The sound of the police sirens grew louder and louder as Cade pulled Chloe further into the main room of the Smallville Savings and Loans.
The flashing police lights could be seen through the sheets of paper now taped to the building's front windows.
Hale and Mr. Watts had worked hard at getting the windows blocked quickly and they looked to be about nearly finished.
Raff entered the room briefly before hurrying back in the direction of the vault.
Cade dragged Chloe over to one of the desks on the left side of the room, pulled out the rolling chair and ordered her to sit on it.
Once she was seated, Cade undid the buckle on his belt.
Cold, hard fear…followed closely by revulsion shot through Chloe. * He isn't…not…no…. this isn't happening… *
Cade saw the look in her eyes and smiled maliciously down at her, "You are a foxy one, aren't you? You'll have to wait until later, though. We've got to welcome our new arrivals outside remember?"
Chloe almost sighed out loud, but held herself in check, and instead retorted, "How could I forget? You did such a bang up job last time."
Cade grinned and crouched down in front of Chloe as he held his belt taut out in front of him. "I'm glad I made such an impression on you, fox."
Then he leant forward and pressed the worn leather into her chest.
Chloe's jaw tightened and she glared at the man before her.
Cade only smiled and leaned farther in, until he was face to face with her.
Chloe turned her head to the side in disgust as Cade slid the belt into the buckle and gave it a tight yank.
Chloe jumped in surprise, but kept her head sideways.
When he was finished Cade remained where he was and spoke quietly again, "I wonder if I should try that kiss now…what do you think? It would be a lot easier now that wonder boy isn't around. Maybe I should just…kill him and get it over with."
Chloe whipped her head around to face Cade and glared daggers at the man.
"You wouldn't…you need him and the rest of us as hostages. If you start killing us off, the police are liable to just come in here with guns blazing."
Cade then reached over to the table beside him and grabbed a plastic tie for boxes then returned to Chloe.
Cade nodded in thought, "Yes…but what a way to go!"
Chloe decided that perhaps giving the psycho man with the gun ideas wasn't the best thing in the world to be doing at that moment.
"You're insane…don't you want to get out of here?"
Cade just gave her his maniacal grin and turned her chair around before grabbing her wrists and securing them in the tie, tugging on the ends harshly.
Chloe bit her lip to keep from crying out as the plastic bit into her skin.
Cade saw her wince and bent closer, "Did that hurt, foxy? I've been wanting to tie you up ever since I first saw you."
Chloe couldn't help the angry retort that burst force at that comment, "Right…cause that's the only way any woman would get within a hundred miles of you."
Cade shook his head, but continued smiling as he spoke, " Life is pain, fox. That is all that it is, pain…and death. That is all that we have to look forward to. Why not enjoy it?"
Disbelief was written plainly across Chloe's face as she replied, "You have GOT to be kidding me, first you hold me hostage and NOW you're spouting philosophy at me? This day just keeps getting better and better."
Cade seemed to loose it then and he slammed Chloe's chair back against the table behind her. He starred hard at her for a moment, and Chloe knew that one of the threads holding the man's sanity together had just snapped.
Cade pushed away from her suddenly, then strode over to Hale, grabbed some duct tape and a piece of wood that was lying on the table and turned back towards Chloe.
Chloe's eyes widen in fear as she saw Cade pick up the piece of wood…she knew exactly what was going to happen next and shook her head vehemently, "No…look, you want me to be quiet, then I'm quiet, ok? I...NO…NOO!!"
Mr. Watts, who had been watching the exchange, started to chase after Cade as he called out to him "Now, you just wait a minute there…I don't think that's necessary…just leave the girl alone would you!!!"
Cade whirled around toward MR. Watts and Chloe barely had time to shout out, "NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" , before Cade drew his gun and fired.
Mr. Watts' eyes went impossibly wide as the force of the blow cause him to stumble backwards. Blood started to seep through his white dress shirt, and Mr. Watts pressed his hand to the gaping wound, then, as if in a daze, brought it up and starred at his blood caked palm.
Chloe screamed as she watched the grocer's eyes roll back into his head, before he fell to the ground.
Cade turned back to Chloe as she continued to scream, marched over to her while ripping a piece of the tape and covered her mouth.
Tears streamed down over Chloe's cheeks as she starred in horror at the now lifeless body of Mr. Watts.
Cade smiled down at her, "there…that's better."
Chloe barely heard him; she barely made out screams and the sound of a fight coming from the back room.
Chloe heard only one thing: * this is my fault…this is my fault…this is my fault… *.
