DON'T TAKE THE GIRL
PART2
Gage sat in Trivette's car looking out the window his mind trailing off to when he was in high school. He could see Jade in his mind. He looked into her eyes; they looked like the eyes of an angel. The outside of her eyes were green and the center was hazzle. He smiled thinking back to when he just sat with her in his arms looking into those eyes.
She was his shinning light the one that made him see that everything in his future was going to be alright as long as he had her by his side.
1989 Flashback
Gage held Jade in his arms by the pond next to her house as they looked out at the ducks floating on the water.
"Francis, I hope that life is always like this." Jade confided in him.
"I'm sure that it will," he assured her as he lent down to kiss her forehead.
She looked up at his face and smiled, "I am not sure of it I know it."
Gage watched how her face lit up knowing that she was truly happy, "Jade I love it when you look at me that way."
"What way is that Francis?" Her face lit up more as she spoke.
"You know what, when you look at me in the way that makes the whole world seem to light up," he reminded her of what he had said a million times before then.
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot about that," she teased.
"Oh really," he then started to tickle her in the areas that he knew that she was ticklish at.
"Francis.stop.that," she said in between laughing.
"Stop what?" He asked stopping the tickling.
End of Flashback
"Gage did you hear what I said?" Trivette asked.
"What sorry Jimmy, what was that?" Gage asked as he was brought back to the present.
"I said that we're here," Trivette repeated.
"Oh yeah, let's go eat I'm starving," Gage then got out of the car following Jimmy into CD's.
Trivette watched as Gage picked at his food, "ok what's going on and don't say that it's nothing," Trivette asked his curiosity getting the better of him.
Gage pulled out the ring that was meant to be Jade's and showed it to Trivette, "this belonged to a person that I use to care about when I was in high school.
Trivette looked at the ring, "it's nice what ever happened to her?"
"She was murdered," Gage told him as he trailed off not wanting to talk about it any further.
Trivette noting that Gage was caught in his own thoughts again decided to let him be for the time being knowing that he could talk to Sydney later about it.
That Night Ranger Headquarters
Gage sat at his desk going over the notes that he had gotten on Jades murder all those years ago and he was saddened to think that her killer was never brought to justice.
He was looking at the files as the phone started to ring and caught him off guard making him jump, "Gage."
"Gage, what's going on? You were supposed to be home two hours ago?" Sydney asked her worry clear in her voice.
"Sorry Honey, I'll tell you everything when I get home," he assured her.
"I have a better idea, why don't I come to Headquarters and meet you and we can go somewhere to talk," she offered.
"Not to night Syd, maybe tomorrow we can go out."
"When will you be home?"
Gage looked at his watched then sighed, "In about an hour."
"Ok see you then.oh and Gage I love you," she reminded him as she hung up the phone.
Gage looked at the phone for a moment whispering, "I love you too, Syd."
Gage waited a few minutes reading the rest of the files then decided that it was time to call it a night. He let his eyes wonder to the computer screen and sighed reading how the case was never solved. He thought maybe he would ask Walker later about reopening the case.
Heading to the door he was ready to go home to his wife and tell her what was going on.
Getting into his car her heard someone call to him, he froze where he sat as he remembered who the voice belong to, Jade. He shook his head, "you're loosing it Gage."
As he started the car he heard the voice again coming from behind him, "Francis."
Gage looked in his side mirror to see Jade's body on the ground behind his car. He stopped the car and got out to find that there was noting around him, "Get a grip Gage," he told himself as he got back into his car and headed home.
Gage entered his apartment door to be met by Sydney, "hey Honey."
He smiled at her as she came to his side and kissed him. He pulled her into his arms and held her for a moment, "I love you so much Sydney Gage."
"Trust me I love you too," she assured him. She then pulled out of his arms and looked at him, "what's going on Gage?"
Gage closed his eyes and then opened them, "Sydney I have to tell you about someone that I loved a long time ago," he took her hand leading her to the couch.
Gage pulled out the ring handing it to Sydney, "I bought this for my high school sweetheart. She was killed in 1989. Syd she was killed in front of me. I was going to ask her to marry me but I never got the chance."
"Oh Gage," she pulled him close to her.
"I found the ring today in my desk.I had forgotten all about it, but then when I looked at it.It brought back bad memories along with a lot of good ones."
"What was she like?" Sydney asked.
"She was wonderful," he confessed, "Syd I was looking over some reports at headquarters and I want to ask Walker to open the case back up."
Sydney gave him as kiss, "thanks for telling about this."
He pulled her close, "I love you too much to keep this from you."
