"I really look forward to these weekly lunch dates." Lena said to Andrea as they sat at a table on the balcony outside her office.

"Oh me too and I'm just sorry we have to eat at my office." She said as she put her napkin on her lap.

"It's fine, I've been eating in my office a lot and it's nice to try something new." Lena chuckled awkwardly.

They made small talk as they ate then Lena casually asked where Kara was.

"She's on assignment with Will Dey."

"Is he a good reporter?" Lena asked casually, "A good guy you trust?"

"He's a reporter, my employee. I trust him to do his job." Andrea told her then arched an eyebrow, "Why the questions? Are you worried about him being with Kara? Because let me tell you that ship already sailed."

"What do you mean?" Lena asked really not wanting to know the details.

"I heard they dated or something when he first got to National City." Andrea told her.

She wasn't sure if Andrea was trying to start trouble but she couldn't think of anything else to say besides, "Oh."

They went back to small talk before Lena had to get back to her office for a meeting or at least that's what she told Andrea.

She didn't want to believe that Kara dated Will or that she never told her that she did. But then again this wasn't the first time Kara had kept something from her.

Kara was still in her room but she'd taken a break from work to look through her text messages with Lena again. She sighed reading the last one and thought about texting back when there was a knock at her door. She reluctantly opened it to find Will standing there. She left the door open and went back to the table where her laptop was. She went back to looking at her phone and this irritated Will.

"What's got you distracted now?" He asked, knowing it was more than likely Lena, "Are you still dwelling on the mistake you made?"

"I never said it was a mistake." Kara said to him.

"I'm just saying whatever it is that happened you feel bad about so obviously you think you did something wrong." He said trying to recover from his slip, "It's getting in the way of work because you're focusing more on that then what's happening for the story and I don't think it's very professional."

Kara glared at him, "For your information, I've been investigating the sheriff because I think he's involved somehow with the missing kids. So I've been here doing the work, what the hell have you been doing the last few hours?"

"Whoa, easy there tiger." He said hands up in surrender, "I was doing some leg work."

What Kara didn't know was that leg work meant he went to the gym to work out and he wasn't actually out working on the story.

"Why were you investigating the sheriff?"

Kara explained that she found out the sheriffs son overdosed about 8 months ago and the kids that went missing were more than likely drug addicts so she thinks there might be a connection.

"I think you're grasping at straws here." He said to her as he looked through some of her notes, "Let's get some food in you, maybe it will help you come to your senses."

"Actually, I think I'm good." She told him, "I'll grab something later."

"Suit yourself." He said with a shrug then left.

Kara lost herself in her work, going over dates and times and the information she could find about the sheriff and the missing kids. She found things that didn't add up and she wondered if she could talk to Deputy Monroe about a few things. She checked the time on her phone and didn't realize how late it actually had gotten. She had forgotten to eat as well.

Kara walked to the all night diner hoping to get a juicy cheeseburger with extra bacon and maybe a milkshake. She sat down in a booth and a waitress came to take her order. She was staring out the window when she spotted Lynsey walking by, she rushed from her booth and went outside to ask her to come in and talk.

"Did you want anything?" Kara asked as they sat down in the booth.

"No, thank you."

"Can you tell me more about Trevor?" Kara asked her.

"Like what?"

"Like what kind of person he was, what made you gravitate towards him?" She said, "What made him special to you?"

Kara ate and watched Lynsey smile the whole time she talked about Trevor. She listened as she told her about how he would make her paper birds out of gum wrappers or play and sing her favorite songs to her when he could see she was feeling down. They would talk for hours about nothing important but their talks always meant so much to her.

"He was just the best." Lynsey said to her, sadness in her eyes.

"I'm sure he was." Kara told her.

"The two that went missing after Trevor weren't the last ones to go missing." Lynsey told her.

"What do you mean?" Kara asked confused.

"I talked to some of the other homeless in town and apparently another teen boy went missing a few days before you and the other reporter got here." Lynsey told her.

"Wait, really?"

