 Chapter 1

 The moon lit up the night sky of the busy city, and many danger lurked the streets at night. One of the local night clubs had one of their big parties, so the place was packed. But for one young drunk girl it was too much, heading out the back door into the dark alley to get some fresh air. She leans against the wall, and pulls down her short dress, she then hears something break down the alley and quickly tries to see what it is, but her eyes try hard to adjust to the darkness. She then sees a dark figure coming out of the light, she is first shocked but looks again and then shows a sign of relief.

 "Oh it's you! What are you doing here?" The drunk girl says, barely being able to stand on her own two feet, the figure the comes closer and only smiles at her.

 "What the f**k you smiling about?" She says and with that she feels a sharp sting go across her throat, she places her hand on her neck and only sees blood. The person then brings up a huge knife stained with blood. The girl the realizes that her throat was slashed, she turns around to try and reach the door, but everything goes blurry and she stumbles to the ground, gasping for air a second and then nothing. The killer then wipes the knife clean and turns around to walk out the alley. The drunk girl now lying there, dead.

 The sun rises over the 'Big-D' city, and people go about their ways and none know of the carnage that has befallen the city the night before, or some prefer not to think about it. But more and more people were starting to hear about the murders, and it was hard not to think about it walking down the lonely street at night. Some starting talking about a mad serial killer wondering the street's of Dallas at night, watching the loners and as they passed the killer, he would leap out of the darkness and slit their throat's with a knife. Detective Monica Banon had been handelling the case for the past month but little evidence could be gathered, who ever the killer was, he was good.

 RANGER HEADQUARTERS

 "So how was your trip to New York Uncle Walker?" Monica asks him as she takes a seat at Walker's desk after greeting her father's close friend. "Great, your dad really spoiled me over there. He really has his connections in New York, and helped me catch that bank robber who fled to New York from here." Walker tells her, he had been working on a back robbery case and a tip-off told him that the leader had fled to New York, and he knew only one man could assist him in catching the guy, and that man was Monica's father, Race Banon. Race was an old friend of Walker's, both of them going into the force. Race stayed with NYPD and had made it through to Captain, even though Walker had begged him to come to Dallas and become a Texas Ranger, he had the right stuff. But Race refused his offer, since Monica was still very young and  Race had just come out of a divorce with his wife. Demi Banon got a job offering to work at DC in the White House, her good ex-husband got her a good
 connection there, which would end in a divorce because she wanted to move there and Race couldn't just leave everything in New York, so she took the job and left Race to raise a young daughter, which had grown to be a young actress and now a lead detective here in Dallas and her fathers pride and joy.

 "Yeah dad sure knows his way around the big-apple." Monica says smiling at Walker.

 "So, what did you do this weekend while I was gone?" Walker asks her and continue's to write  his report.

 "Ah, not much. I fed the horses, kept the house clean. Just had a relaxing weekend." Monica answers him but looks away and smiles.

 "O that's nice, so what you really do?" Walker asks her again looking straight through her story and smiles back at her.

 "What do you mean?" Monica asks him looking innocent.

 "Come on Monica, I've known you since you were running around in diapers! I think I know when your not being honest with me!" Walkers says to her with a grin.

 "Damn you are good. Ok, ok, Trent was at the Ranch the weekend and we just had some fun, that's all." Monica says to Walker, she took care of the Ranch while Walker was in New York so Trent spent the weekend there with her. Going riding with the horses and just having fun.

 "Fun huh? Is that why my potch swing is broken?" Walker asks her smiling.

 "Now that wasn't my fault Uncle Walker, Trent was all goofy and stuff, he picked me up and when he sat down on the thing, it just broke! I promise I'll buy you a new one!" Monica explains at him with a innocent look.

 "Nah don't worry about it, just as long as you two had fun. You guys have really come a long way, how long has it been now?" Walker asks her putting down his pen.

 "Over a year. Yeah, I can't believe how happy I am now Walker. I love Trent so much." Monica says and Walker sees the twinkle in her eyes.

