Okay, this chapter has the rape and cursing in it. There will be more in the next chapter too. I will give you a heads up if there is one in a chapter! Thanks for reading!
Ranger Headquarters: Company B
It was very silent at Company B. It was nighttime and everyone had gone home, except for the two senior rangers, Walker and Trivette. They were both tired, but they knew they had to go through the stacks of file to find out the person who would have threatened Alex, Erica and Sydney. They were nearly almost done with both stacks. Trivette stopped a second, and rubbed his eyes. He glanced over at the clock on the wall, and it read 11:50pm. He got up and went to the coffee pot. Walker stopped and glanced at his partner as he walked over to the coffee pot.
"Want some?" Trivette asked. "You may need it."
Walker nodded. While Trivette made some coffee, Walker continued looking through the files.
"I know there is someone in here that threatened Sydney and Alex. I have seen the file and we've worked on the case." Walker said.
Trivette nodded, and returned back to his desk and handed Walker his coffee. He drank it, and continued to work.
One more hour went by, and Walker was resting on his arms that were on top of the last file of his stack he was reading before he dozed off. Trivette continued to look. The only thought that went through his mind was Erica. He had mixed emotions. He was glad and happy that Erica was safer than Sydney and Alex, but he was worried and angry that they weren't. He was about to give up when the next and last file of his pile caught his eyes.
The file read "Confidential".
Trivette grabbed the folder and opened it. The first thing he saw was a picture of a Caucasian male with a brown "Chevron-styled" mustache.
He had long shoulder-length brown hair, and Hazel eyes. The man was muscular. Trivette read his profile. He continued on to why he was sent to jail and how many years.
The man was sent to jail for murder, rape and torture of blonde-haired and black-haired women. He was sentenced to 15-years in prison, but had it narrowed down to one. He was released five-months ago, though. Trivette looked for the man's name.
His name was David Lancaster.
David looked familiar to Trivette, but he couldn't identify him. One word that caught his eye was Sydney's name in the file. Trivette leaned in closer to read what it said.
"Before David had been sent to jail, when he plead guilty, he threatened ADA Alex Cahill-Walker and Ranger Sydney Cooke that when he got out of jail, they would pay for sending him away."
Trivette read another section of the file.
"David Lancaster was released five months ago, and his actions remain unknown." Trivette stared at the file blankly. He found the guy. It had to be him. All the other files, that threatened Alex and Sydney, all died, or are still in prison for life. Trivette jumped up from his desk and ran to Walkers.
"Walker, wake up!" Trivette exclaimed with a smile."Come on, Man!"
Walker woke from his sleep and asked, "What? Did you find anything?"
Trivette nodded and handed him the file. Walker was now fully awake, and read the whole file. His eyes grew big when he recognized the man. Trivette saw his expression and asked in a concerned voice.
"What is it?"
Walker said, "Oh no. We know this man."
With that being said, Walker jumped out of his seat, grabbed his coat and car keys, and left the building, followed by Trivette.
"I'll explain on the way." Walker said.
Inside Walkers Ram
Walker was speeding fast. He had his lights on so he could past the cars and traffic easily. Trivette asked,
"What's going on, Walker?"
Walker replied, "David Lancaster. We know him,"
Trivette looked at him. "What do you mean?"
Walker continued, "We know him because…We know Charles Evans."
Trivette looked back at him. "Are you saying that Charles is Daniel? If he is, then-"Trivette stopped and gasped. "Oh no. Man, we put the girls in danger."
Walker nodded and he continued driving. He hated himself. He gave his wife away to a man who murders and…No, he couldn't think like that.
Please, let them still be at the ranch, safe, He thought.
Walker trusted Charles. They've known each other for 4 months. Walker couldn't identify him as David Lancaster because Charles had cut his hair shorter, and had brown contacts on. All Walker could think of was Alex, Erica, and Sydney. He prayed that Alex wasn't hurt and that Sydney had done her job.
