Chapter 2: Don't Take Her

The next day Angela went out to the barn in the morning with her daddy. Walker let her help out as much as she could and then they headed inside to have breakfast.

"Daddy, can we go riding later?" Angela asked Walker as he picked her up and they headed inside.

"Sure we can. Do you want to take Princess?" Walker asked but he already knew the answer to that question.

Angela nodded her head.

"Okay, it's a date." Walker told her.

Alex had left earlier that morning because she had to be in court early, so Walker back breakfast for him and Angela. He then took her to HOPE Center so he could head to work.

"And we will go riding later. Right?" Angela asked for the hundredth time.

"Yep, we'll go riding. As soon as I get home for work and we have dinner, we'll go riding." Walker said as he helped Angela out of the truck and they headed inside the HOPE Center.

"Yeah."

"I love you pumpkin. I'll be back to pick you up later." Walker told her.

"I thought mommy was picking me up." Angela told her daddy.

"Mommy was going to pick you up, but something came up and mommy promised she'd pick up for the next week. Is that okay?" Walker asked his daughter, hoping she understood him.

Angela nodded. "But mommy is always busy. She never has any time for me." Angela told him.

"Pumpkin, mommy will always have time for you. She loves you so much and I promise mommy is going to come home and play with you tonight. Would you like that?"

"Yeah. Thanks daddy."

"Anything for my baby girl."

"But I'm not a baby. I'm a big girl."

"My mistake, anything for my big girl. I love you Angela. I'll see you later."

"Okay daddy, I love you too and I love mommy."

"And I love mommy too." Walker gave his daughter a hug and then headed to work.

----------------------------------

Before going to his office when he got to work, Walker stopped by Alex's office hoping she would be there.

"Come in," came Alex's voice when she heard a knock at the door.

"Hey sweetheart," Walker said as he came in and gave Alex a kiss.

"Hi honey," Alex said as she put her arms around his neck for a minute and enjoyed the kiss.

"How was court?"

"Okay, I have to be back down there in 10 minutes," Alex told her husband.

"Can you do me a favor later?" Walker asked his wife.

"Sure, name it." Alex replied.

"Can you pick Angela up from the HOPE Center today? I know you are really busy and all, but I got a call on the way here and I'm not sure when I'm going to get home tonight."

"Is something wrong?"

"Nothing to worry about." Walker told Alex when he saw the worried look on her face. "But can you pick up Angela?"

"Yeah. It'll probably not be until 5:30 but I'll get her."

Walker turned to leave before he remembered something. "Oh and I promised Angela that you would play with her tonight. She said you were too busy to play with her and I kind of told her you would tonight."

"Okay. I'll work extra hard today and I'll go home and play with her. I can't believe she feels that way. I can't believe my daughter feels that way." Alex said and Walker could tell she was trying hard not to cry.

Walker took Alex in his arms. "Hey, it's okay. You're not a bad mother, you just got really busy all of a sudden and Angela has never had that happen before. I talked to her and she says she understands. Okay. It's nothing to worry about. Angela knows you love her."

"Okay." Alex said as she started to calm down. "I'll be okay and thanks for letting me know."

"Anytime, but I have to go."

"I love you." Alex said as Walker started to leave.

"I love you too. I'll call before I get home and I'll call every now and then so you know I'm not in danger."

Walker finally left Alex's office and headed off to do his other work.

--------------------------------

Alex called Joise and told her that she would be picking Angela up half an hour later then Walker was going to.

Walker on the other hand wasn't letting anyone know what he was up too and he left the building without even stopping into the Ranger Company B office.

--------------------------------

Alex left the office a little before 5:30 that day to go pick up Angela.

Angela was waiting for Alex when she got there.

"Mommy, mommy, mommy." Angela yelled as she came running out of the HOPE Center. "I thought you were busy."

"I'll never be too busy for you sweetie." Alex told her daughter as she remembered what Walker had told her earlier. She picked Angela up into her arms and headed to the car.

"Where's daddy?" Angela asked.

"Daddy had something to do tonight and wasn't sure when he was going to get home, so you and me get to spend all night together. Would you like that?" Alex asked her daughter.

Angela nodded her head. "Yeah!"

"What do you want to do?"

"I want to color with you and I want to ride Princess." Angela told her.

