Margaret Krebbs approached Southfork with a briefcase in her hand and a worried expression on her face. As Margaret made her way inside the ranch, she noticed the large amount of police officers, investigators and forensics, scoping the large ranch, not missing any detail. Many of the guests such as Lucy, Gary, Val, Afton and many others had been allowed to leave and return to their homes. Afton had pleaded with the police to the let them stay but she was denied her wish.

Margaret headed over to John Ross, Pamela, Sue Ellen, J.R and Ray who had stayed at Southfork whilst Bobby, Pam and Amanda had gone to the hospital with Christopher. "Daddy, I came as soon as I heard!" Margaret said, rushing over to her father who immediately hugged her.

"Oh Maggie it was terrible!" Ray stated.

"Don't worry, I've got myself and the best lawyers in Dallas working on this case" Margaret said, assuring her family that she was doing everything she could. Sue Ellen smiled at the young lawyer.

Whilst the Ewing's were in deep discussion, Pamela was stood by the Southfork pool, thinking about what Carl had said before he had died. After noticing his fiancées discomfort, John Ross approached her. "I keep thinking John Ross, what could my father possibly do to me, what could he do to hurt me anymore than he already has, and now I find out that he had something to do with Christopher being shot!" Pamela explained, heartbroken.

John Ross kissed his fiancée on the cheek. "Your daddy is as low as they come darlin' he knew you would be here tonight and he still risked your life! Don't you worry Pamela, I'll find out why he did it, and he'll pay!" John Ross said.

"Take me home John Ross, just take me home" Pamela said, breaking down in John Ross's arms. John Ross did as he was instructed and said his goodbyes to the rest of the family before leaving with a distraught Pamela.


Five Weeks Later

Bobby Ewing and his wife, Pam had been helping Christopher cope with his injuries at the hospital for the last five weeks, along with Christopher's wife, Amanda Carter Ewing. "In a few weeks time you'll be back at home planning the future of your babies!" Pam said, keeping positive and enthusiastic. Christopher smiled at his mothers attempt of optimism but couldn't resist staring at his wife who was pacing outside of the hospital room.

"So what exactly is wrong with him?" Amanda queried outside of Chris's room, Amanda had been speaking to the doctor for the last fifteen minutes. "It's too early to say Mrs. Ewing. Your husband suffered a severe bullet the chest, we need to keep a close eye on him" the doctor said before heading off. Amanda sighed and sat down on a nearby chair, sighing heavily into her hands.
Bobby Ewing noticed Amanda's distress and made his way outside to speak to her. "He'll be OK Amanda, I promise you that" Bobby said, assuring his daughter in law. Amanda sighed once more.

"I hope your right Bobby. Because I'm beginning to lose hope" Amanda responded.


Cliff Barnes stood in his office at Barnes Oil with his assistant, Frank Ashkani by his side. "It's going all wrong! Christopher was never supposed to be shot! If Pam finds out she'll never forgive me! Why couldn't that idiot, Carl just do as I ask?! Now he's got himself murdered by his own sister" Cliff explained, staring outside of his office window.

Frank grinned before sitting down. "I see your predicament Mr. Barnes. Would you like me to do anything?" Frank asked.

Cliff mulled it over.

"Keep an eye on Pamela for me. After what that Carter boy told her I want to make sure she's still on side" Cliff responded.

"Yes Mr. Barnes" Frank replied.


Once Bobby and Pam had returned to Southfork, Amanda managed to see Christopher on her own. "Hey, how you holding up?" Amanda asked, sitting beside her husband, rubbing her pregnant stomach. "I'm fine, I'll be okay in a couple of days. How are you?" Christopher asked in response.

Amanda chuckled. "I'm not the one laying in a hospital bed, you are" she responded.

Christopher smiled. "I meant with everything. The babies, me, you, and Carl". Amanda hadn't thought about the consequences of killing Carl yet, she knew that it was self defence and that she had saved everyone from a lot more deaths.

"I did what I had to to save my family. I couldn't risk him hurting Pamela or your family and especially you! He may of been my brother biologically, but he's not my brother" Amanda protested. Christopher nodded in agreement.

J.R Ewing, John Ross Ewing, Pamela Rebecca Barnes, Bobby Ewing and Sue Ellen Ewing all gathered in the Ewing Enterprises boardroom where J.R let his family in on some information. "I know your all wondering why I called you here, especially you Pamela. I recently called one of my best private investigators to look into ole' Cliff Barnes, and she's going to do just that! Come on out!" J.R explained.

The Ewing's and Pamela waited in awe as the investigator came out of J.R's office, the woman was...Sly Lovegren.

"Hello, J.R" she said.


THE END...

Episode 2 - Business Buddies: Vicente Cano enters the scene as does Drew Ramos as well as two characters from S1. (I know right!) Pamela and Sly work together to find out what Cliff Barnes is up too, but little do they know their being followed too! Drew meets Christopher and informs him that he is Elena's brother. A shocking cliffhanger reaches the end of the episode!