"Yeah, there was talk at one of the camps that he might have been from Nevada. I really only saw him a few times around town, but I heard he liked to stay near the old lumber mill."

Kara was making mental notes of all this so that she could talk to Deputy Monroe first thing in the morning.

"I promise you Lynsey, I'll get to the bottom of all of this." She told her.

"Thank you." Lynsey said as she got up and hugged Kara tight.

Kara went back to her hotel room, did some more research before going to bed.

In the morning she was armed with 2 cups of coffee as she walked into the police station and up to Deputy Monroe who was standing at the front counter.

"Good morning Deputy." She said as she held out one of the cups for her.

"What can I do for you Ms. Danvers?" Monroe asked taking the cup from her and placing it down on the counter.

"Well I'm hoping you can help me with a little bit of my research." Kara said, "I understand there was a teenager who went missing a few days before we arrived in town, I'm wondering if there was a report filed."

"I didn't take a report of anyone being reported missing in the last week." Monroe told her.

"Maybe the sheriff did?" Kara asked.

Deputy Monroe typed a few things into her computer and shook her head, "There's nothing here about a missing person beyond Lynsey Kemp's report and even then she didn't know his last name."

"But…"

"Look, I'm not sure where you are getting your information but there's nothing here."

"Don't you find that a little strange?" Kara asked, "3, possibly 4 kids have gone missing in your town and no one's doing anything about it."

"Ms. Danvers…"

"No, they were teenagers! One was a sweet kid who'd make paper birds for a girl he liked, someone is missing him." Kara said, "Someone is probably missing all of these kids and you guys aren't doing anything about it!"

Kara was getting angry now. Even if they were homeless or drug addicts there were still humans and no one seemed to care that they just up and disappeared, none except Lynsey that is.

Without another word Kara left the station and went straight to the hotel. She pounded on Will's door before he answered in nothing but his boxers. Gross.

"Get dressed we have some work to do." She turned and went to the car to wait for him.

Kara explained what was going on as Will drove them to the abandoned lumber mill near the edge of town that Lynsey mentioned.

"Are you sure we should be going there by ourselves?" Will asked as he drove.

"Obviously the sheriff doesn't care so it's up to us." Kara told him.

They didn't realize just how far out of town the lumber mill was but when they finally got there Will parked outside the locked gate and they got out of the car.

They managed to find a cut in the fence about 20 yards from the gate behind some bushes. They squeezed through and looked around, there was a massive building where they probably processed the wood and a few large stacks of abandoned unprocessed logs littered the yard itself.

"So what are we supposed to be looking for?" Will asked her as they started walking.

"Evidence of some kind." She told him.

They carefully searched the yard, and Kara would occasionally use her x-ray vision to see if there was anything buried but found nothing. They finally met up near the gate, "I don't think we're going to find anything Kara." Will said to her.

Kara didn't want to give up just yet, "Maybe there's something in the building itself."

They were just about to head towards the building when Kara's cellphone rang. "Hello?" She whispered, though she didn't know why.

"Ms. Danvers, this is Deputy Monroe."

"Yes?"

"I didn't take any reports about any other missing kids, besides the report about Trevor and that was only because the sheriff wasn't in the office that day. If there were other kids that were reported missing then the sheriff must have been there to take the reports but there are no records of it and I don't understand why."

"Look, Deputy Monroe, I'm kind of in the middle of something." Kara said to her.

"I'm calling because when I went into the sheriff's office to see if maybe he kept any reports on his desk I spotted something on the floor by his chair. When I saw it I remembered what you said about Trevor." She told her.

"I don't understand." Kara said, "What did you find that made you think of Trevor?"

"A paper bird."

Kara's eyes widened.

"So I started searching his desk and one of the drawers was locked." Monroe explained, "I broke into it and I found a picture of a family, a teen and his parent, it's a family I don't recognize, and there was also a gold chain with a cross hanging from it."

"Deputy…." Kara stopped when she heard a faint yelp. She focused her hearing and heard whimpering coming from the building.