 "Well, I happy for you both. You know I saw your mother this weekend, she was visiting your dad. I didn't know they were still such good friends?" Walker says to her, and Monica's smile disapears.

 "Yeah, they do keep in touch. With mom working in DC all these years, I think it gave them some time to forgive each other, but I think friends is all they'll remain." Monica says to Walker, the memory of her mother leaving over 12 years ago was vaguely, she knew her father would forgive her one day, but she would always remember her mother for leaving her and her dad, and for that she would never forgive her.

 "So, how have things been going at work? You still working on that serial killer case? People are even talking about it in New York." Walker asks her remembering the horrible murders that have been going around here in Dallas.

 "Yip, still busy, O yes I wanted to talk to you about it..." Just then Monica's cell-phone rings. "Excuse me for a sec Uncle Walker." She says to him and stands up, takes the phone out of her jacket and answers it.

 "Detective Banon.....when?....alright I'll be there as soon as I can." And with that she puts the phone away.

 "Trouble?" Walker asks her knowing that something was wrong with the way Monica spoke on the phone.

 "They just found another body, a 17 year old girl near a bar. This is the third murder this week Walker! This is getting serious." Monica tells him taking her seat again and sinking her head in her hands.

 "You think it's the same guy?" Walker asks her.

 "We think so, all the murders so far have been done through a cut to the throat, but still no fingerprints, nothing!" Monica says looking up at Walker again and then looks away with an evil grin.

 "Well, I'm sure something will turn up. Who's working with you on the case?" Walker asks her, he knew that with something as big as this, there wouldn't just be one detective working on the case.

 "A number of new cops, some of them are good friends, I trust them. But there's a new detective who got transferred from New York a few weeks ago. She's an old friend,....not really a friend, just a girl I went to school with, never really could stand her anyway!" Monica says and Walker just smiles at her.

 "Well, don't let something like that take you attention of the case." Walker tells the young detective, even though she was young, that didn't mean that she didn't know how to handle herself.

 "I know Walker, it's just. She's always with the new rookie cops and flirting with them?!?! I guess it just irritates me, I don't know." Monica says.

 "Are you sure there isn't a little bit of jealously in there somewhere?" Walker asks her smiling.

 "Please Uncle Walker!! The lady flirted with my boyfriend just last week!! I was up in my office and she was all over Trent. Luckily he doesn't like her either." She says getting angry again, and Walker just smiles.

 "Anyway, I called my dad this morning to ask if he could come and help me with this serial killer. He'll be here tomorrow to led a hand." She says to Walker.

 "Good, the more Banon's we have on this case, the better!" Walker says laughing and Monica just looks at him and smiles.

 Monica soon after headed to the crime scene, same story as the others. Throat was slit and no fingerprints. But something didn't make any sense to Monica as she thought to herself, none of the women had been raped, which was usually the case, this killer was either smart not to rape the woman, otherwise the police would have some evidence on the guy, but still all the victims were young and beautiful, why? Why choose them instead of just a ordinary person? But she was sure that as soon as her dad got here, they would have the case solved and the killer caught. But there was still something inside of her she had a bad feeling about, some Cherokee Walker had pasted on to her?? Nah, probably nothing, but she kept the feeling at the back of her head.  She then headed to the Dallas police department to fill out the report, she had wondered where  her so called 'partner' was, ten to one she was with some of the rookies at the department. After she was done filling out the report she walked out of her office to go and see Trent at Thunder Investigations.

"Yo Mon, what's up girl?" Mike Larry said coming from behind Monica who was on her way out, but stopped and turned around to greet him. Mike had become a really good friend, they usually worked together, but he was still busy with another case, so he couldn't help her out. Mike was quite the tall and thin type of guy ,and didn't have a very dark black skin, and had sense of humour on him that only Monica could stand.

 "Hey Mike, not much. On my way to see Trent, why what's up?" Monica says standing still waiting for Mike to catch up.

 "O nothing, just wanted to say hi. Hey, have you seen your detective buddy around lately?" Mike  asks her getting a huge smile on his face, but not because he liked her, and even she didn't like him.

 "O man, where is she?" Monica answers him rolling her eyes.

