It's Not Her Part 5

Chapter 13: Ranger Headquarters

Walker, Trivette and Gage had rushed to headquarters hoping to get a lead as to where Sydney was. Trivette sat typing at his computer for a few minutes while Gage and Walker were reading through statements of the people the "Bleeding Serpents" had previously attacked. Trivette looked up from his computer.

"Hey, guys, I think I may have something."

"What? An idea as to where Sydney is?" Gage asked.

"Well, I looked for property owned by Daniel Jan and found nothing, so I flipped his name around and I got something. There is a warehouse on the east side of Dallas owned by Jan Daniel. It says it has been abandoned for quite some time."

"Think that's where Syd is?" Gage questioned.

"It's our only shot. Let's go check it out." Walker said. "Gage, you better stay here. You only have use of one arm."

"I'm not staying here!" Gage protested. "One arm? I am fine!" Gage yelled as he ripped off his sling and threw it across the room. "It's a flesh wound! I'm fine."

Walker understood how Gage felt and though he did not have full use of his shoulder, as long as he was careful not to pop the stitches, he would be fine. "Okay, let's go."

"Oh, Walker, I hope she is there. If not, we are at a loss and her time is running out. They aren't going to keep her alive very long." Trivette said as the three rangers headed out the door.

"I know, Trivette. I know." Walker responded.

Chapter 14: Abandoned Warehouse on the East side of Dallas

Just as Daniel Jan was about to undo the buttons on Sydney's blouse, one of his cohorts walked in. Sydney was relieved. She knew he wouldn't be able to rape her since she was tied to a chair, but she felt sick to her stomach thinking of this man touching her. "What is it?" Jan said to the man who walked in. "Can't you see I'm a little busy?"

"We have a situation. Don Roberts, the man who hired us to kill that Rebecca girl is here and he is not happy. He wants to talk to you."

"I'll be right there." Jan said as his buddy left the room. "Well, beautiful, we are going to have to continue this in a little while," he said to Sydney as he got up. He walked over to a table, opened a drawer and pulled out a syringe with fluid in it. "So you can't somehow think of a way to get out of this, I'm going to scatter your thoughts." Jan grabbed Sydney's shirt by both sides of its collar and ripped it sending buttons flying everywhere. He then slid it down her arms as much as it would go with her hands tied leaving her stomach and bra exposed. He jabbed the syringe into her arm and said, "Be back soon!"

Sydney didn't know what she had just been injected with. She did know that she was cold, half naked and in trouble.

"Oh boy. Come on guys. Find me soon. I need help," she said to herself as she began to feel very light headed. Within minutes she was unconscious

Chapter 15: Outside of the Abandoned Warehouse

It took Walker, Trivette and Gage about fifteen minutes to get to the warehouse. When they got there, they noticed cars parked outside.

"Doesn't look too abandoned to me," Trivette remarked.

"No, it doesn't." Walker said. "Here is what we are going to do. Trivette, you and me are going to see if we can find Jan and his men and take them down. Gage, see if you can find Sydney."

The three rangers entered the warehouse and noticed that there wasn't anyone around. They did however notice two rooms on either side of the warehouse. The doors to both rooms were shut. One of the rooms was emitting a faint light from beneath it. The three rangers listened and heard yelling coming from one of the rooms.

"Hear that?" Gage asked.

"Yeah, we'll check that room. You see if Sydney is in the one over there," Walker said pointing to the door on the other side of the warehouse.

Chapter 16: One room in the warehouse

Gage ran towards the room Walker had pointed to. He had his jacket hanging off his injured shoulder to shield the stitches so that they wouldn't pop.

The door was closed, but unlocked. Gage opened the door and saw Sydney tied to a chair with her shirt unbuttoned. Her head was sagging down on her chest and he could tell she was unconscious.

"Sydney!" he yelled. He walked right up to her and put his hands on her cheeks lightly patting them in an attempt to wake her.

"Gage?" she weakly asked. "Is that you?"

