A/N: This is my first attempt at a Walker, Texas Ranger fan fiction. This story is written for my enjoyment only and I do not own any part of Walker, Texas Ranger. Any true to life reference to anyone is purely circumstantial. As this is my first attempt names may change with the exception of the main characters in Walker, Texas Ranger.
Monday morning at Ranger company B's headquarters Walker sits behind his desk looking over some arrest records and across from him Trivette fumbles through a newspaper. "I'm telling you Walker, this is the real deal, and you can turn a small investment into millions overnight" Trivette clamored as he pointed to the stock page.
"You've said this a thousand times before and I'm not letting you waste any more of my money with your ridiculous investment schemes." Not a few feet away at his desk Gage is trying to hide his laughter when Jimmy comes over to him.
"What do you think Gage, you could stand to make some decent money here."
"Um, no Trivette, I've never had any luck with the stock market and I'm not about to start now."
Before Jimmy could offer a rebuttal, Alex comes sauntering in with a file.
"Guys we have a problem, there has been a prison break at Huntsville, several guards and prisoners were brutally murdered and only one prisoner escaped."
"Who was it Alex?"
"None other than Hector Vasquez, drug cartel for the Ruiz family." Alex retorted as she put the file down on Walker's desk.
This was enough to get Gage's and Jimmy's attention and both rangers got up and looked over Walker's shoulder as he opened the file.
"I remember this guy," said Gage. Sydney and I went undercover for a month before we were able to gather enough evidence to bring him down."
"That's right, and it was Sydney's testimony that scored the slam dunk with the Grand Jury and then again at trial." confirmed Alex.
"What are the odds that he'd be looking for some retribution now that he's out? Jimmy asked.
"I'd almost say you could bet on it." replied Walker as he finished looking at the file. "Gage, when does Sydney get back from Houston?"
"Later this afternoon I think."
"Well, we'd better warn Sydney. Gage, I want you to meet her at the airport. Trivette pull up anything you can about the Ruiz family's financials and properties. Vasquez couldn't have gone far without help, and he'd know the heat would be on now that he's escaped. I'm going up to Huntsville to talk to the warden and find out more about the escape."
At about the same time Hector Vasquez and his lieutenants gathered to go over plans to get back into business and carry out a vendetta 12 months in the making. Eliminate those who put him in jail, starting with Maria, or so she claimed that was her name. In actuality Maria was none other than Texas Ranger Sydney Cooke. Secondly, he decided that the lady D.A. had to go as well. Vasquez figured out who Sydney was during his trial and since then has been plotting on how to eliminate her. As it was with all criminals Vasquez was no different. Go after the D.A. as well.