 "Might try looking in the lounge where are the rookies are hanging out." Mike says to her looking down the hall.

 "Yeah, where else?!? Man, she just cannot stay away from them huh. Has she tried one on you too?" Monica asks Mike putting her hands on her sides.

 "No way!! I don't think she likes me very much, probably because I'm friends with you!" Mike says to her and Monica just playfully punches him on his shoulder.

 "Ouw, so what's up with you two? You didn't get along at school or something?" Mike asks Monica rubbing his shoulder.

 "As a matter of fact, we did   have out little battle's at school." Monica says looking at him smiling.

 "Really?" Mike says and walks to the coffee machine to get a cup.

 "Yeah, for some reason she wanted all the guys to herself, and the minute some guy would like me, the cat fight would start." Monica says and follow's Mike to the machine as he pours some coffee in.

 "Ha, I bet you kicked her ass!" Mike says as he pours the milk in.

 "O ya Good!" Monica says laughing. Just then her good friend Detective Michelle Summers comes walking to Monica and Mike.

 "Hey, guys. What's up?" Michelle greets them, Michelle was the kind of woman with still a little teenage-spark in her. She had a small slim body and long blonde hair which she usually hung loose, she and Monica became friend the minute Monica joined the force. And they were known for putting the personality in the Police force.

 "Hey you. Not much. Me and Mike were just wondering where my good partner was." Monica says smiling at Mike.

 "Lounge. Just walked pasted there, I think she was standing on the table giving a speech to the boys." Michelle answers her rolling her eyes and crossing her arms. Monica and Michelle really thought alike and both of them didn't like Detective Kate Williams.

 "Well, you two better get her out of there then before the rookie school turns into high school!" Mike says and takes a sip of his hot coffee.

 "Yeah your right, see you later. Come on Michelle, we better go get her out of there." Monica says and the two women greet Mike and walk off to the lounge.

 "See ya girls." And with that Mike turns around and starts his way back to his office.

 Once she and Michelle walks inside they are shocked to see the lady detective sitting on the table with all the rookies sitting around her, laughing and joking. Monica walks inside and knocks on the open door and walks halfway inside.

 "Um Kate, could we talk to you for a second?" Monica asks Kate who was still sitting on the table, she then looks at Monica and Michelle with a big smile and jumps off the table. Her short brown hair, green eyes and slim body was enough to get any man around her finger. She hadn't changed at all since high school.

 "Hey you two, sure." Kate walk up to her and Monica just turns around and walks out the door, Michelle gives a look and turns around following Monica out the room. Kate then winks back at the guys and follow them. Once outside Monica turns around and shuts the door behind Kate.

 "What's up?" Kate asks her smiling brightly.

 "Why weren't you at the crime scene this morning? You're supposed to be my partner Kate, that means you show up at help me gather the evidence." Monica tells  her with her arms crossed infront, and Michelle stands by to let Monica talk.

 "I heard you were already there, and you are the best Mon. I would only have gotten in the way, and the rookies needed someone to lecture them." Kate says to Monica and could see that Monica wasn't in a good mood, and neither was the blonde.

 "Don't try and suck up to me Kate, I'm not one of those boys in there you can wrap around your finger! And as long we're working together on this case, you'll show up and keep up! O and by the way, Captain Banon from New York will be here to help with the case, so try to show up when he arrives here, Ok?" Monica says to her straight with anger in her voice.

 "Jeez, alright! I'm sorry Mon, it won't happen again." Kate says looking at her innocently asking for forgiveness.

 "Good." Monica then turns around to walk away when Kate adds something.

 "Listen Monica, I know we didn't get along in high school. But I've changed and I just want us to be friends, please?" Kate asks her.

 "I'll see you tomorrow Kate, come on Michelle." Monica adds and turns again and walks away this time, with Michelle giving Kate one last evil look. Kate watches them walk away when Jack Barr comes walking down the hall. Jack had been on the force for a few years and usually helped the detectives out on cases, but he mostly worked with Mike. He was ok between the guys, but none of the women liked him for some reason, maybe because he would flirt with every women officer in the force, the wrong way. His well built body and short blonde hair was enough to catch any womans eye, but it was his personality they hated.

