Ranger's POV
Telling you're pregnant wife her 2 favorite people were missing, and may have a stalker didn't go over as well as I hoped it might. I thought she would be relieved that she wasn't the one with the stalker this time, that so was not what was happening.
"You mean my poor Tank is out there with some psychopath, and you're here eating pizza?" She said, and I saw tears building up in her eyes. "Why aren't you out there looking for him? My car is loaded down with trackers have you used them to try to find him?" she asked the tears spilling out.
"Let me get this straight both Tank and Lula are missing yet the only one you're worried about is Tank?" I asked confused as to why that was. She was right about the trackers though, I don't know how I forgot about them. I even had one on Lula's car cause Steph rode with her sometimes.
"Ha! They'll bring Lula back in five minutes, that woman is more annoying than 10 children on a sugar buzz. I love her and all but the woman could talk you're ear off," she said. "Now, let's go." she got up then paused looking down at the pizza. "Well let's get this boxed, we can eat this while we search for Lula and Tank. God I hope Tanks ok. I know how Lula can be in these situations, for his benefit I hope they duct taped her mouth shut." Hector helped Cal box up the remaining pizza, and then he stepped in front of Stephanie as we left the restaurant. They led Stephanie to my car and deposited her into the front seat.
"Meet us back at RangeMan, we'll decide what to do from there," I said. Both guy's nodded, and left to get into their own car. I sighed. God I only hopped Tank and Lula were ok.
Tank's POV
If she didn't shut up I was going to kill her myself forget the men who had kidnapped us. Kidnapped us? That just didn't seem to fit we weren't kids, well one of us was sure acting like one, and it wasn't me. I had to keep reminding myself that she was Stephanie's best friend and that I loved her. That if we weren't in this position she wouldn't be complaining so much.
"Please, someone duct tape her mouth shut I cant take it any more," I said. "Lula, please, for the love of god, Shut up! I cant think! How am I suppose to think of a way out of this if I cant think at all?" Oh boy that was the wrong way to go, I told my self as she turned her head to look at me.
"Listen here Mister. I think I'm so tuff. You tell me to shut up one more time and I'll shove my foot up you're ass. You got that?" She said. Women, they were so dramatic. I mean seriously do they ever listen to the ridicules things that come out of their mouths?
"Just be quiet before they come in here, and decide to make you quiet. I need peace to think about what to do. Man woman if this is what you're like when things go wrong during take downs with Stephanie I feel for her," I said, shaking my head.
"That's it I'm not talking to you any more, and you can yell for help from here out cause I'm going to be quiet," she said.
"Praise Jesus!" I said. Finally the room was filled with silence, and it felt great. Now I could think. We had been cut off a block from Lula's house. I had been in Stephanie's car, which was loaded with trackers so they would find it. Both cars were surrounded by teams of huge men my size. They pulled Lula out, who was of course, screaming her head off. They threw her in a van after restraining her in a pair of cuffs. I fought but I'm embarrassed to say I was taken down, and hand cuffed and thrown into the back of the van as well. Now we were in some building. I don't think we were to far away from where we were taken because we hadn't been in the van a long time before they stopped and blindfolded us. They then pulled us out of the van, and dragged us into this building. Lula was kicking, and screaming the whole time. I was surprise that they didn't tell her to be quiet or make her quiet.
We were tied to chairs, and whoever tied these knots is real good. I honestly didn't know how we were going to get out of this one. I guess we were just going to have to wait and hope Ranger and the guys found us. I don't know why we were taken or what they want, but they must want something or they wouldn't have taken us. I sighed now who's fault was it that we were taken mine or hers.
Lula's POV
I'm pretty sure this is my fault. That this has something to do with what I saw in Vegas. Hey it wasn't like I told anyone, so why were they coming after me? I mean after all these weeks they just now coming after me to make sure I stay quiet. They must be new to the whole criminal thing. Morons. Someone see's you shoot someone, and you don't go after them right away. I mean even I knew you got rid of any complications and I'm not a criminal. I should have went to the police, or told Tank and Batman, but I was scared now I wish I had cause look at where I am now. Tied to this here chair and pissed.
