So just ask him.”  Ellie runs the cold glass along his well defined chest.  “I’m sorry about your daddy.”“I’m not.  Should have never went looking for him.  An embarrassment.  Some drunk locked up, gay for the stay bitch. Ran over a family of four and asked if I could smuggle him in drug.”“Your mother?”“You don’t really care to know, do ya?”“I wouldn’t have asked if I wasn’t at least curious.”“Curious ha?  The mattress of Midland.  Got screwed by ever redneck she could get her hands on.  Drunk most of the time.  Said I had fetal alcohol syndrome.  Whored me out for a fix once.” “What?”“You don’t need me to repeat myself do ya?”  “I don’t know what to say.”“Don’t say anything.”  He pulls off her shirt and takes off her bra.”   Early in the morning, before the sun comes up, John Ross gathers in his study with Mateo, Juan Carlos and Amy.  Looking at Mateo, “I looked over your list of Trident’s board.  Either dig deeper or put shit in their closets.”“I can, but I don’t see the problem.  We both know you plan on Paul running the company.”Juan adds, “With me pulling his strings.”Amy says, “I don’t get it.”“J. Paul Wendell knows what he’s doing.  He’s got the connections for the job and we’re just gonna strip the company clean as other energy sources come on line any way.  He also makes a good target for all those individuals pissed off at the death of oil.  Juan Carlos here has what we need to keep Wendell in check.  But he won’t take orders from a Ewing.  So he takes them from a DelSol.  I don’t give a shit.  Even with friendlier backers he’s still right where we need him.  We just need you to follow his play.”“So you’re fine with this arrangement?”“Hell darlin’ I set up this arrangement.  My daddy didn’t intend it to be a lesson but he taught me to never ignore the skeltons in your closed.  Deal with ‘em before your enemies deal with ‘em for you.  You got any skeltons need airing out?” Steven goes over plans with a lab technician in his office. “So that’s that.  One last go over and you sign off and we’re in business.  This one site should send the price of natural gas tumbling.   How’s the studies going at Michigan?”“They’re going.  I’ll be glad to have this off my plate and focus on nuclear.”“I get.  You’re bitting off a lot.  Not much time for yourself.”  “Well I keep busy, that’s what I do.”“Burning the candle at both ends.”“Something like that.  What are you doing after this is up and running?”“I don’t know.  Be asigned to another project by my firm.  Well, it’s a go?”Steven signs the paper in front of him.  “It’s a go.”   “We’ll be in touch.”  Steven studies him as he walks out of the room. John Ross sees Karin walk out of the pool at Southfork and says, “We really gotta get you a job.”“No thank you.”  Drying off she says, “With Amy so busy, I find myself handling all of the details of this wedding.  Should be pretty big shindig.” “Should be in deed.”“What about you. Everyone else is off at work any you’re still lounging around the house.”“Darlin’ I was up seeing to the ranch work and my morning meeting long before dawn.  I’m just headed out for round two.”“And what’s that.”“Checking on the ranch work.  I’m riding out to Henderson property.  Some issue with an oil rig they had to shut down and clean up.  Gotta make sure it was taken care of properly.  Join me for the ride?”“Alright.  Help me get dressed first?”  With a smirk John Ross follows her into the house.  Lucy walks with Mitch in a park in Dallas.  “No it’s not manipulating you.  Who better to oversee reconstructive surgery?  They asked for the donation.  We thought it was a good plan.  We, the board.  Which includes Sue Ellen and lots of other people.  Yes I mentioned your name.  And was told there’s no one better in the country.  You spent three months a year in the third world, I’m told, three months in New York, three in LA and the rest you’re off.  Why not switch LA for your home town?”  “I don’t know, Lucy.  I think I’m better off not spending three months in Dallas.”“Why, because of me?”“Lucy.”</blockquote>
