"Grab the lady ranger, we have a interested buyer." Sydney heard them talking through the door. How many days has she been here? She had lost track after guessing of 6 days. Her arms and legs ached from being tied for so long. The other girls had tried to help her get the bindings off, but their efforts were useless. Whoever had tied her up wanted to make sure she wasn't going to get away. So she sat ther waiting for something to happen. She promised herself though, that whatever happened, she wasn't going to go quietly.

Sydney flinched as she saw a sliver of light appear from the doorway. " Well, well, well, we thought you would have been loose already Cooke, I guess we over estimated you. I am actually a little disappointed, I was hoping to teach you a lesson." One of the men smirked as he picked her up. "What? no more bite left in your bark?"

"Why don't you untie me and we will find out." Sydney said looking straight into their eyes.

" Ha ha. Looks like we weren't disappointed Kevin. Darkness isn't goin to break her spirit."

The two men brought Sydney to a van." Goin for a little ride ranger." Kevin placed her in the back of the van." Don't worry, Scott has a good home lined up for you." With he shut the door and climbed into the front seat of the van. She had to get out of there. She had to get those other girls out of there as well, but how. Sydney looked around the van for anything to help her get out of this situation. In the back of the corner she noticed a tire iron.

"You got it now Cooke" Sydney slowly slid her way towards the back of the van. Even though she was tied up, her hands were still in front of her. If she could get enough strenght in her swing, she would be able to take them out. First the passenger, then the driver. "Keep quiet, and move slowly, don't screw this up." She told herself as she grabbed the tire iron. Slowly she pushed her way towards the driver and passenger seat. "I warned them. I told them just to let me go, why do they all have to be so damn stubborn." With that final though Sydney brought the tire iron down upon one of her captives heads. He immediatly slumped over and she was able to grab his gun.

"Pull over." She commanded, pointing the gun at the driver. "

"Easy, ranger."

"Pull over now." She cocked the gun. "I am not playing anymore. Pull over or you will join your friend."

"You actually going to shoot me? I thought you were a cop!"

" No, see there is where you are wrong, I amn a Texas Ranger, and see your boss made a mistake, he took out a good friend of mine, then you kidnap me and lock me in a dark room with several other girls who are scared to death and now you are wanting to sell us to some men as slaves. No see on a usual day I wouldn't shoot you, but see you have pissed me off and I will take out anybody who stands in my way to get me and those girls out of here. Do you understand, NOW PULL OVER!." He saw fire blazing in her eyes and knew she wasn't kidding. He pulled over. " Now untie me." He pulled out his knife and cut the bindings that were holding her arms and legs together. "Get out of the van." Sydney worked the kinks out of her arms and legs. Things were going smoothly now. She had the upper hand. Her heart ached to get back to Gage. To make sure he was still alive, but she had to get those girls out of there first. She had no other choice.

"What are you going to do with me?" The man asked fear rising in his voice.

"Going to teach you a lesson." With that she did a round house kick to his head and watched him fall to the ground. Sydney climbed back into the van, and turned around. She was going to get those girls and head back to Dallas. Her only question was, where was she?