"I thought daddy was going to ride Princess with you."

"He was, he said he would tonight, but you said daddy wasn't sure when he'd get home. So can I ride Princess with you?"

"How about if I color with you and we go and visit Princess in the barn. Then on Saturday you, daddy, and I will go for a ride and we can go down by the lake and have a picnic. Do you want to do that?"

Angela nodded.

"And then we can have pizza for dinner tonight."

"With pepperoni on it?" Angela asked.

"Yeah. We can get lots of pepperoni on it because you love pepperoni so much." Alex said as she started to tickle Angela.

"Stop it mommy. Can we go get pizza now?"

"Sure." Alex said as she opened the door to the car and helped Angela in.

------------------------------

Alex and Angela went inside to order pizza and then they went next door and Angela picked out a movie so they could watch it while they ate pizza.

Half an hour later, Alex and Angela were heading home with the pizza and the movie.

They got home around 6:30 that night. Alex still hadn't heard anything from Walker, so she and Angela went into the living to watch the movie and eat their dinner.

They laughed the whole night. Angela was having lots of fun and was really happy that her mommy wasn't too busy for her. Alex was just happy to see Angela happy. And they were both enjoying their girls' night in.

The movie was over a little after 8 and Angela wanted to watch another one. So Alex let her pick out a movie and they got back on the couch to watch it. This time they decided to lay down because they were both a little tired. Before Alex laid down, she made sure the doors were locked, just in case she did fall asleep. She was sure Walker would call before he came home, so she could get up and open the door for him.

About an hour later, before Alex and Angela were sleeping. The movie continued to play and before she knew it, Alex heard a loud crash!

She awake immediately. Alex's first thought was to make sure Angela was okay. But before she knew it a person was standing over them holding a gun on both Alex and Angela. The person had the darkness eyes Alex had ever saw and Alex grabbed Angela, she wasn't going to let anything happen to her daughter. The person stood there for a few moments.

"What do you want?" Alex asked out of fear that he would hurt them if he didn't get wanted he wanted soon.

The person said nothing.

"Anything you want, money, jewelry, anything at all, take it, just please don't hurt my daughter or me." Alex said, making sure to say 'my daughter' before 'me' because truth be told, to protect Angela, Alex would take any pain thrown at her.

The person looked at Angela and nodded their head.

"You want my daughter?" Alex said blankly.

The person nodded their head.

"NEVER!" Alex yelled and grabbed Angela, holding her as close to her body at she could. This person wasn't going to take Angela from her no matter what.

The person tried to grab Angela, but Alex hit them and they backed off for a minute but tried again in a few moments. They still had no luck so they walked away.

Angela looked up at her mommy. "Mommy is that man going to hurt us?" Angela asked Alex as tears started to run down her face.

"No baby, that man isn't going to hurt you because I'm not going to let them. I promise." Alex told her and for once Angela didn't complain about being called 'baby.'

"Mommy, I said is that man going to hurt us and you told me he wasn't going to hurt me. What about you mommy. Is he going to hurt you?" Angela asked as she started to cry more.

"No baby, he's not going to." Alex told Angela.

Alex held Angela for several moments and thought the person had left the house. But before Alex knew it, her world started to turn black.

-----------------------------

Alex awake the next morning in the hospital.

"What happened to me?" Alex asked Walker who was by her side in an instance.

"You were knocked out. Are you okay Alex?" Walker asked her.

"I'm fine. Where's Angela?" Alex asked as she remembered what her and her daughter had been through the night before.

Walker said nothing.

"Walker where's Angela?" Alex repeated.

Still Walker said nothing. There was no way he could tell Alex what had happened and what he had walked home to last night.

"WALKER! WHERE'S ANGELA!" Alex finally yelled. She didn't mean to yell at Walker, but she wanted to know where her daughter was. Now!

"Alex I don't know how to tell you this." Walker finally said.

"Then just say it. What is Angela hurt? Does she have a few broken bones? You're the one who always says we'll get through it, so tell me and whatever it is, we'll get through it."

"Alex, Angela was kidnapped last night and we have no idea where she is." Walker told her.

Alex started to cry and Walker took her in his arms. Holding her and whispering words of comfort in her ear. Telling her over and over that they would find Angela and she would be okay. Soon Angela would be back in her arms and everything would be okay.
