As the Lone Star Turns

Part 1

---------------------------//------------------------

 

This is a soap opera type story based on the characters from Walker Texas Ranger.  Most of the characters belong to CBS and Norris Productions and we are really only borrowing them for the summer to help us all with the long wait until the next season.  The other characters introduced are our friends who are HUGE fans of Walker and the gang.  We mean no disrespect just wanted to do something completely different.  Hopefully you will all enjoy this story….and we will be sending it out throughout the summer as we get more written and edited….hopefully it takes all summer to get this done and keeps you all entertained…

The afternoon was hot and sultry as the partners sat in the RAM truck watching the men on the loading dock.  It had been rumored that they were transporting guns and Walker and Trivette were watching and waiting for backup to grab them.  They had been sitting there for hours’ waiting for something to happen and the adrenaline was beginning to flow, as they knew it was going to go down soon.

       “Looks like we’re about ready to head in.” Walker said taking his gun off the seat and making sure the clip was loaded and the safety in the off position. 

       “Yeah, looks that way.  Are we still on for tonight?” Trivette asked remembering they were meeting at CD’s to prepare for the Big Dog’s return from the world cruise. He had been gone for months and would be back in town that night.  Giving him a little time to unpack and get some sleep the party had been planned for the next night. 

       “Yeah, I’ll be there…and…” Walker let the words hang in the air and Trivette knew what he was going to say.

       “You weren’t able to tell her no were you?”

       “She came up to me in the hallway outside the District Court how was I supposed to tell her she couldn’t come along tonight?” Walker replied frustrated that he had given in so easily.

       “It’s easy you just tell her no I’m sorry I already have plans for tonight.”

       “Well I’m finding it harder and harder to say no to her even though she has become a pain in my side.  Heck who knows maybe I’ll get shot tonight and won’t have to deal with her.” Trivette smiled and knew Walker was only half truthful.  Walker hated hospitals but he didn’t like the idea of spending the evening with Alex Cahill either. 

       “Looks like it’s show time.” Trivette said as back up arrived and they headed out to catch the bad guys once again.

 

                           -----------------------------

 

       Across the city Alex Cahill was going through some paperwork as someone knocked on her door.  Looking up she found Sgt. Francis Gage was coming into her office.  Smiling slightly she tried to hide the fact that he was beginning to grow on her nerves.  But she needed him for the time being, at least until she was able to snag Cordell Walker.  Gage idolized her and that was something she loved in a man. Someday Cordell Walker would look at her the same way Gage did.

       “Good afternoon Gage, how are you doing?” She asked standing and going towards him.

       “I’m doing all right.  I was hoping we could get together tonight.”

      

       “Oh Gage, I’m so sorry, but I already have plans for tonight.” She noted the sad expression that began to form on his face and she had to hold in a smile.  Knowing how much he was in love with her helped her get through the slow time as she worked her plan to seduce Walker. 

       “Well, I will be home later tonight, if you want, stop by.” Gage said bending forward and brushing her lips with his.  In his mind they were a couple or at least dating and Alex was going to keep him thinking that for as long as possible. She watched him leave the room and went back to her desk thinking of a plan for that night.

 

                           ---------------------------

 

       “Gage, I need your signature on this.” CC said as she watched her favorite Ranger leave Alex’s office.  She had no idea what he saw in her and had been heart broken when he refused to go out with her a week ago.  He had said he wasn’t feeling well and yet walking to her car CC had found Gage and Alex getting into the same car and driving off.  CC knew Alex, she was her assistant, and hated the idea that Gage was being led on by her.  But there wasn’t anything she could do except wait until Alex released Gage from her clutches, then CC would step in to comfort him.

       After he had signed the form CC watched him walk back down the hallway to his office.  She noted how his jeans always seemed to fit just right and wished she could spend just one evening with him.  He was so intelligent and had so many stories to tell.  One evening, at an office party, she had managed to be seated at the same table and he had told some of the most amazing stories about working together with Walker and Trivette.  It had been that night she had fallen in love with Francis Gage and wanted nothing more than to have him fall in love with her.

      

                           ******************************

 

       “Well Walker, it looks like you made it out alive.  Guess that means you will be there tonight huh?” Trivette said as the last of the bad guys were cuffed and placed into cruisers to be taken to the jail. 

       “Yeah I guess so.  Maybe I could spend all night working on the paperwork and…”

       “Walker, you DO take all night getting the paperwork done.” The two chuckled and went back to the RAM and headed to the office.  Trivette was thankful that the bust was all right and took out his phone to make a call.

       “You know she has you wrapped around her little finger.” Walker said as he watched Trivette dialing the phone.  Six months ago his partner had met a woman who was his perfect match.

“Hey man this could be the real thing. “She’s beautiful, funny, and so intelligent.”

        “But isn’t it a little strange that she is always running around the country and for a film business.”

