----------------------//---------------------
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…

“Trivette, you call that a banner?” Walker asked as he
watched his partner holding five pieces of paper that he had taped
together. Not to mention the sloppy
Welcome Back CD.
“Will
this work then?” Trivette’s face lit up when he heard her voice. Turning his eyes to meet his beautiful girl
and ignoring the banner in her hands.
He went to her and kissed her gently on the lips. Draping his arm around her shoulders her
escorted her to the table where his partner already say.
“Tammy,
that’s a great banner. Where did you
get it?” Trivette asked finally as she set it on the table.
“Work. It’s been a slow week so I made it up
quick.” It was only a small lie but Jimmy would never know she had ordered
it. Getting rid of evidence was second
nature.
“Well
you sure saved the day.” Walker replied with a warm smile on his face. He was
still unsure of this woman who had claimed his partner’s heart, but Trivette
was a grown man and could make his own decisions.
. “Thank
you Walker,” Tammy said noting the approval in Walker’s eyes.
“He
really cares about you.” Walker said as Trivette moved to hang the banner.
“Well
he’s very special to me too.”
“I
just…” Walker stopped short as Alex came into the room
“Well I see your
date is here.” Tammy said very cynically. Her and Alex had had more than one
run in over the past several months and neither appreciated the other, which
was really putting it mildly. Tammy
knew who Alex really was; her Agency had been keeping their eye s on her for
years. The only problem was if Cahill
was doing something illegal they couldn’t’ catch her.
“You will excuse
me.” Walker nodded as Tammy went to Trivette to give him her undivided
attention. This left Walker alone with
Alex and the thought scared him to near death.
She was the last person he wanted to be with and yet here she was.
“Good
evening Cordell.” She said walking up to him and placing her arms around him in
a hug. He reciprocated only long enough
as not to have her call attention to their meeting.
“Would
you like something to drink?” he asked hoping to make it through the night as
quickly as possible.
“Is
that all you’re going to offer me?” she inquired as she gently rang her hand up
his arm feeling the muscles that were tensed.
How she loved this man, he was everything she wanted. Well everything she wanted at this moment in
her life.
“Look,
it’s getting late and I’m heading home soon. If you want to stay fine, I’ll get
us a drink, otherwise I’m going home.”
“Fine. Wow, I guess a girl can’t
joke around huh?” Walker saw right through the pout but escorted them to a
table where they sat. As Marta came
over they each ordered a drink and sat talking idly.
------------------------------
“Sweetie,
what’s up with them?” Tammy asked as her and Trivette sat side by side in a
booth after hanging the banner.
“You
know I’m not sure. The only thing I know is that Walker is not excited about
being with her, but he can never say no to a pretty face. Several years ago a singer came into town
needing help from her husband, he was beating her and she was scared. Walker took one look at he and was
gone. He was nearly killed trying to
help her. I guess you can say he
doesn’t’ have very good luck with woman.”
Leaning
into his chest she laid her head on his shoulder. She loved these short moments together. Thankfully she had been grounded in Dallas for the time
being. Her partner was due back anytime
and she was needed to help her out.
Never before had she turned down an assignment but Trivette wasn’t just
anyone. They had met at a party for the
governor. She and her partner had been
asked to attend to keep an eye on things.
Thankfully nothing happened that had actually made them work that
night. Instead Trivette had caught her
eye from across the room. Standing before
him in her black silky dress he said she had been irresistible. They had spent the night dancing and as the
party broke up he took her hand and they had gone for a walk through the night
streets until the early morning, just talking.
Never had she expected to fall in love, but instead had found herself
falling harder than ever thought before.
Yet one very large problem loomed in front of her, how would she ever
explain to him that she didn’t work for a film company and was actually a
federal spy working for the United States of America. She knew not telling him was the safest solution yet the closer
they became the harder it was to keep the secret.
“Honey…”
Trivette brought her out of her daydream.
“I’m
sorry, were you saying something?” She asked placing a tender kiss on his lips.
“I
was just curious where you were a minute ago.”
“No
where, I am just a little tired I guess.”
“Are
you ready to go home?”
She
wasn’t really but nodded her head anyway.
“Yeah, why don’t we go back and see if there are any old movies on.”
