The Next Morning-Watchtower

Chloe awoke alone in her huge bed. The sunlight was streaming through the windows and she sat up slowly to stretch. Today should have been a day where she and Jimmy would wake up to each other and smile after a night of passion. No, today was not that day, it never will be that day. She made her way to the shower and let the burning hot water absorb her skin. It was refreshing and painful at the same time. Ever since he died she tortured her self like this, she almost was numb when she got this rush. After enough torture to get her blood pumping she stepped out of the shower and dried off. Quickly, she dried and straightened her hair whilst putting her make up on to. Chloe noticed that she put more make up on now. To cover the circles under her eyes, and the sudden wrinkles that lined her eyelids. From her lack of sleep. At 23, she shouldn't have any of that. She got dressed into a comfy jeans and blouse and went downstairs. Pouring herself a cup of coffee, she walked into the computer den and sat at the biggest computer. Her first priority was to find Lois. Now that Lois was her only hope. After about 30 minutes of tracking the globe and coming up with nothing, an email popped up from Tess Mercer. It read:

Chloe,

I recently heard of your loss and I am terribly sorry, my deepest regrets to you. I have found no trace of Lois, but I continue to work on it. I can't seem to find Clark either, do you know where he is? I understand that Davis Bloome is dead, but I can help you with your losses in a way that you can only imagine, if you help me find Davis's body. I know you don't trust me, but you must. I have told Oliver about this and he has agreed to help you, I also promised him that I would do anything in my power to find your cousin, he agrees and he would too. Please contact me as soon as possible, I am currently in Shanghai and will be for 3 months.

Sincerely,

Tess Mercer

Chloe sat in front of her computer in a state of shock. Tess Mercer actually wanted to help her. Only if she would help find Davis's dead body. His body was nowhere to be found after it was taken to the morgue. Now why in God's name would she want to find the body of her husband's murderer. Chloe wondered what Tess meant by helping her with her loss in a way that she couldn't imagine. Chloe was going to Shanghai. She quickly made her reservations online and packed her things. She figured she wasn't going for a very long time, so she packed her largest handbag with two shirts, a black dress, a pair of pajamas, (plus her coat and the clothes she had on), her cell phone, ipod, everything else, and a small photo frame of Jimmy. She put her stuff by the door and shut down the house lights. As she was walking out the door she bumped into someone. She turned around and looked up at a familiar face.
