Message: <blockquote data-quote="Karin" data-source="post: 87394" data-attributes="member: 57167">At Ewing Oil, in JR’s office were Bobby and JR sitting in a meeting with Luke Nelson, who they were trying to sell a field to. “So are you interested in buying the field?” JR asked.“Well it does seem to be a very good field,” Luke replied.“It is, it has much crude left,” Bobby said.“So why exactly are you selling it?” Luke asked.“Well we’ve expanded a little bit too fast and need some cash, for our new investment,” JR explained.“Sounds logical,” Luke nodded. “And you’re in luck. I’m actually looking for a new field right now.”“So you’ll buy it?” Bobby asked.“Yes you’ve got yourself a deal,” Luke grinned.“Well good,” JR grinned back and they shook hands.Bobby also shook hands with Luke before he said, “Then I’ll draw up the paper work and cable it over to you until tomorrow.”“That would be good,” Luke nodded. “Nice doing business with you.”“Likewise and who knows maybe we could do more business in the future,” JR grinned.“I’d like that but I’m not sure the cartel would approve,” Luke replied.“Why not?” Bobby asked.“Yeah we just closed a deal with Marilee two weeks ago, so I’m sure she wouldn’t mind…” JR insisted.“Well Marilee’s not the one I’m concerned about. It’s that new fellow, Barnes who…”“Hold on,” JR interrupted Luke. “Are you telling me that Cliff Barnes has joined the cartel?”“Yes and I have to tell you, I don’t quite like the man, he seems obsessed with revenge and I think he’s bad for business!”“You’re not wrong,” Bobby sighed.“Well Luke with Barnes in the cartel you’re gonna need other business partners more than ever, as believe me that man is a looser and if you don’t watch out he’ll drag you down with him!”“Thanks for the warning, I appreciate it,” Luke replied, before he picked up his briefcase and went on, “But I’ve gotta go now.” They shook hands again. “Okay bye now,” JR grinned. Luke then left the office and JR’s facial expression turned into a grimace as he turned to Bobby, “Thanks for the warning Bob!”“Hey what’s that supposed to mean?”“You know very well what it means,” JR snorted. “You could have told me that Cliff Barnes had joined the cartel!”“Well I’m just as surprised as you are.”“You mean to tell me that Cliff didn’t mention this when you had dinner with him this weekend?”“No he didn’t,” Bobby shook his head. “We just talked about Pam.”“Figures,” JR sighed. “That Barnes woman comes back into your life and you play nice with her brother while he turns around and stabs us Ewings in the back. But you’ll just wait if it’s a feud that idiot wants then it’s a feud he’s gonna get!” JR said grimly and Bobby sighed heavily, as he was sick and tired of being stuck in the middle of JR and Cliff in this ridiculous Ewing-Barnes feud.</blockquote>
