Next Morning at the Gage's

"Sydney, honey. It's time to get up. It's seven" Gage whispered in Syd's ear, caressing her shoulder to coax her awake. A small moan came from her lips, "Sleep well?"

"Ummm... Not really..." She yawned and got up heading for the shower. Gage watched her go to the shower and plopped his head back on the pillow. "YOU HAD BETTER NOT BE LAYING DOWN!"

Sydney yelled from the shower a few minutes later, Gage jumped up in reaction.

"I'M NOT!" He smiled to himself and went to the closet picking out his clothes for the day. Sydney walked into the bedroom with the towel wrapped around her petite figure.

"Nice to see you up. Do you think Walker's going to let us go to the hospital to see to that girl?"

"I don't know, but I really wish I hadn't let that one go." Gage said disappointment in his voice.

HQ

"Morning, Walker." Sydney said opening the door to headquarters and walking to his desk, Gage right behind her.

"Heard that you two had a big commotion last night," Walker said looking up from his paper work on the desk.

"Yeah, have you heard anything about her?" Gage asked

"Just that her name is Alana Philips, age 20. She lives here in Dallas, but she don't family here." He looked to Sydney, "I want you to go to the hospital and see if she's woken up, maybe talk to her to see if she knows who it was or why they did it... Gage I want you to go with her but I also need you to interrogate the young man you caught last night. See if you can find the other one who got away."

Sydney nodded and with her partners hand resting on her shoulder they turned and left. Walker watched them leave and wished them good luck under his breath. Alex had then walked in seeing Walker at his desk and smiled at him.

"Hey cowboy, have you heard anything on the wreck last night or how the girl is doing?" She asked him.

"No, but Sydney and Gage are on their way to visit her and maybe find out some information." Walker replied.

At The Hospital

Gage and Sydney entered the hospital going to Alana's room. They found her room after checking with the nurse, and knocked on it.

"Come in..." A meek voice called out.

When they entered, she was sitting up in bed reading a magazine. Her right arm was in a cast and a band-aid over her right eye, indicating where the stitches were. A woman was sitting beside her in the recliner. She looked up after the two came into the room.

"How are you feeling?" Sydney asked taking a seat beside her bed and Gage standing behind her.

"I'm okay. This is my friend, Mina," Alana said, Mina nodded to them, "Are you two the ones who saved me last night?"

"We were just doing our job. We're Texas Rangers." Gage said to her. She put her magazine to the side and Mina excused herself from the room.

"Alana, do you know the men who caused the accident," Sydney inquired to the young girl, "Any information you give us will help in convicting him for attempted murder."

"You said men, but you only got one?" She asked, fear struck her eyes.

"Please, tell us who are these men?" Gage asked looking her directly in the eyes.

"My x-boyfriend, Trent Wood. I know that was his truck last night," Alana sobbed, "I don't know the other one, but I'm sure he is in with Trent. About a year ago, I broke up with him, but he didn't want me to. He has threatened me a couple of times, but I never thought he would actually take this kind of action against me."

"We will make sure he doesn't find you. When you get out tomorrow, we need you to come down to the station to point him out," Gage offered and with that wished her well, "we'll have someone come and pick you up tomorrow and bring you in."

"Alright..." Alana said but something inside of her didn't feel right. Trent couldn't be contained that easily. He has never been caught before, why now?
