EPISODE 17: Part Three

Camden, London

A dark haired man in his early twenties walked into his home in the fashionable area of northwest London. He was dressed in a tracksuit and had obviously been out exercising and although his hair was wet with perspiration and he had mud on his sports attire he was still very handsome and had an air of assurance about him. Ian Reynolds had always got attention through his good looks and his charming personality. He flung his bag onto a near by chair and walked over to the open plan kitchen and to the fridge, taking out the milk he drank from the open carton gulping it down in one go, throwing the empty container into the bin he seemed unconcerned when his aim was out and the empty carton fell on the floor.

Moving back into the stylishly decorated lounge Ian began to take off his shirt, walking over to the window he pulled the lever to close the cream blinds to stop anybody looking in and then quickly removed the rest of his clothes. Decorated with cream walls and matching cream leather sofas and blinds the only colour in the room where several large colourful prints that decorated the walls. Down to his boxers shorts the young man hurled himself onto the expensive leather couch and causally picked up a magazine and then picking up some cigarettes lit up one and slowly inhaled.

After several minutes of flicking through the sports magazine and finishing of his cigarette Ian flung down the publication and stood up and began to shout the name of his lover. Hearing no response he left the room and walked up the stairs and across the landing to the doorway of his bedroom. As he passed by the bathroom he could hear the shower running. Walking into his room he immediately noticed the suitcase on the floor all packed and ready to go and he knew what it meant. He could feel a sinking feeling in his stomach as he realised it was really happening. In anger he kicked at the suitcase sending it hurtling across the room. Breathing deeply to try and calm himself he began to take off his boxer shorts and reaching out wrapped a hanging towel around his naked body and left the room and headed directly across to the bathroom.

Opening the door he stepped into the stream filled room and letting his towel drop he moved over to the shower cubicle. Opening the sliding door Ian stepped inside and slowly hugged his lover from behind. Suddenly becoming aware of the presence of another person and then feeling the embrace, the person in the shower stopped what they were doing and let their body relax into their lover's embarce. Feeling the caress of Ian’s mouth moving along their neck and the hardness of his excitement as he pushed his it against their body the other person dropped their bath sponge and turned round to face their lover. Falling into a passionate kiss Ian pushed his lover back against the wall of the shower and kissed him deeply the whole time stroking his soaped up body. Gradually turning them into a position against the flow of the water Ian began to move his body into that of his lover. Putting his hands up against the glass partition, with the steam of the water filling up the room and the sensation of his companions love making, Christopher Ewing gradually began to loose sense of himself and was completely lost in the heat of the moment.

The Harwood’s Dallas Residence

A knock at the door disturbed Holly from the quite day she was having listening to some classical music and catching up on her reading. As she heard the maid answer the door she heard a familiar voice, she quickly stood up and went to the entrance.

“Bobby.”

“Hello Holly I thought I would drop by and see how you are doing.” Bobby was slurring his words and talking rather to loud.

“That’s all Maria.” Holly said and dismissed the maid. Leading Bobby into the study.

“I would offer you a drink but I think you may have had enough already.” Holly said with a hint of amusement.

“I am fine my darling and I would love a bourbon on the rocks.”

Holly poured them both a scotch and then sat her self down next to Bobby on the sofa.

“I was hoping you would come around to see me. Even during the horrible circumstances it was great to see you again at the conference.”

“Good, I am glad you are glad to see me, and I want you to know that I am glad to see you again. You look amazing not a day older then when you left Dallas.”

Holly laughed, “Now I know you are drunk, but I am GLAD that you approve.”

“I see what I see,” Bobby said in a deeper tone.

Holly wasn’t quite sure what was going on but if she wasn’t mistaking Bobby was about to make a move on her.

“So how is Pam?”

“History!” Bobby said with a slight raise of his voice.

“Oh come on Bobby, you two are meant for each other, always where always will be. No women ever came close in your eyes.”

“Maybe I see things more clearly now. Did you know I remarried after Pam.”?

“I did hear something yes.”

“April Stevens, a lovely girl, a real sweetheart, killed on our honeymoon believe it or not!” Bobby laughed but there was no humour in the noise.

“She too was one of JR’s many conquest before we got together but I got over that and we loved each other. I loved her more then anything.”

Booby looked deep into Holly's eyes for a long moment.

“Like I say things change, people change, you see things differently with time and wisdom.”

Booby moved closer to Holly.

“See your mistakes more clearly, he mumbled as he lent towards her and placed his lips over hers before she had a chance to object.

Pushing him away slightly Holly looked hard at Bobby and then moved her self away slightly.

“Look I am not sure this is a good idea, to much has happened and you are obviously vunerable and in a bad place.”

“I am not vulnerable, I am strong and I am right were I want to be.”

