[QUOTE="CeeCee72, post: 305230, member: 5055"] I don't own any of the characters in this story and no copyright infringement is intended. This fic is an alternate timeline where the dream season wasn't a dream. It picks up after the last episode of season 9. *** Life Is But a Dream Part 32: *** Bobby tamped down the urge to rush the lab tech and run. It wasn't time yet. He needed to remember more. Pam was his wife. Christopher was his son. He had a brother named JR. And Sue Ellen was family. He thought he had other brothers. And wherever he grew up, there were lots of rooms...and horses - so many horses. But he still didn't remember his last name. He didn't even know where to start looking for his family. It wasn't time yet. So he sat docile and calm and let the tech draw his blood. "All done!" The tech said with a bright smile. "We'll bring in your meal now, Mr. Rice." Bobby nodded and attempted to smile back. He watched silently as the tech gathered up his tools and left the room. "My name isn't Rice," he growled at the closed door. "My name is Bobby." *** Mark hadn't said one word. He stood in front of the window and stared at nothing. "Start talking, Graison," JR finally lost his patience. "McSween and a whole army of cops are on their way over here. It'll go better for you if you tell us what you know instead of waiting for them." "Please, Mark," Pam pleaded. "Please tell me." Mark finally moved away from the window and walked over to sit beside his wife on the couch. He took a deep breath, steadied his nerves, and started talking. "I've been expecting this day to come since the day I found out Jerry was behind what happened to Sue Ellen." "You knew?!" Pam gasped, her hand flying to her mouth. "I know it's over for me.

"You need to get Harv to call his contacts at the justice department." "Agreed," JR nodded. "And Harry?" "Yeah?" "Kenderson is mine." "I can't have that conversation with you," Harry held up his hands. "But...I can wait a few hours before I try to pick him up." "Thanks," JR nodded. "What are you going to do about her?" McSween nodded at Pam. "Hell if I know," JR grimaced. "Get Graison booked and let me know the minute it's done." "Will do." JR waited until Harry and the rest of the coos cleared out of the house then walked over to sit down beside Pam. "Look, you're in shock. Hell, I'm in shock."