       “Walker, stop analyzing my relationship.  I think Tammy is the one for me and that is that.  We love each other and as soon as we get two minutes alone I’m going to ask her to marry me.” Walker nearly lost control of the RAM with that final statement.  His partner was actually thinking about settling down. 

       “Well just be careful there are crazies out there you know.”

       Chuckling Trivette nodded his head knowing whom his partner was referring to.  But he had done a background check on Tammy and had found nothing.  If she had anything to hide he would have found it his partner was just looking out for his best interest.

 

                     --------------------------------

Sydney Cooke sat in her doctor's office anxiously awaiting news if there had been a match. She had recently been diagnosed with leukemia. She had been told that her only chance was if a bone marrow donor could be found. A search to find a match had been conducted. All of the Texas Rangers and many members of the Dallas police department had been tested. It was the results of that search that she now waited for.  However the chances of finding a match were remote. The most likely match would be from a blood relative. Her mother, Kathy was her only living relative. And she had already been found not to be a suitable match. She had never known her father. He had been killed in Vietnam before she was born.

        Lost in her thoughts of despair over her seemingly hopeless situation she nearly did not hear Dr. Lisa Woolley enter the room. "Ranger Cooke, I thought you told me your father was deceased."

        "He is. He was killed in action in Vietnam"

        Dr.  Woolley shook her head in disbelief. "Then this is truly amazing"

        "What is?" Sydney asked not sure what the doctor was trying to say.

        "I have never seen a DNA match like this except between a parent and child."

        "Does that mean you found a bone marrow donor for me?" Sydney asked almost afraid to get her hopes up.

        "Yes it does."

        "Can you tell me who it is?" "Was it someone in the search, a ranger?"

        "Yes as a matter of fact it is a ranger. His name is Cordell Walker. We will do the transplant next week"

 

                           *****************************

                          

       “CD, it’s just great.  Thank you even though you know you didn’t have to.” Crystal said looking down at the enormous diamond that now decorated her left hand.  At times she found it so easy to love this old man but also knew she had a job to do.  Her code name was Swoopes and CD Parker was her assignment. 

       “But my little darling I wanted to get you something extra special and at our last port I decided this was it.  I’ve spent all my life thinking I needed to be alone but after meeting you I have come to realize that I need more in my life.  Crystal will you do me the honor by becoming my wife?” Crystal had to control herself unsure how to respond. 

       “But CD don’t you think you are rushing things a little bit.  I mean we did just meet…”

       “No Crystal I know I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Since meeting you I have never felt more alive.”

       “Then how can I say no?” Crystal replied knowing this would allow her to gain even more of his trust.  Somehow CD Parker had come into a large sum of money and she had been sent to make contact.  Her and her partner worked out of the Dallas Office, which was why she had been chosen for this particular assignment. At first her partner had been selected but had refused the assignment.  Having just met a wonderful man she hadn’t been willing to leave for months on end.  The Agency had at first frowned until Crystal had stepped forward and accepted it thus saving Clarencefan from having to explain herself. 

       She was now two months into her assignment and had managed to get fairly close to CD, yet wasn’t able to find out where his money had come from.  When the information had been delivered to the Agency it was reported that money was being filtered down into CD’s bank account.  The problem was no one knew who was doing it or why.  CD was one of the most revered Rangers in the history of the Texas Rangers but it looked as though he was as crooked as they came. 

       Now she was engaged to him and hoped that this would allow him to open up to her.  He had told her so many stories about his adventures as a Texas Ranger, so many in fact he had put her to sleep many a time.  Yet when it came time to discuss his finances he clamed up.  He claimed the money came from winning a lottery, which was how he was able to take the cruise in the first place.  But Crystal didn’t buy that so she was going to stay close to him until she could prove that he was dirty.

 

                                  -------------------

        Sydney rushed home to call her mother and tell her the good news.

        "Hello" Kathy answered. She had been waiting by the phone to hear from her daughter with the results of the search.

        "Mom you won't believe this!" She said excitedly.

        "Did they find someone who is a match for you honey?"

        "Yes, the doctor said that she had never seen a match like this except between a parent and a child. This is just so incredible."

        "Oh I am so thrilled Sweetheart."

        "And even more amazingly the match is my boss."

 "This couldn't have worked out any better Sydney. I can't wait to meet him and thank him." Sydney knew how much her dangerous line of work worried her mother so she rarely mentioned her job or her co-workers.

"You will really like him Mom. His name is Cordell Walker and…"** THUMP**

"MOM, what was that noise? Are you okay?"

Her mother had dropped the phone as she fainted dead away.

       Dallas, she was finally in Dallas.  For months she had planned our how she was going to get the job done and now it was going to go down soon.  She had found a small hotel room in the metroplex close to where she had last seen it.  But a Ranger owned it and she was going to have to be careful.  Stealing a full sized RAM truck was not going to be an easy accomplishment.  But she had to have it, just had to.  The consequences weren’t of any concern to her she just wanted to borrow it take it for a spin and then would return it.  Now she just had to figure out when and where it was going to happen.
