Chapter 6: Bobby's Wife
Back at Rangeman, Tank was sitting behind his desk, he turned on his computer went to his email. He saw an email that had the subject Bobby's wife. Tank opened the email, his mouth dropped open "Shit" he saw a picture of Bobby and Stephanie at the altar. He also saw Morelli as a witness. On the top of the picture written in red were the words He betrayed Rangeman.
Tank got on his cell phone dialed Bobby. Bobby's cell rang, while he was checking out of the hotel. "Yeah,"
"It's Tank we have a problem. There is an email that made its way around all of Rangeman. It is a picture of you, at your wedding ceremony on top of it says he betrayed Rangeman."
"Oh boy, that is a problem" Bobby let a deep breathe out. "We are just checking out, will be on the plane in an hour. Hey Tank how come you are not yelling at me, it is like you knew Stephanie and I were seeing each other?"
"I think everyone in Rangeman could tell, just by the mood you were in. Not to mention Stephanie's great mood too. We kind of figured it out on our own. So the only one you have to worry about is Ranger, but he is gone on another Special –Ops mission, so there is no telling when he'll be back. I'm rounding up everybody to fill them in now. Bobby we will take care of you, your family that is what we do." Tank closed his cell phone saw Lester leaning in the doorway.
Bobby hung up his phone; saw his wife sitting on a chair by another fire-place. "Love, it is time to get going." He put his hand out she took, after she was on her feet they walked away.
"Darling, who was on the phone?" Stephanie looked at her husband. She could tell that he was upset about something. "I will tell you when we are our way home." He opened the passenger's door; she got in and closed it. He got into the driver's side; he drove them to the airport.
Back at Rangeman
"Get everyone in the conference room" Tank left his office went to the control room. Get me a copy of that picture" Tank told them with a strained face. Once he had a copy of the picture, he walked into the conference room.
Back to Bobby
Bobby was driving, when he suddenly hit his hand on the steering wheel. Stephanie jumped at the sound of the contact that Bobby's hand made with the steering wheel.
"Darling," Stephanie moved her hand over his.
"Love I am sorry I got a call from Tank there an email going around of us during our wedding ceremony. On the top of the picture it says he betrayed Rangeman." Stephanie blew out a deep breath.
"Someone is targeting us, trying to use our friends for our enemy's." Stephanie told him. Bobby turned his head locked his eyes with hers. The rest of the ride was quiet.
They arrived at the airport, Bobby grabbed their bags. The Browns went through customs got to their seats on the plane Stephanie put her head on her husband's chest. All they could do is wait until they returned to Rangeman.
Back at Rangeman, Tank walked into the conference room he saw all the staff there waiting for him to start, "Okay ladies and gentlemen, we all knew Bobby and Stephanie were seeing each other but they did not tell us which was their right. It is also true they got married on Sunday, but it is not true they betrayed Rangeman. We know these two people love Rangeman very much. Neither one of them would do anything to hurt the company or us. We have to help them find out who is after them. We have always trusted Bobby along with Stephanie. They are family we don't stop caring for them because these two want to start a life together."
Tank walked out the conference room after the little lecture he returned to his office closed the door.
Lester went into Tank's office, "Tank I been thinking Stephanie should move in with Bobby as soon as possible, because if stalker gets a hold of Stephanie separately Bobby is going to be angry."
"I agree, so you are going with me to pick up Mr. and Mrs. Brown at the airport. Make sure Hal, Manny go to Stephanie's apartment, get everything she needs right away. Have Hal and Manny come back here, because I will Bring Stephanie's things to her." Tank told Lester.
Lester left Tank's office to give the two of them Tank's orders. When he got through he saw Tank by the door leading to the garage.
"Let's go welcome home the Browns" Tank, Lester walked their SUV got in and drove to the airport.
They got to the airport terminal, he noticed Lester walked right up to Stephanie gave her a bear hug. Lester tried to move his hand down her back almost touching her butt.
Stephanie started to notice so she broke up the hug. She returned to her husband's side while he was getting the bags, "Lester was just making moves on me" Stephanie whispered in his ear.
"I will have a talk with him later." Bobby picked up the bags saw Tank "Hey there" Bobby shook Tank's hand, "There is one more thing we need to get."
Bobby went to where he could pick up the package it was waiting at a counter. Bobby looked the package over when Lester got it in his hands. Tank noticed the small movement in Lester's lower lip as he held the package. Tank came up to Lester "Let me take care of the package for you, now why don't, I bring you two to visit Stephanie's parents. Lester, go to Rangeman to see if there is anything new." Tank said out loud.
"Sure thing," Lester walked away.
"Lester, take Bobby's car back to Rangeman" Tank yelled at him.
"Yes sir." Lester answered Bobby saw him walk away to go to the parking lot.
Tank, Bobby and Stephanie, went to the Black SUV. Bobby was going to put the bags in the truck.
"Hey I will do that you go be with your wife." Tank smiled at him a wide grin.
Bobby walked to the back seat, and saw his wife on the verge of tears.
"Love" Bobby crawled into the back seat; Stephanie just went into his arms and started to cry.
Tank shut the back seat door got into the driver's seat and stated to drive.
"Love" Bobby looked into his wife's face saw the fear in her eyes.
"Tank can you take us to a safe house please" Bobby looked at Tank who looked back at him with his eyes in the rear view mirror.
Bobby just held his wife; he noticed that she was shaking.
"Shh it will be all right" Bobby said while he was rubbing his hands down her back.
Tank stopped at the edge of Trenton, to a cabin that was in a field. "Wow this is a safe house." Bobby stared at it. "It is on one hundred fifty acres of land my dad gave it to me when I helped start Rangeman. But I don't use it, so it just sits here unused. I figure you and your wife can stay here as long as you want. I will bring over your med books so you can review for the state boards. I will also bring over some of Steph's clothes." Tank finished, he opened the trunk, and got their bags out went in with them he then put them in the bedroom.
Bobby opened the door, and Stephanie climbed into his arms, he carried her in and put her on the bed. "I will be right back" he kissed her softly the lips. He left the room and talked to Tank. The both of them went outside so they could have privacy.
"You two will be safe here." Tank looked at Bobby.
"Something is up with Lester. I noticed it while he was holding my wife."
"I know I looked at him while you were picking up the box at the counter. Bobby I need to know what is in the box." Tank looked at Bobby.
"Someone was watching us during our honeymoon, in the box there is dozens and dozens of photos of the two of us. I have never seen Stephanie this scared Tank"
"Neither have I, we will catch whoever is doing this, but for now I suggest that you two lay low." Tank gave Bobby a quick man hug, got in the SUV and left.
Bobby went into the cabin, He heard some movement in the bedroom, but saw it was, empty. He heard her throwing up in the toilet in the bathroom that was on the left side of the bedroom.
"Love" He saw a face cloth on a shelf that was hanging on the far wall. He took it and wet it under the faucet then Bobby knelt next to his wife, pulled her hair back. He wiped her face off with the face cloth. She put her arms around him. He carried her to the bed. He laid down next to her and they both fell asleep for the night.
