Title: Ranger Story
Author: Gage39
Chapter 1: Partners and partnerships
A/N: This chapter is written through the eyes of Walker.
Dallas, Texas
Throughout all my years of experience as a Ranger I have seen many partnerships and only a few of them have been unique. My partner, James Trivette and I, have a unique partnership. Trivette can read my thoughts and I can read his. We are as different as two peas in a pod but that's the way partners usually go.
Trivette is 5'09" with black hair and eyes that match his dark skin. I am 5'10" with red hair and green eyes and am half Cherokee. Trivette likes to wear ties while I loathe the things and prefer denim. He is completely obsessed with computers and technology while I view them with the same skepticism that people used to view the airplane when Orville and Wilbur Wright were first attempting to fly.
The most unique partnership I have ever seen though was the one of Francis Gage and Sydney Cooke.
Gage was tall; 5'11" with blond hair and blue eyes. He loved food and was almost constantly eating something. Then he would immediately go and pound it off in the gym. He always had a ready wit and acted dumb but if you crossed him (or tried to hurt someone he cared about) then you were in trouble. (Just ask the crook that tried to kill his sister or the guy who tried to hurt Sydney). He was always available if you needed him but impossible to get up early in the morning and was always ten minutes late to everything.
Sydney, on the other hand, was 5'2" with dark brown hair and black eyes. She had some Hispanic blood in her and spoke Spanish fluently. She was extremely pretty and didn't mind teasing her partner about his bad luck with women. (For example: the serial killer that tried to kill him after giving him a ride). But let anybody try to hurt him and she was all over them.
They were also masters of disguise and Hollywood lost some good actors when they joined the Rangers instead. They went undercover as married couples, waitresses and waiters, drug dealers and anything else you can imagine.
By now you're probably wondering why I'm telling you a lot of uninteresting stuff about people you could care less about. Well, there's been rumors going around about what happened thirty-seven years ago and I want to correct the rumors. People are saying that it was Gage's fault that he died since he could have stopped Eric Buchanan at any time and some are even saying that it was my fault!
My wife, A.D.A Alex Cahill-Walker, told me that it was time that people heard the truth about what really happened all those years ago. So I (I still can't believe I'm doing this) am sitting down at a computer and learning how to use it so I can tell this story a lot better and not have to worry about people forgetting about it. Chris offered to type it up for me but, seeing as he doesn't know most of what I'm fixing to tell and it is about his parents, we decided that it would be better if he waited to read it until I finished it.
So here it goes.
It all started thirty-seven years. Gage had disappeared and there hadn't been any sign of him until one day when Trivette received a phone call…
A/N: I promise that the next chapter will have a little more action in it.