Walkers Ranch
As Walker and Trivette arrived at Walkers Ranch, they saw that Charles and George's car was nowhere to be seen. Trivette finally spotted it crashed into a tree. When Walker and Trivette arrived at the car, they saw Charles nowhere to be found, but they found George, stabbed in the heart, dead in the passenger seat of the car. Walker bowed his head down, and both he and Trivette ran to the house.
When they entered the house, they ran all over the place looking for the girls. Alex, Sydney or Erica where nowwhere to be found. The furniture was all over the house, and broken glass. Walker sighed, and said
"There was a struggle. Charles kidnapped the girls, but he wasn't alone."
Trivette sighed loudly, taking his hat off. Walker sighed as well. He had failed to protect the trio. Now, he and Trivette have to find them. But that wasn't all. He had to tell Gage what happened.
It's been at least a day since the girls kidnapping. Walker finally decided to call Gage and give him the news. Walker dialed Gage's phone number and waited for his answer.
Ring Ring! Gage's cell phone started to ring and when it showed Walker's caller id, he feared the worst.
"Walker, please tell me nothing bad happened." Gage answered in a serious tone.
Walker sighed, and answered back, "I'm afraid so. The girls were kidnapped yesterday."
Gage's heart raced. He knew something bad was going to happen to Sydney.
"Okay, I'm leaving today, and I'm going to catch a plane to Dallas. Julie and I are coming home today."
Gage spoke, trying to hide his anger. Walker replied with "OK. We'll see you soon" and hung up.
Gage put his phone in his pocket, and went to go pack.
"Julie, we have to go home today."
He yelled. Julie looked confused,
"Why? What happened?" She knew something bad had happened; Mainly to Sydney.
"Sydney, Alex and Erica were kidnapped last night." Gage said.
Julie gasped, and ran to pack as well. When they finished packing, they left the hotel room they were staying at, and left to the airport. When they reached the Airport, they boarded the plane that was going to Dallas.
Don't let Sydney get or be hurt. Gage thought.
He knew this would happen. He didn't want to go to New York, and he didn't want to leave Texas. Now, he was going to find Sydney.
Unknown Place
Erica woke up first. She woke with a startle, seeing that she was in a room that was cold, and slightly dark. There were no windows, but there was a sofa and a bed. When she tried to move, Erica found that she was strapped to a chair with her hands bound behind it.
She looked around until she found, that on the bed was a figure. She squinted her eyes and saw that the figure was Alex. Alex's hands were tied to the posts of the bed.
Okay, Erica thought. I found Alex, now where is Sydney?
She looked everywhere until she saw a small figure hanging by their hands in chains from the ceiling. Erica immediately realized that it was Sydney, due to her small figure. Erica called both of their names in a whisper, and in a voice so that Alex and Sydney could hear her.
"Alex, Sydney. Wake up." Erica whispered.
Alex started to steer until she woke. When she tried to move her hands, she said,
"Erica? Are you there? Where are you? Where's Sydney?"
When she fully awoke, Alex sat up on the bed and realized that her hands were tied with chains. Erica called out to Sydney.
"Sydney, please wake up!"
Sydney mumbled something and woke very slowly. "Huh…Erica? Alex? Where are you guys?"
When Sydney fully awoke, she tried to move, but she found herself hanging by her hands; Her feet not even touching the ground. It finally came to realization to the girls that they were in different clothing.
Alex was in dark grey spandex shorts with a black camisole, and white sweatshirt. Erica was in a dark purple halter-top,a denim jacket with dark purple spandex shorts, and Sydney was in black spandex shorts with a light blue zip-up hoodie that had sleeves that stopped at her humorous, and it was half-way zipped up, showing half of her white camisole shirt. Her hair had been tied up in a ponytail. All three girls had no shoes on but they had white socks.
"We have to get out here. I don't like the feeling of this." Sydney said.
As she was about to continue, she heard footsteps coming up some steps. Just then, the door flew opened. Five men in ski masks came in. They started chuckling. Alex and Erica got terrified, showing the expression on their faces. Sydney, on the other hand, held her brave face.
