The characters do not belong to me.

She looked at the clock on the dash: 2:30 in the afternoon. She sighed her whole day had consisted of sitting in front of different houses for an hour or two then moving to the next house. She was on the fifth house and nothing was striking her as odd. Her butt was beginning to hurt and the wig the FBI had insisted that she wore to help in hiding her true identity was starting to itch. She put the car in gear and drove to the next house. Right after parking she could tell that this was the place she was looking for. After watching it for thirty minutes she knew that Ranger would be in this place because of how much security the building had. She could see where the weak spot in the security was and decided to get Ranger out herself. She parked over five blocks away and pulled on a baseball cap.

She used the weak spot to get in and after being in the building for five minutes she must have been seen because the alarm went off. She slipped into a random room and shut the door. It was pitch black in the room but she could feel that someone was in the room. With her gun drawn she flipped on the light to find a figure bound to a chair. She stood there for a moment then went to see who it was. She put her finger gently under the man's chin and lifted his face up so that she could see his face. She gasped when she saw that it was Ranger. He was bloodied but when she checked his heart beat it was strong. She slapped him to wake him up. He didn't seem to process that she was there to help. He flinched at her touch when she cupped his cheek .

"We need to get out of here." She said cutting the rope and pulling him up by his elbow. "They are going to know where I went and soon so let's leave before-" The door opened and three guys came in. "-they find me." She finished leveling her gun at them. She shot twice and killed two of the guys before the other one knocked the gun out of her hand.

She was about to go at him when a blur of movement in her peripheral vision caught her eye. The movement was followed by a single shot and the third man went down. She turned knowing that Ranger had finally moved into action.

"Who are you?" Ranger asked. He didn't seem to recognize her with the wig and hat that was covering her face.

"Not now." She replied and grabbed her gun then she motioned for him to follow her. He did so silently and she led him through a couple of hallways. Suddenly she heard the sound of boots slapping the floor around the corner and she pushed Ranger into a little closet.

She seemed to stop breathing. The only sound to be heard were the footsteps coming down the hall now. Suddenly a voice sounded through what was probably a walkie-talkie, the voice sounded rushed "Attention. There has been a breach in security. Two people, one male and one female are roaming the halls trying to escape. You are to shoot the woman, and shoot to kill. The man is to be subdued but not killed. They are not to leave this building." The man walking by responded to the alert and continued walking away; once his footsteps faded she stepped out of the closet. Ranger looked at her.

"Well this just got fun." She said with a bit of sarcasm in her voice. Ranger seemed to miss the sarcasm because he gave her a funny look, rolling her eyes-a habit that she had been unable to shake-she continued to move through the hallway. They were almost to the main entrance when a rather large group of men ambushed them. The men shot at her and she was forced to hide behind a support pillar. Ranger was behind anther one and they were both shooting when they got the chance. She felt more than heard the click as Ranger tried to shoot but was out of bullets. She pulled the gun from the small of her back and tossed it to him. What had seemed like a mob when they had been surprised turned out to be only seven guys. It took her a full clip and Ranger two different guns but they managed to shoot all the men who had attacked.

She had one gun left with about two bullets that she handed to Ranger. "The doors are around the corner. Find a house that seems safe enough maybe a block or two away and we can wait there." She could see the look in Ranger's eyes and added "It is you they want. Better that you get out of here as fast as you can. I am expendable to them, you will be tortured…" she shrugged "I would just be killed. Don't worry I'm not planning on dying today. Now go!" He ran out of the building and she followed him, covering his retreat. They ran for two blocks until Ranger suddenly stopped and went up to a house. He crouched down and seemed to think about picking the lock when he realized that he didn't have the tools. She grabbed a couple of bobby pins that had held the wig in place out of her hair and handed them to him. He quickly unlocked the door and stepped inside.

She turned to shut the door behind her and when she turned back to face Ranger. She was greeted with a gun pointing at her. "I think it is about time you tell me who the hell you are and why the hell you are helping me."

She took off the glasses and the wig and smiled. "It's me Ranger. It's Stephanie."

"Steph… Well you defiantly have a lot of explaining to do."

Taking a deep breath she nodded "Yeah I guess I do."

Sorry for the delay. I will probably not be able to write more until the weekend. Please leave reviews.
