Chapter 18

Tank got on the phone to Ranger, "Boss, we have a problem. Eddy Garzarra has been kidnapped." Tank told him.

"Shit, let's get to your house, and ask Stephanie about his wife's information." Ranger told him.

"Right, I am on my way." Tank told him.

"Captain, I am going to speak to my girlfriend. She is Eddy Garzarra's Cousin in law. He is married to her cousin Shirly the Whiner as she puts it." Tank told him. "I will keep you informed." Tank walked out of the Precinct and drove back to his house as fast as he could.

"He arrived at his house in record time. He ran into his house, "Little One!" He yelled.

Stephanie came out into the Kitchen, "Hey there are you okay?" She asked Tank. He took her into his arms and held her. He got on the phone to Ranger, "I got her and she is safe." Tank said.

"Thanks Tank" Ranger said and then he shut his phone out.

"Tank what is going on?" Stephanie said as she looked at Tank.

"Sit down Little one." He spoke. Stephanie sat down on a stool that was by the island. "Stephanie, Eddy got kidnapped. We need to notify his wife. Can you help me with that?" He asked her gently.

"Okay, deep breath Stephanie." She said out loud.

Just then Tank's phone rang, "Yeah, a ransom call came in to Eddy's wife for one million dollars." Captain Thompson told him.

"Thanks Captain, I will stay here with Stephanie and make sure she is safe." Tank told her.

"Hey I see you are in Rangeman gear. Are you back with them and are you happy to be back with them?" Stephanie said.

"Yeah, I am very happy to be back at Rangeman." Tank walked around the island to his girl. He took her in his hands and kissed her very deeply.

"It has been a long time sense I felt this way about any woman. I had some feelings for Lula, but not really strong feelings when I was with her. You mean everything to me." Tank finished talking to her.

"Tank got down on one knee and asked "Stephanie Michelle Plum will you marry me?" Tank pulled out a one carat diamond ring."

"Tank of course I will marry you" Stephanie answered her. He got up and put the engagement ring on her left hand.

He gave her a deep passionate kiss. He picked her up and carried her to the bedroom.

He laid her down on the bed. He looked at his future wife. He kissed her deeply on the lips. He looked her up and down. She kissed him deeply, he moved his hands under her shirt.

He lifted her shirt off her, and then started to suck on her breasts. She got his shirt off, and started to move her hands down his bare back. He moved his hands down her legs, and managed to get her pants an underwear off. She got his cargo pants and boxers off. "Stephanie, I love you so much, and I will love you until I die." Tank told her. He entered her slowly and then started to speed up. She matched him every time perfectly. After they finished, they looked at each other, "You are my soul mate Pierre" Stephanie told him. They fell asleep in each other's arms for the night.

The next day, Stephanie got a call from her mom, "Hi Mom how are you holding up?"

"I want to go home Stephanie." Helen told her.

"You do realize that Eddy has been kidnapped mom. Our Eddy, Shirley the whiner's husband. If you want to go home fine. I am just warning you what could happen." Stephanie hung up then.

"Tank, my mom is getting itchy, she wants out of the safe house." Stephanie told him.

"Well, we could have your mom, dad, and everybody else over for dinner. We can tell them that we are engaged." Tank told her.

"That would be great." Stephanie told him.

"Okay I will give Ranger a call" Tank told him. He got up, got dressed and made a phone call.