One of the masked men went over to Alex, kneeled beside her, and caressed her face. That made Sydney angry and she started squirming around to try to get out of her chains. The man laughed and took of his mask. Alex's face turned from terror to shock, same as Erica's and Sydney's. It was Charles.
"Oh, Alex. I knew one day I'd see you again." Charles said, as he kissed Alex's cheek.
He stood up and walked over to Sydney, who stopped moving.
"Sydney Cooke. I was going to get you two one day." He spoke.
Sydney stared at him. He was taller than her, even when she was hanging by her hands.
She spoke,"Why are you doing this? Walker trusted you. WE trusted you! And you go and betray us!"
Charles chuckled and said, "Because you put me in jail."
Sydney looked at him in confusion, and then it hit her.
"You're David Lancaster..." Sydney said.
Charles clapped loudly and slowly.
"You guessed it. I told you I would seek revenge for sending me away. Now, you get a reward."
And after he said that, Charles started touching Sydney's waist and started moving lower. Sydney became furious and kneed him in the groin. Charles yelled and bent over. He quickly recovered and backhanded her in the face. That made both Erica and Alex flinch.
"Guillermo" He started. "Give them the drug."
Another man stepped forward and chuckled. He came near Alex with a needle and was about to inject her when Sydney spoke up.
"Wait! Don't give them any drugs. You can give me their drugs."
Guillermo stopped and looked at Charles. Charles smiled and said,
"Okay. Guillermo, don't give the blonde or brown haired girl drugs. Give them to the beauty over here."
Guillermo moved away from Alex and came near Sydney. When he reached Sydney, and pricked the needle inside her arm, and injected the drug. He then grabbed another needle and injected more drugs into her arm. Sydney winced at the pain, and started to black out.
"Don't give her too much drugs. I'll tell you when to give them to her." Charles said.
Guillermo nodded and walked away. Charles left Sydney and went back to Alex. He kneeled down beside her and whispered in her ear,
"Soon. You will be mine."
And left the room with the other men. Alex and Erica looked at each other in shock. Sydney knew the drug was taking its full effect because she couldn't hear Erica and Alex call her name. To her, they sounded far away. Soon, the darkness took over her whole body.
Ranger Headquarters
The next day went by slower than usual. Walker and all the other rangers in Company B were working once again rapidly to try and find Alex, Erica, and Sydney. They sent out pictures of them to news crews.
While all of them were working, Gage came in the door angrily. He went straight to Walker's desk and asked him,
"What happened?" Julie was right behind him.
Walker saw his expression and asked him to see him in his office. Gage went inside the office and was followed closely by Walker and Julie. Walker sat down at his chair and offered Gage and Julie and chair. They took the seats. Walker sighed, and started.
"Two days ago, Sydney, Alex and Erica were kidnapped by David Lancaster."
When Walker said David Lancaster, Gage's eyes soon widened. He knew exactly who the man was. He raped all those women and then murdered them. He couldn't imagine that happening to Alex or Sydney. Walker continued after seeing Gage's expression.
"It seems to appear that David Lancaster was released from jail 5 months ago. Four months ago, I met this man named Charles Evans. As you know, Charles Evans was supposed to guard the girls. I trusted the man. Well, it appears that Charles Evans is David Lancaster." Walker said.
Julie gasped, and Gage started to talk.
"So, you gave the girls away to the man that threatened their lives?"
Walker continued to talk, "Not exactly. I didn't know who he was until yesterday. Are you willing to help us find Sydney, Alex, and Erica?"
Gage looked at Julie, and then said,
"Yes, but first I have to take Julie home."
Walker nodded and with that, Julie and Gage left.
Meanwhile, Trivette was on his computer trying to find out where David/Charles could've taken the three girls.
When Gage returned back to Company B, Walker told him to notify Alex's father, and Erica's father what happened to them. He would've said Sydney's too, but he forgot that Sydney's parents died when she was younger. She had a past just like Gage's, except she was an only child, and it was worse. When Gage finished calling Alex's father and Erica's father, he put the phone down, and put his head on his hands.
