Author's Notes: I'd like to thank CJ Jade once for beta reading this story for me. I made a slight change to the story, Cameron is not five when he was taken but 10. I did this because I want him to be 18 now.
The Forgotten
Memories Unknown
A woman of about 38-years-old was tossing and turning in her bed as memories unknown to her invaded her sleep once again. She continued to do that for the next few minutes and then stopped.
"No!" Neely Bauer yelled a couple minutes later jerking up in her bed.
She put her hand to her chest trying to calm her breathing down as she looked around the room and realized that she was in her apartment. This had been happening for the past week, but the dreams have started to get more real. This time she could actually feel what was happening.
"Neely," Trent Malloy her boyfriend of three years asked unsure as he sat up behind her.
"Are you okay?" he asked concerned looking worried.
"Yeah, I'm fine" she told him lying back down.
"No, you're not." He said leaning on his elbow looking down at her.
"You can always tell when I'm lying can't you?" she asked him grinning a little bit.
"You should know I can tell what's wrong with you by now," He said smiling. Before both of them could say anything the phone rang which made Neely jump which didn't go unnoticed by Trent.
"Hello," Neely said into the phone.
"Hey, Neely," The sound of her partner's voice, Trey Scott, said on the other side of the phone.
"Trey?" she asked confused as Trent looked at her while she looked at the clock and saw that it read 5:30 a.m.
"Trey, what are you doing calling me this early?" she asked.
"We got a new case…Walker, wants you and Trent up here." He told her.
"Okay, we'll be there in a few hours," She said hanging up the phone after they talked for a few minutes.
"What did Trey want," Trent asked as Neely got up starting to get ready to go to the bathroom to get dressed.
"We got a new case and Walker wants us there in a couple minutes." She said going into the bathroom.
She sighed after shutting the bathroom door then walked toward the tub to start taking a bath. As Neely began to relax she began to think about how she got to be here. It all began when Ranger Cordell Walker and his partner James Trivette found her in an ally unconscious losing lots of blood. She regained consciousness in the hospital to find Walker and Trivette ready to investigate her case and to find out what happened to her. They investigated her case for a couple months and came up with nothing because she didn't even know who she was. She decided to make a new life and identity for herself. So for the past 7 ½ years she has been known as Ranger Neely Bauer.
Looking at herself in the mirror she wondered who she really was. Almost thirty minutes later Trent and Neely were ready to head to Ranger headquarters wondering what this new case was.
