Then the lady looked me in the eyes for quite a while and finally spoke
"You have very bad news coming to you soon." She then walked off.
"I get bad news all the time but that was kinda creepy something really bad is going to happen to me" I said.
"I don't think so." Chloe said.
"I wonder if that dark haired man is Clark." I said. "Hopefully." She said.
We sat down. "Nothing new to investigate?" Lex asked Chloe. "Not this week." She said. "Ya know what was weird?"
Clark said. "What." I said. "When I was taking a shower after PE all the water shut off in all the showers. It came back in a few minutes with a slight reddish tint to it. I didn't think anything of it." Clark said. "I noticed that too but I wasn't in the shower with Clark I was getting a drink after running to see Pete."
Chloe said. "I remember I pointed out the reddish Color." Pete said. "That is weird." I said. "Taste any different?" I asked. "Like Copper." Chloe said. "Strange." I said. "I know." Lex said. The waitress approached us "Can I take your orders?" She asked.
Chloe and I said, "Yes I'll have salad with a side of French fries please."
Pete said "I'll have a hamburger fries and a vanilla milkshake." Lex answered, "I'll have Tacos and potato skins please."
"And I'll have a bowl of Clam Chowder and a salad please." Clark said.
"He's so skinny." I whispered.
"I know but he's so strong." Chloe said. The waitress rushed back to us
"You girls be careful they just found those three girls bodies in the high school water pipes." She said. I watched Chloe's face turn green.
She grabbed my hand and rushed with me to the bathroom. "Oh My God." Chloe muttered.
"Could reddish stuff in the water be blood?" Chloe asked. "Could be." I said.
Chloe didn't look so good. She quickly washed her face and said "Let's go see the guys."
"Hey Chlo I think Pete has a crush on you." I said as we walked to the table.
"Whatever Allison." Chloe said sitting at our booth.
"Chloe you feeling ok you look a little…." Clark's voice trailed off.
"Terrible? I know Clark. "She said. "Well No just a little pale." He finished.
"See Allison Clark seems to try and make everyone feel important. I think it's kinda weird." Pete said. I laughed. Clark smiled. The waitress brought our food. "Sorry for the extreme information before food Chloe." She said. "It's Ok Gina." Chloe said.
This is like The Ruby's that Ally and Nick go to all the time in Vegas everyone knows each other! I smiled. She smiled and said "I'm off to continue the rest of my shift, I'll stop by later." Gina said. "See ya." Chloe said. "Bye." I said. "Later." Gina said.
"I guess we're not going to school tomorrow." Pete said. "They found dead bodies in it of course we're not." Chloe said. "That's so nasty." Clark said. He is so cute! I wish we could go out! So Much!
I wonder how my friends Jon and Brice are doing maybe I'll give them both a call later. I miss them. Brice is around thirty two. Jon is in his early forties. My friend Daniel who's thirty-three just had his daughter a few years ago. I'd like to talk to her. She'd be seven now.
I call him and his wife in a while after everyone leaves. "What ya thinking about Allison?" Clark asked. "Just some people I know in New York and California." I said. "Feel like sharing?" Chloe asked. "About what?" I said. "What you're thinking about them." Chloe said.
"Well my friend Daniel has a daughter I haven't spoken to in years. My friend Brice is thirty two and single and I miss him so much!
My friend Jon just got a divorce and he's pretty unhappy right now."
I said. "Jo's friend John?" Chloe asked. "No a different one." I said. "Oh." Lex said. "He's a real nice guy though." I said. "That's cool." I said.
I watched Clark put a spoonful of soup in his mouth. How cute is he? I thought. We soon finished eating. I was about to get up and pay when Clark pulled out his wallet and put 60$ and put it in the check and set it on the table.
"Clark You didn't have to do that." I said. "I wanted to." He said. "Clark ya gotta be good with your money. It's not always there. Don't go blow it on some lunch your girlfriend said she'd pay for." Pete said.
"She's not my girlfriend." Clark said.
I glared at Chloe as if to say, "Don't say a word!" Clark looked at his feet. We now walked to the parking lot.
We got in Lex's big luscious limo. "Who's going where?" Lex asked. "I'm going home. I'm so tired." Chloe said. "I Have no help my dad so I'm going home too." Pete said.
"Ok I've got to go to Metropolis. Where you two heading?" Lex asked. "Well Clark wanna come over?" I said. "Sure." He replied. He shifted in his seat. "So Lex I guess were going to my house."
I said. He dropped Pete off he didn't even say Goodbye! Oh Well. I like Clark a lot!
"So Chloe what's up with you?" Lex asked. "Nothing much really." Chloe began. "Cool." Lex said. "I'd really like to check out the crime scene." Chloe said
. "You couldn't possibly be serious Chloe it's a job for professionals." Clark said. Lex, Chloe and I laughed.
"It's amazing how much you worry about me Clark." Chloe said. He smiled and said, "How can I not?" She smiled. We arrived t her house.
"Bye guys." She said. "Bye Chloe." I said. "Bye Clark." She said. "Bye Chloe." Clark said. "Bye Allison." Chloe said. "Bye Chloe said." Lex said. "Bye Allison Night Lex." Chloe said and hopped out.
We got to my house. Lex opened the door for us by pressing a button. "See Ya Lex." I said. "Bye Lex." Clark said. "Night guys!" Lex said. We arrived at my house. We walked the dirt path to the door. I walked in with Clark and grabbed my phone to check my voice mail.
I heard Jon's voice crying as he said, "Allison call me back soon." on the machine. I freaked! "It's Jon." I said. "What's wrong?" Clark asked.
