Davis' phone chirped once he got back into cell service range. Then it chirped again.

He had voicemails. He would wait until he got back to his apartment to listen to them. He knew better than to drive on while his cell, after all. An EMT saw too many results of that.


He had been away from his apartment for almost three weeks, as he lived in the woods trying to control the monster inside. He wasn't any closer to doing so then he was weeks ago, but he still found himself happy to be home.

His phone chirped at him again. Oh right. Voicemail.

He had two voicemails from Ann, his friend that ran the teen home asking if he was back yet. One voicemail telling him they could fix his debt. Another was from one of his EMT buddies.

Then he heard her.

Chloe had called him.

He sat on the arm of his couch as he heard her for the first time since before the nightmare of her wedding. His time with Not-Chloe and his stalking her across the street didn't count. This was his Chloe speaking to him.

After the first few words, he pulled the phone from his ear and looked at it incredulously. She sounded more than a bit drunk.

"Davis, it's Chloe. I know we haven't talked since before my wedding, but I had hoped to get hold of you. You are my friend, and I miss you. Yeah, so, anyway. Call me. It's Chloe. Chloe Sullivan."

Then the automated voicemail last told him the time and date of the call. He looked at the phone incredulously again. She had called at 3am last night?

He was ready to hang up, when his phone announced another voicemail.

It was Chloe again, but this call was very different from the last.

He listened through the message. When it was done, his breathing was ragged. He keyed the number to replay the message, then started fumbling with his belt.


Now, again, you have some options. I wrote a smutty scene of Chloe leaving the voicemail and Davis' reaction upon hearing it. As before, I wanted to keep this story T rated overall, so I posted the next section as M rated companion story "Interlude 4" here on FF. I also have it as NC-17 Interlude chapter on my livejournal site. My livejournal site is on my profile.

So you can shift for some smut, or just stay with this storyline if you want to keep it clean. :)