Trivette smiled knowing that was her way of asking him to spend the night. Just the two sleeping in each other’s arms,
nothing more. She had set that rule
from the beginning and he respected her for it.
*************************
CC
looked around the half full restaurant as she sat alone in the back
corner. After leaving work she hadn’t
wanted to go home so instead she went to her favorite place to eat and made her
way to her table. She had been to this
Emilio’s so many times that the Hostess knew her by name. Looking over the menu she selected something
different than her normal dish and sat back thinking about her afternoon
encounter with Gage.
For
some reason she couldn’t get him out of her head, there was just something
about him that made her heart sing out at the sight of him. His eyes seemed to dance when he smiled and
his voice was so sexy it made her heart skip a beat when he spoke. She had heard about how generous he was and
she just wanted to spend one evening to prove that she was someone special as
well. Just as she was about to be
completely lost in her thoughts someone began speaking to her pulling her out.
“Is
this seat taken?” Gage requested pulling out the chair and sitting down.
For
a second she wasn’t sure what to say as she found herself looking into the eyes
she had just been thinking about.
“No….go ahead.” She felt herself becoming flustered and wasn’t sure
why. Ever since she was a child she had
always been able to remain calm yet now as she found herself sitting together
with a man she had fallen for she wasn’t sure what to say or what to do.
“I
wasn’t expecting to find you here.” He said seeming almost nervous
himself. Gage wasn’t sure what was
going to come of this, he knew CC liked him but he wasn’t sure what he
wanted. He had been pulled in by Alex
several months ago yet from somewhere inside he felt their relationship maybe
wasn’t’ worth hanging onto. When CC had
begun to show an interest he had first tried pushing her away yet something had
clicked and he wanted to see who she really was. Finding her that evening had been luck because he had hoped to be
with Alex.
“Well
I didn’t really feel like cooking tonight so I was just going to have a quiet
dinner here instead.”
CC
found that after a few minutes her heart began to calm down and she was able to
form complete sentences. As their meals
came they continued talking not about work but instead their hobbies and CC
soon found herself hearing about Gage’s passions and why he had chosen to
become a Texas Ranger.
“Oh
my gosh, you know I have an early morning. Alex wants these depositions typed
up before ten tomorrow morning I really need to get going.” CC said a couple
hours later as she glanced at her watch.
“That’s
fine, I should turn in early myself I have a lot of work to catch up on with
Sydney out of the office right now.”
“How
is she doing?”
“She’s
doing really good, they found a donor for her and she’s having the transplant
in a couple of days.”
“Great,
I’m really glad to hear that.” CC said standing and grabbing her jacket and
purse and Gage stood to escort her out.
At the entrance they found themselves at a very awkward moment, neither
was sure what to do next.
“Thank
you CC, I had a really nice time tonight.” Gage said finally bending down and
kissing her on the cheek. CC watched as
he walked away as her cheeks became flushed and she slowly brought her hand up
to touch the spot where his lips had met her flesh. Turning she went to her car to drive home.
Gage
wasn’t sure what had just happened. He
felt so comfortable when he was with CC.
She was like something he had never imagined. Every woman he had ever pictured was nothing compared to what CC
was and the sudden emotions he was feeling were unfamiliar. He also began thinking about Alex, she was
wild and unpredictable and the type of woman he always found himself attracted
to. Going to his car he decided to just
head home and sleep on it. The answer
would come to him eventually.
-------------------------
"I'm
fine," Kathy said weakly coming to at the sound of her daughter's voice on
the other end of the telephone. "I'm just so happy that a donor match has
been found."
"You're sure that's all Mom?"
"Yes, don't worry about me. You just concentrate on getting
well."
"You are coming to Dallas when I have the transplant next week
aren't you?
"Next week…yes
of course I'll be there" Kathy answered.
"That's great. I really need you to be there. Mom just hearing this
news has made me feel better. So I think I'm going to go and get ready to go to
a friend's house warming party that I was invited to a while back."
"Okay Sydney. I'll call you tomorrow have a good time. Bye"
Sydney hung up the phone and went upstairs to change. Trent Malloy and
his "friend" Ronald, who owned the hair salon across, the street from
Thunder Karate had bought a new house together, . Carlos was supposed to be
bringing his new girlfriend, Melissa and she was excited meet her.