 "Man, does Monica looked pissed?!?!" Jack says smiling as he sees Monica and Michelle storming away.

 "Nah, just tired I guess." Kate says watching them walk away and smiling.

 "Well, just watch you don't piss her off Kate, I know your new here. And the best thing to do is to keep out of Monica's way, she is one bad girl to mess with." Jack says warning Kate even though he didn't like her much anyway, but ignored it.

 "Yeah, you had a run in with her a few months ago didn't you Jack?" Kate says turning to him and smiling.

 "That was nothing Kate." Jack says looking away from her.

 "O yeah? I heard you tried to rub her off of Trent? Didn't work huh? Heard she gave you one hell of a punch when you tried to make a move on her?" Kate says further, she could see Jack didn't like talking about it.

 "Look I said it was nothing alright!! The damn bitch took the move totally wrong, I wasn't going to kiss her." Jack says getting angry, yes he had a thing for Monica, even though he knew she was dating Trent. He thought he could make her change her mind if he tried to make a move on her, and even though Monica pushed him away, he admit's it was stupid to try and force himself on her. That's when she wacked him one, after that Jack stayed out of her way, but he hated her deep inside.

 "Yeah right Jack, kind of stupid of you making a move on her when you knew she was dating Trent." She tells him trying to really tick him off.

 "You don't' wanna see my bad side Kate! You may be new here, but I promise you I'll make your life here a living hell." Jack says to Kate while grabbing her arm. Kate just looks into his eyes and smiles.

 "Too bad Monica didn't kick you in the balls, because that's obviously where you brain is!" Kate says and pulls loose of Jack's grip and walks off. Jack stands there and watches her walk down the hall.

 "You don't wanna mess with me bitch, you will be sorry." He thinks to himself for a second and then turns the other way to get some coffee.

 At Thunder Investigations Trent, Carlos and Kim where busy getting some information on a man who had just left his wife on her own, and hadn't been seen for two days. Monica and Michelle then come walking in the office and are greeted with smiles.

 "Hi-Ya guys." Monica says as she and Michelle enter the office, Michelle then closes the door behind her and Monica walks up to Trent.

 "Hi!" Carlos and Kim say while looking deeply into the computer screen looking for some info. But Carlos's eyed quickly takes a look at Michelle, she really looked good in a small skirt and blue vest shirt.

 "Hey you guys, where you been?" Trent says to Monica, then kisses and hugs her.

 "O, I was at Walker's this morning then went to the office. We found another body." She says and all the smiles disappear.

"Another girl?" Carlos asks her looking up to Monica and Michelle, and Kim's eyes follow.

 "Yeah, 17 years old. And we still haven't been able to find anything to lead us to the killer." Monica says and takes a seat, Trent then sits next to her and places his arm around her shoulders.

 "Man, this is getting bad. What kind of person could be doing this?" Carlos says to them all. He then walks around and go stands next to Michelle and smiles at  her, and she smiles back at the dark haired stud.

 "The kind that going to be caught by my girl over here." Trent says and hugs Monica and kisses her forehead.

 "Thanks honey. My dad is coming down tomorrow to help us with the case. Maybe then we can get something on this guy, no thanks by the way to my new partner Kate!" She says and tries not to get to angry.

 "You mean that girl that flirted with Trent last week?" Carlos says smiling, taking his eyes off Michelle's.

 "Carlos! She was not flirting, we were just...talking." Trent says, he knew very well that Kate was flirting with him, but didn't want Monica to hear it, he knew she didn't like her.

 "It's ok Trent, I know she was flirting with you, Hard! But don't feel special or anything, she does that with all the guys!" Monica jokes with Trent.

 "O don't worry I wont', besides she like Carlos much more!" Trent says and both he and Monica glare up at Carlos who looks at them with a grin.

 "She what?" Michelle asks surprised. Looking at Monica who just lifts her shoulders, not knowing anything.

 "Me?" Carlos asks sarcastically.

 "Yes you, I think she's crazy about you. All she ever talks about at work is you ." Trent adds.

