[QUOTE="stevew, post: 63737, member: 130"] A glass tower cuts the skyline of Dallas. By the door a sign reads, 'Wendell Energy.' Off the elevator steps Gabi. The receptionist greets her. "Good afternoon Miss Wendell. Your son is in a meeting . . ." "No worries. I'll surprise him." On the front of a door it reads, 'Jeremy DelSol y Wendell, President.' Gabi opens the door and says, "Marty." A handsome Hispanic man turns from looking over blue prints to speak curtly, "Gabi." They kiss cheeks, forced my Gabi. "How are are the DelSol's?" "Just fine. Soumaya sends her love." "No doubt with knives." "No doubt. But Jeremy here, she wishes him well." "Of course. The whole family does. Regardless of what my father's will says or some paternity test, they're my brother's sons." "Mother is there something I can help you with?" "No I was in town and just thought I'd stop by and say hello to my favorite brother-in-law." "Well now that you have, can we crack on? I've got a meeting later today with EO and we've got to make sure we're ready." "Oh. With John Ross?" "Marv Anderson. We're looking to build a massive new refinery. Which is damn near impossible, but with the financial backing of the DelSol Group and JRE we're gonna pull it off." "Well let me know if you need my help. I have many friends finical markets." "I've got this. You know who could use your many friends is Ben. He's opening up his restaurant later this week." "Oh I'm already on that. I'll have the place packed. Will you be there for the opening, Marty?" "Of course. Soumaya and Antonio as well." "Oh how nice. And Marta?" "She's in Europe." "To bad. Her and I always got along so well." John Ross walks through the Wendell's yard to the pool where Amy come out of the water in a string bikini. "Something I can help you with?" He hands her a letter, "Please give this to Gabi." Drying off and then taking it, "Sure. Would you like to stay for lunch. I'm having salmon." "No thank you. Just make sure she gets that. It's from my father." Amy puts herself against him; her hand rubs his crotch. "Stay and have lunch with me." His eyes rolling back in his head. He then backs up. "Just give her the letter." Amy laughs, "If you're sure." "My son and grandchildren deserve better than you." "Oh come on. Please. You're son. Since when? Jeremy DelSol is a half wit. Since when were you a half wit?" John Ross studies her. "You're right. I'm not a half wit and neither is my son. But you are. And a gold digging whore. Just give that to Gabi. I bet she won't be too pleased if you don't." John Ross walks away. Amy watches him with a grin. Ellie sits on the ground by JR's grave. "All those years you spent hidden away in the nursing home plotting. I still remember the first day I meet you. I was at a riding camp in Virginia where momma use to go as a kid and there you just showed up and introduced yourself. Our secret you said. I hated Bobby right then and there. I know you didn't mean for me to hate him, but when you told me about your battle for Ewing Oil with him, I couldn't understand. No way would I ever fight John Ross like that. I didn't care what your will would say. He was my brother. They hurt you bad daddy. You never told me you took care of Gabi Wendell. What a bitch. It must have been an awful burden to sit in the nursing home knowing that secret. He's still a Wendell, but I promise you he'll be a Ewing. I've got to get rid of that Amy Anderson though. You were wrong about her. She doesn't hate the Ewing's like Gabi but she not a good wife. She's a spoiled brat. Things didn't turn out the way you thought. John Ross didn't marry Marta. He married Pamela Barnes. And my secret trust fund in Argentina. I told him about. We share it. Along with JRE. We get along daddy. That part o know you'd like. All three of us. Bo's running a company John Ross set up with a bunch of CIA contacts and Bo's military friends. Branch Water. He's seeing Cliff's other child, Ben. Can't imagine all these Barnes would make you very happy. But like I said, I'll never fight my brother. Neither one of them." Sue Ellen watches the housekeeper and Pamela cook in the kitchen. "You sure you won't attend tomorrow's DOA meeting?" "Positive," Pamela answers. "You don't need me to explain the Foundation backing setting up an annual rodeo here at South Fork" "I suppose not. But I'd like you there when I explain we're partnering to raise money for Children's Hospital." "There have just been women I don't like so much." "Well no of course not. It's just, well all the woman at South Fork have belonged. Miss Ellie's mother, Miss Ellie, me. You could." "I could but with members like Gabi Wendell, I'd rather not." "That part I can understand." Pamela asks, "She does understand her father wasn't some saint taken advantage of?" "I don't know she thinks." "You know I never even knew him but I feel sorry for her late husband. Raising two boys that weren't even his. I don't know. Maybe it didn't matter." "Maybe not. It didn't to Carlos. He took care of