It's Not Her Part 4

Chapter 10: The Dallas Morgue

Walker and Trivette went to ID the body that Janet at the morgue had thought was Sydney. When they got there and saw the body, they were stunned to be staring at a girl of Sydney's stature who could have passed off as Sydney's twin.

"Trivette, call Gage's apartment and make sure Sydney is still there." Walker said still staring at the body.

Trivette grabbed his cell phone and quickly dialed. After three rings, a woman's voice said, "Hello?"

"Sydney, I'm glad you're alive!" Trivette said.

"I'm happy you're among the living too, Trivette." Sydney said as she let out a soft laugh. "What's going on?"

"We are at the morgue and staring at a girl who looks exactly like you. It must be. . ."

". . . Rebecca Lin." Sydney said letting out a huge sigh.

While Trivette was talking with Sydney, Walker asked if he could talk to Sydney for a minute.

"Hey, Sydney, it's Walker. Janet just told me a picture of you from a newspaper and a note that said, "DEATH TO SYDNEY" were found with the body. Daniel Jan, the man who attacked you, is head of a group called the "Bleeding Serpents". They get people to talk, but since you got a look at Daniel, they are probably coming after you. It's a good thing you are at Gage's. Trivette and I will be there soon."

"Ok," Sydney said, "I'll see you when you get here. Bye."

"You think they might find her at Gage's?" Trivette asked.

"We better get over there." Walker said.

Chapter 11: Gage's apartment

Right after Sydney had got off the phone, she heard Gage get up and use the bathroom. He wandered into the kitchen and started opening cabinets.

"Hungry?" Sydney asked.

"Famished is more like it."

"I made some sandwiches for us. They are in the fridge." Sydney said as she heard a knock on the door. "That can't be Walker already."

"Walker is coming over?" Gage questioned.

"Yeah. They found Rebecca Lin dead and. . ." Sydney stopped talking to go answer the door. Looking through the peep hole, she didn't see anyone.

"Everything all right Syd? Who is at the door?" Gage called from the other room. He began to walk toward the living room. When he got there he saw Sydney holding her gun as she slowly opened the door. She looked around and didn't see anyone. Closing the door she turned around to see Gage lying passed out on the floor.

"What the. . ." was all she could say before someone cracked her back from behind knocking her unconscious to the floor.

Gage woke up to more knocking on the door. "Syd?" he called looking around for her. When he didn't see her, he opened the door to see Walker and Trivette standing before him.

"Where is Sydney?" Walker asked.

"I dunno. We were talking and then we heard a knock on the door. And then I remember feeling something poke in my back. I must have blacked out. All I remember after that was you guys knocking."

Trivette stood behind Gage and noticed he had a small dart like thing sticking out of his back. "Walker, look at this. Gage stand still."

Walker stood next to Trivette and saw the dart sticking out of his back. "It is a tranquilizer dart. Someone wanted you unconscious and shot you with it. I bet it was the "Bleeding Serpents.""

"Where is Syd?" Trivette asked.

"I dunno, I just tried calling her and there was no response. I figured she was in the bathroom or something."

Walker walked down the hall looking in the rooms. "No sign of Sydney. They must have her."

"Daniel Jan?" Gage asked.

"She saw him. I bet he wanted to make sure she couldn't testify against him if he was ever caught." Walker said.

"We need to find her fast!" Gage shouted.

"You aren't doing anything. You have to rest. You only have use of one arm anyway." Trivette said.

"No, no! I need to help find Syd." Gage said.

"I know you want to find your partner. If Trivette was kidnapped, I would want to help find him, but you need to rest." Walker said.

"The way I feel about Syd being kidnapped is the way you would feel if Alex was kidnapped. Can't you understand that?" Gage blurted out.

"Whoa, man. Are you two together?" Trivette asked.

"No, I dunno. I need to help find her."

"Okay Gage, you can come with us to headquarters and help us find out where they might have taken her." Walker said reluctantly. "We can't stay here and argue all day. We are losing time."

Chapter 12: Abandoned Warehouse on the East Side of Dallas

When Sydney regained her consciousness, she found herself in a dark, dreary room. She was tied to a chair that was cemented to the floor. Her ankles and wrists were bound. "Oh great," she said aloud. "How am I going to get out of this?"

"You aren't." A voice said from the shadows. Sydney could see the silhouette of a man standing about ten feet in front of her, but since she was still trying to focus her eyes it was hard for her to make out exactly who it was.

"Are you Daniel Jan?" she asked.

"Yes, but I didn't say you were allowed to ask questions." He said as he smacked her across the face. He grabbed her chin and looked at her. "Nice bruises." He said as he laughed. "I do good work."

Syd glared at him. She wanted to crack back a sarcastic response, but felt since at the moment she was unable to stop him from hitting her again, she sat quiet. All the while she was trying to get her hands free from the tight rope that held them. The ropes were so tight though and she was only irritating her wrists, but had no idea what else to do.

"Now," Jan began, "we usually drug people, get information we need, drug them some more and let them go. But you, you are different. We don't need information from you and you know what I look like. So I can't let you go. Instead, since you are so pretty," he said as he brushed his fingers over her cheek as she tried to turn away, "we are going to have a little fun together. Then you are going to have fun with my friends. Then you are going to die. Doesn't that sound like fun?" he asked.

"A blast and a half." Sydney said in a sarcastic tone. "You'll never get away with this."

"But I already have. You're partner is one-armed at the moment and those other two rangers have no clue where we are."

Jan stood right in front of Sydney and outstretched his hand grabbing her chin once again. He roughly brought his lips to hers as she tried moving her head in every direction to get out of the kiss. While his lips were still on hers, he put his hand on the top button of her blouse.

"Gage! Help me!" she thought to herself.