"Yeah, Syd, it's me. Are you all right?" he said as he began to untie her ankles from the legs of the chair.

"I'm cold and I can't see straight."

Gage had just finished untying her wrists. She couldn't keep herself sitting up and feel against Gage's uninjured shoulder. He maneuvered his way out of his jacket and wrapped it around her noticing that the buttons on her blouse we no longer a part of her shirt.

Though he was in immense pain, he lifted his partner from the chair and held her for a moment in his arms while he kneeled on the floor.

"We need to get you to a hospital, Syd." Gage said as he she fell unconscious in his arms.

Chapter 17: Another room in the warehouse

Walker and Trivette drew their weapons and walked toward the door. Four men dressed in black were coming out of the door. As they shut it, Walker and Trivette easily took them down.

"I am not happy about this! You weren't supposed to kill her!" Roberts said.

"We had to. Set an example." Jan said smiling.

"An example for whom?" Roberts asked.

"Did you hear something?" Jan said to Roberts and his body guard.

"Isn't this place secure?" Roberts asked.

"Yeah and my men are out there, but I could have sworn I heard some boxes being knocked over."

Just then, Walker knocked the door down. He and Jan fought hand to hand as Trivette took down Roberts' body guard. When Jan and the bodyguard were down, Roberts surrendered.

Walker looked at a file on the table and noticed that Roberts was the one responsible for Rebecca Lin's death. He, his bodyguard, Jan and Jan's men were all loaded into the back of Walker's silver Ram.

Walker and Trivette turned around to see Gage carrying Sydney from the warehouse. Walker rand to the two junior partners and took Sydney from Gage. "Call the paramedics Trivette!" Gage screamed.

Soon the paramedics were there. Sydney and Gage were put in the ambulance while Walker and Trivette took their prisoners back to head quarters.

Chapter 18: Methodist Hospital, the next morning

When Gage and Sydney were brought to the hospital, Gage was sent to get his shoulder x-rayed to make sure he didn't do any more damage to it. After a few hours of waiting for the results, the doctors told him he was healing nicely and he had not done any further damage.

Sydney was taken to a room and monitored all through the night. The doctors told Gage that it would be about twelve hours before the drug she had been given was out of her system. Since this drug had been given to the other victims of the "Bleeding Serpents" the doctors were pretty sure that there would not be any long term affects other than memory loss of the last day or so.

Sydney awoke the next morning to see Gage sleeping in the chair beside her. "What are you doing here? What am I doing here?"

"Hey Syd," Gage groggily said, "you were kidnapped by Daniel Jan, head of the "Bleeding Serpents", the group that killed Rebecca Lin."

"Oh." Sydney said.

"Doctor's said you are going to be fine."

"Gage, about how I have been acting lately, I'm sorry. I was just. . ."

"Scared?"

"Yeah, scared. I don't want to ruin the friendship we have."

"Well, if I promise to hold you and tell you everything will be fine, will that make you less scared?"

"Yeah Gage, it will."

Gage sat on the edge of her bed and took her into his arms. "I love you, Sydney." Gage whispered as he was about to lean in and kiss her.

Before she could respond, Walker, Trivette and Alex appeared in the doorway.

"Hey guys." Sydney said as Gage looked up.

"Well, we came to make sure you were okay." Alex said.

"But from the looks of it, we see that you look more than okay." Trivette said jokingly.

"We just wanted to let you know that the "Bleeding Serpents" are going to jail for kidnapping a law enforcement official and murder. And Don Roberts, the man who wanted Rebecca Lin questioned, is also going to get some jail time for being an accessory to murder." Walker said.

"We'll call you tomorrow at Gage's since they should let you out by then." Alex said as the three of them left.

"At your place?" Sydney asked.

"Sounds good to me." Gage said.

"Fine, but this time I get the bed and you get the couch."

"Are you serious?"

"No." Sydney said as she laughed. "Gage?"

"Yeah?"

"I love you, too. Now kiss me already." Sydney said as she grabbed the collar of his shirt.

"Yes, ma'am."

The End.