them, but could you imagine having her as your daughter-in-law and then loosing your son like that? I don't know if I would survive losing John Ross. It's not the natural order of things." "That's true." Pamela considers somberly. "I'm sure her her other husbands are considering paternity tests. "How many other times was she married?" "I think three. I thought we were all going out to dinner, that restaurant Ben's opening up." "This is for the boys." "Ah. Miss Ellie's chili." Gabi rolls off a much younger man in bed, completely out of breath a sweaty. She composes herself and than says, "How long ago did we get you in Ellie's office?" "Three." "Finally its about to pay off. She'll take EO public and I'll be ready." She turns to her side and rubs his chest. "As long as you don't forget our arrangement." "You remind me often enough." Pamela walks into a restaurant busy with people rushing around to get everything just so. She finds Ben polishing glasses at the bar. He welcomes her and she mentions everyone will be in for dinner. She comments on how nice the place looks and he tells her he's always wanted to have his own restaurant, how much he likes have bf people around, entertaining. "The opposite of Bo, you know. He likes to be alone most of the time, in his quite little cottage." "I know. This is anything but his thing. But he'll be here for a little while." "Yeah. We'll all be here." "Is it true that Cliff Barnes is insane?" "I'm afraid he doesn't have a very good grasp on reality, no. I have him in a home in Mexico. It's a pretty place over looking the ocean if you want to visit him. He doesn't really know who I am." "Then he really won't know me." "He knows John Ross. He thinks he's his son. He loves to hear stories about him." "And Kathryn Wentworth as well?" "She's in a mental hospital in Switzerland." "Are you afraid that you'll . . ." "Very much so." "Pamela Barnes?" "Honestly no one knows what really happened to her. The story we got was fishy and we never did find her body. So I don't really know. There's also a lot of money missing. Who knows. She could be out there somewhere." "Can of scary to think about." "I try not to." "Pamela and Kathryn never had any children?" "Not as far as I know." "Are we the Cliff's only biological children?" "I guess that's as far as I know too. Kinda messed up. The Ewing's are pretty normal. JR was married twice, two kids with his first wife, one with his second. I did here there's another son, James Beaumont, from someone he knew when he was younger. Gary has three with Val, I guess he was married once or twice before remarrying her. And Bobby adopted one with out Aunt Pam. "Fairly normal I guess. Of course I though my family was as well." "The DelSol's. Probably are except your mother." "There is something about your mother. She certainly hates the Ewing's. As far as I can tell Jeremy Wendell was as much to blame for what went on as JR Ewing." "I'm sure you're right. One spent his final years in a home, the other in a prison. Was JR Ewing plotting the whole time he was in the home?" "Appears that way. My, I mean our, father sure hated him." "Everyone likes John Ross, he's got friends everywhere you turn." "Not everyone. His cousin Chris and him have this rivalry. And that kinda spilled over to Bobby. And your mother." "My mother doesn't hate him. She gives a good impression. You ask me, she's in love with him." "What?" "For as long as I can remember she's hated the Ewing's, but she'd always make up an excuse for John Ross. His father put too much pressure in him or his mother drank to much. She said his grandparents left him a lone with these monsters just to travel. And that Bobby tainted the family against him in favor of his son. She even said you used him." "Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black?" "I know what she did was wrong. But she loves him. In her twisted way. You said your father thinks he's John Ross's father." "That started about a year after JR died. A letter showed up explaining why he was. John Ross and Sue Ellen went down to see him. He insisted Sue Ellen tell him the truth. Sue Ellen got him into a nursing home. She's about the only one who visits him." "You don't." "He almost killed me and my children, Rebecca and Robert, he did kill them. They're buried at South Fork." "He set out to kill them?" "No but we were an acceptable casualty." "He really is ill." "He doesn't remember any of it." "I'd like to meet him. Do you think Sue Ellen would take me?" "Oh I'm sure. Don't expect much." A crowd starts to fill the restaurant, everyone thrilled to see the place. John Ross walks in talking to several old friends. Ellie says Bo couldn't get away, he's got an issue in New Mexico. Ben looks sad overhearing the news. Pamela says, "He doesn't do well with crowds, that's all. Really. This sort of thing really up sets him. I'm sure he'll be home when you get there. Now come with me and listen to Ellie babble on all night about this big new house she's planning." [/QUOTE]
