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 6: No Answers But a Few More Questions

Alex, Trivette, Sydney, and Gage spent most of the night trying to figure out who would take Anglea. They started with people who Walker and/or Alex had put away in the past 3 years but then they thought they should go back 5 years. They were having little luck. They came up with a few names, but all the names checked out and they were back at square one.

"I can't believe this." Alex said out of frustration as the clock stuck 5 am. "Why can't we find anything?"

"Don't have a clue. Did you guys find anything else at the house?" Sydney asked Trivette and Gage since they had been there for a lot longer looking around.

"Nope and we talked to the guy who said he saw Walker take Angela from the house that night." Trivette began.

"And…" Alex said as she waited for him to continue.

"And I don't think he's telling the truth, as least not the whole truth." Trivette told them.

"Why?" Sydney questioned him, she hadn't heard this earlier.

"Because he was just so unsure. It was like he was trying very hard to hide something and it wasn't working to well." Trivette told them.

"And he kept repeating himself. It was like he wanted to make sure he said something right." Gage added.

"Maybe Sydney and I will go talk to him. What's his name?" Alex asked them.

"William McDonald. And have fun talking to him." Gage told her.

"Well where does he live?" Alex asked.

Trivette told her where he lived and soon Alex and Sydney were climbing into Alex's car and were headed off to his house.

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

Five minutes later Alex pulled up to William McDonald's house. They were exactly sure what they were doing there, but as they walked toward the door, they knew they had to do something and see first hand what this guy was talking about.

Sydney rang the door bell and a few minutes later William showed up at the door.

"How can I help you?" he asked. He was very unsure of who these people were and his face showed it.

"I'm Texas Ranger Sydney Cooke and this is ADA Alex Cahill-Walker." Sydney told the man.

"Okay, so what can I do for you?" William asked again.

"Can we come in and talk?" Sydney asked him.

"No." the man said and almost yelled at them.

"Okay." Sydney said as she became really unsure about this whole thing and she could tell Alex was also having second thoughts about this.

Alex was the first to speak up after several long and uncomfortable moments. "We were wondering if you could tell us when you saw Cordell Walker a few nights ago."

"Cordell Walker" he thought for a moment. "Oh you mean the man who kidnapped his own daughter from his own house?"

"Nothing's been proven yet, but we were told you saw him." Alex told William and she could tell it was now him who was growing uncomfortable.

"Yeah, I saw him. I was coming home from dinner and just happened to look over at the house." William started to tell them, his eyes kept looking around and he was playing with his fingers. "I saw him come out of the house carrying that little girl and he put her in the truck. He then got in and took off."

"And you saw all this in one glance?" Sydney questioned, not sure if he was lying or telling the truth.

"No, well yes. I mean no." William said and couldn't figure out which one he meant to say.

"Which is it? Yes or No?" Sydney asked as she stared at him.

"I saw him and turned around and drove back by the house and I saw him again." William told them quickly.

"Did you see anything else?" Alex asked him.

"Umm…" he said as once again he started to play with his fingers.

"If you remember anything else, give us a call. Day or night." Sydney said as she handed him a card with her phone number on it and Alex handed him a card with her phone number on it.

"Thank you for your time." Alex told him, trying not to get to upset at him.

They turned around and headed back towards the car.

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

Alex and Sydney headed out to CD's to meet up with Trivette and Gage. By the time they arrived, Trivette and Gage were already eating.

"So what did you think of him?" Trivette asked as Alex and Sydney sat down at the table across from him and Gage.

"Got no answers but a few more questions." Alex told him.

"Yep, either he's not sure what he saw at all that night or he's hiding something. And my guess is he's hiding something." Sydney told them as she ordered her food.

"Are you hungry Alex?" Gage asked when he noticed Alex didn't order anything.

Alex didn't say anything. In fact she looked like she was a few million, maybe even a few trillion miles away.

"Alex?" Gage said again when she didn't answer him.

Alex still said nothing.

"Earth to Alex. Are you out there?" Gage once again said.

"What?" Alex said blankly when she looked at them. "Oh sorry I was just thinking."

"About what?" Trivette said as he took another bit of food.

"Angela and Walker. What else would I be thinking about?" Alex told them as she stared off into space.

"It'll be okay Alex." Sydney reassured her.

"I know. I just can't stand being away from them. I mean my whole family's gone and I'm left here without them." Alex confused.

"We're here. And your dad said he would come down and defend Walker." Trivette reminded her.

"I know, I know. I just…" Alex started to say but stopped when the waiter brought Sydney's food to her.

"You just what Alex?" Gage questioned her as he continued to eat.

"I just need some sleep. You know? I've been up over 24 hours and I'm probably just letting things get to me more then usually because my whole family's gone."

"Your whole family isn't gone." Trivette reminded her. "We're here for you. Now why don't you take your own advice and get some sleep. We'll let you know if we find anything out."

And with that Alex got up and headed home.

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

Meanwhile, off somewhere where she didn't know where she was, Angela sat in a corner. The same one she had been sitting in. She thought of her mommy and daddy. She wanted nothing more right now then to be in the arms of her mommy and daddy. She missed them so much.

Angela sat in the corner. She didn't know why this bad man was doing this to her. She didn't know what she had ever done to him that would cause him to take her away from her mommy and daddy. All she wanted was to be with them.

As Angela sat in the corner, she started to sing the song her mommy and daddy sang to her before she went to bed each night. But she couldn't remember the words, so she made up her own words. She knew that she could teach her mommy and daddy the new words when she got out.

At the end of her song Angela let out a little cry. The pain in her arm returned and it hurt more now then ever. That and the bad man hadn't come in to feed her that day but he had left a little water the night before.

"I want my mommy and daddy." Angela cried out and her cry was little more then a whisper. Angela cried herself to sleep that night and her dreams were full of nightmares.

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

Walker was sitting on the bunk in his cell. He had been thinking about Angela and Alex all day.

As Walker's eyes drifted shut, he had a vision about Angela. He didn't understand it at first but a few minutes after waking up, Walker knew he had to talk to Alex as soon as possible but it would be morning before she stopped by.

So Walker sat in the bunk trying to remember everything that was in his vision.