Again Bobby lent forward and pulled Holly into an embrace, this time he slid his hand beneath her blouse and began to stroke her breast. Holly knew that this was wrong but she had wanted him for so long. As she felt Bobby become physically aroused on top of her, Holly felt her defences beginning to crumble. Bobby stood up and took of his shirt and stood before her, he was in great shape and Holly knew she wasn’t going to object.

Within moments they were both naked, Bobby laid Holly down on the floor and positioning himself on top of her and began to kiss her deeply. He caressed her body slowly and began to trace his mouth around her breasts. Holly lay back and lost her self in the sensation of Bobby’s mouth moving over her naked body. Finally she pushed Bobby on to his back and then straddling her self over him she brought their bodies together. As they began to move to a passionate and rapid movement any objections that Holly felt were long gone.

A remote spot, Mountain Creek Lake

Margaret lay listening to her iPod lost in the music, with the feeling of the sun beating down on her bikini clad body she swayed her head to the music.

She felt around next to her for her bottle of water all the time with her eyes shut, she suddenly felt the sun been blocked from her and opened up her eyes to see Dean back from were ever he had gone stood in front of her also semi naked.

“You’re blocking my view! I am trying to top up my tan here.”

“I thought you were going for the gothic look with your new black hair and pale skin,” Dean teased.

Margaret stuck up her middle finger and then turned over onto her stomach, moving her face away from Dean’s sight. He stood looking at her for a moment and then crouching down he picked up the disregarded water bottle and then slowly began to spill droplets of water on to Margaret’s naked back.

“Hey!” Margaret yelled a she felt the water. She jumped up and began to try and wrestle the water bottle away from Dean . Margaret finally managed to wrestle the bottle away from Dean’s clasp and proceeded to throw it’s contents over him. Throwing the bottle away she dashed away from him along the rivers edge with Dean in hot pursuit. Finally catching up with her Dean grabbed her from behind and with Margaret screaming and laughing he took hold of her hands and swung her around at arms length.

Finally the pair tumbled to the ground and began to kiss after several moments Dean pulled away from Margaret and propped him self up on one arm.

“We have to go, I have business to attend to back in the city.”

“What's wrong is once a day all you can manage!” Margaret mocked as she slowly let her finger trail a path across Dean’s thigh.

Dean grinned and shook his head.

“I have things I need to do.”

“Don’t tell me Lucy needs you to help her carry her bags on her latest shopping spree!”

“Now now, careful little girl, don’t be insolent.”

“Or is that you just need to reserve your energy for your marital duties.”

“Now that’s enough.” Dean said in a firmer tone.

“No, I know," Margaret said still ignoring him, "you have to go and sign on at the unemployment office. Well if it’s money you need, I am quite happy to pay for your services.”

Dean swiftly pulled Margaret by the arm, taking her by surprise; pulling her up towards him he shook her slightly.

“The green eyed monster is not an attractive trait my dear.”

Margaret tried too struggle to escape Dean’s grasps but he overpowered her. He flung her across his upper thighs and then laid a hand firmly across her buttock. Margaret screamed in indignation and again tried to escape from his clutch.

“The more you struggle the more you will be punished.” Dean said and again brought his down across her backside, this time harder.

After several moments of this Margaret finally began to stop struggling and just when he thought she had succumbed to him Dean stopped spanking her and began to cares her. From nowhere Margaret bit into Dean’s thigh breaking the skin, he yelled and let go of his clutch on her. Jumping up Margaret ran a few meters away from Dean and then yelled.

“That will teach!! No one gets the better of me, no one.”

Then under his watchful glare peeled of her bikini top, turning away from him and walking towards the lake Margaret let the bottoms of her costume fall away and then turning her head to glance seductively over at him she ran into the lake. Dean stood up and following suit, quickly removing his bottoms and chased after her into the lake.

JR’s room, Southfork

“No JR! We need to talk” Sue Ellen said

“We will, later,” he said

Sue Ellen rejected his advances and JR looked at her.

“What!” he said

“Our grandchild” she said

“Do we have to spoil the moment by talking about it”

Sue Ellen looked at him. She wanted him as much as he wanted her, but they had put off this conversation long enough.

“I need to know what you’re going to do,” she said

“I have told you I am going to get Becky here at Southfork and as soon as the baby is born I am going to pay that girl off and raise the child here where he belongs” he said.

“He?”

“Well he she you know what I mean, he is John Ross's flesh and blood and belongs here with us.”

“And how do you profess to get Becky to agree to all this?”

“You want to know?”

Sue Ellen thought for a moment, if the truth was known, she didn’t want to know his plans, she knew his way of getting what he wanted wasn’t pleasant.

