The bed was empty, but he heard water running in the bathroom.He walked to the closet and pulled out a fresh shirt and a clean suit. He laid it across the bed and walked to the bathroom door. He steeled his nerves, opened the door, and gasped when he was hit smack in the face by a wave of hot steam.He could barely see, the steam was so thick. He suddenly noticed the floor was wet. His eyes went to the bathtub and he saw it was so full that water was running over the side and soaking the floor.Then he saw her.She was lying, sprawled on the bathroom floor in front of the toilet.He moved to her immediately, sinking down onto his knees and gently shaking her. &quot;Sue Ellen,&quot; he whispered frantically. &quot;Honey! Wake up!&quot;He suddenly noticed the blood on the floor. He examined her closely. He saw the wound on her head, right over her right ear. There was so much blood. Her hair was soaked and matted with it. &quot;Oh Jesus!&quot; He picked her up, carried her to the bed and carefully laid her down. He picked up the phone and quickly dialed 911. &quot;I need an ambulance! Now!

I&#039;m sorry if I woke you. Sue Ellen has had an accident. An ambulance took her to the hospital. JR went with her of course. I&#039;m at the condo with John Ross.

[QUOTE="CryptCreeper72, post: 265628, 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 Thirty-eight: *** Sue Ellen took a deep breath and forced herself to look into JR's eyes.