Walker came up to him, put his hand on Gage's left shoulder, and said,
"Its OK, Gage. We'll find them. Sydney's with them. She can protect them and herself. She can always put up a good fight."
Gage looked up a showed a small smile.
"That's true" He spoke.
Walker returned the smile and walked back to his own desk.
Unknown Place
When Sydney woke up, she realized what happened. She had taken Alex's and Erica's drugs. Alex saw that Sydney was awake and asked her,
"Sydney, why did you take our drugs for us?"
Sydney shook her head.
"I can't let anything happen to you two."
Erica looked confused, "But why?"
Sydney flashed a small smile, and replied,
"Because I'm a ranger, and my job is to protect the people. Your safety comes first."
When she finished saying that, she looked around the room.
"We need to get out of here fast."Sydney said.
She thought for a second, then she had a plan. She grabbed one side of the chain with her left hand, and the other side with her right hand. She started to climb up and when she had enough strength, she lifted her hand to her head and grabbed a bobby pin out from her hair. She started working on the locks of her chains when she heard a click!
The chains unlocked, and she fell down to the ground.
"Yay! Sydney, you did it!" Erica exclaimed.
Sydney tried to get up, but she felt dizzy, so she grabbed the sofa that was close to her to help her stand and walked towards Erica. When she reached her, Erica began to smile. Sydney started to work on her chains, until they unlocked. When they did, Sydney fell to the floor as Erica freed herself from the chains and stood up from the chair. She helped Sydney up from the floor and onto the chair to sit. She grabbed to bobby pin from Sydney's small hands and walked towards Alex. She unlocked her right hand, and then her left hand. Alex jumped from the bed and went to Sydney's side.
"Come on, Sydney. We got to get out of here."Alex said, as she put her arms under Sydney's left arm to help her weight.
Erica helped get her right side. Both Erica and Alex were taller than Sydney, so she was easy to help. They reached the door, and went downstairs. Sydney finally gained her energy back, and released herself from her friends hold. Erica and Alex let go of Sydney as she led them to find an exit. Just as they were about to reach a back door, the trio were met by Charles. Their expressions turned to terror.
"Hello, darlings. Escaping are you?"
When he finished talking, the girls backed up from him, and Sydney yelled,
"Run!"
Alex and Erica started running, with Sydney behind them. Two men from another room, ran to Alex and Erica and caught them from behind, and took them upstairs. Charles took Sydney and carried her over his shoulder. Sydney kept punching his back and kicked her legs, but he kept his grip over her and also took her upstairs.
When they reached the same room they were in, one of the men put Erica back on the chair as she tried to struggle away from him. The other man put Alex back on the bed, and held her down, and Sydney was laid down on the sofa, fighting her way away from the man. Charles told the man, that was on Alex, to come hold Sydney down. They switched places and Sydney was now being held down by another man, while Charles was on top of Alex.
Charles laughed and said, "Well, you've been a bad girl. Now, get ready for your punishment."
Alex had tears streaming down her face, and she kept her eyes closed. Charles started to undo his belt, and Erica looked away. She also had tears in her eyes. Sydney struggled to get the man off of her.
Finally, Sydney overpowered the man, and kicked him in the face. She got off the couch and went behind Charles. Before he could take his pants off completely, Sydney spoke.
"Charles. Let them go." Sydney was making the biggest sacrifice of her life.
Charles looked behind him, and got off Alex. He pulled his pants fully back on, and walked towards Sydney. Alex sat up and wiped her tears away. Charles was toe-to-toe with Sydney. He was taller than her, maybe 6 foot. Sydney started to shake, but she knew that she must do this. Erica realized what was going on.
"Let them go?" Charles started. Sydney nodded, and replied with a yes.
"If you let them go, without any harm done to them, then I will stay here, and you can do anything you want with me." Sydney said in a firm, and serious voice.
Alex was shocked to hear what her friend was saying. Alex began to speak,
"Sydney! No, don't do this!"
But Sydney ignored what she was saying. Alex's eyes were once again filling up with tears. Erica was also pleading her not to do this, but Sydney ignored her too. Charles looked at Sydney up and down and smiled.
