Well thanks for reading. This is my first AMC fic so I hope you enjoy it. I kind of changed a few things around from whats actually happened in the show over the last few months. Hope you still like it.
The hour struck one on the old clock at the Valley Inn restaurant. The dining room was filled with the usual crowd of people, eating their brunch and sipping their wine. Among them were JR Chandler and his son Adam Junior. JR looked proudly at his son as he fed AJ small bits of food. Slowly, JR began to think of all the precious time he lost with his son and he cursed all those that betrayed him, especially his lying wife. Not far from JR's table, Kendall slowly made her way into the restaurant with Ethan not too far behind. She scanned over her surroundings and spotted her friend.

She turned over to Ethan and said, "Looks like JR is here with little Adam. Do you mind if we join him?"

"Not at all. Whatever makes you happy." Ethan responded with a smile.

They made their way to JR's table and Kendall put her palm on his shoulder. JR looked up and smiled once he met Kendall's eyes. "How are my two favorite boys doing?" Kendall asked playfully.

"We are doing just great, right little man? Oh Kendall, please sit down and join us. I'm sure Adam Junior wouldn't mind spending time with you." JR responded. JR smiled to himself as he watched Kendall sit slowly into her chair. Ethan sat beside her then wrapped his arm around her shoulder. JR could feel the sting of jealousy as he watched Ethan and Kendall's intimacy, but he kept his exterior calm and emotionless.

"So what are you two up today? What's daddy's big plan, Adam?" Kendall asked while pinching little Adam's cheeks. She then to JR and said, "You know JR, I am so happy you won custody of your son. After what the bitch Babe did to you and my sister, she deserves to feel any pain you can dish out. Adam Jr. doesn't need her as a mother because you are the only parent he will ever need. I know you will be a great father."

"Thanks for the vote of confidence. That means a lot coming from you, Kendall." JR said while eyeing Kendall with a lustful gaze. Ethan was oblivious to JR's continued long glances at Kendall.

"It is a great thing to see a Father loving his son and accepting him into his life. If there is any justice in this world, criminals like the Haywards and murderers like my father will rot in hell. " Ethan said angrily.

"I assure you that Babe's day of judgment is coming but that will happen in all due time. And I promise you, Babe and her brainless followers will crash so fast, they wont know what hit them. But in the meantime, I'm going to concentrate on making sure my son has some sense of a normal life."

"Yes, forget about Babe and let's talk about something that won't make us lose our appetites." Kendall said.

"You know, JR I have an opening at the Chandler branch of Cambius. Ever consider returning to the corporate world?" Ethan asked. JR's eyes lit up at the request. This was the opportunity he was waiting for to snatch Chandler away from the grasps of the Cambius family, and Ethan was just the right sucker to let JR steal it right from under him. JR knew he had to be cautious and pretend not to be too interested or eager.

"Ethan, I can't thank you enough for helping me get my son away from the Buchanans, and I will always owe you one, but I have to decline your offer. I would really love to spend my time at home with Adam Junior." JR said pretending to sound genuine.

"This is the perfect way to ensure your son's future and plus it will distract you from your marital problems. Just for the hell of it, I am willing to throw in a hefty signing bonus." Ethan said.

"The offer sounds tempting, but I'm gonna have to pass. Sorry for disappointing you, but my son is too important right now. Well, I think it's about time for me and little Adam to get home. It was great seeing you guys and we should do this again." JR said before taking Adam Junior in his arms and leaving the restaurant. Ethan could only stare at Kendall with confusion.

"Don't worry I'll talk to him and maybe he will see that you are trying to help him." Kendall said before following after JR. JR was busy strapping Adam Jr. into the stroller when Kendall caught up with him. "So why did you turn down Ethan?"

JR turned around and faced Kendall, "I'm curious is to why he made such an attractive offer? And besides you heard what I said, Little Adam needs me."

"You know he just wants to help you. You are doing all the things for little Adam that his father denied him. Don't be stupid JR and let this chance slip through your fingers." Kendall said while looking directly into JR's face.

