Chapter 23: The Call

Ring, Ring

"Hello, Delgado"

"Hello, this is Tina, is Syd around?"

"No, she is still on patrol; you can reach her on her cell"

"Thanks"

Z wondered what was going on, but did not care enough, so she just went back to sleep. Meanwhile, Syd was checking on her dress for the party, when she felt her pocket buzzing.

"Hello, Drew"

"Hello, Syd"

"Hello, Tina"

"Z told me where I could reach you. I hope that was okay"

"Uh huh"

"Well, could you come and sign your contract please?"

"Maybe, where and what did you do with Melanie?"

"I told her that she was fired and now you are not doing a female duet album"

"Thanks, but yeah I could still do it"

"How"

"Well, do you remember the female singer that was after Sky the night that we saw him?"

"Yeah, I remember, but I don't know Syd"

"Why not?"

"I don't know, she might already have a label, and they might not agree to it plus I don't know if she even performs there anymore."

"She does, Sky knows her and she needs a label and I know she needs the money that we could bring in."

"Okay, done."

"Alright, as soon as you sign her, I will resign my contract."

"Alright"

When Syd left, she saw a magazine, that the headline said, "Singer dates Ranger: Sydney Drew is in love". She bought the magazine and it had pictures of them together in the park a while ago before they caught Mirloc and a picture of them on patrol together. She then saw her boyfriend talking to a woman that had a similar profile as Melanie and Syd thought not again. However, Syd was relieved when she saw that she had a little kid with her. No sooner had she reached the top of the stairs going down, when someone came up behind her and pushed her. Sky heard something and a scream that sounded familiar and then saw a bunch of people surrounding the person. He said Thanks and told her duty calls and Sky took off toward the throng of people.

"SPD, Can everyone back up?"

Sky had the guards push people back except a doctor and an intern who said they would help in any way that they possibly could. As the people were moved back and he saw that it was his girlfriend who was lying there. So overcome, Sky knew that he had to call Doggie and the base. Doggie told him that he would be there in a few minutes. Afterwards, Sky went down for the count. A few moments later Sky awoke to find the face of the intern looking down at him.

"Hey, you're back"

"What happened?"

"You just fainted"

"Why?"

"Probably shock or something like that"

"Can I get up?"

"Sure, if you can"

Sky sat up and saw the doctor checking Syd's pulse.

"How is she doing?"

"She probably has at least a broken bone, other than that she is doing much better. She passed out but that most likely was from the pain and the shock. Don't worry there is no neck injury or back injury. She very tender to the touch on her back and chest, but more than likely it is probably badly bruised"

"Thanks, for looking after her"

"Just doing my job"

Sky got up and saw that Syd was lying on her back with a jacket under her head. After Sky had checked on more on Syd and got few more details, he began asking if anyone had seen anything and quite a few had said that they had, with the amount that say that they had, with the amount that said that they had, Sky thought that it would take at least an hour to an hour and a half. Luckily for him, Sky saw Cruger walk in with a med team. He walked up to the doctor and the intern and thanked the gentleman for all their help. Then, Cruger broke up the crowd that said that they had seen something in half, so it would be easier to take statements. Only after Syd was taken care of and sent back to the base. The doctor volunteer to go to the base to make sure nothing happened along the way that the med team could not handle because they were still very much still rookies at the caring for patients or injured cadets and could not handle things the way that the more experienced med team could. After all the interviews were done Sky rode back to the base with Anubis, since the med team took his bike back with them, in the jeep.

"Sir"

'Yes, Sky"

"Can I ask you a question?"

"Sure"

"One of the people said that they saw a woman push Syd. I had them sit down with a profile computer, and it came up with a woman that looked identical to my ex-girlfriend Melanie push her. Now that I know that Melanie got fired from a duet album that she was supposed to do with Syd, I'm worried. Is it possible to put Melanie on a restraining order from Syd and me without telling Syd about it quite yet?"

