Heart of Sonny Walker
UC Headquarters: Monday Morning.
Everybody had a great weekend. Nobody was prepared for what they found at the office this morning. Sitting waiting for them was Sonny Walker. It was two months after he had delivered Patriaka. The crew walked in the office. Sonny was waiting for them in the conference room. He hoped that they could help him. He knew that Frank could do it. " Sonny what do you want?" Frank asked. Sonny put his hand and said " Please Frank before you kick me out listen to what I 'm about to ask." Frank looked at him and nodded his head.
Cody, Alex, Monica & Jake walked in. Alex stopped dead in her tracks and looked at Sonny and said " What do you want?". Jake noticed that Sonny had a worried look on his face. " Sonny what's wrong?" he asked. He knew Sonny something was wrong. He had a manila folder in front of him and it was marked 'Ailean'. Whatever was the matter with Sonny was connected to that folder.
Jake assumed.
" Let me start at the beginning. You see I have three daughters Sorcha, Bevin, and Ailean. I met their mother years before I knew Carly. Her name was Mariah. If you are wondering about their names Mariah was pure Irish right down to her temper. This folder is connected with my youngest daughter Ailean. Somebody wants her dead." Alex looked at him and said "Why not go to the cops". Sonny just looked at her. She shrugged her shoulders. Jake looked at her and said "He can't just walk into the local police station and ask for help. They may arrest him."
" What's in the folder?" asked Frank.
" Pictures of my girls. And information on them." Sonny answered.
He opened the folder and pulled three pictures out. The pictures were of three very beautiful women. " The one on the right is Sorcha, the middle is Bevin and the last one is Ailean. Bevin and her are twins. Fraternal to be exact. Which is rare because most fraternal twins are boys and girls. Sorcha is 28 yrs old. Ailean and Bevin are 27yrs old.
Jake couldn't believe his eyes Sonny was a father. And had three girls. They were beautiful.
Sonny noticed Jake looking at the pictures. He turned to him and said "The one with the long brown hair is Ailean." She was pretty in a earthy sort of way. She had no makeup and her hair was tied back. Her sisters were drop dead gorgeous. One was a blonde and the other was a redhead.
Frank looked at Sonny and asked " Who would want to hurt her"?
"Someone who wants revenge." Sonny answered.
Jake couldn't figure out who would want to hurt them. Of all people to go after Sonny Walker's daughters. The guy had to be crazy or really stupid. Jake was going with the idea of crazy.
" Why does no-one know about their existence". Frank asked.
" For their own safety " Sonny answered. " I've tried to give them a normal life. That meant that only a few people knew that they existed. Carly knew. She practically raised with me. Mariah and I were young when they were born. Too young I think. But we did the best could with what we had. " Sonny answered.
Monica looked at Sonny and asked " How did Mariah die?"
" She died in childbirth. Bevin and Ailean were too much for her heart to take. We were told only one baby. Ailean hid behind her sister. She died after Ailean was born. " Sonny answered. Monica noticed the way his eyes misted over.
" It still hurts after all these years thinking of her. That's why I did not want anymore children. But Carly changed my mind. You see Mariah was my passion and Carly was my love. I couldn't lose Carly like I lost Mariah. But Iost her anyway." Sonny said.
By now Cody pulled up information on the girls. He gave whistle. " Hey guys check this out. Seems Sorcha and Bevin are married. But not to just anyone. Sorcha is married to a Navy Seal and Bevin is married to Secret Service Agent."
" See what you can get on their husbands." Frank said.
" Access is denied Frank on both guys" Cody said.
" What can you tell us about their husbands Sonny." Frank said to him.
" Well Sorcha is married to the SEAL his name is Philip McHugh he is a weapons expert. Bevin is married to the agent his name is Jason Andrews he works at the White House for the president." Sonny said.
" How did your girls meet up with them? And with you as their father?" Alex asked. " Nobody knows what I do. People think I am a art dealer" he said.
" If the guys know what I am they don't say anything because the girls are never involved in what I do. And they keep quiet for them." Sonny said.
" Ailean has no prior record and she is single. Living in Wyoming of all places. And she is a teacher at the local high school." Cody said to everyone.
" Where in Wyoming does she live?" Frank asked.
" Tie Siding, Wyoming which is south of Laramie." Sonny said.
" Never heard of it " Alex said " Exactly why I moved them there when they were little." Sonny said.
Frank just looked at Sonny and smiled he knew the method behind his madness with his girls. Who would think of looking in Wyoming for his daughters.
" Beautiful country out there. Ailean runs the ranch fulltime in the summer and part-time during the school year." Sonny said.
