Ranger's POV
Five days without my Babe.
I'm climbing a fucking wall.
I was thinking about her,
When I got the call.
A curly-haired brunette.
Found dead in Trenton Park.
I felt so much pain,
So raw and very dark.
Someone took my Babe.
Forty-Eight hours ago.
I thought if something'd happened,
I'd be the first to know.
Now, I'm racing towards Hell.
Blowing every light.
My hands white against my wheel,
And my chest so very tight.
I remembered walking up.
And finding her broken door.
The only thing I could see,
Was the blood upon the floor.
I took her hamster, Rex.
I called nine-one-one.
And then I called my A-team,
And the search for Babe begun.
My guys were just as frantic.
All searching for Stephanie.
I knew without a doubt,
We'd get her back to me.
Suddenly I'm at the park.
Afraid of what I'd find.
I found Morelli's face,
And then I lost my mind.
Author's Note: Now, I think we all know Ranger would most definitely call his A-Team (Tank, Bobby Brown, & Lester Santos) first, but that was too hard to make the rhyme… Anyway, moving on… Morelli's up next. I think now would be a good time to mention that this story takes place after Stephanie finally called it quits with Joe – but they're still friends! Oh dear, I'm rambling again…