 "Really?? Well I have been known to have that sort of effect on women." Carlos says getting all high and mighty, and Trent just rolls his eyes.

 Yeah, whatever Carlos. Man look at the time, we had better get back to work before our boss kills us." Michelle says having heard enough about this.

 "Your right buddy, we better go." Monica adds and stands up with Trent following her.

 "Hey, could I ride along with you guys. I need to get some info on your computers for our case, if that's ok?!" Carlos asks putting his hand on Michelle's shoulder, and she feels her legs go numb.

 "Sure Carlos, but if the only reason you want to go with us is to see Kate, just say so." Monica says smiling at him, and Carlos know he's caught out.

 "It's not the only reason, it's the main reason, but it's not the only reason!" Carlos says and everyone else just laughs, all except Michelle. Monica and Trent then kiss and they walk down to Monica's black Jeep Wrangler. Carlos, Michelle and Monica then get in and drive off to the police station. Once they get there, they are greeted by Mike who is on his way out, with Jack following him.

 "You back already? People are going to start to think you two actually like working here. Hey Carlos, how you been man?" Mike says stopping to greet his friends, while Jack just keeps to one side not saying anything.

 "I'm good man, where you off to?" Carlos answers his friend, Mike and Carlos were buddies when Carlos was still a detective. The two were known for their sarcastic jokes around the department and held the title of 'The Kings of Practical Jokes'.

 "Got a call on one of my suspects being spotted downtown. I'll see you guys later, bye!" And with that Mike and Jack, without saying anything, storm out of the building.

 "Bye Mike." Monica says, she, Michelle and Carlos then go up the elevator to the 5th floor and head  to her office and on the way they meet Kate.

 "Carlos, what are you doing here!!" Kate says and hugs Carlos as Monica sees the look on Michelle's face and knows that trouble is coming.

 "Just following these two around." Carlos jokes as he points to Monica and Michelle, and he and Kate share a laugh and the two friends feel like their ready to throw-up.

 "Nah, I'm just kidding. I needed some info from you files." Carlos says when he sees Monica rolling her eyes, and the look Michelle was giving him.

 "Well then, why don't I go and help you with that. I'm sure Monica has lots of work to do, isn't that right Mon?" Kate says and hooks her one arm into Carlos's, and looks at Monica smiling.

 "Why you slimly little...." Michelle says and steps towards her, but Monica stops her and tries to keep her away from Kate.

 "Yes well, we'll be seeing you around. Come on Michelle. See you later Carlos." Monica says pulls Michelle on her arm dragging her away and they walk to Monica's office, and Kate smiles at her with a grin after the two turns their back's on them.

 "Bye Mon. Bye Michelle." Carlos says, he felt bad about Michelle. He wasn't sure what was between them, he really liked her, but wasn't sure if she liked him. But he wasn't the kind to just ignore someone like Kate. She then leads him the way to her office.

 "Once inside Monica's office, Michelle slams the door shut and stamps her foot hands against the floor making fists.

 "Ooh, I hate her! Did you see the way she was hanging all over him! Uh I could just kill her!" Michelle says loosing her temper. Monica just goes around her desk and checks the new paperwork left for her to read.

 "Yes I saw. What are you going on about Michelle. You don't like Carlos, do you?" Monica asks looking up at her friend smiling. Michelle then crosses her arms and gives her a grin look.

 "Are you kidding, Carlos is a self-centred, sarcastic, selfish, little boy!" Michelle says about Carlos. Monica then looks at her rising one eyebrow.

 "You like him that much huh?" Monica says to her and Michelle just smiles at her and takes a seat at her desk.

 "Aah, isn't he great?! I mean the way he looks at me, and the way he touches me. It's enough to make a girl go crazy, don't you think?" Michelle asks her friends sitting at the desk going through the papers.

 "I wouldn't know Michelle, I'm going out with Trent remember?" Monica says to her sarcastically.

 "Whatever. So what do you think?" Michelle asks her excitedly at the edge of her seat.

 "About what?" Monica asks her confused.