“What are you going to do JR?” she asked

“Your going to get our grandchild, no matter what it takes, regardless of who gets hurt? ” she said

“Sue Ellen this is too dam important for you to try to be pressuring me to be some ‘rose coloured glasses’ version of myself here. If people stand in my line of fire, what do they expect?” JR said

Sue Ellen looked at her ex-husband. She loved him but there was a side to him that she didn’t like. The side she saw now, the person who would stamp on anyone who stopped him from getting what he wanted. She thought back to when they were first married and remembered the softer JR she fell in love with. He did have some good points but he kept them well hidden.

“I’m sorry JR, I just think that too many people have been hurt already,” she said.

“Look honey, I have given you my word that I will never hurt you again but I am what I am and some times in business or when it is appropriate I have to be tough and take what’s mine. You know that about me, hell I have seen you be the same way. Do you really want our grandchild raised by that drugged up no hope?”

“No but..”

“That’s why I don’t want to tell you what I’m planning on doing, just let me deal with it,” he said.

JR moved over to her and put his hands on her shoulder but Sue Ellen moved away from him.

“JR, there has to be another way. I except what you are saying, I love you despite of who you can be at times, but you can’t expect me to be the silent agreeing wife. I am not Jackie O and never will be. I am as strong and opinionated as you are and you have to accept that. I am never going to be the doting wife I was went we met, accepting your behaviour and ignoring it. But I do understand you more now and I know that sometimes you.. we both have done things that we have needed to do. But at the end of the day we need to be able to justify our actions to each other and ourselves, that’s what keeps us human. Let me talk to Becky and see if I can come to some agreement with her,” she said.

“What good is talking?” he asked

“Please, just give me a chance and let me see what I can do,” she pleaded

“And what if it doesn’t work, I want that child at Southfork Sue Ellen.”

Sue Ellen nodded in agreement.

“Well if I can’t get anywhere then we will decide together what to do next. I am not so wet behind the ears to know what kind of thing you have planned and if we need to take tougher action then we will, but together okay. ”

“Okay” he said, then in a husky tone “ now come here,” he said

JR held out his arms to her and she slowly went to him. He kissed her tenderly and they stood for a long time kissing each other passionately. Sue Ellen walked over to the door and quietly closed it then dimming the lights she stood at the edge of the bed and removed her clothes down to her under slip and then sat on the bed and looked seductively over at JR.

Moving over to her he slowly let his hand rise up her thigh and under her slip.

“What are you doing?” she asked, knowing exactly what was on his mind.

JR said nothing but continued to kiss her, Sue Ellen wanted him this close to her, she had missed him and she slowly began to kiss him more passionately. They began to remove each other’s clothing until there was nothing between them. JR worked his way down her body kissing every part of her until Sue Ellen thought she was going to explode. As they slowly began to come together all their problems seemed to disappear all that remained was the feeling of love they had for each other. There love making became more passionate until finally their bodies finally exploded in the passion of the moment. JR held her close as their bodies convulsed, as the moment began to fade and they relaxed next to each other, they continued to kiss slowly and peacefully.

“I love you” JR finally said “for ever.”

Sue Ellen kissed him again and they lay wrapped in a tight embrace, no longing needing words to show of they felt.

Dallas Memorial Hospital

Becky Barnes Ewing stepped off the elevator and walked down the hall to her fathers' hospital room. Cliff had finally been moved to a private room and Becky had been by his side every day. Her anger towards him for the way he had treated her mother had subsided considerably.

As she entered the room, she noticed the nurse was giving her father his weekly sponge bath. Still in a coma, Cliff was oblivious.

"Good morning, Mrs Ewing.” the nurse said cheerfully.

" Good morning.” Becky replied as she made her way to the chair beside her fathers bed.

" Do you mind if I read to Daddy while you work?"

"Not at all, Mrs Ewing. You go right ahead"

Mrs Ewing. That name made her want to vomit. It reminded her of her in-laws. JR Ewing had caused this to happen to Cliff, not her. She had finally accepted that fact.

She leaned over to the nightstand and retrieved her father’s favourite novel she had been reading to him, James Clavells' "Shogun".

She chuckled to herself and thought "You are so weird, Dad."

She had read a paragraph, when the nurse finished with the bath and redressed Cliff.

"Excuse me, Mrs Ewing. The doctor will be in shortly to check on your father."

"Thank you, so much” Becky replied, a slight smile appearing on her face.

"Your welcome, sweetheart."

With that, the nurse left the room and Becky continued to read aloud.

After about 10 minutes the doctor came in and proceeded with his daily check up of Cliff. Becky returned the book to the nightstand.

"Doctor, will my Dad be okay?" she asked with a slight quiver in her voice.