Kathy sat down stunned. What would it be
like to see him after all of these years? The thought both frightened and
intrigued her. Her mind started to drift back in time. It was her senior year
in high school. She was working in the restaurant that her parents owned. Close
by was a Marine base that had been used to temporarily station soldiers who
were shipping off to Vietnam
It was a temporary station for those getting
ready ship off to Vietnam.
A lot of young men came and went through Kathy and her family's
restaurant. Knowing they would only be around for a short time Kathy had never
paid much attention to any of them. That was until one day when a particular
young man walked through the door that immediately caught her attention. He had
red hair and the most amazing Grey eyes that she had ever seen.
The attraction was
instant and mutual. He told her that he was from Oklahoma and that he had
grown-up on a Cherokee Indian reservation. They spent hours talking. He told
her he had volunteered for his duty and dreamed of being the youngest officer
in the history of the marines. The bond between them was evident almost from
the beginning. He asked her out. But Kathy's parents didn't approve. They
thought that the 21-year-old Marine was too old for their 17-year-old daughter
and so they forbid her to see him. But her feelings for this man were so strong
that she felt she had no other choice but to go against her parent's wishes.
Sneaking out to see him they wanted to spend every minute that they possibly
could together, since they knew that their time together was short. In 3 weeks
he would be gone. On his last night before he left for Vietnam, they declared
their undying love for each other. They made plans to marry as soon as he
returned. They consummated their love that night.
About a month later
Kathy discovered that she was pregnant. Although she was frightened at the
thought of having to tell her parents that she was pregnant she was thrilled at
the thought of having the man that she loved child growing inside of her. She
immediately wrote a letter informing him that he was going to be a father. She
anxiously waited for his reply. Kathy was certain that he would be just as
happy as she was. She waited and waited for his letter, but it never came. She
was devastated. Her parents wanted her to give the baby up for adoption and at
first she agreed to that. However after Sydney was born she changed her mind.
She just couldn't part with her baby girl. Just as Kathy was remembering the
first time she saw her beautiful daughter her husband, Aaron came through the
door.
Kathy had married Aaron when Sydney was five years old. Even though
Sydney knew he was not her biological father, she considered him to be her
father since he was the only one she had ever known. After Kathy told Aaron the good news about a donor being found he
suggested that they go to their favorite restaurant, McNeely's Irish Pub to
celebrate. Their friends Dan and Terry McNeely owned it.
****************************
“Walker,
we’re heading out.” Trivette said as he and Tammy walked past his partner’s
booth.
“Is
that so?” Alex said giving a sideways glance to Tammy. Their animosity for each other was growing
and Trivette noted it.
“Yes
that is so. Isn’t it time you returned
to your brothel?” Tammy threw back.
“Well
at least I know how to please a man.” Alex replied taking Walker’s hand in
hers..
Trivette
put his arm around Tammy’s waist and guided her out. “Jimmy, Walker is a great
guy I just don’t get why he’s with her.” Her thoughts went to her partner who
had on more than one occasion expressed her true feelings for Walker. “My best
friend Crystal is going to be in town tomorrow. What would Walker say if we
fixed them up?”
“He’s
never been one for that but let me ask him.”
“It
can’t do any harm. The least that could happen is Cahill will leave him alone
and who knows maybe something will come of it.”
“Well Cordell,
should we follow suit and get out of here too?” Alex asked tracing a line up
his arm with her finger.
“You
are a grown woman and can do what you want. I’m heading home.” Alex sat there
with a disgusted expression on her face as she watched Walker exit CD’s. She had just been made a fool of and wasn’t
very exited about that. No one treated
her like that she would get revenge.
Alex
sat there watching Walker exit CD’s.
Looking around the room she wanted to make sure no one had heard or seen
what had just taken place. No one treated her the way Walker had just
displayed, she needed to go home and think.
Finishing her drink she slowly rose and putting her purse on her
shoulder she left as though she were on top of the world. She would go home and figure out what next
with Cordell Walker, she would have him one way or the other.
-----------------------------------------
“I
still can’t believe you live in Dallas.” CD exclaimed as the cab stopped at a
small apartment in the stockyards.
