borrowing them for the story.
"Wow, there is a lot we didn't know about Sydney. I never would have guessed what she has been through." Alex said in a low voice indicating she was just as upset about what she'd just heard as everyone else.
"Me neither." Trivette said in almost a whisper.
Gage had been listening to the story, feeling the anger grow stronger inside him. That man had hurt his Sydney. And he might be hurting her right now and that was enough for him to forget all the questions he wanted answered and get to work.
"Ok, so now we have something to work with here." he said and gave Sylvia a confident smile. "We will find her. We won't stop until we do, right guys?" he looked at the others and was relieved when seeing the determination in Walker's eyes.
"Of course we'll find her, Gage. Now, our first stop is at the Lawrence's place." He turned to Alex "Can you find out everything there is to know about Johnny Lawrence?"
"Sure, I'll get right on it."
Sylvia grabbed a piece of paper on the desk and a pen, then wrote down the address and handed it to Walker.
When she saw his surprised look she smiled a little.
"You don't know how many times I've almost gone there to talk to them about letting Sydney at least see her daughter. But she made me promise never to take a risk like that for her."
"You should go back to where you're staying, Sylvia. You have helped us so much and I doubt there is anything more you can do. But if you think of anything else that could be helpful just call us. Now, go home and get some rest."
Sylvia nodded in agreement. She put on her coat and picked up her bag, but before she walked out the same way she had come she turned and said:
"Thank you.....all of you. I can see why my sister trusts you."
The rangers waited until she was gone to get up and get going. Gage waited for Alex to give him the search-warrant. It took a few minutes but she showed up with it just in time, he wasn't sure he could have waited much longer. She handed it to him.
"Gage, if you meet this man, then don't let him get to you. Don't hurt him, it won't help her."
"Why do you think I would?"
"Well, I know you care about her.....a lot." She left the room leaving him to consider what she had just said. Did Alex know more than he thought she did about his feelings for Sydney? Maybe she did or maybe she didn't but that didn't really matter now anyway. What mattered was to find her.
I can't believe I didn't know anything about this. She lost her daughter, maybe for ever if we don't do something about it."
He ran downstairs to where Walker and Trivette were waiting for him. They all jumped in the truck and headed for the Lawrence's house.
