you want and what this is all really about"
Ramirez took a drag
on his cigarette sending a cloud of smoke into the dry air.
"Mr Ewing there
is no need to get so uptight. I haven't threatened you. The way I see
it we are two grown men having a civilized discussion and I have no
intention of making a mockery out of this situation A man in my position
can't afford to be made to look ridiculous and Im sure a man in yours
has similar sentiments. So we will discuss this, we will talk. I will
tell you what you need to know and in return you will do as I ask"
Bobby stood silent,
Ramirez laughed
"Don't look
so worried Bobby Ewing, If I wanted too kill you, you would already
be dead" Ramirez stated there was a pause "Now sit" he
stated harshly.
Bobby thought for
a moment, then sat himself down in front of Ramirez
