By: Kary G.

A/N: I know! It took a lot of time to update, and I still need to complete other stories. I hope you enjoy this chapter, as much as I did. Let me know if you like this chapter… I'll try to connect more dots in the next chapters. Once again sorry for the time to update BUT college is keeping me busy.

"But…how?" the petite ranger asked before being attacked with more tears. Allison waited a few minutes until she calmed down, and began to speak.

"When you had the hysterectomy….."

*Flashback*
Caroline took Sydney's file, and wrote some stuff, that's when she saw the petite woman. Sydney Cooke approached Caroline, and exchanged some words. Allison who was a few feet from them saw how the women talked.

Caroline led the way to Sydney to a room, and began to prepare the raven-haired woman for surgery. Sydney changed into a gown, IV's were hooked to Syd's small right hand within minutes the anesthesia made its thing making each second more heavy for Syd to keep her eyes open. Until Sydney's vision became a blur and blackness made its presence. Allison stepped in the room to help Caroline not knowing the surprise she was going to get…

Three long hours and both nurses were on the middle of the surgery. Caroline took a syringe and filled it with a clear liquid. Both nurses were not alone. Dr. Keller a 35 year-old male was doing the surgery. Allison pretended to accommodate other stuff, her eyes looked at the pair standing and chatting. There was no doubt that , and Caroline had something, but did Dr. Keller know about Caroline's past? Somehow here eyes focused in Sydney's medical record, and a specific medicine made her eyes widen.

"No, this can't be true… is pregnant?" Allison questioned herself as she saw the name of the drug written on the report that was being used in that surgery: Pictocen.

Pictocen was a drug specifically to make the labor faster. This scared Allison because she didn't know how far along the pregnancy… was, but her thoughts were interrupted as a small cry was heard in the room.

A 7 month-old baby girl was taken to another room by Caroline. Allison immediately connected the dots knowing that that baby was Sydney's daughter. It was Allison job to report this to the Board, but that would mean losing their license as a Registered Nurse. What was she going to do? Dr. Keller saw Allison face, he hurried and took her arm. "Listen to me Allison; you cannot say anything about this to anyone in this hospital. If they find out what we did, we'll loose our jobs. I hope you don't open your big mouth because if you do I swear I'll kill you," Allison nodded afraid to speak. The only thing she did was just watch how Sydney was taken to another room.

**End of flashback**

Allison stopped for a moment. There was more the ranger needed to know….

"Ranger Cooke, not only did I find your picture, but also found this," Allison took a small notebook that was hidden in her scrubs.

Sydney took the little notebook in her hands, and read the first page. "Oh my god…" every line she read began to once again connect the puzzle. Not only did Caroline stole Syd's baby, but also was obsessed with the ranger. Following her moves, knowing where she shopped the groceries, her clothes, even the bars she used to visit. She kept flipping the pages of the small notebook so fast, until something caught her attention… 'She's beautiful, but I've seen her for about years now, and it seems that she rejects every man that comes near her, she looks afraid, and yet she still visit those kind of places. A man approached her, and tried to force her to kiss him back. She was a lucky bitch… A tall blonde guy, muscular body, and blue eyes defended her…'

"What the…..?" she thought. She kept reading… 'I thought she was going to reject this man, but he seems different… he's not like all those idiots who called themselves men, Sydney is talking to that stranger, she looks comfortable, and so does he… I guess, I'll have to hear her phone conversations to find out more about this mystery guy..' Sydney flipped the page, and kept reading.

'Two months have passed now, and for what I gather, this man's name is Francis Gage. That bitch is even lucky when it comes to find cute guys. I've heard that they were going on their 8th date. This means, I'll have to follow them to see how this ends up…

After two hours they finally came out of the movie theatres. I had to take seat two rows up, so they wouldn't suspect a thing… and what I saw inside. Let's just say I wouldn't consider tonight as 'dating'. They were kissing each other so passionate this time. I put my hand on my purse, and feel the hilt of my knife. I just want to jump, and feel the knife inside her stomach, feel the gasps of air, of pain…. Want to feel her lover's lips against mine, his hands exploring my body, and not hers…damn her to hell! Damn her!

I parked a few feet away from them, and couldn't follow them no more. She entered his house, he closed the door, and I lost sight of them. I quickly got out of my car, and hurried to the house, trying to see them… a window was opened… and to my surprise I found them inside that room. Sounds of pleasure, and ecstasy could be heard. He's on top of her kissing every inch of her exotic skin, his hands take over his lover's body. Her cries of pleasure get to me… why? Why her? My body feels hot to the touch, and my hormonal juices slip through my system… she doesn't deserve him… I do!'

Syd closed the small notebook, a lot of things were there… shocked ran through her bloodstream. "But… why did she hate me so much?"

"Ranger Cooke you may not remember her, but she sure as hell remembers you." Allison looked through her purse until she found what she was looking for… a book with a red cover, and placed it in front of the petite female. "You went with Caroline to the same college," she confirmed by showing her a snapshot of Sydney, and Caroline. "I believe some kind of competition between her against you… a boyfriend perhaps?"

Sydney stayed silence for a few minutes trying to think of something or someone that triggered Caroline's behavior. "Yes. Jimmy Rowell.. I was a freshman at college, and I was in a relationship with Jimmy. He told me his previous relationship went wrong, he mentioned her ex-girlfriend name, her name was…" she left the sentences unfinished.

"Caroline," Allison finished it for her.

"Yes, but I still don't understand Piper's role in all of this,"

"I read the notebook, and she revealed that she became pregnant in college, but for some reason she had an abortion. Since then… she became crazy, obsessed trying to have a baby. She had to sleep with thousand of guys, desperate to have a child of her own, but it wasn't working. She later found out she was infertile, but in her mind, all the men she slept with had a problem… and then you came to the hospital read your chart, and recognize you, and decided to steal your daughter, but again… nobody knew about the pregnancy until that day of the surgery, when she did an echo.. You were under the anesthesia, and I wasn't there, later on I saw your medical record. I noticed the drug she apply to you, and that's where I knew she decided to induced labor, and also that you were expecting"

Sydney stood up, and with an "I'll be right back," she rushed to Company B to let her friends know what was going on. Seconds later all the rangers were inside the room with Allison..

Caroline looked outside the window wondering when Allison was going to come. She told her there was a few things missing from the fridge, and that she was going to the grocery store to buy those things, but just to go to the store, and buy milk, eggs, and some cheese, it didn't take three long hours.

Caroline was feeling uncomfortable, her head shout to her that she needed to get away, somebody was following her, she feared for her daughter. She ran to her room, and brought a huge suitcase that held a good amount of clothes for a period of time… she then open the closet, and took some of her clothes, shoes, underwear.

More clothes were thrown into the luggage, baby clothes, pink, yellow, purple were now the colors that covered the nurse's own clothing. She stopped for a moment, and focused on Piper, her daughter. She looked at the toddler in front of her, she was beautiful no doubt about that.

Her hair, her eyes, her smile… she loved that little girl, she felt lucky. She was her mother. She lifted the sleepy girl in her arms, and with luggage in hand ran to her truck, placed the girl on her car seat, and turned the engine… she just had this bad feeling that everything was going to fall apart, that she was never going to see Piper again, what she didn't know was that part of her crazy mind was telling her the truth.
