[QUOTE="CryptCreeper72, post: 263378, 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 and features a totally different resolution to the "Who Shot JR?" plot. The timeline breaks at episode four of season four of "Dallas." *** Shot Through the Heart Part Twenty: *** "Sue Ellen!" Ellie got off the couch and hugged her daughter-in-law when she and JR came into the living room from the foyer. "It's so good to have you here." "Welcome home," Jock nodded at her.