"Deputy, we are at the old lumber mill at the edge of town, I think the sheriff is here with a victim please hurry!"

"Come on." Kara said to Will.

"Kara…." He wanted to argue but she grabbed him by his arm and practically dragged him as she ran to the building.

They looked through a few windows before spotting the sheriff standing over a boy who was tied to a chair and had duct tape across his mouth.

Kara could hear his muffled pleading and she knew she had to do something, "I'm going to go around to the other side. Stay here and record with your phone. Don't move, don't make a sound."

"Kara, I really think we should wait for the police." He told her and she could see he was actually scared.

"It's going to be okay. Just keep low and do what I said." She told him then slowly crept away from him in a crouch till she was at the back of the building and out of his view.

The boy started to squirm and make more noise which seemed to piss the sheriff off because he backhanded him across his face and knocked him out.

She looked through the dusty window and saw the sheriff, his back to her as he held a shovel. She was almost sick to her stomach thinking he had a grave dug somewhere nearby.

She pulled down her glasses and used her laser beams to break a window in the far corner of the building. She moved quickly around the building as the sheriff went to investigate the noise with the shovel still in his hand. She made it to a side door near the teen but hesitated as the sheriff started walking back to him. If he got any closer he'd definitely spot Kara.

"HEY! HEY OVER HERE!"

The sheriff looked over at the sound and barely saw Will banging on the window and showing his phone.

"I recorded it all!" He yelled through the window.

The sheriff, furious charged towards the other side of the big building and when he busted through another side door Will took off running. Kara didn't have time to think all she could do was run inside, and untie the teen before throwing him over her shoulder and carrying him out of the building.

Kara could hear the sirens approaching, though they seemed to still be a little ways out. She carefully put the boy down behind a pile of lumber outside then used her super hearing to find out where Will and the sheriff were. All she heard was moaning so she took off to that spot and found the sheriff laying on the ground, out cold and Will bleeding from a head wound standing over him with a shovel.

Paramedics, county police and Deputy Monroe all arrived on scene as Kara was helping the teen, who was now awake; walk over to the front gate.

One EMT took the teen while another checked on the sheriff, confirming he was still alive before checking on Will.

Deputy Monroe stood watch over the still unconscious sheriff while she watched the video on Will's phone. When she finished watching it, she kicked the sheriff as hard as she could in his side, "Piece of shit!" She yelled at him then called for one of the county cops to cuff him and haul him to the ambulance.

"You're lucky to be alive." Kara said to Will who was getting his wound dressed.

"I didn't think you cared." He said to her.

"I mean, I can't have you dying on a work trip with me." She said, "It's a lot of paperwork."

He smiled at her joke and she smiled back before going to talk to Deputy Monroe.

"I worked with him for 8 years and never suspected he could do something like this." Monroe told Kara.

"I'm sorry." She said, "I really am."

"It's up to the county police now." Monroe told Kara as she turned to see them already scouring the grounds for other possible graves. She turned back to Kara, "Hopefully those kids will get justice now, thanks to you, your partner and Lynsey Kemp."

Kara and Will spent the next few hours being interviewed by the police before they were released to go back to their hotel. Kara dropped Will off at the hotel then drove to the Kemp residence.

She sat with Lynsey as she cried over Trevor and the other missing teens. "I loved him and he was my best friend and I don't know if I ever told him that." Lynsey said, "You just never think you need to say it, like they'll just know how much you love them."

Lynsey looked at Kara with tears in her eyes, "Why didn't I tell him, what was I so scared of?"

Kara hugged Lynsey tight as she cried and all she could do was think of Lena.

Before leaving Kara told Lynsey that if she hadn't come forward about Trevor they probably never would have found out the truth. Lynsey thanked her for all her help then gave her another hug before she left.

Back at the hotel, Kara checked in on Will then emailed Andrea to let her know some of the details of their story. She also told her that they would probably be home late tomorrow morning.

When she hung up she opened her texts to Lena and sent one off, "I'll be home soon."
