Walker, Texas Ranger: The Answers are at Sea
"Walker," Trivette said after hangin up the phone one Thursday midday.
Walker walked over beside Trivette's desk and asked, "What is it Trivette?"
"Ever hear of the Starlight Cruise line?" Trivette asked.
Walker thought for a moment and then said, "Yeah, they sell cruises in the Golf of Mexico, right? Isn't that suppose to be the largest cruise line in all of Texas?"
"Almost." Repiled Trivette, "There is another cruise line called Sunshine Texas. Starlight's biggest rival. They've been competing for costumers since day one."
Walker acknowleged.
"Anyway, I just got a call saying that ever since about 6 months ago Starlight's buyers started going down while Sunshine Texas's went up." Trivette started to explain.
"So Starlight was losing costumers to Sunshine Texas." Walker repeated what Trivette had explained, "Then what happened?"
"Well," Trivette went on, "Lately some strange things have been going on on Sunhine's ships."
"Strange things?" Walker asked, "Like what?"
"3 months ago one of Sunshine's ships was disbled by some goons. Looked like they broke in and sabitoged the engine so it couldn't run." Trivette explained, "Sunshine Texas had to cancel all their cruises until all the ships had been checked."
"I see where this is going." Walker repiled, nodding his head.
"Yep," Trivette nodded also, "Reported that yesterday 12 of Sunshine's crew memebers were injured and 1 killed when there was a small explosion while they were out on a test run." Trivette paused before he said, "And all the while Starlight's number of costumers had gone up."
Walker nodded. "So we should go under cover on cruise ships to get the inside scoop on what's going on."
"I agree." Trivette said.
"Okay," Walker said, "I want to get the scoop on what exactly is going on inside the ships cruise line. Set Gage and Sydney up to go on a cruise on one of Sunshine Texas's ships while me and you stay back so Gage and Sydney can contact us with any information. Something fishy is going on here."
"Are you sure Gage and Sydney will accept the assignment?" Trivette asked.
Walker nodded and said, "They will." As he turned to find Gage and Sydney he murmured to himself, "I'm sure of it."
Walker found Gage and Sydney walking down the hall toward him.
"Hey you two," Walker started, "I've got an asignment for you."
After Walker explained what was going on Gage and Sydney reluctently accepted the assignment.

"I think this could be fun." Gage said to Sydney as they were on their way out the station door to go home for the day. "Sorta like a vacation."
"Yeah, well, we are still going to hafta work too." Sydney reminded him, "Don't forget what were are there for."
"Aw Sydney," Gage said mockingly, "All work and no play, huh?"
"Ha ha ha." Sydney retorted sacasticly, "Very funny. Now don't forget, we meet here at 9:00 in the morning tomorrow to get our tickets from Trivette, then we go down there and board. Okay?"
"Okay okay." Gage said.
Right before they split up to go home Sydney turned and said, "Gage, don't forget to pack."
"Oh yeah," Gage said sarcasticly, "Gee I would of forgotten."
Sydney smirked and said jokingly, "See, now what would you do without me?"
Gage quickly repiled, "Go on a vacation!"

The next morning they were all at the station and Gage and Sydney had their bags in the car.
Trivette then handed them their tickets and said, "Uh, there was only one room left avalible on such short notice." Gage and Sydney rolled their eyes and then Trivette asked mockingly, "Wanna take a guess?"
"I'm guessing it's the boiler's room." Gage said laughing.
Sydney rolled her eyes and said, "No, I bet it's a room the size of a paper clip."
Trivette laughed.
"Well what's so funny?" Gage asked. By the look on Sydney's face you could tell she seconded the question.
"It's just that, you're both wrong!" Trivette answered.
"So," Sydney asked, "What is so funny about that and what room are we in?"
"You're in the honeymoon suite." Trivette smirked.
"Aw gosh!" Gage said laughing, "That is not funny!"
At the same time Sydney rolled her eyes and laughed as she said, "You're sleeping on the floor."
"No problem with that." Gage answered.
"Alright," Sydney said after a moment's small talk, "Let's get out of here."