"Mrs Ewing I will be quite honest with you.” he said. "A coma is very hard to recover from, especially one of this type. The drugs your father took overwhelmed his body and caused his brain to shut down before the damage was too severe. I have monitored him very closely. There is activity in the brain because his pupils react to light. His blood pressure is fine and as far as I can tell not a lot of permanent damage has been done. I just can’t give you a definite answer, I'm sorry. I'll check on him again tomorrow."

With that, he left the room.

Becky stood beside her father and grasped his hand. Tears streamed down her beautiful face. Not tears of sadness and despair, but tears of hatred. Hatred for one man, JR Ewing.

As she held Cliffs' hand, she spoke softly.

"He will pay for this, Daddy. I won't let JR get away with this. The Barnes-Ewing feud is alive and well. Damn all the Ewing’s!"

Just then, the child inside her kicked and almost sent Becky to her knees. The pain overwhelmed her, the realisation that the baby in side of her was half Ewing wasn't lost on her and she began crying uncontrollably. Total despair had overcome her.

NIGHTIME SEVERAL HOURS LATER

JR stood next to the bed that Sue Ellen slept and where they had made love early. In his hand he held a picture of John Ross he looked intently at it and then over at Sue Ellen the expression on his face was unreadable.

Bobby silently dressed trying his hardest not to awaken Holly who was asleep on the floor next to the roaring fire. As he pulled on his jacket he crept from the room without a backward glance.

Pam sat alone in her bed with a glass of wine in one hand and an unopened book beside her. She lent over to the bedside table and took out a small brown bottle. Taking out a several tablets she swallowed them without water the way what she had become accustomed to doing whilst in prison.

Ray was stood at the edge of his bed, the house was silently and he began to struggle to move across the room with the use of his crutches, when he finally steady himself he left the room and made a slow, painful descend down the stairs all the time trying to be as silent as possible. When he finally go to his destination he stood several minutes and then finally turned the key to the cupboard he had been making his way to and removed what he had been searching for. Ray stood silhouetted by the moon, he steadied himself on the desk side with one hand as he moved the other hand up on which he held his pistol and brought the weapon towards his head.

A Condor in Dallas

Katherine glared at the person in front of her.

"I never told you to kill anyone!"

"You told me to reunite the feud between the Ewing’s and Barnes and that’s what I did."

"But I never said kill anyone dam it."

"The Ewing’ have almost been destroyed by what I did. JR is a shadow of his former self, he and Bobby are at loggerheads, Miss Ellie has left town again. Cliff is out of the picture, Bobby and Pam are separated and the Barnes and the Ewing families are out for revenge. You got what you wanted!

Katherine paused, she knew what was been said was true but this isn’t what she wanted now, and it wasn’t how she felt.

“Look, I said cause trouble but you went to far. I want you out of here and out of my life.”

“Oh no, no you don’t. Don’t think you can just dismiss me now that you got what you want. I want what is owing to me.”

“Well I haven’t got it.” Katherine lied. She knew that any money she had she needed to keep to help Becky with her fight against JR.

Katherine’s collaborator took a step towards her and then suddenly with a swift movement of his arm hit Katherine with his fist, as it connected with her jaw she moaned and fell backwards.

“Keep away from me you sick bastard” she yelled “ Isn’t it enough you killed John Ross and your own brother!”

Dean Hillman stepped towards Katherine again and this time let his foot connect with Katherine’s abdomen. As he kicked her several times he could feel a rage boiling in side of him. All his life he had being betrayed and this time he had gone as far as he had ever dared. He had killed two people and still it wasn’t enough to get what he wanted, what he deserved.

Katherine struggled away from Dean,crawling away from the blows, she pulled her self up and tried to grab a near by vase to throw at him. Dean was too quick though and again he over powered her and pushing her against a wall he again began to shout at her.

“You betrayed me, I did what you said and now I want my million dollars.”

“You are lucky I don’t report you to the police for what you have done.” Katherine’s snapped back all the time struggling to get away from him.

“But the police have caught the murderer and the case is closed. It looks like someone was willing to do anything other then see Christopher and Pamela go to jail. So I am in the clear, there is nothing you can do, no evidence.” Dean laughed agitatedly and went to hit her again, this time Katherine freed her hand in time and scratched at his face.

“You Bitch,” He yelled.

“You are not getting a penny from me, you murdering son of a bitch.”

“My mother may have been a bitch but at least she wasn’t a cheating whore like you. I am going to teach you a lesson you are never going to forget, no one double crosses me and gets away with it.”

Katherine laughed nervously as she continued to back away from him, trying to work her way towards some type pf weapon. Dean was too quick however and again he was on her and wresting her to the ground. He pulled her to the floor and positioned himself on top of her to subdue her struggling then close to her face so she could feel the spit from his mouth when he spoke he said

“you are going to be sorry you fucked with me.”

Dean then began to rip at Katherine’s clothes as he began a serious, sexual, violent assault upon her.
