"Gage, Sydney, we have a new case in our hands," Walker said as he walked into Company B. They nodded and stepped to his office with Trivette. "A man named Stephan Bouchard is selling drugs and weapons in Dallas to the local bad guys. He is very wealthy and has many connections in the mob. We have been after him for three years already and now we have made a progress. There is a warehouse where he supposedly sells the weapons and drugs every Wednesday night. Because today is the merchant day, we are going in an hour so get yourselves ready," he finished as they went out. Gage and Sydney went to their desks and prepared themselves. Syd was putting on the bullet vest, just in case and so was Gage. Bouchard was a very dangerous man and they both knew it. When it was time, Gage asked, "So are you nervous?" Syd smiled and replied, "Not a slightest bit."

They reached the warehouse and entered, quietly. They could here voices in the house as they made their entrance. "Texas Rangers, freeze!" Walker yelled as everyone went in. The criminals started panicking and they were easy to catch. Suddenly Syd noticed Bouchard trying to escape through the back door and she ran towards him. Gage, who had seen it, went after her. As he got outside, he saw that Bouchard had his gun on Syd and he had forged her into a car. Just as Gage was about to shoot Bouchard, someone knocked him out behind his back. When he became conscious after a few minutes, he saw Bouchard flying away in a chopper as the car blew up. He felt as his heart was ripped out as he tried to make his way towards the car but Walker stopped him. "Gage, it's too dangerous, don't go," he stopped him. But Gage yelled back, "Syd is in that car and I have to get her." But Walker didn't let go as he said, "It's too late, Gage."

When the firemen finished their job, there was nothing left but a car wreck. One of the firemen went to Walker and said, handing him a small object, "This was the only thing that we found. There was no body but due to the heat, it probably didn't leave a sign. I'm sorry." Walker nodded as he went to Gage who was sitting and just staring in front of himself. "Gage, how are you? The men didn't find her body, but they found this," he said giving him the object. Gage looked at it and knew instantly that Syd was really dead; it was the necklace he had given her for her last birthday and had her name on it. "I'm so sorry, Gage," Walker said as he went to call Alex. "Hello Alex," he greeted her as she picked up. "Oh hey, honey," she said happily but when she noticed his sad voice, she asked, "What has happened?" Walker sighed as he said, "Alex, you better sit down. In the heist of Stephen Bouchard Syd was trapped in a car and it blew up." Alex gasped as she asked, "Is she...?" Walker sighed and replied, "Yes."

At the hospital the paramedics looked over Gage who had twisted his ankle. He seemed not to care about it at all, he just stared blankly, tears in his eyes. Alex entered his room, with cried eyes as she asked, "How are you, Gage?" He looked away but didn't say a word. Alex realized that he had to be in shock and left just as Julie stepped in. "Frankie? Oh Frankie, I'm so sorry," she said hugging him, bursting into tears. Gage just said, "Yeah, I know." Julie sat beside him and they just sat there, in quietness as she said, "Her parents are here. Maybe you should meet them..." Gage shook his head and asked, "And do what? Tell them that their only daughter died because of me?" Julie looked at him and said, "No, it wasn't your fault. Don't think like this. It was only Bouchard's fault and they know it too." But he only looked away and said, "It is my fault. I should've been there for her but I wasn't. Oh god, how I wish she was alive. I would give anything for it."

On a small island in the Pacific Ocean, Syd opened her eyes. Her head was pounding and she felt terrible as hell. As she stood up, she saw that she was in a rather large room with a bed, table and chair. There was also a window and she could see the ocean from it. As she thought back what had happened, she remembered it all. They were chasing Bouchard and she went after him. First, he forged her into a car, but when he saw Gage, he took her out, as Gage was knocked unconscious. Then, he pulled her into a chopper and knocked her out too. Then, as she was trying to get out of the window, Bouchard stepped in. "Hello, my little Ranger. I see that you are awake. That is better because now we will have more fun. What's your name?" he asked smirking. She looked fiercely at him and replied, "I will have no fun with you. My friends will be here soon." But Bouchard only laughed and said, "You don't have to worry about that. They won't look for you as for them you are dead, Sydney," he said looking at her badge and left the room. Syd felt terrible of what he had just said. They thought she was dead? Walker, Alex, Trivette, her family, Gage, all thought it. She felt as her life had truly ended that moment.
