Back in Texas the night sky lit up Ray Lake Hubbard, just East of Dallas on the Trinity River, the vastness of 22,745 acres of water seemed to stretch on forever.

A partially clothed Becky looked over the edge of a Sailing Yacht, Balboa 26 imprinted on the side, gently cruised along the still waters.

"How deep is this?" she asked as as the breeze blew her long hair
Christopher who sat at the stern turned to her "Apparently at its max about 40 ft deep" he said smiling

Becky turned to him "John Ross loves this yacht, he's down here most weekends, I never get an invitation, told me so many stories about coming to Lake Ray Hubbard as a boy with JR, I don't think Iv seen that side of his daddy"

Christopher laughed "Well whatever you may think of JR he does love his son, myself and John Ross used to spend a lot of time out here, fishing and carrying on as you do. Sometimes we used to do things as a family, I remember a hunting trip we went on, I must of been about 8 or 9 at the time, John Ross hated every minute of it, he was more interested in caring for animals then killing them"

Becky sat up and tied her hair back, "Well I guess that changed" she said sternly

Christopher looked into Becky's eyes "We've had quite a night Becky......I don't want it to end"

Becky smiled "Do you regret it?" she asked.

Christopher shook his head "No, Iv wanted you for so long, I have feelings for you so strong and making love to you was everything I ever imagined"

Becky put her hand to cover Christopher's mouth "Don't say anything, lets just enjoy this time"

She took her hand away and they began to kiss.

Sue Ellen sat on the chair at her home, pills in her hand and several scattered across the coffee table in front of her. She looked down at them in her heartfelt misery. The silence was disturbed by a knock at the door. Sue Ellen looked up and ignored it. The knock came again. Sue Ellen ignored it once more and looked up from her chair as the knock came again. The persistence evoked Sue Ellen to get up, she walked over to the door and opened it slightly.

"Miss Ellie" Sue Ellen said surprised to see Ellie standing in the doorway

Miss Ellie smiled "Sue Ellen are you ok?" she asked.

"Yes......yes Im fine" she said softly.

Miss Ellie studied Sue Ellen for a moment and knew things were far from ok

"I have been phoning for a while Sue Ellen. I was concerned so I had one of the hands bring me over" Ellie said gently

"Oh I have been asleep, I didn't hear the phone" Sue Ellen replied

Miss Ellie took a serious tone "I have known you for a long time Sue Ellen, and I know many things about you, including when you are lying"

Sue Ellen did not respond , but her eyes overwhelmed with emotion.

"I think we need to talk" Ellie stated as Sue Ellen let her into the house.

Ellie walked in and spotted the pills. She turned to Sue Ellen
"Oh no Sue Ellen" she said in a whisper hugging her tightly

Ellie pulled away and looked directly at Sue Ellen who stood tearfully looking down

"What are you thinking? " Ellie asked

Sue Ellen did not reply

"Sue Ellen you are going to have to be strong now. You can't give up , you have a son who needs you and a family that loves you dearly" Ellie stated strongly

"I don't know how to deal with this, I don't know how to live with this, that girls face is imprinted on my mind, I cant sleep I just see her face, I can't live with this, the guilt" Sue Ellen said frantically

Ellie took Sue Ellen to sit down.

"I can't tell you how to feel and there is no point telling you it wasn't your fault, but I will tell you that you have to find a way to deal with this and that you are not alone Sue Ellen. I am here for you" Ellie said her eyes emotional

"Thank you Miss Ellie" Sue Ellen said in almost a whisper as she cried
Ellie hugged her again tightly

"That's ok Sue Ellen, you let it all out, Im going to be here with you. You shouldn't be alone tonight" Ellie said sympathetically

"I don't deserve this Miss Ellie" Sue Ellen said.

"Stop that now........you will get through this........I can promise you that" Ellie said.

The two women sat hugging.

Bobby sat in front of Ramirez, another man stood by the door holding a hand gun.

Ramirez sat forward "Now I think you know quite a bit Bobby Ewing, you know that I was involved in narcotics, that's no secret. That is why I was on the chopper that day when it went down, it was a good cover. As a pilot I could front the business for my clients, packed the chopper with the poppy, took it too its destination where it could get processed into heroin. I worked for some very powerful people. Now I call the shots but there are some people who don't want this whole business rehashed, for obvious reasons, some political"

Bobby sat forward "Why are you telling me this?" he asked

"I want you to understand that there are some very powerful people involved in this business, even elements of the Police are into protection" he gestured to the man by the door

Bobby shook his head "bad cops? Looks like you have it all worked out"

Ramirez poured himself a drink "Im not getting any younger but I don't want all this to come out. Not just for me Mr Ewing, you will put your life at risk, you are not just dealing with me in this situation, some people would assassinate your entire family and post you their still warm body parts as a warning to make sure you don't delve too much into their personal business. Which sadly Lee Evans has since discovered"

Bobby became alert "Evans is dead?"

Ramirez smiled "Yes very.........from what I hear someone found out he had met your brother, from what I hear they slit his throat then went one step further to remove his teeth, maybe a souvenir, or perhaps a sign that it was to stop him talking. (he pauses) Are you beginning to get the picture here Mr Ewing?

Bobby swallowed "Yes I am, but I don't like it. But you were flying that chopper, you have to know who killed my daddy? Are you telling me it was to do with this dirty business of yours? Is that why?"

Ramirez shook his head "Assumptions, assumptions. As I stated already I was on that chopper. There was a storm, I couldn't hear too clearly what was going on but an argument broke out between two Americans. I turned to intervene, a gun shot went off, at that point I could see we were heading straight into a light plane. We dropped suddenly like a piece of lead. I managed to get to safety and kept well out of the picture, as Im sure you can appreciate"

Bobby rubbed his forehead "And that's it? Nothing else?"

"That is all I can tell you. But we never had this conversation is that clear? You are looking in the wrong place for your daddy's killer, maybe you should look closer to home Mr Ewing. You can go now, but remember what I said, don't try anything, I promise you will regret it"

Ramirez stated in cold harshness that Bobby knew could be a reality

Bobby stood up has the man with the gun escorted him outside.

Bobby stood and put his head in his hands as the sheer horror of the situation dawned on him