"Okay, I'll take your word. Guillermo, take the girls to the car, and take them to the Rangers Headquarters. No harm done."
Guillermo, the one that was holding Erica down, nodded, and grabbed Erica from the chair and moved her close to the door. Another man grabbed Alex and nudged her closer to the door. Sydney hugged her friend's goodbye, and then Charles grabbed her hair and pushed her against a wall. He motioned his men to leave the room, and they did. He shut the door and pinned her against the wall again. Charles saw that Sydney had tears in her eyes, and smiled manically.
He pressed his lips against hers roughly and kissed her roughly. He saw that she was responding, and he tried to enter her mouth with his tongue. She wouldn't let him in, so he grasped her thighs tightly and made her gasped. At that moment, his tongue entered. He lifted her legs and put them around him. He undid his belt once again, and took off his pants. After that, he took her legs off his hips and removed her spandex shorts and knickers. Charles saw that Sydney began trembling and he chuckled. He removed her hoodie and top. Charles removed her black lacy bra and played with her breasts roughly.
He bit them and she winced at the pain.
I would do anything to protect them from danger, Sydney thought to herself.
He stopped and took off his boxers. Sydney looked down at him, and her eyes widened. He was big! She tried to push him away, but he grabbed her hands and held them above her head with his right hand. Charles took her legs and placed them again around his hips with his left hand. He placed himself at her entrance, and she began to struggle.
"What's the matter? Haven't you done this before? No? Well, this is going to be fun!" Charles exclaimed.
It was true. Sydney was a virgin, because she wanted to save her "gift" for marriage. Charles smiled an evil smile, and said,
"Well, you're small, and tight. This is going to hurt a little." And with that being said, he pushed into her roughly.
Alex and Erica, along with Guillermo and another man made their way downstairs. They stopped at the kitchen to grab wash cloths to tie around their eyes. Guillermo decided to take the back door way to avoid anyone seeing them. As they were about to head out, they were interrupted by a loud shriek coming from upstairs.
Alex and Erica both stared at each other in shock and started to cry. Guillermo and the other man laughed, and then said,
"Let's go girlies. Your amiga is enjoying 'David's' company."
With that being said, the two men and two girls went outside to the car. Erica observed while Alex had cried her eyes out for what she just heard. Alex knew Sydney was getting "hurt" by Charles. Erica looked around to see where they were. The house was brown, and it was a winery mansion. She looked around to find a street address, but there wasn't any. There were just grapevines all around. Guillermo noticed what she was doing and went to her and pinned her to the car.
"I see you observing, chica. I can't hurt you, so if you tell anyone what this place looks like, we will come after you. Be happy that your Amiga helped you out. Just remember, if you tell anyone, we will know; Especially David. Okay?"
Erica nodded. After that, Guillermo tied the wash cloths to Alex and Erica's eye, and put them in the car. They drove away to the Ranger Headquarters.
Charles was going deeper and harder inside Sydney. There was blood on the floor, and on her thighs, but not a lot. He was moaning, but she was crying. She screamed loudly than she ever did before. She has always felt pain, but not like this. She had broken her arm before, but it didn't hurt as much as this did. It was excruciating, especially because he was big, and she was really tight.
Charles went faster now. He was about to release, but he didn't want to release inside her, because he didn't want to risk it. He laid her on her back on the floor, and released it on her stomach. When he finished, he was sweating and his member was covered in blood and sperm. He got up and put his clothes back on. Sydney crawled into a fetal position, and as he was about to leave, he began to speak.
"The bathroom is two doors down the hallway. You may want to clean up. You should thank me."
And left, laughing. Sydney cried for a longtime, and then she got up, picked her clothes up, and limped to the bathroom.
When she entered, Sydney started the shower and jumped in quickly. While showering, she wept quietly and scrubbed her whole body until her body was red.
It was worth it. They needed to be safe, and Walker would've been proud of me for taking this risk. I would sacrifice my life for theirs, Sydney thought.
