- Part 4 -
Cade starred hard into at Mr. Petrie for a moment, before the man was thrown to the floor.
He then turned to his men, who were watching with a mix of fear, annoyance and anger.
"Hale, you go and secure the front doors, barracade them, then start covering the windows. I don't want anyone to be able to see in here. And take the old man with you, get him to help and if he tries anything…kill him."
Hale nodded his ascent, went over to Mr. Watts, pulled him to his feet and then lead him out of the room with the nuzzle of the gun at his back.
Cade then turned to the man who had been fiddling with the vault.
"Raff, leave that for the moment, go and secure the back door. The cops will probably try to open it."
Raff nodded also and then scurried out of the room.
Cade's gaze then slithered across the room and came to rest on Chloe.
Chloe's chin lifted defiantly and she met his gaze; she'd be damned if she gave him the satisfaction of seeing her cower in fear.
Cade smirked at the rebellious move and he slowly made his way over to his fox.
The minute Clark saw Cade take a step in Chloe's direction he jumped to his feet and stood in front of her. He wasn't about to let this sick creep do anything to Chloe.
He would die first.
Cade's eyes narrowed dangerously as Clark took a protective stance before his fox.
The boy was starting to get on his nerves.
Cade quickened his step until he was face to face with Clark.
"I suggest that you remove yourself from my path, boy, or I will be forced to kill that sweet little girl over there." With that Cade turned, pulled out his gun and aimed it at Mrs. Evans daughter.
Mrs. Evans screamed and covered her daughter, but before Cade could utter another threat, Chloe spoke.
"Leave her alone, Cade."
Both Cade and Clark turned to her, Cade wore a self-satisfied smirk and Clark's expression was pained and terrified. Chloe was fairly certain that she had never seen that look on his face before.
Then she figured out why…he was afraid for her.
Chloe would have analysed that revelation further, but the sound of a gun's safety being released brought her attention back to the present.
Chloe started to push past Clark, but was stopped by a hand on her arm.
"Chloe..no…you ca…"
Chloe was the one to rest a finger on Clark's lips this time, but Clark was too frightened and geared for a fight to really think about it.
"Clark, it's ok. I'll be alright. You have to let me go now, Clark."
Clark shook his head vehemently, he didn't know why, but he was terrified of letting her out of his reach.
Chloe lifted herself onto her toes and placed a soft kiss on Clark's forehead, before smiling sadly up at him.
She met his gaze, pleading him to let her go as he pleaded with her not to.
After a moment, Chloe lowered her gaze and walked past Clark to Cade.
The smirk hadn't left the man's face and in fact, it even seemed to grow as Chloe drew closer, or so she thought. It was the most sickening thing she had ever witnessed.
When she reached his side Cade lowered his arm.
Chloe released a breath she hadn't known she was holding, but Cade heard her and the gleam returned to his eyes.
"A wise choice, fox. I knew that you were the brains of the operation. That's why I want you by my side, so I can watch you. Plus, I don't trust your boy over there. He looks foolish, like the big man who likes to play hero. This way, he won't dare make a move. Will you, boy?"
The last part was directed at Clark, who was still standing, and he narrowed his gaze.
Chloe remained silent, not wanting to antagonize Cade further at the moment. She truly hadn't known whether he would refrain from killing Kylie or not.
Cade and Clark's gaze's locked intensely, and the two fought for dominance for a number of moments before Cade let out a short snort, grabbed Chloe roughly by her upper left arm and pulled her towards the vault.
Cade walked up to Bruse and nodded in Clarks direction as he stated, "Watch him."
Bruse nodded.
Just as Cade was about to drag Chloe out of the room he stopped and cocked his head to the side, as if listening to something.
A moment later, the sound of sirens filtered through the walls.
Cade then turned to Chloe and leaned in close to her, until she could feel his breath against her neck. "I think that it is time to welcome some more guests, Fox."
With that, Cade linked arms with Chloe and pulled her out of the room.
As he did, Chloe caught Clark's gaze, their eyes locked and held until, with a sharp tug, she was gone.
