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
