Riddles
Chapter 4
By: Kary G.
Back at ranger headquarters
Gage body shook violently and he desperately try to gasp for more air, the paramedics took him to the hospital Walker besides his friend.
Safe house
Ericka and Alex were now in tears but as soon as Gage came back to life the tears fell more but those tears were tears of joy. Trivette stood there too his eyes full with tears but a sigh of relief came out of his mouth. "Hang in there buddy" he whispered taking his cell phone out dialling to Walker.
Michael's house
Jessica walked to the kitchen hearing glasses been shatter all around the room. "Michael aren't you happy? Sydney is all yours just like you wanted. Her husband is dead." she said with an evil smile.
"No he is not!"he snapped.
"What do you mean he is not I saw him just minutes ago been covered by a sheet"
"Somehow the stupid ranger survive, we need to let Sydney believe that her husband is dead, if we keep telling her, she might forget about him, who knows? But I guarantee you that she will be mine."
At the hospital
Walker cell phone rang, Walker answered the call.
"Hello"
"Oh my god Walker, how is Gage?" the D.A. asked to her husband.
"I don't know, is been an hour but don't worry the good thing is that he is alive, How are you all doing?"
"We are fine, at first scared but now knowing that Gage is alive, we feel better, please take care of him and don't worry about us or the kids, they are fine, Trivette is here, everything is going to be ok, I love you"
"I love you too" he hung up the phone staring at the empty hallways waiting to hear good news about Gage.
Michael's house
Sydney was shaking and crying uncontrollably. Her husband and partner was dead or at least she thought he was. She couldn't believe it her mind was filled with questions. "What am I going to do with Gage?" "What about my children that I love so much? What will happen to them?" "What am I going to do now?" She whispered to herself. "Mom, I wish you was here with me." She allowed her mind to go back in time thinking of her mom and kids flashed through her mind.
Flashback: 9 years ago
Sydney sat next to to her sister Sara looking at old pictures of their mom. "I never thought I would see this pictures again, I thought I burned them." Sara looked at her sister. "Well now you see you were wrong" they kept looking through the pictures and stop looking at Sydney's mother holding a little girl. About 4 monts old who was smiling. "Oh look at you Sydney!" Sara said with excitement. Sydney's smile fade from her lips "What's the matter?".
Sydney looked at her sister. "Nothing Sara. Everything is fine. I just miss mom so much she was in my head that whole time after I was kidnapped by Ramon." Sydney shudder at the thought of bringing up his name.
"Sydney stop torturing yourself it was not your fault"
"The good thing is that you weren't there with us you were staying with one of our aunts"
"Yeah I guess you are right, well I have to go to work, take care" Sara hugged her sister leaving Syd there with the pictures in front of her. She took a pen and paper and started to write:
Mama you gave life to me
Turned to baby into a lady
And mamma all you had to offer
Was a promise of a lifetime of love
Present
Sydney smiled remembering her mother's eyes, her warm smile, her voice it was painful but it was the only way to feel safe, she then thought of her daughter Sienna long dark hair and those chocolate eyes just like her, but her smile and the way she acted was just like her husband Gage and Matthew even though it was not her son she loved him with all her heart. Sydney looked around her "room" and noticed that it wasn't that bad at all, there was a king size bed, with a nice bathroom, a small window, but no TV or telephone, the walls were painted with a beautiful light green, maybe for all the crying she didn't saw the room, she walked to a piano that was on the corner, she sat in the bench and with her fingertips touched the soft keys of the piano, fortunately there was a pen and paper in a drawer near the bed she took it out and started to remember the song the same song that she wrote 9 years ago. After writing the whole song she let her fingers play with the piano and a soft and beautiful melody was heard, she waited a few more seconds and started to sing.
Mama you gave life to me
Turned to baby into a lady
And mamma all you had to offer
Was a promise of a lifetime of love
Now I know there is no other love like a mother´s
Love for her child
I know that love so complete someday must leave
Must say goodbye
Goodbye´s the saddest word I´ll ever hear
Goodbye´s the last time I will hold you near
Someday you´ll say that word and I will cry
It´ll break my heart to hear you say goodbye
Momma you gave love to me
Turned a young one into a woman
And mamma all I ever needed
Was a guarantee of you loving me
´Cause I know there is no other love like a mother´s
Love for her child
And it hurts so that something so strong
Someday´ll be gone
Must say goodbye
Goodbye´s the saddest word I´ll ever hear
Goodbye´s the last time I will hold you near
Someday you´ll say that word and I will cry
It´ll break my heart to hear you say goodbye
But the love you give will always live
You´ll always be there every time I fall
You are to me the greatest love of all
You take my weakness and you make me strong
And I will always love you till forever comes
And when you need me
I´ll be there for you always
I´ll be there your whole life through
I´ll be there this I promise you mamma
I´ll be your beacon through the darkest night
I´ll be the wings that guide your broken flight
I´ll be your shelter through the raging storm
And I will love you till forever comes
Goodbye´s the saddest word I´ll ever hear
Goodbye´s the last time I will hold you neat
Someday you´ll say that word and I will cry
It´ll break my heart to hear you say goodbye
Till we meet again until then goodbye
"Goodbye" Sydney whispered to the air and put her head in her hands and cried once again.
