Message: <blockquote data-quote="Karin" data-source="post: 70497" data-attributes="member: 57167">The next morning at the hotel in Houston. Bobby was already in the shower when Pam woke up. Pam got out of bed and put on her robe. Then she picked up the pile of clothes that they’d left on the floor last night. Pam smiled as she remembered how she and Bobby had spent yet another night making passionate love. However her smile faded away when the contract fell out of Bobby’s suit pocket. Pam hesitated for a moment before she decided to have a look at it. She was not really snooping. She was just looking out for Bobby’s best interests. But as Pam read the contract she looked concerned. After getting to page two of it she called out, “Bobby!” when there was no answer, she walked over towards the bathroom door and walked into the bathroom. “Bobby,” she repeated.Bobby turned off the water and peaked out through the shower door, “Good morning,” Bobby smiled. “Would you care to join me in the shower?” “No and it’s not a good morning,” Pam replied.Seeing the concerned look on her face Bobby realized that something was wrong. “What’s the matter?” Bobby asked, as he stepped out of the shower and grabbed a towel “Is something wrong with the kids?”  “No it’s not the kids,” Pam said. “What is it then?” Bobby asked. “Here, read this,” Pam handed Bobby the contract.  “What is it?” Bobby asked as they stepped out of the bathroom.“Guzzler’s contract,” Pam informed Bobby as he started to read the papers.When he got to page two of the contract Bobby was disappointed. He had suspected that Guzzler might be in trouble and he didn't mind helping an old friend. But there was a limit even to his good will and Guzzler had really pushed the envelope with this deal. “Damn! This is one hell of a rip off!” Bobby exclaimed as he rushed towards the phone.  “Who are you calling?”“The bank, I’ll better have that check stopped,” Bobby explained, as he called up Cattleman’s bank in Dallas. Once he got his banker on the phone he said. “Oh yeah I’m calling about a check I wrote last night…yes it’s the one to Taylor Bennett…I was wondering if you could have it stopped immediately?” Bobby’s facial expression got even angrier when he listened to what the banker had to say. “What do you mean there’s nothing you can do?” Bobby yelled. “Oh I’ll see, oh well thanks for nothing” Bobby hung up the phone.  “Let me guess it’s already been cashed in?” Pam asked. “You’ve got it. Damn it! How could Guzzler do this to me?” Bobby said angrily. “I mean I thought he was my friend.”“Well I’m sure that he was, but that was 25 years ago and people changes Bobby…”“Yeah but that man was like an older brother to me Pam. Never in my wildest imagination could I have imagined that he would sell me an oil company with 20 million dollars in debts…”“Yeah and don’t forget that its only asset is one oil field that produces 1000 barrels of oil a year!” “Don’t remind me,” Bobby sighed.“I’m sorry Bobby,” Pam said. “But you really should have read the papers before signing.” “Oh yeah, I wish I had listened to you now. Seems like you were right all the time,” Bobby sighed. “But how could you know that I should have read them?” “Oh I don’t know call it female intuition.”Bobby made a face. “Don’t give me that crap.”“Alright then, let’s just chalk it up to experience,” Pam amended.“But I don’t get it. I have more experience of the oil business than you do and my daddy always told me that the best deals are the ones that are made with just a handshake.” “Bobby a lot has changed since Jock’s time,” Pam reminded him.  “I guess you are right, but I still don’t understand how people can be so rotten.” “Well I guess it’s just me and you that are too honest huh?” “What’s wrong with that?”  “Nothing except that others takes advantage of us. Like do you remember that letter Katherine read you?”“Yeah it's not something you forget,” Bobby sighed, “but what does that have to do with anything?”“Well everything,” Pam paused before explaining. “You’ll see if I had read the letter before signing I wouldn’t have signed it.”“I see,” Bobby sighed.“So yeah let’s just say that after I realized that my own sister had fooled me in order to break up our marriage I knew that you can’t really sign anything without reading it first.”“You’re right. I can see why Katharine taught you not to trust people after what she did to us.”“Yeah but let’s not forget about JR’s role in all this…”“Oh damn it! I almost forgot about JR!” Bobby exclaimed. “I mean how am I going to tell him I’ve made the worst deal ever?” Bobby frowned. “He’s going to be pissed.”“Oh I wouldn’t be too worried about JR if I were you. I bet he’ll find some poor sucker to re-sell the company to and still make a profit.”“Yeah I guess you’d better call Cliff when we get back and give him a fair warning,” Bobby joked.Pam patted him on the arm, “Oh Bobby you’re horrible. I mean this deal is such a stinker that even Cliff will see right through it.”“I guess you’re right” Bobby said. “This deal really is that bad.”“It is,” Pam nodded before she suddenly cracked up laughing.“What?”“Oh I was just imagining JR’s face when he finds out,” Pam laughed and although Bobby was not looking forward to tell JR about the news, Pam’s laugh was contagious and soon Bobby was laughing too about the whole absurdity of this deal gone wrong…</blockquote>