Most of her thoughts were of Alex and Erica being safe, and Gage. She always liked Gage, but she got annoyed with him all the time. She loved him. She wondered if he liked her back.
She turned off the shower, and put on her knickers, spandex shorts, bra, camisole, and light blue jacket. She felt dirty. Sydney walked back to the room she had been raped in, closed the door, and crawled into a fetal position again on the bed. As soon as her head hit the pillow, she fell into a deep sleep.
Rangers Headquarters
It was once again, getting late. Trivette had came back and found nothing that led them to the kidnappings of Erica, Alex and Sydney. Gage glanced over at the clock, and said,
"I'm going to take a small drive to clear my head right now. I'll be back in a couple minutes."
He got up, grabbed his coat, and left. Walker leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes. He needed sleep. He hadn't slept real well since Alex, Erica and Sydney's kidnapping.
Guillermo's Car
While they were driving, Erica knew better not to, but she counted how long they've been driving. She counted three hours and twenty-two minutes. Alex had stopped crying, but she was still upset that Sydney would sacrifice herself to save her and Erica. Guillermo and the other man were talking the whole way in Spanish. Neither Alex nor Erica could make up what they were saying. Both girls were happy to go home with their husbands.
As the two girls were about to fall asleep, the car abruptly stopped. They sat up straight as Guillermo and the other man got out of the car, and went to open the back seat doors. Guillermo grabbed Alex by the arm and took her out of the car. The other man did the same thing to Erica. The two men removed the wash cloths from the girls' eyes. When they did, Erica and Alex were relieved to see that the location they were at was, the downtown market they were shopping at three days ago. Guillermo and the man gave each girl a shot of a drug in their arms, and Alex and Erica passed out. The town was dark and quiet, so they put the girls back in the car and drove to the headquarters.
When they arrived at the Rangers Headquarters, Guillermo and the other man took Erica and Alex out of the car and placed them on the ground in the parking garage, and then drove off, leaving them there.
Gage was in the elevator, going to his car that was in the parking garage. Inside, he kept thinking of Sydney. She could be dead for all he knows. It's been three days since their kidnapping. This was all real; it wasn't a dream like he's had before. He had to forget about it for awhile, that's why he's going on a little drive.
When he got out of the elevator, he started to walk to his car. He stopped when he saw two unconscious bodies on the floor. He ran towards them to see that it was Alex and Erica. They looked different to him. They looked like they hadn't eaten since they were kidnapped, and they wore different clothing. Erica started to wake up first, and she got frightened by Gage.
"Erica, it's OK. It's me, Gage!" He told her.
Erica hugged him hard, then let him go, and stood up. "Where are we?" She asked him.
"You're in the parking garage." Gage told her.
He looked at Alex, and placed his arms under her back, and under her knees, and picked her up.
"Come on, Erica. Trivette and Walker are inside." Gage said, with a smile.
Erica looked at him a smiled brightly, and followed him into the elevator.
"Jimmy?" Erica shouted as she entered Company B building.
Trivette looked up from his work and saw his wife standing in the doorway. He got up from his desk, ran to her and hugged her tightly.
"I thought I lost you, honey!" exclaimed Trivette.
Walker stood up and went to hug Erica, and she returned it. What really caught Walker's eye was Gage carrying a blond woman. Walker ran to him and told him to take her to his office and set her down of the couch. Gage put Alex down on the couch, and as he did, she woke up, and she started to struggle away.
"Alex, Alex, its OK. It's me, Walker." Walker said.
When he said, 'Walker' Alex opened her eyes, and saw her husband, along with Gage, Trivette, and Erica. She started crying and hugged her husband.
"Oh, Walker! How much I've missed you!" Walker returned the hug, then he let go of her.
He looked around her body for injuries. Her wrists were red, and bloodied, and she hadn't eaten anything. Erica had the same thing.
"Alex, Erica. We are going to take you to the hospital. At the hospital, you can tell us what happened." Walker said.
Alex nodded, and got up from the couch. Walker, Gage, Trivette, Erica, and Alex all left the building to the hospital.