"Are you concerned in the way of safety and that you think that she might hurt Syd if she got half the chance or are you concerned with Cadet Drew's feelings and that you think that if it means that you have to break Syd's heart in order to keep her safe. Keep in mind the way that you answer could dictate my answer. "

"Sir, I don't want Syd hurt either way, but this time I don't want Syd physically hurt because I think that Melanie would. I believe she would try and drain Syd down until she is too weak and then hurt her again. I think Melanie would also hurt Syd if she wants the three things I think that she does. "

"Which is what, Cadet?"

"Well, Revenge for the job and for me, giving her a reason not to be with her and I have a feeling to remove Syd to get me back. Sir, I love Syd and she and my mom are the most important people in the world. So, which one her emotions or her safety, I would want both, but if I had to pick it would be her safety."

"You just made your father very proud again Sky; I think that he would be glad that you want your teammates to be safe. I am also very proud because now that I know more about what is going on between you two, I don't have to worry because I know that you would want both, but keeping her safe even if she hated you, lets me know that I don't have to worry. I think we could get it done."

"Thanks Commander"

"Sky, you and Syd are both my rangers, and no one messes with them. Sky, also I won't worry about you and Syd being together, but you know that there is no co-eds sharing quarters unless I, Ms. Manx, or Dr. Felix give permission or it is absolutely needed such as Z is gone and Syd gets sick ."

"Sir, the only time we slept in my room was on my couch after Dru attacked her also we had been watching a movie and fell asleep, I woke up and then we walked to her room and found Z wasn't there and she was still a little frightened. I didn't think it was wise to leave her alone, so we went back and watch TV until we fell asleep again. Another thing is sir; we are not going to take that kind of step until if or when we got married. That is Syd and my wishes, so you don't have to worry about it, Sir"

"I'll be holding you to that"

When Anubis and Sky got back, Sky took off towards the Infirmary while Anubis went toward his office to take care of what they had been talking about. When Sky got to the infirmary, Sky found Kat wrapping Syd's body and arm, and found Syd asleep and not opening her eyes.

"She's fine Sky. She isn't in a coma or anything, Dr. Felix gave her a pain pill and the Doctor that you met gave her a sedative in the med vehicle to relax her and ease the pain"

"Where is the doctor, Kat?"

"He is talking to Dr. Felix and they are talking about what is best to do with the pain for Syd. He will also be becoming a regular doctor here, just until the med guys are better and so we can have a night doctor on call and a doctor that is in here"

"What is wrong, Kat?"

"A bone in her arm is sprained deep, one of her chest muscles got torn and her chest is pretty bruised, but the biggest is that both her femur and her ankle are broken. They are contemplating if they should go in and explore her leg and remove a bone part that got chipped."

"Well, I guess I just loss a team member again"

"I would say, yeah you did at least for a while because she will be well, her injuries were pretty major, and she will be taken at least out of combat for a while."

"Thanks, Kat"

When Kat went to go check something and no one else was around, he walked over to where Syd was lying and placed a kiss on her lips. Her eyelids fluttered open.

"Hello, Princess"

"Hello, my knight in Red, what happened?"

"You were pushed at the plaza; we were patrolling, luckily on to carpet to ease the fall. Syd, honey, what is the last thing that you remember?"

"I remember checking on my gown and Tina calling and telling me that she fired Melanie and then I bought a magazine about us"

"Us?"

"Yeah, it had photos of us and you in blue and talking about our relationship."

"Oh, so that was what is in the bag. Okay, anything else."

"I saw you talking to a woman that I thought was Melanie until I saw the little boy with her, and then I heard someone say when Master Cryper win, Sky will be mine and you'll be dead and then I remember being pushed and the next thing I knew I was in a med vehicle with a guy that said his name was Dr. Tyler on the way here and then he gave me some medicine and then waking up to Drs. Felix and Tyler and Kat around me and then more meds and now this."

"Oh Boy!"

"What Sky? What the heck made you say that? What is wrong?"

"Syd, it is okay, I just was surprised to see something, but I realized it was nothing. Everything is good."

Sky felt bad about lying to Syd, but he needed to say it was nothing. It was only half a lie because it wasn't what as much as it was who. And that who was Melanie.
