Boom: Part 4
The next day when Sydney awoke she saw Gage in the chair next to her bed. "Good morning." She yawned.
He smiled lightly as he reached out and ran a hand along her cheek, "morning." He whispered. "I have bad news. We can't find Huite." He sighed.
Nodding slowly she struggled a bit to sit up, "I could have figured." She sighed as her eyes began to fill with tears.
Gage slowly stood from the chair and seated himself on the edge of the bed. Pulling her in he let her rest her head on his shoulder. "You haven't told me all the truth about Matthew Huite and you, have you?" He asked gently.
She sniffled a bit and tried to keep her composure. "While we were together he began to drink, when he did he got pretty violent." She paused and wrapped her arms around him, taking joy in his strength and comfort, "I was pregnant once, I got to four months, then he beet me one night when he was drunk, and…" Her voice broke up, she just couldn't go on.
He understood what had happened, with a light sigh he pulled her in tighter and kissed the top of her head, "I'll never let anything like that ever happen to you." He sighed and lifted her face so she looked at him, "I'll keep you safe from things like that and I'll never, ever do something like that to you." He assured her.
She nodded a bit against him, then lightly began to wipe away her tears, and sighed. "I believe you," she assured him.
Later that day as gage left the hospital he didn't notice the man watching him from across the parking lot, the man smiled as Gage neared his car, the closer he got the more the mans finger shook over the button, finally when he was within five feet the man pressed the button and Gage's car exploded in a ball of flames. Gage was thrown to the ground roughly.
Walker and Travete jumped at the explosion. When he gained his senses Walker noticed a jittery looking man off to his left. "Travet, look after gage." He ordered as he took off after the man.
When he saw the man in the cowboy hat running at him he turned and took off, it had to be another Texas Ranger and he didn't want to deal with him. Making a sharp left he tried to loose him but instead found a brick wall blocking his path.
Walker came around the corner and stopped, blocking the mans exit, "Matthew Huite." He called
Matthew pointed a finger at Walker, "don't come near me Ranger!" He called, Walker opened his mouth but he cut him off, "no, nothing you can say can change her fate, she'd mine and I'll take away her existence if I feel like it!" He snarled.
Walker put a hand up, "I can't let you hurt Sydney." He said simply. That's when Matthew decided to strike, he came forward quickly and threw a right towards Walkers face. Walker blocked his bow and countered with a right to the stomach quickly before he kicked him in the chest, sending him flying to the ground.
With ease Matthew was back to his feet and rushed Walker again. This time, instead of blocking him Walker stepped aside and pushed him into a parked car head first. Bringing him to the ground for good this time.