Unknown Place
Sydney woke up the next morning, and she was feeling sore. She thought it had been a dream, but sadly, it wasn't. She sat up on the bed, and remembered the horrible experience she had yesterday. She had been raped, and worst of all, she was a virgin.
Sydney got up off the bed and left the room. She went downstairs to what she assumed was the living room, since it had a couch, a coffee table, a fire place, and a television. She looked around the whole house to see that there were large windows, along with skylights, around the house. But they were shatterproof and bolted shut.
That explains the brightness. Sydney thought.
There were some lamps on around the house, though.
"I see you like exploring." Charles said.
Sydney immediately turned around and slowly, backed away from him.
"Get away from me." She said in a serious tone.
Charles chuckled and moved forward. He had something behind his back, and she knew it. He kept his hands behind his back.
"What's the matter, baby doll?" He spoke.
Sydney became furious at the fact that he called her 'baby doll'.
"Don't call me that." Sydney said, angrily.
Charles laughed and grabbed her quickly. He bent her over the couch, and got behind her. From behind his back, he had a knife. He held it closely to her neck as she was bent over.
"Hmmm. I like this position!" Charles exclaimed.
He turned her over so that she faced him, and that her back was over the couch instead of her stomach. He lifted her jacket and camisole to her ribs, exposing her flat stomach. He took the knife and began carving something with it. Sydney started screaming at the pain. She didn't feel like a ranger anymore; she felt like a helpless victim. She knew that if she ever tried anything, she would pay.
"Shut the fuck up." Charles whispered as he continued carving.
He made sure he didn't carve deep enough to actually kill her, but carved to make sure it would scar, and still be there. Sydney now had tears in her eyes from the pain.
Ten minutes later, he finished and he licked the blood from the knife. Sydney got up from the couch, and winced as she did so. Charles looked at her, and smiled evilly.
"It looks good. Maybe tomorrow I'll give you another one." He said, and then he kissed her roughly.
Then he left the house. Sydney looked down at her stomach and saw what he carved there. It was a small beautiful flower with the letters "D.L" in the middle of it, and it said "Mine" around it. She limped a bit more around the coach, and she sat on it. Sydney sat down and put her knees up to her chest and sobbed.
I'm going to get out of here soon, she thought. If I stay longer, I could get myself killed.
Sydney's stomach growled. She was starving, but there was no food; not even in the kitchen. Charles didn't even offer her any either. Sydney thought she should go with her plan.
Five minutes passed and she thought, I'm escaping tonight or tomorrow. Dying or trying.
St. Mathews Hospital
When the three rangers and two girls arrived at the hospital, one of the nurses noticed how the two girls looked, and quickly took them to the emergency room. There, the doctors and nurses did tests to see if they were physically hurt. Walker, Trivette, and Gage waited in the waiting room. All were happy that the girls were with them, but they wondered,
"Where's Sydney?"
Later, a nurse came into the waiting room.
"Is anybody here for Alex Cahill-Walker and Erica Trivette?"
Walker, Trivette, and Gage all stood up.
"We are. Is there any damage done to them?" replied Walker.
"Mrs. Cahill-Walker has a few bruises on neck and wrists, is suffering from starvation, and is overdosed on drugs. Mrs. Trivette has the same symptoms as Mrs. Cahill-Walker."The nurse replied back.
Walker nodded, and then said,"Can we see them?"
The nurse said, "Yes, right this way, please."
They followed her to a room down the hall. When they entered, Alex and Erica both said hi.
"Hey guys!" Gage started. "How are you feeling?"
Alex smiled and hugged Gage. "Much better. Thanks for asking."
Walker and Trivette smiled, and then asked,"So, are you two going to tell us what happened?"
Alex's and Erica's smiles quickly faded away. Erica looked down and said, "Do you want me to say what happened or you?" She asked Alex.
Alex said, "I will, since she was supposed to protect us; me mostly."
She sighed, and then spoke again.
