Walker, Texas Ranger: The Answers are at Sea
Gage and Sydney got those people out and by that time the alarm for the whole ship to evacuate to the main deck had been set off.
Thankfully, the TeddyBear ship had been able to go down to where the Sunshine Texas was beginning to go down.
They helped person after person after person, child after child onto the TeddyBear.
When the crew and almost everybody else was onto the other ship a woman ran up to Gage and said, "Marie! I can't find my Marie!" The woman rambled on for a few more mintutes.
Then Gage said, "Ma'am slow down. Where did she go?"
"To our room, our room!" The woman yelled. Sydney was listening and watching Gage talk to the woman, "She wanted to get her doll and she ran to her room! Please!"
"Okay, miss," Gage said, "What room were you in?"
"Room G7! G7!" The woman repeated.
"Okay," Gage said, "Get on the boat and I'll get Marie. I won't come back without her."
The woman nodded, but she was very worried. Gage was about to go down to the G deck when Sydney stopped him and said, "Gage you must be crazy! The G deck has to be half-filled with water by now!"
"I know," Gage answered, "That's why I have to go. If I'm not back in 10 mintutes-"
"-Don't say that." Sydney interuppted.
"I have to, you know what to do." Gage finshed.
He ran back down. Sydney watched him go. At first she looked around the ship. Everyone else was on the TeddyBear by now. Sydney waited and waited. She looked at her watch. It had been 11 mintutes.
Sydney knew that Gage would of been back by now. So Sydney deicded to go and look. There was no way she was going to leave without him. Not just because they were partners either.
She pass the E and F decks. When she got to the G deck the water was rushing right below her knees. It was coming in fast too.
She couldn't believe that this was happening. She almost laughed out loud when she realized that they last day or so had been like a cross between Speed 2 and Titanic.
She hated Speed 2. And Titanic was just tragic. That's what made here worry.
She looked forward down the hall of rooms. Abiut halfway down there was a barrier blocking the way. It was some wooden debris. Not a good thing. She hoped that that's wasn't what was keeping Gage.
But it was.
Sydney passed rooms G5 and G6. As she looked ahead she realized that the debris was blocking the door to room G7. She looked around for any sign of Gage.
"Gage!" She yelled, "Gage!"
Then Sydney heard a voice calling from the room, "In here Syd, we're in here! We're okay but the water's coming in fast and we can't get out!"
"No wonder. The door is blocked!" Sydney yelled back.
She tired to get the stuff out of the way, but it was no use. She pushed and pushed the debris and she actually got it so the door could open alittle.
"Gage!" She yelled, "It's starting to open!"
"Here!" Gage yelled, helping a wet and frightened little girl through the door, "Take Marie and go, you can't stay, the water is coming in way to fast."
Sydney took the little girl and said, "I'm not leaving, no way."
"You have to Syd! Go, just go." Gage said. Gage decided to tell a white lie to get her to go, "I can still find a way to get out on my own. But you need to go."
Sydney thought for a moment. The water was coming in really fast and she knew that Gage would never be able to get out on his own. She didn't think that she'd be able to get the girl up, get Gage out, and get back up fast enough either. The water was just to fast.
She had had enough thinking.
She yelled, "Gage, this isn't goodbye, I'm coming back and I'm going to get you out."
"Syd," Gage yelled, "Get serious, you have to go and you can't come back. We are partners, we both knew it had to end sometime. Now go."
Sydney looked around, desperate for a solution. She still held Marie from the water. She looked at the stairs and said, "Gage, I'll be right back."
She didn't wait for a response. She ran as fast as she could up to the main deck. There the mother waited on the TeddyBear and took her daughter with open arms. She had been crying but Sydney had no time, she then ran back down to the G deck.
She heard the crew say that it was too late but she wouldn't listen. She didn't even care if the boat did leave without her. All that she cared about was getting to Gage before it was to late.
While she was running, a ax that hung on the wall in one of those glass cases did not escape her attiention. She smashed the glass with her fist and grabbed the ax.
The water was now just above her waste.
She could see that Gage was pushing on the door, but it was doing no good.
"I'm back Gage! I'm going to get you out!" Sydney yelled.
"Syd?!" Gage said, surpirsed, "Why did you come back?! Nevermind, it doesn't matter, you just have to go now, before it's too late."
"Never." Sydney answered, "I came back because I am not just going to let you die down here when I haven't even told you I love you yet!"
"What?" Gage asked, surpirsed again.
"You heard me!" Sydney answered, startled at what she had finally admited, "Besides, now is not the time or the place to discuss this."
Sydney hacked away with the ax. It took only about three mintutes to get the door open.
When she did Gage came out and Sydney dropped the ax.
Even though the water was rising and was above their wastes she still manged to throw her arms around his neck.
Gage returned her embrace and then Sydney kissed him and said, "Don't you ever scare me like that again."
Gage shook his head and said, "I promise."
Then they deicded, without words, that they had to start going.
They held hands and silently hoped that the ship hadn't left.
It hadn't.
As they drove away from the Sunshine Texas they saw the lights go off on the ship as it went down. It was a beautiful sight.
Gage and Sydney held to each other and Gage looked at her and said, "So is this the time and place to discuss it?"
Sydney smirked as she said, "Dicuss what?"
"Don't 'what?' me!" Gage said jokeingly, "Am I now to believe that you tell people you love them in life and death situation?"
Sydney laughed and said, "Would you buy it?"
"Yeah right." Gage said sarcasticly, "I'll buy that just like I bought it when you said you kissed me just cause you were excited."
Sydney let out a sigh of disbelief.
"You know Syd," Gage started as he looked at her, "I love you too."
Sydney put her arms around his neck and said, "I know."
Gage and Sydney got those people out and by that time the alarm for the whole ship to evacuate to the main deck had been set off.
