Walker left Company B and wasn't sure where to go next. His gut took him to the one person who for as long as he could remember, had this uncanny ability to always know, what came next.

"CD." Walker approached the bar, and decided not to mention familiar badge pinned on his friends left shoulder.

"Anything?"

"A lot CD, apparently Trivette was leader an undercover assignment alongside the FBI for over a month…"

"He never said a thing…"

"To me either, I know…apparently this weekend he was ambushed and barely made it out alive…he was assured they wouldn't come after him again, but the FBI was wrong…the guys weren't after that prisoner CD, they were after Trivette."

CD removed his hat and placed it on the bar. "Do you think they have him?"

"It's the only thing that makes sense other than…well…" He couldn't let himself finish.

"I know…" He looked into his friends face. "You're not sure what to do now, are you Cordell?"

"CD for one of the first times in my life, I'm scared…" He allowed himself to be vulnerable for a moment, a side of himself, he rarely ever showed.

"Well hell Cordell, that's nothing to be ashamed of…now listen…you go find this guy and bring Jimmy back…"

"Could cost me my badge CD."

CD shook his head. "Then you can have mine…I don't use it much lately anyhow, little rusty but…"

Walker smiled slightly, for the first time in days.

"Bring him back to me Cordell." CD said looking down at the bar.

That was all Walker needed to hear, as he placed a hand on CD's shoulder. "I will."

Walker headed back to Ranger Headquarters, this time every eye watched his entrance.

"You're on temporarily leave Walker." The Captain came out to meet him and Walker walked right by him to his desk, opening it and retrieving a few gun magazines and placing them in his coat pockets.

"Did you hear me?"

"No I'm sorry I didn't…this bullet wound has my system all messed up, I can't hear people who are talking out of their butt…" He shrugged his shoulders.

"What do you think you're planning on doing?" He approached Walkers desk and Walker met him face to face.

"I'm going to find my partner." He stepped back and removed his Ranger badge, placing it in the Captains hand.

"You don't want to do this Walker."

Walker turned around slowly. "The hell I don't."

Just then the other Rangers in the office removed their badges and tossed them at the Captains feet, one particularly younger Ranger speaking up.

"Things aren't always as they seem, are they Captain?"

Walker looked on as the group formed beside him. "Want some help?" One asked, with a wry smile on his face.

"Yes...Yes I would." He nodded and as he turned to exit, the group followed, leaving the Captain speechless.