 "About me and Carlos? Think we'd make a good pair?" Michelle asks her friends opinion, and Monica just smiles at her.

 "Sweety, I think you two would be great together. But I think you should know that Carlos isn't the long term  relationship kind of guy." Monica says to her smiling. She knew Michelle liked Carlos, for a long time now, but they just never got to it. Carlos would just have to learn to be more committed in a relationship, and maybe Michelle would be the one to show him the meaning of the word.

 "I know, but maybe. Someday." Michelle says smiling back.

 "Defenitly! I'd rather see Carlos with you than Kate!" Monica says to her with a grin on her face.

 "Gee thanks." Michelle says and the two friends share a laugh.

 Later that night Monica comes home to the apartment where Trent was waiting for her. She walks inside and sees Trent sitting infront of the tv.

 "Hey honey." Monica says and just drops her bag on the chair and go sits next to Trent.

 "Hi baby, man you look tired. Can I get you a drink?" Trent says and kisses her as she sinks in next to him and rest her head on his shoulder.

 "No thanks, I just want this day to be over." She says and wrap her arms around him.

 "That bad huh? Ah, don't worry, tomorrow your dad will be here then you'll get this case wrapped up." Trent says to his love kissing her head.

 "Wrapped up?!? You sound like someone from Scooby-Doo! But yeah, somehow everything always falls into place when my dad is around." She jokes first and then looks deeply into Trent's eyes.

 "So, what do you say I treat you and make us dinner?" Trent says smiling at her.

 "You want to make us food?" Monica asks looking at Trent with a grin.

 "No, I meant I'll make the call. What do you feel like? Pizza or Chinese food??" Trent says to her and Monica can only laugh at him, and he hugs her tight again kissing her forehead.

 "You know, it's moment like these that make me realize how much I love you." And with that Monica leans forward and kisses him passionately.

 "Mon, there's  something I've wanted to ask you..." Trent says looking into her eyes.

 "What sweety?" Monica asks him smiling at him with her blue eyes, Trent looks at her for a second and then hesitates.

 "Nothing, never mind." And he leans forward and they continue kissing each other.

 The next morning went by quickly. Monica, Trent and Walker were at the Airport waiting for Race when his plane finally arrived and as he came walking down the Arrivals hallway, Monica ran up to him and hugged her father she hadn't seen for months.

 "There's my butterfly!! O, I've missed you so much sweetheart!" Race says hugging his baby girl.

 "I've missed you too Dad." She answers him, then Trent and Walker come walking up to them.

 "Hi Race." Walker greets his friend and Race greets him back  and they shake hands.

 "Nice to see you again mister Banon." Trent says and also shakes Race's hand.

 "You too Trent. What say we get out of here, huh? I hate airports!" Race says and with that they all start walking towards the Exit.

 Later after Race booked himself a room at a nearby hotel, they all headed to the police department, but Trent headed back to the office to help out with their case, but they had arranged to all meet at CD's tonight for some dinner. After greeting everyone at the station, Race immediately took hold of the situation, going through the evidence and reports of the murders. They held a meeting with the officers who were involved with the case, and even Kate was there. With all of Race's experience being an  Government Army soldier and the NYPD he pointed out more evidence and gave an idea for the officers with what kind of killer they were dealing with.

 "The important thing right now is to try and get an idea of how this killer looks like, each of you  should get your own idea, then you know what your looking for. Try to imagine yourself as the killer, for what reason's would you be committing these murders, and where would you strike next? All of the murders an three things in common. One...all the victims are young......Two....all of them beautiful and alone at the time of the murder......And Three.......all attacks have taken place near teenage hang-outs. Meaning I want patrol cars checking  out every bar in this city! Every night club, every party, and every bar. This killer is going to strike again people and it's our responisiblity to stop him before he kills again." Race speeches the room full of officers, the DPD Captain then stands up and walks to Race.

 "Thank you Captain Banon, I'm sure with that we'll have this killer behind bars in no time." Captain Harris says tells the rest of the room, then the officers clap their hands.

 "My pleasure Captain." Race says and sits next to Monica.

 .......
