[QUOTE="stevew, post: 32454, member: 130"] War tears apart Manama. Rioting takes to the streets. Russian jets fly overhead bombing civilians below. Buildings crumble. The Emir of Manama walks down out of a jet at Dulles Airport. Beau greats him, shaking hands and walking to a limousine. In his office at Trident George Demarest argues with David, "Do you have any idea what this cost us?" "My point is what it cost Ewing Oil." "I don't understand that. They knew what was happening and still jumped in with both feet." "Idiots." "Far from it. The Emir of Manama arrived in the U.S. safe and sound. They're saying ten of billions of dollars in cash and other assets held by Manama are still in his hands. The Russian government is backing his nephew in an effort to take control of the country while the Chinese are backing the rebels. The Chinese are the chief importer of Manama's oil." "Just as long as they tear the country apart and the Ewing's can't get at the oil." "And neither can Trident, but they can get at the Emir's nearly six hundred billion dollars in assets in the Manama Investment Authority." "How much?" "I don't know how much is tied up inside Manama, but I've heard maybe as much as eighty percent is outside the county. I'm sure whatever the fall out, he'll be holding a considerable share of that fortune." A military cargo plan lands at an Air Force base. Crates marked Manama and carried off by solders and put into trucks. Military plans land in the dessert of Manama. Soldiers rush out to get oil crew workers on the plan with rigs burning and smoking in the far off background. Liam and Pamela meet with a group of directs over looking the skyline of D.C. A man stands and says, "Welcome to the board board of the Manama Corporation." Don Lockwood and another man meet in John Ross's study. The man, with an American accent distinct from that of Don's, says, "Thank you for your help in destabilizing Manama. As far as the Emir is concerned you were honestly helping him speed up oil production so he could invest the money else where and in fact Ewing Oil took a hit." "A billion dollar hit." "As expected the rebels and other parts of the royal family disagreed with him. He's safe her in Virginia." "I know. My brother meet him at the airport." Don says, "The destabilization of Manama will allow its use as a staging ground for war with Russia and China on opposite sides. Russia backing their old friend the Emir's brother, who's promised to curb oil production and cut prices. China backing the rebels because they need the oil." The American man says, "With a raise in oil prices, Ewing Oil will find many U.S. and European companies paying more for your drilling technology in order to get at unconventional oil." John Ross smiles his big Texas grin. "My cousin had already in formed me. He got a call from Kazakhstan." The men smile at each other. Don says, "Good. That'll help us build on our relationship there." John Ross says, "Thus making Ewing Oil even more money." Don adds, "And putting more oil on the market to bring the price back in line where we want it." "In addition we sit on the oil and gas of Manama for a later date," the American says. "Your friend, Long An, he's been helping in the effort, playing with the Manama power grid. Has Russians scratching their heads." The three men laugh. Don says, "Now the question is David Wendell and Sergei Vaino. They'll enjoy a slight bubble in oil prices for a short while, but I'm not exactly thrilled by the game he's willing to play with the Russians." John Ross says, "Don't worry, I can handle him. Just like I got my men out of Manama." Don says, "I assume the Manama Investment Authority is still going to make good on your investment." "Of course. Why else do you think I helped bring the Emir and his friends over here? They can pay up for all the money we've got invested that's burning up on the ground as we speak." The men again laugh. Beau walks out onto the balcony of a hotel room in the tropics wearing towel and rubbing the ass of a very young, beautiful blonde in a white stink bikini. "So let me get this straight. Your grandparents were never married." "Heavens no," the girl laughs, "My mother like to get pregnant by rich men but only married men with titles." She stretches her neck back, her hair dangling, flirting with Beau. With one hand gripping her ass, he rubs her tight stomach with the other. "So your father is the oldest of Jeremy Wendell's kids?" "I guess you could say that. His last name is Wendell but they've never been around each other." "Well Juliette darlin' I might regret you seeking me out but right now I'm just gonna enjoy myself." Sitting at a lap top at his desk in their penthouse apartment, An dramatically hits a key and says, "Bam. Take that." Liam walks out of the bathroom ready for bed and says, "What are you up to?" "Let's just say I've scrambled a few brains." He laughs. The two kiss. John Ross watches the morning news in his study. "Bombings in support of the interim Manama government on behalf of the Russian government stopped abruptly last night. No word if a cease fire has been reached. The exited Manama government of Emir Zayed has refused to appear in front of the World Court regarding settlement of Manama's foreign held assets. Meanwhile China has called for sanctions against Russia's in protest to its blockade in the Persian Gulf." John Ross turns off the tv and walks outside to have breakfast by the pool. Sergei Vaino stands by a limousine that's next to a private jet. Juliette comes bounding down the stairs. "I meet up with Beau Ewing." "Excellent. [/QUOTE]
