Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters in this story. They belong to whoever owns the rights to Walker Texas Ranger.

Author's Note: This story is set in May 2005 right after Angela's fourth birthday. Also I know the last episode of Walker Texas Ranger is when Angela was born and yes I know my date for her birthday is a few days off. But for the purpose of this story, I needed to change the date.

Thanks to all the Reviewers. I really loved hearing what you had to say.

Chapter 5: I Don't Believe It

Walker stared into Alex's beautiful eyes. They were the key to her soul and it was through her eyes that Walker always knew exactly what Alex was thinking. And this time as he looked into her eyes, Walker saw many different things. He saw worried and the worry showed through on her face as well. Walker saw fear; fear that something would happen to Angela. But Walker also saw someone looking for answers; someone who wanted answers to her questions and wasn't getting any. So Walker knew what he had to do. He would have to answer Alex's question about where he was the night Angela was kidnapped.

"What where were you the night Angela was kidnapped?" Alex again questioned her husband.

"Alex, if I tell you, you have to promise not to tell anyone, well except Trivette, Sydney, and Gage."

"Not 'if' you tell me. 'When' you tell me. Walker you're going to tell me where you were the night our daughter was kidnapped because if you don't I'm going to lose it." Alex told him.

Walker sat silent.

Alex saw that he was worried so she picked up his left hand with her right hand and kissed the back of it. "Walker no matter what it is, we'll get through it. You've always told me that and I've always known you were right. So tell me where you were and I promise I won't get mad at you and we'll get through it together."

Walker looked up at Alex. He knew she was right and he was going to have to tell her.

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

Trivette and Gage were in shock over what Sydney had just told them Anderson told her. They walked in the Walkers' living room and all three sat down on the couch.

"So you mean that the only thing they have against Walker is that his fingerprints are on the door and they think it's his blood they found. They arrested him over that!" Trivette said a little outraged that that was the reason behind his partner being arrested.

"Do they even have a case with that stuff?" Gage asked out loud.

"Well…there's kind of more…" Sydney started to tell them and then stopped when she saw the look on their faces.

"What do you mean there's more?" Gage asked his partner, he like everyone else was still in shock over Walker being arrested.

"Well…someone said they saw Walker come out of his house a little after 9 carrying a little girl and they ID-ed his truck." Sydney told them and they both jumped up off the Walkers' couch in an instant.

"WHAT?" Gage yelled.

"Who said that?"

"No idea, Anderson wouldn't tell me."

"So we have to find proof that Walker didn't do it or find Angela and see what she says and hopefully she will be able to tell us who did kidnap her." Trivette said, thinking out loud.

"Well, then lets get to work finding Angela." Sydney said and they all went back to work.

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

Walker looked in Alex's eyes and knew he had to tell her now. He picked her right hand up and kissed the back of it several times.

"I was helping someone at the HOPE Center." Walker started to tell his wife.

"Who?" Alex asked in an instant, not understanding why they wouldn't go to her. "Was in someone in my women's group?"

"No, no one in your women's group, someone who was in a bad situation and wanted out pretty bad."

"Who were you helping Walker?" Alex questioned him.

"Mary." Walker finally said.

"Mary…" Alex repeated the name to herself before it hit her. "Mary Anderson.?"

"Yeah, that's the Mary." Walker told his wife as he watched her face change for scared and worried to confused.

"But that's Anderson's wife. The Anderson who put you in this place. Why did Mary want out and what was the situation?"

"Alex, Tom Anderson beats his wife and she wants out. I'd been trying to help her and she called me yesterday and said she was packing her bags and leaving and she wanted me to be with her in case Tom found out. I was helping her all day long. She didn't want to get Tom in any trouble with the law, so she packed her bags and left. She had just left when I called home and you didn't answer. So I headed home and while you know the rest of the story." Walker didn't wan to repeat what had happened after he got home and what he had found. Alex was in enough pain and having a hard enough time without him reminding her that Angela was kidnapped.

"So that's why you didn't tell Anderson. He doesn't know his wife is gone and you didn't want him to find out."

"He knows she's gone, but he doesn't know she's gone for good."

"And what about Angela? You should be out there trying to find her and instead you're sitting here in jail and you could be free." Alex said, she knew she sounded upset, but she didn't care.

"Alex, we're going to find Angela. I promise you that. No matter what, we're going to find Angela. And I can help you with that. Okay, have Trivette look up everyone we've put away in the past couple of years and find out who got out." Walker tried to assure his wife.

"Okay. It's just…" Alex started but stopped.

"It's just what honey?"

"I know this probably sounds stupid, but I haven't been away from Angela for this long forever. I mean even when I have court and a lot of other things going on, I still find time to be with my little girl and I can't take being away from her." Alex told Walker who leaned across the table to give her a hug.

"I know, I know. And I've promised you and I'll keep promising you until you believe me, it'll all be okay."

Just then the officer came in and said that time was up and Walker had to go back to his cell.

"I love you." Walker told Alex as the officer took him out of the room.

"I love you too." Alex said as the door closed and she was left alone in the room as she thought about everything Walker had told her.

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

Angela was still curled up into a little ball in the corner of the room. She arm was still causing her a lot of pain. And all she wanted was her mommy and daddy.

A man walked into the room and gave her some food.

"Why am I here?" Angela asked him.

"I can't tell you." the man told her.

"I want my mommy and daddy. I want to go home." Angela cried out.

The man got right in front of Angela's face. "Well you're not going home. EVER!" the man said and then got up and left.

The man's face stuck in Angela's mind and even though he had given her food, Angela didn't want to eat; all she wanted was mommy and daddy.

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

Sydney called Anderson's phone over and over, but no one answered. She then tried his cell phone and still no answer.

"Well Anderson isn't picking up so I guess we're on our own." Sydney said as she hung up the phone.

Just then Alex ran into the house. "You guys are never going to believe what Walker just told me." Alex said when she came into the living.

Alex then went on to explain what Walker had told her about Anderson and where he had been the day Angela was kidnapped. They couldn't believe what they were hearing. No one would ever have thought that Anderson would do anything like that.

"Is Walker sure?" Gage asked her when she had finished telling them.

"Yeah he's sure and Mary's off to live with her sister." Alex told them.

"So now we have to find Angela and figure out how to clear Walker's name." Sydney spoke up as they got to work.
