Get John Ross inside!&quot;Lucy pulled the terrified little boy out of the pool, wrapped him in her arms, and ran into the house.&quot;Clayton…&quot;He looked up and saw Ellie. &quot;She&#039;s shot,&quot; Clayton said grimly. &quot;In the shoulder.&quot;&quot;Is she conscious?&quot; &quot;No. I think she hit her head on the stone when she fell.&quot;&quot;An ambulance is on the way,&quot; Donna suddenly appeared beside them. &quot;We need to find JR.&quot;&quot;Right now what we need is to get everyone into the house!&quot; Clayton growled. &quot;I&#039;ll carry Sue Ellen.&quot;&quot;That&#039;s Ray&#039;s truck…&quot; Donna pointed out into the distance. Clayton looked up and saw Ray&#039;s truck barrelling toward the house at top speed. &quot;In the house!&quot; He said again, more firmly.They all hurried inside. Clayton laid Sue Ellen on the couch in the living room. Ellie hovered over her daughter-in-law. &quot;Jenna, take all the children upstairs.&quot;Jenna nodded and hustled Charly and Tony to the staircase.

She walked over to the phone and picked up the receiver, but dropped it and cried out in shock when Matt Cantrell suddenly burst through the door carrying a clearly wounded Ray.&quot;He needs help,&quot; Cantrell grunted under the weight of the other man. &quot;He&#039;s gut shot.

She was transfixed by the TV. Looked like a breaking news story. He suddenly recognized the exterior of the house at Southfork. The banner at the bottom of the screen said &#039;shots fired at home of prominent Texas Oil family.&#039;&quot;April…&quot;&quot;They said there was a body found, Jack.&quot;&quot;Oh no,&quot; he grumbled, reaching back for the phone. &quot;Dear God, no.&quot;***Harv Smithfield hung up the phone and rubbed his temples. The CIA was caught. He had managed to get the Justice Department to agree to force the CIA to hand over Richard Rice. The FBI would be taking possession of Rice shortly, then they would be bringing him to Dallas Memorial for medical testing and questioning.He looked through the folder JR had sent over to his office again. He still couldn&#039;t believe what he was seeing.&quot;Oh, Bobby. Could it really be you? Could you really still be alive?&quot;***&quot;I told you everything I know already!&quot; Matt&#039;s frustration was boiling over. &quot;Barnes asked me to come to Southfork. I ran into Ray.&nbsp; We saw the glare from what turned out to be a rifle scope. We tore ass across the field and saw that guy. &quot;&quot;Calhoun?&quot; McSween interrupted.&quot;I don&#039;t know who he was,&quot; Matt snapped. &quot;We saw him raise the rifle to shoot. Ray jumped out of the truck and tackled him. But a shot went off right before they fell. Then they were rolling around on the ground. A couple more shots. So I aimed the pistol and fired.&quot;&quot;You had the pistol on you?&quot;&quot;It was Ray&#039;s. He dropped it when he tackled the guy. Look, is Ray gonna be okay? And what about Sue Ellen?&quot;&quot;Mrs. Ewing was hit in the shoulder. The doctors are more worried about the bump on her head than the gunshot wound.&quot;&quot;And Ray?&quot;&quot;It&#039;s bad. That&#039;s all I know. Listen, we&#039;ll probably need to talk to you again. Don&#039;t go anywhere.&quot;Matt glanced towards the living room sofa where Jenna sat quietly crying and Charly and Tony looked to be in a state of shock. &quot;Don&#039;t worry,&quot; Matt sighed. &quot;I&#039;m not going anywhere. Someone needs to stay with them.&quot;&quot;Yes,&quot; McSween agreed.&quot;Does JR know yet?&quot;&quot;Yes. He&#039;s on his way to the hospital.&quot;&quot;And this Calhoun is dead?&quot;&quot;As a doornail. You got him right between the eyes.&quot;&quot;Too bad,&quot; Matt growled. &quot;A quick death is better than he deserved, and a HELL of a lot better than JR would have given him.&quot;****Where is she?!&quot; JR came tearing through the ER lobby with Pam close on his heels. &quot;Where is my wife?!&quot;&quot;JR, calm down. Sue Ellen is going to be just fine. She was only grazed in the shoulder. She has a slight concussion but she&#039;s awake now and coherent.&quot;JR almost collapsed with relief at Clayton&#039;s words. &quot;And the baby?&quot;&quot;Just fine,&quot; Clayton assured him. &quot;They&#039;re moving her to a private room. You can see her soon.&quot;&quot;Thank God...thank GOD!&quot; He took a deep breath then saw Donna and Ellie huddled together across the room. &quot;Ray?&quot;&quot;Shot twice in the stomach. Apparently he struggled with Calhoun and the rifle went off. JR… Ray saved Sue Ellen&#039;s life. If he hadn&#039;t knocked that maniac off balance before he got his shot off…&quot;&quot;Sue Ellen would be dead.&quot;&quot;Yes.&quot;&quot;Does Mama know about Bobby yet?&quot;&quot;No. I didn&#039;t have a chance to tell her before…&quot;&quot;Don&#039;t tell her now. Wait until we either know about Ray or know for sure about Bobby.&quot;&quot;Agreed. What about her?&quot; Clayton nodded his head at Pam.&quot;Shit. I forgot all about her. Give me a second.