Surely enough when he arrived at the Ryland’s mansion Judith was already waiting for him with chilled champagne and fine food covered by a silver lid. If she hadn’t been Emma’s grandmother this setting might have made him think that she was trying to seduce him. But he knew she was not interested in his body, clearly the woman had something else on her mind and she was trying to butter him up so he would agree to her terms, “Hello Judith,” he grinned, as he took off his sun glasses.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “John Ross,” Judith drawled. “I wondered how long it was going to take you to come crawling considering what a little birdie has whispered in my ear.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “You already know?” He asked, as he sat down.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “That you’re back in with Ewing Global, yeah it’s yesterday’s news,” Judith said.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “But if you know, aren’t you going to congratulate me?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “What do you think the lobster is for?” Judith asked as she lifted the lid of the food.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Great I’m starved,” he smiled. “So how was Switzerland?” He asked as they started to eat. “I heard you went there with Emma.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “I did,” Judith acknowledged. “Oh and Emma is fine, thanks for asking. She’s met a nice young man while skiing. Someone that makes you fade in comparison.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “I’m glad,” John Ross said, as his jaw clenched a little. She could tell from his reaction that he still cared about her granddaughter and it pleased her. “But I didn’t call this meeting to get the latest about Emma’s love life.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “I figured as much,” Judith said. “So what do you want from me John Ross?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “You know what I want,” John Ross countered, spelling it out to her, “The permits to bring our Arctic oil into Texas.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Right and what will you offer me in return?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “My silence,” John Ross said, handing Judith an envelope. She gave him a questioning look prompting him to explain. “See in this envelope I’ve got an old video recording of Harris from before his time with the CIA. It shows your son making a deal with a terrorist by the name of BD Calhoun. It proves that it was your son that caused the accident that almost cost my aunt Pam her life.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Judith&#039;s face hardened, as she had not expected this. “I thought the CIA buried those records,” Judith muttered.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “They did but there’s always a way for someone like me to get a copy,” John Ross said. “I also know that your son screwed up. He was paid to kill my uncle Bobby in that accident because that would have hurt my father but since Pam was driving Bobby’s car that day he almost killed her instead.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “You’ll never be able to prove that.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Won’t I?” John Ross said in a challenging tone of voice, “Look at the next picture.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “But that’s Harris,” Judith sighed.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Yes it’s from a surveillance camera at a gas station. It clearly shows that it was your son who got into the truck that caused the accident, which means that he was driving the truck himself even though he had one of his men take the blame for it when the police questioned you about it.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Nice try John Ross but like I told your uncle Bobby the other day, the police won’t reopen a case that cold,” Judith said.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Oh I know the police won’t care. But I’m sure the public will. After all people just love some dirty laundry. It was what caused my mama to lose the governor election, remember?” John Ross gave Judith a look. “So I am sure that once this hits the newspapers it will cause quite the scandal that will definitely cost you your job as railroad commissioner.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “You son of a bitch!” Judith cursed.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Well thank you,” John Ross smiled smugly. “So shall I tell her that the problem with the permits has been cleared up?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Yeah you’ll get your permits,” Judith muttered in an annoyed tone of voice, before pointing her finger at him. “But I’m warning you John Ross. If you ever try to blackmail me again I will make your life miserable and you can consider that a warning.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Oh don’t worry, I have no intention of crossing you again Judith,&nbsp; at least not this year,” John Ross smiled his shit eating grin. “So how about a toast to my victory?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “I hope you choke on the champagne,” Judith said as they both sipped from their glasses.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Now Judith don’t be such a sore loser,” John Ross said. “You did get something out of it too.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “I did?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Yeah you got to keep your job,” John Ross smiled his shit eating grin again. He knew that their victory over Judith Ryland might be short lived and that the war between the Ewings and Rylands was far from over, but right now it still felt mighty good to have won this battle.</blockquote>

[QUOTE="Karin Schill, post: 230091"] Thank you for the feedback [USER=5055]@CeeCee72[/USER] . :) Yeah it makes sense for Pamela to be worried considering that she lost the twins. That was such a sad episode. :( Here's tonight's update. * John Ross had been looking forward to this lunch meeting. Surely enough when he arrived at the Ryland’s mansion Judith was already waiting for him with chilled champagne and fine food covered by a silver lid. If she hadn’t been Emma’s grandmother this setting might have made him think that she was trying to seduce him.
