Decisions

Chapter 4

Disclaimer: I do not own Walker Texas Ranger

She ran to her car and drove as fast as she could to the motel suddenly she hit the brake as she noticed a car wreck and looking at her watch she had five minutes to get to the motel. "What a time to have a car wreck." She thought to herself. She noticed the motel a few feet away from her she was able to get through the cars but a cop stopped her as he noticed her "behavior".

"Ma´am you should not be driving like that don´t you see" the cop said pointing with his finger at the car.

"I know but I need to hurry I need to.."

"What you need to do is stepped out of the car please" Sydney knew she was in trouble she started to look in her pockets until she found her badge and finally she identify herself as a ranger "Texas Ranger Sydney Cooke, I am in a hurry" the cop´s eye widened "I am sorry ranger" he apologized making sounds to the cars in front of her, she turned on her lights and passed through the crowded street.

The Gage's House

Gage's eyes started to open he looked around and realize that the TV was on, he stood up from the couch and notice the piece of paper that was on the table.

"Gage,

I couldn´t sleep and I notice that you were snoring so I decide to go to my sister´s house, I need to clear my head a little, don´t try to call, her phone is not working, I have my cell phone with me just in case, I love you."

Syd.

Gage was not worry, he knew that she had to go out, but what he did not knew was that her wife was racing against the clock to save their kids.

Motel

Sydney ran inside the motel and to room #7 just in time. She knock and knocked but nobody answer she knew he was playing with her and she knew she had to remain calm and patient for her kids and herself. She hurried downstairs and asked for the key to the room. She hurried back upstairs and opened the door. Once again nothing. Her kids and Michael wasn't there just a note saying.

"Ranger Cooke you are one amazing woman. I thought by now you would give up hope of ever finding your kids. You are so different, I can't believe I took your kids away from you. That must make me the evilest person in the world. That's great wouldn't you think so? What I mean by the evilest villian is look back on history for a second. There was Bolger, Grangus and Ramon Ortega made you think your sister was dead and took your daughter away from you but you found her. I would call that a fluke but getting to the point. You have been all over Dallas and that's a good thing in case you didn't know Dallas well now you do. I want you to go to the warehouse on Pine Street. 989 Pine Street, this time you have thirty minutes only because Pine Street is twenty minutes from the motel. Doesn't give you much time does it? Better get going. Remember this Ranger Cooke- TIME IS TICKING!

"If something happens to my kids.." she said thinking out loud but stop not wanting to finish her sentence she knew she was wrong, her kids were ok, they have to be ok. She drove to Pine Street late, although it was 2:00 in the morning she parked her car took a "nap", she woke up 5 minutes late, when she saw the clock and knew was late she stood up and run inside the warehouse at the same time scolding herself, how can she be so stupid she thought, but again her kids were not there another note.

"Ranger Cooke,

I am sick and tired of this games, I want to kill you so meet me at "Waldo´s" the abandoned store that's been closed for years you should know where that is I guarantee you that your kids will be there."

She prepared her gun and cell phone finally she walked inside the abandonded store and saw Michael, she scanned the store looking for her kids and found them both kids crying, she ran to them but Michael stop her. "Stop!, I need to ask you first, How did you like the game?" he laughed hard.

"Michael you know as well as I do, that I do not like games where my kids are involved!"

"What about your decision?" he asked. Sydney froze her mind filling with a lot of thoughts of what she should do, she couldn't save one and kill the other, but Sienna was her daughter and Matthew was not, but that was not an obstacle to her, only because Matthew was not her kid doesn't mean that she had the right to choose her daughter over him, she loved him too, she was her mother and she was determined to kill and die for her two little angels.

"Yes Michael I have made my decision and this is what is it." She sent a powerful roundhouse kick to Michael's jaw sending him to the floor but he quickly got up. "Now, now you don't want to do that. At any time I can push this button and the whole building will blow up and just what do you think you are going to do then?"

"You said the same thing at the hospital, how do I know you are not lying to me?"

"You want me to push it down" his fingers were ready to push the button but Sydney react fast and started to throw punches to Michael, he managed to duck one of the kicks and hit her with all his power, they fought for the button but in that moment the button slipped away from Michael hands.

"Michael both of my kids are going with me and you will be going to jail"

"Why don't you just show me? Think you can show me?" Sydney pull her gun "You move and I'll kill you" without losing time she grabbed his wrists throwing him to the floor, he got up again at that moment she send a powerful scorpion kick to his head knocking him out, she took the control in her hands leaving it next to her kids she then tie Michael and went to check on her kids once again.

"Oh my God! Are you both okay?" Sydney was sitting with her kids hugging and kissing them both. "I don't know what I would have done if anything happened to my little angels." She held her one and half year old son in her arms hugging him and kissing him all over. She noticed her daughter's gesture and became concerned fast.

"It hurts so much, my back hurts so much" Sydney took her cell phone out and call an ambulance "This is Ranger Cooke I need an ambulance to Waldo´s store I have an 8 year-old with a bullet in her back, she's in a lot of pain I think she needs surgery" she then called to Gage and told him what was happening, Gage called Walker and Walker to Trivette, the 3 senior rangers race to the abandoned store.

Sydney tried to calm her daughter, Sienna's pain was evident, Sydney's heart was breaking hearing her daughter cries, the 3 rangers arrived to the store and ran inside, Gage embrace his kids and did the same thing as Sydney calm Sienna, Sydney walked to where Michael was, he looked up and laughed. "I should've killed both of them" she kicked his ribs causing him to yell in pain.

"What's the matter Michael? Does that hurt?" she said kicking again pretending not to hear him, Gage walked to where Michael was, "You are such a baby, stop whinning" kicking him again.

"Gage, what part of "stop whinning" he does not understand, shut up!" but Michael kept yelling in pain.

"You heard my wife, shut up!, honey you want to do the honors" Gage said kissing her forehead which make Micahel more angry.

"Don't touch her!" Screamed Michael at Gage, but Gage just returned a laugh and kissed his beautiful wife deeply. "Mmm, Gage how I missed your kisses. I forgot where were we? I remember now." She turned to Michael. "Michael Turner you are under arrest for kidnapping, assault to a peace officer. You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law. You have the right to speak with an attorney and have an attorney present during questioning. If you so desire and cannot afford one, an attorney will be present before questioning without charge. Do you understand these rights as I have explained?"

Michael coughed and shook his head. "Yeah whatever I understand. I'll be back you can bet your money on that."

"Yeah right. They all say that and they end up spending the rest of their lives in jail. Do you wish to give up the right to remain silent?" Michael said nothing. "Do you wish to have an attorney present during questioning?" Again Tuner said nothing. "Are you going to answer my questions or not?" Sydney was running out of patients. Gage spoke up next in a sharp tone. "I believe the lady asked you two questions. Now are you going to answer them or do I have to beat it out of you?" Michael looked at Sydney and then Gage and back at Cooke.

"I don't have to tell you two rangers anything. I want my attorney if you don't mind. I will be back if Ramon did why can't I?"

"Fine. Walker, you can take him away now." Sydney called to her boss. Walker took Tuner into custody while Sydney and Gage headed for the hospital to check on their kids.

"Are you ok? Gage asked knowing that something was in his wife's mind.

"Yeah is just that his words...never mind"

"Honey, he will not touch our kids again I guarantee you that, I won't let him" he squeeze her hand in return she smile at him.