"I don't know." I said. "Call him back!" Clark said. I hit speakerphone and I dialed him number. He answered still sobbing "Jon?" I said.
It was breaking my heart to see him cry. He never cried he was an FBI agent for god sakes. "Luke is dead." He said and started to sob harder.
"Talk to me." I managed to say with out crying. "Luke, My son is dead. He went missing three days ago. We found him raped and shot to death a block from our house in a field. " Jon said.
"I'm sorry." Clark and I said. "Who was that?" Jon spat out. "I'm Clark Kent." Clark said. "He's my friend." I said. "I'm so sorry Jon." I said. "My son darn it my only son! Why Luke? I loved him." Jon said.
Jon was getting mad. "Jon Where's Barb?" I asked. "Right here." He said and handed the phone to his wife. "Hi Allison." She said. I noticed she was crying too. "Barbara I'm so sorry about Luke." I said.
"Thank you I'm glad to know you care. Jon's a mess. He was hysterical when we found him. It didn't sink in right away for me." She said. "It breaks my heart to see you all in so much pain!" I said.
"I've gotta go." She said. "Bye Barb call me if you need anything at all." I said and hung up. I felt like I could cry. They were 2,000 miles away! I want to be there. "Want me to leave?" Clark asked. "No." I said simply.
I took his hand and lead him upstairs. "Where we going?" He asked. We walked into the guestroom. I got up on the bed.
He sat next to me and said "Allison Talk to me!" "Luke was only seven!" I said. "Allison I'm so sorry." He said. He kicked his shoes and laid down next to me. I wasn't crying. I hadn't cried in years.
I wanted him to kiss me in a non-sexual way more then anything right now. He wrapped his arms around me and hugged me close. Out of the blue I said, "Let's go to school." I got up ripped my jacket off the hanger in the closet. " "Lets bring Chloe."
I said grabbing for my purse. "Hey Allison it could be dangerous." He said. Aww He cares about me! "I don't care Clark." I snapped. He looked hurt. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to go off on you." I said embarrassed.
"It's Ok." he said. He blushes easily. He probably cries easily. Can't say the same thing for Whitney. While I was hustling to get my shoes back on I tossed my phone to Clark. "Call Chloe." I said. He dialed her number and said "I'll met you out front in 10." and hung up. "Why this sudden urge to go to the crime scene?" Clark asked.
"I'm in a bad mood." I shot back. "Ok." he said. I grabbed my lipstick and put it on. "You look beautiful." He said. I blushed.
Not sexual kisses don't suddenly sound so good. I put my blue mascara and eye shadow on quickly. "You look so…" His voice trailed off. "Ugly? I've always been terrible with make-up." I said.
"Cute, Pretty, adorable or attractive was kinda what I was going for." He said.
I blushed again now I could feel it. He blushed too. He's so sweet. I ran past him and downstairs. He ran after me and put my hand is his. "What kinda of car do you have?" He asked. "A silver Porsche." I said. I watched his eyes go wide and I said "C'mon." I pulled open the passengers door and Clark got in. I got in the other side. We drove off to Chloe's house. We drove in silence. We arrived at Chloe's house about 10 minutes later. She was sitting by her mailbox with her camera. "C'mon." I said as I pulled up. "Allison is this yours?" Chloe asked.
"Yeah it is." I said. She came over to the other side and got in. "Where we going?" Chloe asked. "School. My friend Seven-year-old son just got found murdered. These girls just did too. I said. "I'm so sorry." Chloe said. "Where's school from here?" I asked. "Go north till the 3rd stop sign then turn right." Chloe said. "Thanks Chick." I said. We pulled up.
There was caution tape everywhere. We ducked under it. We walked in and saw a hallway and Lockers. I saw the words "Die Pansy, Sprawled on a locker. I gestured towards it.
"On Gay guy in Smallville Robin Collins. Guys rag on him all the time." Clark said.
"I hope there's no evidence in this locker." I said as I opened my purse, walked over to it, grabbed the nail polish I thought matched the locker the most and I smashed it right into the writing.
"C'mon Chloe you can tick off the gay bashers later. Let's go see the crime scene." Chloe said. "Ok." I said. "He's really a nice guy." Clark said, "Who?" I asked stupidly. "Robin." He said. "Yeah." Chloe said. We arrived at the actual crime scene a few minutes later.
I quickly spotted a piece of paper face up on the ground. I read it out loud ". 38 caliber $112.00 2 rounds of ammunition $40.00 from Ernie's ammunition." I read. "Oh My god!" Chloe said.
"What?" I asked. "That could be evidence!" She said. "True." I said. Chloe grabbed my cell and called the police to come over here ASAP. They agreed.
"I want to meet Robin." I said. "You just totally defaced his locker." Chloe said. "I fixed it!" I said and we laughed. It's finally Saturday.
"Hey Clark can we go out tonight instead of Tuesday?" I said. "Sure." Clark said.
I watched Chloe's face fall. I mouthed the words "Sorry Chloe."
"Are you guys going on a date?" She asked. We both shrugged. "You going to kiss her good night?" Chloe asked. I blushed. Soon after so did he.
I could tell she was jealous. "I don't know Chloe." He said, walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her. I really didn't care that he did that. It's sweet. "Are you guys." My voice trailed off. "Going out?" Clark asked. I nodded.
"I get bad news all the time but that was kinda creepy something really bad is going to happen to me" I said.
"I don't think so." Chloe said.
"I wonder if that dark haired man is Clark." I said. "Hopefully." She said.
