Chapter 7, which is supposedly the last one :)

Trivette searched through the database while Gage walked back and forth on the floor. He was nervous, you could say that miles away.

„Gage, don't worry, we'll find her,"Walker tried to calm him down.

Gage nodded but didn't say a word.

„I got it! His address is Galveston Avenue 251,"Trivette declared.

He started to go with Walker as Gage followed them.

„Gage, what are you doing? You are prohibited to fight,"Walker said as he saw Gage behind them.

„Look Walker, we're dealing with Syd's life here, okay? I don't want to sit here in anticipation of you, not knowing if she's alive!"he nearly yelled back.

Walker sighed as he saw the determination in his eyes and replied, „Fine, but be careful."

Syd sat on the floor of her room. She hoped that Gage and the others would get there in time and that Martinez couldn't do anything to her.

Just as she finished that thought, Martinez walked in.

„Hello, my lovely Sydney. I hope that you have calmed down after your little performance before there,"he smirked and looked at her.

„Don't get your hope too high Martinez,"she warned him.

He laughed and then said, „Syd, you can call me Tommy just like you used to do. Now that I have found you again, it's all back to normal."

Syd sighed and replied, „I told you, Martinez, we are not together, I don't love you!"

„Oh you will love me and you will show this to me right now! Unbutton your shirt!"he shouted.

But Syd shook her head and only said, „No."

Then Martinez pulled out a gun and repeated, „Take it off now if you don't want to get a bullet in your pretty body!"

Syd had no other choice so she did it.

Walker, Trivette and Gage had arrived Thomas's house.

„Gage, you go in front, we'll take the back door,"Walker commanded and he did so.

They broke in and searched through the first floor. As they came up with nothing, Walker pointed to the stairs and he went upstairs with Trivette.

But Gage noticed a basement door and went through it.

He could hear someone talking, „Now, that's better. Do you know what's next?"

Gage reached down and saw a man standing with his back to him and pointing a gun at Syd.

„Texas Ranger! Put your gun down slowly and step to the wall!"he commanded putting his gun at the man's head.

He smirked but did as Gage told him and stepped away.

Gage rushed to Syd, „Are you okay?"

She nodded, „Yeah, just a bit shaken up."

Just then, Martinez pulled out a hidden gun and pointed at Syd whom he was completely facing, „Die you little bitch!"

They both turned to look and as he fired the shot, Gage jumped in front of her and took the bullet for himself that hit right his heart.

„No!"Syd cried out. She knocked Martinez out and ran back to Gage.

He was not moving but she still heard him breath.

„Gage, please wake up. This is the second time already that you have done this. You can't leave me like this, I love you too much,"she whispered to him, caressing his eyes, tears running down her cheeks.

Walker and Trivette came in. Seeing Gage, they put their heads down and Walker said, „I'm so sorry Sydney."

But Syd opened Gage's shirt to see how much it had damaged him. As she did it, she got a bright smile over her face.

He was wearing a bulletproof vest and Syd cried, „He's alive thank God!"

Just then Gage opened his eyes and asked, „What happened?"

Syd smiled and replied, „Not much, just that we thought that you were dead."

So is this the end or not? You tell me if you want to read some romantic stuff between them, although they're already together in many ways :)