Alex couldn't believe her ears. Sonny was a father of three very pretty girls. He had a ranch in Wyoming and was asking for their help.
" Why us Sonny?" Alex asked.
" I can trust you guys with my girls." He answered her.
" School will be letting out for the summer in a few days. This means that Ailean will be at the ranch all the time." Sonny said.
" A sitting duck " Frank said. " You got it." Jake said.
Frank looked at Sonny and said " We have to get clearance from headquarters to do this."
The phone rang and Cody answered it. Everyone heard him talking.
He walked up to everybody and said" We got clearance. Seems Jason, Bevin's husband pulled a favor at headquarters." Cody said.
Alex looked at Sonny and asked " Who exactly does he know over here?" Sonny just smiled. This drove Alex crazy because she knew Sonny would never tell.
" Let me call Ailean. It's about 6am in Wyoming she's most likely up and getting ready for work." Sonny said.
Sonny sat at the conference table and dialed the phone. It rang twice and he switched it to speakerphone as a woman's voice came over the line.
" Good Morning Tollgate Ranch." She said. " Good morning, baby girl. How are you doing?" Sonny asked.
" Daddy what are doing calling me this early. Is everything okay with you. Are you eating right?" Ailean asked.
" I'm fine and yes I'm following doctor's orders. I've got a surprise for you." Sonny said.
" I'm flying out for the summer. I'll be at the ranch the whole summer with you. How does that sound?" Sonny asked her.
" Great Daddy is anybody coming with you?" Ailean asked.
" Just a few friends." He said. " Anything out of the ordinary going on?"
" Coming to think of it yes weird calls at three in the morning, cars pulling onto the road up to the house and stopping, and somebody tried to hurt Midnight Sky the other day." Ailean said.
" You are okay?" Sonny asked. " Just a little bruised and scratched." She answered. From the look on Sonny's face he was happy about somebody wanting to hurt his daughter.
" Daddy why am I on speakerphone? Is everything really okay or are you protecting me again? Remember I am a big girl now very capable of taking care of myself." Ailean said to him.
" Nothing is wrong. I am just coming home and with a few friends. Why are asking". Sonny answered her.
" Well Jason and Bevin are flying in and so are Philip and Sorcha. And Hank has not left me alone for two seconds in fact he is eating breakfast with me right now." Ailean quipped. Sonny could picture Hank following her every move.
" The plane is landing in six hours. We are landing in Laramie. Can you come get us?" Sonny asked. " Sure Daddy." Ailean answered.
" Bye Daddy, Love you" she said. " See you soon baby girl." Sonny said. She hung up. The line went dead.
" That's my youngest. Gave me most of my gray hair and my high blood pressure." Sonny joked.
Monica smiled. This was a rare glimpse at him. He was actually smiling.
Alex was surprised at how nice she sounded on the phone. Nothing like she expected. Cody thought she sounded cute. Jake was intrigued about her.
Frank 's interest was peeked about Jason and Philip.
Sonny looked at Frank and asked. " Can you help me?"
" Yes, Sonny we'll help you. Everybody will here on out put personal grudges aside until this case is solved." Frank said looking at everybody and landing on Alex. Everybody nodded in agreement.
Cody looked up and said " Our tickets are at the Continental Airlines desk at the airport. The plane leaves in three hours."
Sonny looked at everybody and said." Make sure you pack for a dry climate. Hot in the day and cold at night."
Everybody agreed to meet at airport in an hour. They all got to the airport and met at the ticket counter. Got their tickets and made it through security with no problems. Now they were waiting to board the plane.
Jake looked at Sonny and asked. " How many acres do you own"?
" One hundred acres". Sonny answered.
" Why are the other two girls coming to the ranch"? Alex asked.
" My girls are like the three musketeers. You do something to one. You have to deal with the other two and two very large men. Plus Bevin and Ailean have a way of knowing when the other twin is hurt or in some kind of trouble." Sonny said.
Monica heard of twins knowing stuff about the other. But never witnessed it.
"When did it start Sonny"? Monica asked.
" You mean Bevin and Ailean. Well proably right away. Bevin is the oldest by five minutes. They know when each other was hungry. Then as they got older they knew when each other was hurt. Ailean knew when Bevin broke her leg and Bevin knew when Ailean fell out of the hayloft." Sonny said.
" Sorcha's the only one that is not a tomboy much to Carly's better judgement." Sonny said.
" She fell out of the hayloft"? Cody asked. " Yes she did. Knocked her head pretty good. She had a dandy concussion. It was a dare one of her friends dared her to do it. And she did it. Ailean has come close many times to giving me a heart attack." Sonny said.
