Chapter 3

Meanwhile Walker, Trivette and Gage were speeding toward the ranch silently hoping that Alex, the baby and especially Angela would be all right. Finally after what seemed like an eternity they reached the driveway where they stopped to take the rest on foot.

With guns drawn, they all approached the house. The first thing they noticed was a mangled, unresponsive Angela lying behind the van in a puddle of blood. They all ran up to her and saw that she wasn't breathing and it was clear she had several broken ribs and possibly a few cracked ones too. It also looked as if she needed some stitches in her head, hence all the blood. Just then the backup came with an ambulance in tow. The paramedics rushed over to Angela and started CPR. Gage stayed with Angela and Trivette and Walker went to find Alex who was just coming around.

"Alex, Alex!" Walker cried as he reached her side. Other than a few cuts and bruises and probably a concussion she was fine.

"Oh Walker," Alex cried as she sunk into his arms. "What happened?"

"I thought you could tell us that honey."

"All I remember is coming back from the barn with Angela then being knocked to the ground and now waking up. The baby? Angela? Walker where's Angela? Is she okay?" Alex was working herself up in to a frenzy.

"Shhh Alex everything will be okay just calm down. Angela is unconscious and we need to let the paramedics check you."

"NO! I need to see Angela NOW!" With that she got up and then passed out again, showing that she had a pretty bad concussion. Luckily Walker caught her and carried her over to the ambulance. They did a quick evaluation and then were ready to transport her.

"I'll go with her Walker just say with Angela," Trivette said.

Walker didn't answer he just lifelessly looked down at his little angel and Gage said, "Go ahead Trivette I'll wait with Walker. Call Syd and fill her on what's going on. She's probably worrying herself to death and that can't be good for the baby."

"Gotcha Gage. I'll have her meet me at the hospital. She can help me with Alex when she comes around. Umm what should I say about Angela?"

"Tell her she's badly injured and has to be air lifted. Don't go too much into detail."

"Ok, see you at St. Mathews." With that Trivette hopped into the ambulance and sped off.

One of the many detectives that arrived walked over to the two Rangers and addressed Walker. "Ranger Walker we found this note on the front seat of your van." He handed over this typed note, clearly from the offender. It read:

Ranger Walker,

Long time no see

But that's probably because you put me away

Well now I'm out and this is what

you get for turning my wife and kid against me.

Pay backs a bitch and this is only the beginning

I'll be in touch.

After reading it Walker examined the paper. It was splattered with blood, probably Angela's and there was a partial fingerprint.

"Wow this guy must have been in a hurry and gotten sloppy," Gage said. "If he was smart he would have never let this happen."

"Yeah," Walker said. He turned to the detective and said, "run this print and check it with anyone I've arrested who fits the details he gave in the note and get back to me fast. This guy's going down."

"I'll get right on it sir," he said and walked away.

"The chopper's here Ranger," a paramedic said, "you can ride with your daughter."

"Ok," he said, "Gage meet Trivette and Sydney and I'll be with you as soon as I can."

"Ok Walker."

After little Angela was loaded, he climbed in and off they went.
