Chapter 7

Crusade of Revenge

"Nurse." Walker grabbed the arm of one of the nurse's who was rushing to the operating room. "I know that little girl on the stretcher." The nurse turned to him in interest.

"What's her name?"

"Isabella Gage, her parents are Texas Rangers that serve in my company, her father is in this hospital." The nurse waved over a resident.

"This is Rachel she'll be needing information from you." Walker and Trivette gave the necessary information to Rachel who then raced to the OR.

"We got to tell Gage and make sure are girls are alright." Trivette reminded and Walker nodded in agreement. They went straight to Gage's room. "I'll watch the girls in the waiting room you tell Gage, and perhaps we should call our wives." Walker stopped right outside Gage's room, he had been wanting to keep their wives out as long as possible, but with both Gage and Isabella injured they needed to know.

"Alright Gage and I will call them." Walker then pushed open the door. "Ruth, Angela why don't you go wait out in the hall with Uncle Trivette?" The girls obeyed and Walker closed the door after them. Gage tried to sit up knowing it was serious.

"Its Isabella isn't it." Walker couldn't even look his friend in the eyes he nervously played with the brim of his cowboy hat.

"Yes."

"Did you find her?"

"Yes." Gage noticed Walker's sensitive approach to the subject. "What is it Walker you can tell me."

"Isabella was found by an anonymous tipper, in your house, she had been beaten really badly." Gage sat up and tried to get out of bed Walker moved to restrain him.

"I got to get to her, I got to get to her Walker." Gage then ripped the IV out of his arm, a nurse came running in.

"What is going on here!"

"My daughter…the beaten toddler…she's just been brought in I got to see her."

"Sir I don't think…" There was a nock on the door, the reident from earlier poked her head in.

"Ranger Walker I understand the girl's father is in here." Her gaze fell on the man in the bed. "Ranger Gage it's your daughter Isabella, Dr. Pickul sent me to find you. She's in critical condition...she's lost a lot of blood…" Rachel couldn't get anything else out, Gage ripped everything off of him despite the protests of the nurse, Walker just stood back, he couldn't stop him. If the roles were reverse and it was Walker in that bed and Angela injured he too would be trying everything to get to her too. Gage wrapped his robe around him.

"Where is she!" He demanded from the resident. Walker walked to the phone by the bed. Sydney definitely needed to be here now.

Alex's phone rang in her purse, she dropped her fork of pudd Thai to answer.

"Hello."

"Walker…we were going to call you when we were done with dinner." Erica took a sip of ice tea watching Alex.

"Oh my gosh when?!" Alex sat up more alert Erica and Syd turned in her direction. "No…oh my gosh is he ok…I understand…no…is she…oh my gosh!" At this point she had the entire restaurant's attention. "Will come home as soon as possible…please be safe…I love you too!" Alex turned to Erica and Syd.

"What's wrong Alex!" They still had the attention of everyone.

"There is this man out to seek revenge on all rangers or something like that…" She turned to Sydney. "There was a bombing at the ranger's HQ…Gage was injured."

"No!" Sydney cried.

"He will be fine though…it's Isabella…" Sydney couldn't breathe she stared hard at Alex. "Whoever is behind this crusade of revenge on the rangers…kidnapped Isabella, and beat her really badly…she's in critical condition." Erica raced to pay the bill as Sydney and Alex got their things together and left for Dallas.

Well what do y'all think? Please read and review and sorry for taking so long to update.
