The cool breeze swept swiftly through Lois' apartment as she shivered under her comforter, trying her best to sleep. She couldn't help but ponder about the ghost that she saw and heard few hours ago. She then studied the apartment and searched for another sign of the ghost but was unsuccessful. She turned to the other side of the bed and found Chloe sound asleep, like a baby. She then stared blankly at the ceiling and shut her eyes to sleep.

All of a sudden, she felt a tap on her arm. She opened her eyes and found them locked between the eyes of the ghost who appeared to be a little child; her face was white as snow and her hair was long and unkempt. Lois looked over at Chloe and noticed that she had vanished from her bed. She turned back to face the ghost and found that she was gone too. Lois began to breathe heavily as sweat trickled down from her forehead; she got out from her bed and went on a quest to find Chloe.

"Chloe!" Lois called as she searched every corner of the apartment. She then tried to flick the lights on but the power was out.

"Chloe!" Lois called for the second time, but there was still no sign of her. Suddenly, the ghost appeared again and chased her from across the apartment. Lois attempted to reach for the door and twist it opened but it was stuck.

"What do you want from me?" she began to question the ghost. The ghost refused to speak but instead, she stretched out both her hands and motioned to strangled Lois' neck. The ghost used all her might to strangled Lois and left her breathless. Lois struggled and fought back but failed as the ghost had the strength of twice her size. Lois screamed for help, but couldn't because the ghost's hands was pressed against her throat and trachea making it harder to produce a sound.

"Lois, Lois!" said a familiar voice and to her surprise her apartment was bright as daylight and she saw Chloe beside her dressed in her office attire. Lois also realized that she was back in bed and it was seven o'clock in the morning.

"Oh my god, Chloe. I'm so glad to see you," said Lois as she leaped out from her bed and gave her a hug.

"What do you mean you're glad to see me? We see each other everyday." said Chloe confusingly, but returned the hug.

"Err.. I guess I was having a nightmare," said Lois as she bit her lip.

"Okay.. Do you wanna tell me about that nightmare that you just had?" inquired Chloe.

"Aren't you supposed to be ready for work?"

"Yeah, but if you want to talk about it you can come with me to The Planet." suggested Chloe.

"Fine, I'll get dressed."

Lois and Chloe were in the car on their way to Metropolis while Lois explained to Chloe about the nightmare she had last night.

"Chlo, she strangled me really hard and I thought that I was gone for good until you woke me up." Lois shared her nightmare with Chloe.

Chloe couldn't help but giggle at Lois while driving her bug. "That was some nightmare you had there, Lo."

"It's not funny, Chlo!" Lois sulkily crossed her arms.

"Okay, okay I'm just kidding" Chloe joked. "Besides, I've seen a ghost too remember?

"Oh, yeah. Gretchen the girl that cuts her wrist."

"Well, it's worse than that. She possessed me instead of haunting me and it was really traumatizing. But at least we managed to help Gretchen." said Chloe recalling the event.

"I wonder what Amy wants this time. She asked us to help her do you think we should?

"I don't see why we shouldn't."

"Yes, we got into this mess and I think we need to fix it." sighed Lois.

Once they arrived at The Daily Planet, Chloe parked her car in her usual spot and they head straight to the elevator that leads them to the basement. The elevator doors flung open to Chloe's office shared with the other interns. At her desk was a familiar face and it's none other than Jimmy Olsen.

"Good morning, Jimmy." Chloe paced towards him and gave him a kiss on his lips.

"Good morning, Chloe. I got you your favorite coffee." Jimmy handed Chloe the coffee.

"Aww.. Thanks." Chloe then gave him another kiss.

"Ahem!" Lois interrupted them.

"Oh, hi Lois. What brings you here?" Jimmy noticed Lois behind Chloe.

"Well, she's hanging out with me today since she's bored at home." explained Chloe.

"Why? Aren't you supposed to be working at The Inquisitor or something?"

"I got fired yesterday." Lois shrugged.

"I'm sorry to hear that." apologized Jimmy. "Why don't you come and help me do some investigations outside instead of sitting here with Chloe?"

"Sure, sounds like fun," agreed Lois as she followed Jimmy to his office. Chloe rolled her eyes out of annoyance at Jimmy's remark.

"So where are we heading to?" Lois asked curiously.

"A bandit recently escaped from prison and I'm trying to look for him. It'll make a great story if I manage to find him."

"I must say that you work harder than Chloe does."

"Thanks, are you ready to go?"

"Anytime."

Lois and Jimmy left the building and strode out to the streets of Metropolis to do their investigation. Meanwhile, at The Planet Chloe was working on her story when papers suddenly flew in disarray from her desk. To her surprise it was Clark Kent who is dressed in coat and tie.

"Clark, how many times did I tell you not barge in like that?" Chloe was irritated by Clark's sudden appearance as she got out from her seat and picked up her documents.

Clark bends down and assists Chloe to pick up the documents. "Sorry."

"Why are you dressed up like that?" Chloe raises her brows quizzically.

"I just came back from Washington from a conference with my mom."

"Oh, did you run there instead of taking the plane?"

"Yeah, it's not that far."

Chloe rolled her eyes. "Did the conference end early because it's still morning?"

"No, my mom was the first speaker and I left immediately after her speech."

"May I know why?"

"Well, I'm actually looking for Lois and I couldn't find her anywhere." Clark began looking around to find any sign of her.

"Oh, well you just missed her. She's out with Jimmy doing some investigations." clarified Chloe.

"Did she just join The Planet? Because I went and inquired at The Inquisitor and they said that she's not working there anymore."

"No, well she.. um.. got fired from The Inquisitor." stuttered Chloe. "But don't worry about that she's ready to move on."

"Oh, anyway I did some research on my mom's laptop this morning on the ghost she saw last night." Clark then took out some sheets of paper from his coat and presented it to Chloe. "Apparently, The Talon had some weird things going on centuries ago."

On the research that Clark obtained, there was information about a young girl named Amy who went missing in the year 1879. She was nine years of age during that time and she resembled exactly what Lois had described. It is also stated that the search patrol during that time tried to look for her but to no avail. Chloe and Clark then gave each other a suspicious look.

"Hey, Clark. Do you remember Gretchen? The ghost that possessed me from The Talon."

"Yeah. What about her?"

"Do you think that Amy's case is similar to Gretchen's?"

"Well, there's only one way to find out." Clark then took out another file and showed it to Chloe.

In it was a picture of a middle age man named John Kingston. He owned a brothel in the place that is known as The Talon now. Most of the women that lived with him went missing and were never found. Soon after that, John committed suicide without an apparent reason. 'Til today no news was found about the women who vanished into thin air.

"Wow, I didn't know that researching was part of your talent too," said Chloe surprised at Clark's research ability.

"Thanks, but do you have any idea when they'll be back?"

"I'm not sure but why don't you go out there and look for them?"

"It's okay; I need to get back to Washington before my mom finds out that I went missing in action. We'll meet in The Talon tonight and share this information with them."

"Okay, I'll let them know"

Clark gave Chloe a warm smile and dashed out from the building. Chloe took the information that Clark left her with and began doing some research of her own and hoped that she could get more details on the women that went missing.