"So, it all happened after we went to Sydney's house. Erica and I suggested that we go shopping. Charles and George said we could so we went downtown. We spent so long there, that we lost track of time. After that, we decided to go to a French restaurant down a couple blocks without Charles or George. When we finished eating, Erica, Sydney and I went looking for George and Charles. It was nighttime outside, so we got scared. Charles and George found us in an alley and drove us back to the ranch. When we got inside, we changed into our pajamas, and watched a movie. Sydney looked out the window saying the car was gone. Then we heard a knock at the door. We were going to open it, but it was forced open. Ten men, I think, came into the house dressed in black and wearing ski masks. They drugged us, knocking us unconscious. When we woke up, we weren't at the ranch anymore, but we were in a room. I was strapped down to a bed, Erica was in a chair, and Sydney was being hung from the ceiling by her hands. We were also in different clothing. A couple minutes later, the same men came in the room, except there were five of them now, I think. One of them took off their ski mask, and revealed themselves as Charles. Charles kneeled beside me and started to caress my cheek. He kissed it too, then he went over to Sydney and she asked why he was doing this. He said because we put him in jail, then Sydney said his name was David Lancaster. He clapped slowly and told her she was right. Then he started to-"
Alex stopped for a moment.
She glanced over at Gage, whose face was redder than a tomato. She looked at Walker and continued her story and sighed.
"He started to touch her waist and started to go lower, but she kneed him in the groin. He got mad and he backhanded her. Charles then, ordered a man named Guillermo to give us drugs. As he was about to drug us, Sydney stopped him, saying she'd take our drugs for us. So, Guillermo gave her our drugs. She fainted after he gave them to her. When she woke up, we asked her why she took our drugs, she said because 'she was a ranger, and her job was to protect people'. She said we had to get out of the room, so she lifted herself in the chains, and grabbed a bobby pin from her hair and unlocked her chains. She did Erica's, but she was too dizzy to do mine, so Erica did them. When we were all free, we left the room and proceeded downstairs. We went into the kitchen and saw the back door. We were so close to escaping, but, more men came and grabbed us, and took us back upstairs to the same room. Charles grabbed Sydney and took her upstairs with us. I was laid on the bed, Sydney was laid on the sofa, and Erica was put on the chair. Charles got on top of me, while another man held Sydney on the sofa. Charles started to undo his belt, but Sydney fought off the man holding her down, and appeared behind Charles. She told him to let us go. Charles stopped and turned, got off me, and stood toe-to-toe in front of Sydney. He asked her why, and she said that if he let us go with no harm done, she would stay and he could do anything he wanted with her. He agreed, and he told Guillermo and another man to take Erica and me downstairs and to drive us to the ranger's headquarters. I started to protest, begging Sydney not to do this. She hugged us goodbye. As Erica and I were on our way outside the house, we-"
Alex stopped as she felt tears streaming down her face. Alex shook her head and put her head in her hands. Erica knew Alex couldn't say no more, so she decided to continue.
"We heard screaming. It was a scream we had never heard before. We knew it was Sydney. He was hurting her. Guillermo put wash cloths on our eyes so we couldn't see where we were. Then they dropped us off at the ranger headquarters, where Gage found us. Oh please, Jimmy, Walker, and Gage. You have to find Sydney before it's too late. She has black hair, and David Lancaster rapes and murders. You have to hurry." Erica finished. Walker, Trivette and Gage nodded and told the girls they had to go. They hugged them goodbye and left. When they were in the waiting room, they started to discuss what to do.
"I don't know guys, but we have to find out more about David's background. There has to be another place where he would be holding Sydney. I just hope we find her in time. She's done enough. She went beyond the limits." Walker said.
Gage spoke, "Why did Syd sacrifice her life, if she knew what this man was capable of doing to her?"
Walker looked at Gage, and said,
"Because she was doing her job, and she knew, if Alex or Erica got hurt, I would get mad. And she would think she isn't good enough to be a ranger, anymore."
Trivette replied with, "Come on guys. Let's go back to the headquarters to see what we can find."
And with that being said, the three rangers left the hospital to find Sydney Cooke before it was too late.
