It was approaching 5:00 o'clock. Kathleene watched as Stephanie threw up for the fourth time after trying to eat some crackers. She looked down at her watch and told her she had to go back to work now. Stephanie waved her off and lay back on the bed with her tummy rolling. Ranger was still parked up the street out of site and he was thinking of how he would just love to hold Steph in his arms and kiss her but knew she wasn't there to do so. A small green camary drove by him and parked in the salons lot. He saw a woman get out and just knew it was her, Kathleene.
Ranger started up his car and pulled into the lot next door and sat a minute watching her thru the plate glass window. He felt hate towards this woman and would love to drag her out by her hair. He never usually felt this way about women but she had his baby and the woman he loved in some kinda house chained to an old dirty mattress or bed. He got out slowly and walked to the salon and went in. The jiggle bells gave him away as Kathleene say him. Hey eyes wide as she looked at him in front of thought she would play it cool and just treat him as another customer. She got her pen out and asked him what she could do for him.
"You know who I am?" he asked her
"I'm sorry sir I don't" she said smiling
"Kathleene magowski?" he asked
She looked up at him and saw the look he gave her and knew he knew who she was. She stood up and ran for the back door right into the arms of a huge black man. Ranger made it to the back and saw his right hand man Tank holding Magawski in his huge arms.
"WHERE IS SHE?" Ranger shouted at her
"I don't know what you're talking about" she said to him
"DONT PLAY WITH ME, YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I AM CAPABLE OF" he told her
"I don't know who you are or what you want" Kathleene told him
Ranger gave Tank a nod and he took her and placed her securely into the waiting SUV in the back lot. Ranger walked casually into the salon told the manager Katleene was a wanted woman and not to expect her return and walked out to his car. Making it back to RangeMan and seeing Tank had deposited Kathleene into a holding cell.
"She say anything on Stephanie?" he asked
"No nothing" Tank told him
Ranger walked into the holding cell and pulled out his gun, his mace, his hand cuffs, and his stun gun. He laid them all on the table in front of Kathleene in a single straight file row.
"Where is Stephanie?" he asked her
"I don't know a Stephanie" she said looking at each piece of weaponry on the table
"I know you know her, I have you on tape taking her by force" he said holding up the cuffs
"ha it wasn't by force" she said the cupping her hands over her mouth knowing she just said she didn't know Steph
"Why Stephanie? You left her notes and calls saying she killed your father. If your father was Greenoli I was the one who killed him not her" Ranger told her
"I know it was you, I saw the whole thing, I know he had her and you rescued her, he pulled on you and you shot him" Kathy said
"Then why take her?" he asked
"To get you" she said narrowing her eyes at Ranger
"All right fair enough, you want me you got me pick your weapon" he told her
Tank and all of RangeMan was watching as their boss just stood there and was giving himself over to the mad woman in the cell. They watched as she picked up the gun and leveled it at Ranger.
"Shit" Tank said as he stormed the room
"Tell your goons to back off" Kathleene told him
Ranger looked over at Tank and his men and told them to stand down. Tank was hesitant to do so since he was Rangers shadow and was to protect him. When he was told to stand down again he did so.
"Well Kathleene you go me you don't need Steph anymore. Let her go" he told her
"NO" she said
"Yes. She pregnant Kathleene she needs to be in bed and well fed and showered and to keep the baby safe. You don't want to harm an innocent unborn baby do you?" he asked playing on her sympathy
Kathleene had tears coming down her cheeks and the gun began to shake in her hands. She tried to steady it but it was no use.
"I took care of her. I didn't hurt her it was you I only wanted. I knew if I had her you would come" she said
"I know that" Ranger said "where is she Kathleene?"
"In my vacation house" she told him" she's real sick, can't hold no food down or anything"
"where is it?" he asked
Kathleene shook more and her eyes were watering badly from the tears. Seeing everyone around her she knew it was over and if she did fire at Ranger she wouldn't survive.
"15 Farmington Rd" She said and saw everyone at Range Man start running
she dropped the gun on the floor and fell into a heap beside it. Ranger sat back in the chair as Tank picked her up and sat her down in front of him. Ranger picked a recording device out and told Kathleene to tell everything to him.