&quot;JR walked back to Pam and told her that Sue Ellen would be fine but that it was too soon to know about Ray. &quot;You want me to get an officer to take you home?&quot;&quot;Would it be alright if I stayed?&quot;&quot;Of course. Mama and Donna could use the support. But Pam - they don&#039;t know about Richard Rice and Bobby.&quot;&quot;I won&#039;t tell them, JR. I promise.&quot;&quot;Then you&#039;re welcome to stay. I&#039;d actually be grateful if you did.&quot;&quot;Thank you JR.&quot;&quot;Mr. Ewing?&quot;JR turned to see a nurse standing behind him. &quot;Yes?&quot;&quot;Your wife is settled in her room. She&#039;s anxious to see you.&quot;JR&#039;s whole face relaxed. &quot;Lead the way.&quot;***&quot;Do you understand what I&#039;ve said to you Mr. Rice?&quot;Bobby glared at the man in the FBI flack jacket and rolled his eyes. &quot;I understand just fine. But my name isn&#039;t Mr. Rice. You just said so.&quot;&quot;No. I said we SUSPECTED your name wasn&#039;t Richard Rice.&quot;Bobby took a deep breath and narrowed his eyes. &quot;My name is Bobby. My wife is named Pam. I have a son named Christopher and a brother named JR. There&#039;s a woman in my life named Sue Ellen that I care very deeply for.&quot;&quot;Well, well,&quot; the FBI agent sank back into his chair. &quot;It seems you remember a lot more than anyone realized.&quot;&quot;What&#039;s my last name?&quot;&quot;I don&#039;t think I should…&quot;&quot;TELL ME!&quot; Bobby roared.&quot;Ewing,&quot; the agent gave in. &quot;Your last name is Ewing.&quot;&quot;Ewing...Bobby Ewing….&quot; Bobby felt sick. Images and memories flooded his mind. He concentrated hard and pushed it all aside. &quot;My name is Bobby Ewing. And I want to go home.&quot;***Lucy opened her eyes and saw Jenna standing over her. &quot;Ray and Sue Ellen?&quot;&quot;Sue Ellen is going to be fine,&quot; Jenna sighed. &quot;Ray... they&#039;re not sure. How is he?&quot; Jenna nodded at John Ross who was sound asleep in his bed.&quot;Exhausted and scared,&quot; Lucy told her. &quot;As soon as he wakes I&#039;ll tell him his mama will be fine.&quot;&quot;Good,&quot; Jena hesitated. &quot;Mitch has called to speak with you several times. He saw it on the news.&quot;&quot;I don&#039;t want to talk to him.&quot;&quot;But Lucy…&quot;&quot;I need to concentrate on taking care of John Ross. Mitch can wait.&quot;&quot;Alright,&quot; Jenna conceded. &quot;I&#039;ll bring up some food for you.&quot;Lucy nodded but didn&#039;t answer. The truth was she wasn&#039;t hungry. Ray could die. And Bobby might still be out there somewhere alone and confused.She had no interest in food.And she had even less interest in talking to her husband.***&quot;Honey?&quot;Sue Ellen sat up gingerly so as not to hurt her wounded shoulder. &quot;Are you just going to stand there skulking in the doorway or are you going to come in here and kiss me?&quot;JR chuckled, walked into the room, and bent over the bed to place a firm kiss on her lips. &quot;You scared the hell out of me.&quot;&quot;Don&#039;t blame me for this,&quot; she sniffed. &quot;Every bit of this could have been avoided if you&#039;d just done as I asked, canceled that meeting with Angelica, and taken your family to the water park. This is all your fault.&quot;&quot;I know it is honey. And I am so sorry. If I could take that decision back...wait...Sue Ellen…&quot;&quot;What?&quot;&quot;That conversation...the day of the explosion. You wanted to take John Ross to the water park.&quot;&quot;Yes. And you told me to wait until after your stupid meeting.&quot;&quot;You...you remember that, honey?&quot;&quot;I remember everything, JR. I remember you insisting you were going to meet Angelica. I remember going to find you at Ewing Oil when you didn&#039;t come home. I remember the explosion. I remember being so hurt and scared and lost.&quot;&quot;Sue Ellen?&quot;&quot;I remember it all, JR. I remember how furious I was with you for continuing to deal with Angelica. I remember how hard headed you were about the whole thing. I remember how you kept downplaying my concerns.&quot;&quot;I didn&#039;t think...I didn&#039;t know…&quot;&quot;I remember all your women. I remember my sister. Holly Harwood. Mandy Winger. I remember your lies. Your scheming. I remember all the times you broke my heart.&quot;JR didn&#039;t say a word. He couldn&#039;t. He had feared this day for so long...the day Sue Ellen would finally recover her memories and know for a fact what a horrible husband he had been to her.&quot;Want to know what I remember the most?&quot;&quot;What?&quot; JR asked shakily, even though he was sure he didn&#039;t want to know the answer.&quot;I remember how much you love me, JR. And I remember I forgave you. I forgave you because I love you with all my heart. We forgave each other. And our love is stronger than it has ever been.&quot;&quot;Sue Ellen...oh, honey.&quot;&quot;Hold me, JR. I need you to hold me.&quot;JR sat down on the edge of her bed and gently took her in his arms. &quot;I love you so much, Sue Ellen.&quot;&quot;I know,&quot; she whispered into his ear. &quot;And I promise I won&#039;t ever forget it again.&quot;***</blockquote>
