Disclaimer: I don't own the characters of Dallas, I'm just borrowing them. However the character of Riley Ewing is mine.
Chapter 1:
It had been 6 months since they had seen Cliff Barnes put in a jail cell in Nuevo Laredo. Christopher asked, "How do you think Riley will react when he finds out we framed Cliff Barnes?"
Bobby replied, "He knows all about it. Who do you think helped JR come up with his master plan."
Both Christopher, and John Ross were stunned. John Ross said, "I always thought Riley was a boy scout."
Bobby chuckled as he said, "Nope JR taught him every dirty trick in the book."
Christopher asked, "Are you okay with that?"
Bobby was lost in thought for several minutes, then he finally said, "He's always tried to help the family. While I don't necessary condone it, I can wholeheartedly understand why he does what he does. Remember if it wasn't for him Anne would be in prison for attempted murder."
Both boys remembered how Riley had threatened to cripple Harris Ryland for life by shooting him in the knee caps, and elbows unless he recanted his statement against Anne. Christopher also remembered how he had threatened to kill Elena, and her mother if she didn't tell him where her brother Drew was hiding at and much to his surprise niether woman broke. John Ross thought about when his mother was being threatened by Harris Ryland for bribing the ME in order to save him. Ryland was severely beaten, and the next day Sue Ellen was cleared, and Anne got to see her daughter. They were all snapped out their reveries, when Anne came walking into the room. She asked, "Where's Riley?"
Christopher asked as a bruised, and bloodied Pamela walked in behind her, "Why….Oh my god what the hell happened?"
Pamela replied as John Ross rushed to her side, "I was getting into my car at The Galleria, when two men snuck up behind me. One grabbed me, while the other started hitting me. Eventually they threw me down on the ground, and stole my purse. I managed to get into my car, and drove straight here."
John Ross asked, "Why didn't they take your car too?"
Pamela replied as she began to cry, "I don't know. I just want Riley."
John Ross just stared at his ex-wife for several minutes, then he said, "I know where he is come on I'll take you."
She nodded her thanks as he led her to his black Corvette Stingray. They climbed in, and sped away. 30 minutes later they pulled up in font of Ewing Karate; Riley's karate dojo. He taught Karate here when he wasn't on duty as a Texas Ranger. They walked in, and stared in awe as they watched Riley perform several katas. John Ross yelled, "Yo Jackie Chan a word."
Riley grinned as he saw them, but then when he saw the condition of Pamela's face, and the fact that she had been crying, the grin disappeared and a hard granite like set his jaw, and deadly gleam in his piercing liquid hazel eyes replaced it. He stripped off the sparring gloves he was wearing, and walked over, and crouched by the edge of the ring. John Ross, and Pamela walked up. He reached out, and gently cupped her face as he examined her injuries. He asked in his deep gravelly voice, "What happened ta yuh darlin?"
She told him what had happened. When she was done he stroked her cheek, and said, "Go on back with John Ross, I'll find the pieces o shit that did this, an make em pay."
She said, "No I want to go with you."
He said gently, "It's too dangerous darlin. I don't want yuh gettin hurt."
She glared stubbornly at him as she said in a quiet voice, "I want to see them pay."
Riley relented as he said, "Alright. Let me get showered, and changed."
As he walked off it never ceased to amaze John Ross that the only people that could change Riley's mind were his deceased father, his mother, Bobby, Anne, and of course Pamela. He also thought that the way Riley could go from terrifying., and intimidating to caring, and loving was amazing.
Riley stepped out the shower, and began to get dressed. He was a tall powerfully built man standing at 6'5" tall, and weighing 265#. He had very tanned skin due to all of his time outdoors, broad shoulders, and a narrow waist. He had long shoulder length raven black hair that he kept in a low ponytail, piercing liquid hazel eyes, and a short black beard. He wore dark blue Wrangler Cowboy Cut jeans, Lucchese Black Cherry Lone Star Calf Leather Cowboy Boots, a black long sleeve pearl snap shirt, a dark brown buckskin jacket, and a Stetson 6X Fur Felt Brimstone Cowboy Hat. He also had a silver Montana silversmith watch on his left wrist, a sterling silver Figueroa chain around his neck a stainless steel .357 Colt Python in a dark brown Galco DUAL POSITION PHOENIX HOLSTER on his right hip, he had his badge clipped to the right side of his dark brown tooled leather concho studded belt . He also had a Microtech Halo 5 S/E OTF Automatic Knife in his right hip pocket, his IPHONE on his left hip, and a stainless steel .357 snub nosed Smith & Wesson Model 60 in a dark brown Galco ankle holster strapped to his left ankle. He walked back out front, and drawled as he led Pamela to his Delmonico Red 2016 Dodge Ram Laramie Lonestar 1500 4X4. They climbed in, and sped away, "Let's git a move on darlin