Lord just get me out of this mess and I will never witness another murder again, and not tell. I should at least tell Tank that this mess is my fault, it might help us get out of this mess, yet the jerk yelled at me to be quiet. I was determined not to speak again just to show him. Yet this was serious, and I knew it was the right thing to do.
"Tank, I really need to tell you something," I said. He looked over at me, he had a, here we go again look on his face.
"What is it Lula, I have to be honest I have no clue as to a way out of this mess. Whoever tied these ropes is really good at knots. So if you're wondering if I have thought of a way out of here I haven't," he said he looked close to defected. Poor man.
"No, I was going to say that I think I know why we were taken. This is my fault. I know I should have said something and my light probably burns a little less bright because I didn't tell," I said looking down at the floor then back at up. "When we were in Vegas I witness a crime. I saw a man get shot and I didn't tell anyone. I think that why these men are after me now. You were only taken because you were in the wrong place at the wrong time. I should have told what I saw, but I let my fear keep me silent. I'm really sorry."
"You should have told us, you saw a man get killed and told no one? How could you do something like that? You put you're life in danger not telling. See where we ended up. I hope Ranger finds us cause that's our only hope besides them letting us go," he said. He was mad I could understand him being mad I should have told and I didn't.
"I know I should have, I'm sorry really. I feel horrible. I keep thinking about that mans poor family and how they have no closure. If we get out of this I'm going to the police and telling what I saw," I said.
"We'll get out of this, Ranger and the guy's will find us. We'll be fine," He said. "Don't ever keep a secret like that from me again, and if you ever see something like that again you tell. Actually I cant believe you didn't tell usually you freak out and go nuts when things like that happen. I'm surprised you were able to keep quiet about it this time."
"Well I was a little tipsy, and I wasn't sure it was real, then I saw it on the news the next day," I said. "Then I knew it was real."
"Well this is a real drag, I just hope the guys work fast, obviously these guy's will kill," he said sighing. "Only us, crazy things always happens to us. Stephanie blows cars up, and you witness murders." what could I say to that Stephanie dose blow up cars well technically it really wasn't her fault, but still. Yet this was the only murder I had witness, and I had no plans to repeat it. I wasn't going to argue with the man though. I sighed, and prayed that Batman came and rescued us. I wondered what my white girl was up to. Probably no good knowing her.
Stephanie's POV
Both my car, and Lula's car were located a block away from Lula's house. I wanted to go with them to check it out, but Ranger wouldn't let me. I put up a fuss, which led to minor fight , and me being mad. Well really not a fight since it was me yelling and Ranger saying, "You're not going Babe." Men! Stupid jerks.
"Stephanie, don't be so mad, it for your own good that you stay here," Hector said. "Much safer here."
"Much more frustrating to. I want to know what's going on, and look for clues," I said. He chuckled
"You are to restless for your own good, we should go to the gym and you can walk that energy out," Hector said, "Come on lets go he said and pulled her to the elevator.
No one was in the gym due to the fact that everyone else was pretty much looking for Lula and Tank. I felt useless. They were two of my best friends, and I should be looking for them as well. Only I was pregnant and limited to what Ranger would let me do.
After a half hour we left the gym and went back to Rangers office on five, to wait for Ranger's return. I laid my head down on the desk and the next thing I knew someone was kissing my cheek, and brushing back my hair. I woke up and found Ranger beside me.
"Hey, did you find anything?" I asked.
"Yes, we found something come to the Bombshell room with me," he said. "we're going to go over what we found with the rest of the team." the Bombshell room was a big room where the team gathered to go over a case. The guys had named it the Bombshell room, after me because they had gathered in here to discuss my situations I got into with stalkers many times. I got up and fallowed him out of his office, and into the Bombshell room. Everyone else was already there waiting to here what we had. I hopped it would lead up to Tank and Lula. I missed my friends and were worried about their safety. We took are seats and the meeting began.