"How is it that you always convince me to do things that I don't want to do?" JR asked softly.

"I guess, I just have that power over you." Kendall responded with a slightly seductive smirk.

"I could never say no to a pretty face, especially yours. Tell Ethan that Cambius has a new employee and I'll be in his office first thing in the morning to discuss the details of our deal." JR said.

Kendall hugged JR excitingly and said, "You won't regret this."

"I know I won't" JR said to himself as he released Kendall from his grasp. Just as he thought, Ethan was playing right into his hands. Taking back Chandler Enterprises would be much easier than he thought.

A few minutes later, JR and his son returned to the Chandler Mansion and found Adam sitting alone in the Study berating someone of the telephone, "You better find out where Martin hid Liza or I'll have your throat. You better make it fast!" Adam slammed the phone hard onto the receiver and leaned back in his chair and took a deep breath.

"Rough day Dad?" JR asked as he put little Adam down in the playpen. Adam looked up at his son and sighed.

"You don't know the half of it. Liza keeps giving me the slip and if it wasn't for that damn Tad Martin; my daughter would be in this house right now. Damn him to hell!" Adam said angrily.

"Dad relax, I am sure they will turn up soon." JR said before fixing himself a drink. "Liza can only run for so long, and it's only a matter of time before you catch her. You want a drink?" JR said turning to his father.

"I don't think a drink is what I need right now. I find it difficult to sip Bourbon while my daughter is off to God knows where doing God knows what. And why are you so calm, aren't you at all worried that you won't see your sister again?"

"Of course I'm worried about Colby, but I have a reason for us to celebrate. Guess who I had brunch with this afternoon." JR said turning to his father. Adam glanced at JR and watched a smirk formed on his son's face. Adam remained silent; not knowing whom JR was speaking of. "Ethan Cambius." JR said finally breaking the silence. "He offered me a job at Chandler Enterprises."

Adam jerked up in his chair, "I hope you told that Cambius swine to shove his little job."

"Actually I accepted." JR said with a cocky smile on his face after taking a drink from his glass.

"You did what?" Adam asked forcefully.

"Dad think about it. If we want Chandler back it has to be done from the inside. All I have to do is stay off of Ethan's radar long enough to pull it off."

"And how do you intend on doing that?"

"Well that's the simple part. All I have to do is convince Ethan that we are such good buddies that I wouldn't do anything to ruin our friendship, which includes stealing Chandler. I'll give him a little compliment here and there; brown my nose up a bit then I'll hit him so fast his head will spin. Look, if you inflate a guy's ego just enough, he'll think he can move mountains and part the Red Sea. When he realizes he's just a mere mortal, it's already to late."

Adam nodded in agreement but still seemed skeptical, "Ah yes but how do you intend on…" Suddenly the phone rang. Adam answered the telephone, "I see, I'll be there in twenty minutes." Adam said to the voice on the other end. "That was my PI, he has a fix on Liza's location. We will finish this talk later son." JR wished his father good luck then Adam was off to meet the private investigator.

JR sat in his chair and reflected on the genius of his plan. Only if Kendall could be thrown in as an added bonus, he thought to himself. JR remembered all those lonely nights on the ship when he would find himself thinking about Kendall and he dreamt up scenarios coming home to get the girl he left behind. Fifteen minutes passed by, then suddenly the Chandler phone rang again and smacked JR out of his dream state. He checked on the baby who was playfully crawling around the playpen. "JR Chandler." He said answering the phone.

"Junior? Junior is that you?" The female voice on the other end of the telephone asked.

JR hated when people called him Junior, "No lady, the name is JR. Do you have a reason for calling here?"

"JR? You can't expect me to call you that, do you?" The voice answered.

"Listen, whoever you are, I have no time for games! Who are you and what do you want?" JR yelled.

"Why don't you look up and find out?" The woman said. JR could hear the voice more clearly now, as if the woman was in the room with him. He looked up at the doorway and saw a beautiful red headed woman on a cell phone. JR's anger completely disappeared and it was replaced with shock and a bit of confusion. JR looked questionably into the woman's face and asked, "Skye?"
