Chapter 3-Life After
"No!!" Alex screams and dashes for Gordon's room. Walker and the gang follow. The doctor says, "I am sorry but you guys
have to wait outside in the waiting room, I will be out to update you." Walker, Alex and everyone goes into the
waiting room. Walker tells Josie, "Why
don't you take Sydney, Gage and the twins to Gordon's apartment, I will call
you when we know anything. Right after
Sydney, Gage, Josie and the twins leave the hospital, the doctor appears from
the waiting room. "Mr. and Mrs. Walker,
Ranger Trivette, I am sorry, we did everything that we could, but his heart was
too weak and we lost him. Alex falls
into Walker's arms and bursts into tears. Trivette calls Gordon's apartment and Gage answers the phone, "Gage, its
Trivette. Gordon's gone." "Oh, my god, how are Walker and Alex holding
up?" "Not good, not good at all." As Trivette got off the phone with Gage,
Walker and Alex walks up. Alex says,
"Jimmy, why don't you go and get Gage, go to the airport make reservations for
you, Gage, Syd, Josie and the twins to Dallas. Walker and I are going to stay and make arrangements for Dad's body to
be transported back to Dallas with us." "Sure, Alex." Trivette
responds. Trivette leaves for Gordon's
apartment, he gets there and picks up Gage. Gage is wondering what is going on. "Gage, we are heading to the airport to make arrangements for you,
Sydney, Josie, the twins, and I to fly back to Dallas today." "What about Walker and Alex?" Gage asks. "Walker and Alex are making arrangements for Gordon's body to be
transported back to Dallas and they will take a later flight." Meanwhile at the airport, Gage and Trivette
make arrangements for all of them to fly back to Dallas. They head back for Gordon's apartment, they
get there to see the apartment in a total mess and Josie and Sydney bound to
chairs and gags in their mouth. Gage
and Trivette unties them and asks what happened. Josie says, "Two men with semi-automatic weapons broke in, they
said that they had a grudge against Gordon for losing their case, we told them
that he was dead, he said we know that he has a daughter that is an attorney
and a son-in-law that is a Texas Ranger, but we need some collateral, then they
hear CD and Emily crying in the next room and they took them." Gage and Trivette both look at each other,
Trivette calls Alex on her cell phone. "Alex Cahill-Walker!" "Alex,
it's Trivette, can I speak to Walker?" "Hold on," "Walker, Trivette is on the phone." Alex says. Trivette, what
is it?" "The twins have been kidnapped
by one of Gordon's clients they tied up Syd and Josie and ransacked the
place. Get here quick." Walker and Alex arrive at the apartment and
Alex says, "What the hell happened here? Where are my babies?" Josie was
too upset to talk, so Sydney says, "Two men broke into the apartment saying
that they had a grudge against Gordon for losing their case last month." Sydney said tearfully. She proceeded to say, "They said that they
need come collateral, so they hear the twins crying in the other room, so they
go in there and take the twins, Josie and I begged them to take one of us but
they wouldn't. I am so sorry Walker and
Alex." "Oh, my God, they took my
babies. Why is everything happening to
us this year?" Alex emotionally says. "We will get our kids back. I promise." Walker says as he is comforting his emotional wife. "Alex, why don't you, Sydney, and Josie go
to Gordon's office, checks his case files for the cases that he lost last
month? You will surely find something. Trivette, Gage and I will stay here and wait
for the ransom call." At Gordon's
office, Connie (Gordon's secretary) gets all of his files from the last month
there was only one that stood out. The
case involved Calvin LaRue, he is the brother of Victor LaRue. Victor is the one that stalked and harassed
Walker and Alex for years until Walker killed him in the courtroom. Alex sees the file and lets out a horrifying
scream. "Alex, what is the matter? Did you find anything?" Sydney says. "This guy is the brother of Victor LaRue, Victor stalked and
harassed Walker and I for years. Sydney call Walker and tell him what we found
and that we are on our way back to the apartment." Alex tells Sydney and
Josie. Sydney calls and tells Walker
what they found. The girls arrive to
find Walker talking to the kidnappers. Walker agrees to meet them at Central Park, but no other Rangers or
cops, because they will kill the twins. Walker leaves Alex and Josie at Gordon's but kisses his wife before he
goes off to get their kids back. Trivette, Sydney, Gage, and Walker all get into separate cabs and head
for different parts of the park. Walker
tells them, "You guys walk to the middle of the park from your prospective
parts of the park and hide so that you would not be seen. I will signal you when the time is
right." They see Walker and Calvin
LaRue and his posse. Calvin hands over
the twins, Walker hand him the 2 million-ransom money, he gives the signal, and
then all hell breaks loose in Central Park. Trivette, Sydney, and Gage come out of the bushes and starts kicking
butt. Walker hands over CD and Emily to
Sydney, he goes after Calvin who is running across Central Park, he proceeds to
arrest Calvin's entire posse. The NYPD
takes them to the station and charge them with kidnapping. Meanwhile, Walker, the twins, Trivette,
Sydney and Gage gets to the apartment, walks in and Alex and Josie starts to
cry. They all think God that the twins
are ok, and they precede with their plans to head for Dallas. In Dallas, Gordon's funeral went as well to
be expected. On his headstone, it
read: "Loving Husband, Father, and
Grandfather. Gordon was buried next to
Alex's mom and CD. Meanwhile at the
ranch, Walker and Alex put their precious kids asleep and proceed
downstairs. Alex says, "Why is
everything bad happening to us since we got married? CD dies, Dad dies and the twins get kidnapped! I just want one, single year where nothing
happens to us." "Just hope and
pray." Walker replies.