“It’s
a small world isn’t it darling?” Crystal said taking her back. “I’d ask you in
but I’m just exhausted.”
“That’s
understandable. I’ll call you tomorrow.” Kissing her quickly CD watched his
fiancée as she slowly went up the stairs.
He was ecstatic that she had said yes, so happy in fact he couldn’t wait
until the next afternoon when he got the chance to introduce her to Walker and
Trivette.
Entering
her small and cozy apartment Crystal put her luggage down in the entranceway
and walked into the living room.
Plopping down on the sofa she closed her eyes for a second to get her
footing. She had been gone now two
months and things were finally beginning to move. It had taken her awhile to get the old man’s confidence and now
that she had it and was back in Dallas she hoped this case could be wrapped up
in a couple of weeks. The entire trip
had drained her and after the case was finished she was going to take a LONG
vacation.
During
her trip her thoughts had kept wandering back to one person, Cordell
Walker. One night Tammy had taken her
into CD’s to meet her new boyfriend.
Just moments after Trivette had arrived and sat down his partner had
arrive and Crystal had been gone. He
was absolutely gorgeous from his bulging biceps to broad chest she had wanted
nothing else than to find a corner booth and get to know him better.
They
had been introduced but it appeared that Walker was a shy individual because
after shaking hands he had left the trio and headed for the bar. Crystal had begun working up the nerve to go
over and talk to him but just as she started moving in came Assistant District
Attorney Alex Cahill. Alex had sat down
next to Walker at the bar and it appeared that there could be something going
on. Unfortunately it wasn’t until after
Walker had left that Trivette finally made a comment that there wasn’t anything
going on. But the next day Crystal left
for the cruise to meet up with CD Parker and now she was engaged. Thankful the engagement was only temporary
she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep dreaming of the Ranger in black
who had stolen her heart.
-----------------------------------
“Pretty
Woman again?” Trivette exclaimed as Tammy put the movie in the VCR.
“What
are you complaining about you fall asleep before Edward even meets Vivian.” He
chuckled remembering the last time they had watched the movie. For days he and Walker and been working on a
stakeout and when he had finally caught a moment to get to her apartment he had
fallen asleep moments later.
“Before
we get involved in this movie there’s something I would like to ask you.”
Tammy
stopped in mid-step with the bag of popcorn ready to be poured into the bowl.
“Yes.” She replied as he motioned for her to sit beside him on the couch.
“We’ve
only known each other for a short period of time, but I feel as though I’ve
known you my entire life.” He paused and moved as he was on one knee. “Will you marry me?” There he had said it
and awaited the verdict.
It
took a moment for the words to actually sink in, he had really proposed. “Of course.” She exclaimed as Trivette
finally exhaled the breath he had been
holding.
Pulling
her close they embraced and it was then he remembered the ring he had put in
his pocket. Taking it out he placed the
one-carat solitaire on her finger.
Gently bending forward he captured her lips in his and kissed her.
They
talked about initial plans and finally decided to settle into the movie. Tammy couldn’t help but chuckle softly as
she loved over and found Trivette asleep just as Vivian walked down the
sidewalk to meet Edward for the first time. Turning off the TV and VCR she moved
over and placing her head on his chest she too fell asleep.
------------------------
Pounding…someone
was pounding on his door. Bolting awake
Gage grabbed his robe as he looked at the clock. Three a.m., who was knocking on his door at this hour? Checking
first he opened the door finding Alex standing before him in nothing but a
sheer nightgown.
“Gage,
I’m sorry, I should have realized you were all I needed tonight.” Alex said
moving forward into the apartment and going to where Gage stood. She had sat
gloomily at CD’s for a few hours downing drinks until Marta refused to serve
her. She then had slowly gone home and
changing into her nightgown she knew she didn’t want to spend the night alone. It was then she realized how to snag Walker
into loving her. She would get pregnant
then he would have to marry her. It
didn’t really matter if the child was his as long as he believed it was his.
“Is
that so?” He asked as she walked up to him and wrapped her arms around his neck
and pulled him close for a deep and passionate kiss. Taking her in his arms he carried her to bed where they spent the
remaining morning hours making love.
