[QUOTE="stevew, post: 26280, member: 130"] Lucy rides out to section 40 with Mateo. Getting off her horse she says, "Thank you for coming with me." She looks around the remains if an oil derek. She looks puzzled and the bends down to pick something up. It's a string. Pulling on it a box comes up from under ground. She sits down and finds it full of Jock and Miss Ellie's personal things, jewelry, love letters, picture. A book of poetry signed with love from Digger. Ewing Oils first ledger book, hand written. A picture identified on the back as Jason and Jock as little kids with their parents. A silver rattled engraved with Southworth. Birth certificate. Marriage certificates. A gold mind of family history. A note says, "Lucy, please make sure one of my grandchildren appreciate all this junk like you and me. Make sure they know who your grandma and grandpa were and who I was. Don't sugar coat it. Tell it like it is. I don't want to be forgotten, birdies in lies no matter how sweet they are. This is the end of my master piece. Keep this family together. Love, you Uncle JR." John Ross and Pamela walks out to where they're rebuilding the Rec House at South Fork. He says, "Just a bit higher then before, but otherwise an exact copy." "I agree. Even taller." "I went for a ride with Beau the other day. Look around you know. We've gotta find that boy a girl to settle down with. And get him to build a house here nearby." Laughing Pamela says, "Lucy said the same thing." Beau gets up from lunch at the bar of the Whole-in-the-Wall. He says to the pretty waitress, "Ready to go?" "You're gonna get me in trouble." "But you'll enjoy the trouble now don't you darlin'?" John Ross looks up from his desk as Chris walks into his office. "So I was thinking. Things at Bodhi are progressing nicely without me and word on the street is you're putting a bid together for a lease in Mexico's deep Gulf waters." "Been more then seven decades since independents could operate in Mexico, so of course I'm getting in while the getting's good." "What's it look like?" "Sixteen operators and ten financials have already qualified to bid." "And Ewing Oil's position?" "We've already been partnered with Pemex for the last couple years on another project. On this one we're partnered with CalcoHarwood and Lone Star with additional financial backing from the Del Sol Group, not to mention direct access to Wentworth Tool and Die's drilling technology and maybe your methane extraction process." "Who we up against?" "Word has it ExxonMobil, Chevron, Hess, BP, Shell, Petrobras, Grazneft. Names are still coming in. Word is Wendell Oil and Gas is searching for partners." "I want in." "For what?" "You find the play and I'll get you more out of it than you ever imagined possible. Make me Vice President of Technology Development for Ewing Oil." John Ross stands and offers his hand, "Alright, let's do it." The two shake. Lucy sits out by the pool with Emily going over the details of a fundraising event when three cars pull up one after another and then walking up from the drive way they hear John Ross, Pamela and Chris talking business. Pamela says she heard that Wendell has joined Grazneft and Yau Tei." "Haven't heard of Yau Tei." "A pretty new Hong Kong Investment company. I'm still looking into their backers." Lucy asks them, "So how was work?" John Ross begins to tell her about the project the three of them are involved in together regarding Mexican leases and that David Wendell is also getting into the game. Lucy comments how Andrew is traveling with Zack. Emily says "I guess that might explain why my Aunt Ava's in town." "Whats this Aunt Ava?" John Ross asks. "My father's sister. Always been bad blood. They, my father and Uncle Andrew, bought her out after my grandfather died. Was always a bit of a family issue over it." Lucy says, "I'd say more than a bit since the law suits took the better part of a decade between the four siblings." "So why would he enlist his sister's help if they slugged it out years ago, if that's the case here?" Chris asks. "Better question, what sort of help could Ava Wendell provide?" John Ross interjects. Chris lays in bed with a gorgeous blonde. Holding her he says, "How was that for a thank you for getting me all that wonderful information out of Wendell's office?" She hums her appreciation. The FBI agent says to John Ross, "We've tried but we can't make a case oh of it to go after Dmitry Sechin or Dia Long. We've arrested the people they hired to plant the explosives. The cases are slam dunks. But theirs no touching those two." "Then I expect to get some leniency when I have to deal with them." "No worries there. Do what ever you have to do Mr. Ewing." "You can bet I will." [/QUOTE]
