They won’t have the resources to develop it on their own.  But don’t worry, it’s locked down.”“So there’ll be another family fight?”“I hope not, Aunt Anne.”  “So do I.  But how are you going to prevent it.”  “I don’t know if I can.”  “Of course you can.  You’re the head of this family now.  How are you going put a stop to this fight before it even starts?”  Jayden walks up out of the pool just as Balto approaches the house.  “Where have you been?” “I told you, I had some work to do.” “I know that but every time I text you, you ignore the where are you part.”  Jayden begins to dry off.  “I told you, I’m not gonna tell you where.”“That means it’s dangerous.” “Never mind that.  Did you get everything done I left you?”“Yes I did and I helped wean the calves.  Uncle Bobby helped me.  And we tagged them all.” “You won’t learn from anyone better around here.”  “I was scared something might happen to you.” “Nothin’s gonna happen to me.” “Promise.”“I promise.  Now I gotta go see your father.  And get dressed.” Jayden sashays around the pool,” I am dressed,” and lays out on a lounge chair.  “You know most ranches can’t just take of the afternoon to layabout in the sun.”Rubbing lotion on her tight, flat stomach she responds, “How awful to be most people.”  Balto chuckles and goes into the house.  In his study John Ross is going over maps when Balto walks in.  “How was Venezuela?”  “Excellent.  Made some new friends.  I see you printed out the maps I sent you.”  “You’ve covered the country well with red dots.” “The weapons we smuggled in will take them by surprise.”“DeLaVega?”“He’s on board.” “Even if he doesn’t know he’s on board.”  John Ross smiles. Adam says, “There’s no way around it, they want a bigger cut.  The whole point for them is a bigger return in their investment.  In an empty high rise office in Dallas Christopher looks around.  Adam continues, “You haven’t even shown us you can get the patent out from under Ewing Global.  This could all be for nothing.  Though I’ve got some people very interested in your car engine as well.  Those patents are yours?”“All mine.  I never signed any of that over to Ewing Energies.”  “Good. We can start there.  But I need to see something more concrete then testing sites that belong to Ewing Global.” “And I told you, I need sixty percent of the company.”  “I can get you a hundred percent, but that won’t get you any of the money you also say you need.”  Cindy looks on as they argue. In his study John Ross watches about the arraignment of J. Dorian Wendell and his massive legal team.  Questions are asked about the whereabouts if his wife, Elena, both forced out of Trident prior to its acquisition of Ewing Petroleum and Gas and renaming the company EwingTrident with Ewing Global, The Hercule Group and WhiteStone as its largest shareholders, and Bobby Ewing as its new chairman.</blockquote>
