Rangers POV

I had just finished up a takedown and the paperwork associated with it and decided I would go check on my babe. I drove to her apartment and all the lights were off, I wasn't surprised as it was past midnight. Getting out of my car I can't help but feel regret at the fact that this all I will be able to give. Friends, late night visits, and kisses in the alley. She can't offer less than a relationship and I can't offer more than casual sex. Finally making it to her door, I get my lock picking kit out and make quick work of the locks. Opening the door the first thing I noticed was I didn't hear Rex's wheel, after doing a quick walk through Steph and all her clothing and shoes were gone. I called Rangeman's control room to pull up her trackers thinking she may have moved in with Morelli. Cal answered the phone

"Rangeman"

"Cal pull up Steph's trackers and give me her location" I said. I heard typing and knew he was pulling them up after a few minutes he came back on the line.

"Personal ones are showing her apartment Boss, Car tracker is showing Connie's. Is everything okay?" Cal asked me with worry obvious in his voice.

"She's not here and all of her clothing is gone. I'm going to look around some more and then I will talk with her super" I said as I disconnected. I punched in speed dial one for her cell phone and it went straight to her voicemail. I left her a message

"Babe, Call me" and I disconnected. I started toward her Super's apartment hoping he knew where she was and what was going on. I banged on his door. He finally opened the door wearing just a pair of boxers. It was obvious I had woke him up but I didn't care.

"uh.. Uh…. Who are you?" he asked nervously

"I'm Steph's friend I'm looking for her, do you know where she is?"

"Your Ranger right?" I nodded

"She gave me something to give to you" He left his door open and walked away. He came back to the door holding two pieces of folded up paper and all of her trackers. I took them and went back to her apartment. I sat down on the sofa and called Tank

"Yo" he answered on the first ring

"Come to Steph's apartment and bring Lester and Bobby" I said

"On our way boss" I disconnected. I opened the note that said Ranger on it and read it.

Ranger,

I've decided to make some changes in my life and get a fresh start. I think I need a fresh start. Please understand. I will try to contact you when I am ready. I can only hope you will understand. I love you.

Love,

Babe

I can't believe she left. I looked at the other piece of paper and it said Merry Men on the front I opened it and read it.

Guys,

I'm going to be leaving town for awhile, I'm going to get a fresh start. I think it would be good for me. I will miss you guys and I love you all. You have been great friends and brothers. Please understand. I hoped you know I have to do this.

Love,

Bombshell

I had just finished reading it when my core team walked in. I handed them the notes as I took one more look around. It looked like I may have lost my friendship with my Babe. I walked to my car and drove to Connie's all the light were off and I looked inside, it was obvious no one was there. I picked open the locks and went inside. Shit was all I could think, There were no clothes or shoes. It appears they may have left together. I called Vinnie. He answered on the third ring half asleep

"Who the hell is this"

"Vinnie" I said in a menacing voice

"Ranger, what can I do for you?" He asked sounding somewhat nervous

"Do you know where Stephanie and Connie are?" I asked

"Don't know where they are. Connie turned in their notices along with Lula's something about they were leaving town to get a fresh start. I don't know and don't particularly care." He replied. I ended the call and threw my phone. Damn it they left together and there is no way to know where they went. I'll have to run searches and check their credit cards. I went back to Rangeman and straight to my office. My core team was already there waiting on me. I ran all the credit cards and bank information through on all three of them. They had each closed their bank accounts and cancelled their credit cards. I looked at the guys

"Nothing, we have nothing. Whatever they are doing they are going about it smartly." They nodded

"I can't believe Beautiful left" Lester said as he got up and walked out hanging his head. I knew he would take it hard. They were pretty close and I think he might be in love with her. I looked at Tank and Bobby

"Connie and Lula left too." They both shook their heads as they got up and walked out of my office. I had to find her, I just wasn't sure how so far it appeared they were disappearing.
