Chapter 13
"So your friends in trouble?" the auburn haired girl called Liz asked her.
"Yeah, although I have no idea what's going on. I guess your friends went to help him," Chloe replied. "Why are you here though, you still haven't told me?"
Brody looked at the others and they nodded. "Well, we detected a signal to outer space that came from this town about 3 weeks ago. Max came here to look for the source. But then I found something else. Someone else had picked up the signal too. I guess we were just worried that Max might get caught up in something."
"So you guy's are alien chasers or something?" Chloe asked.
Brody nodded. The others shared a look.
"Well I'm sorry to disappoint you but the signal was a fake. It was just a delusional kid who thought he was an alien," she informed them.
"But if that's true then why didn't Max just come back? Why are they still here," asked Maria. "And why is this 'Mr White' after your friend."
Chloe glanced at her. "You don't think Clark's an alien do you? Cause that's just crazy."
"Well no, but it is a bit weird," she replied. Yet again there was a look between the other three.
"Look, all I know is that we have I have to help my friend. I'm going to go and check at his house. You can come with me if you want. You may find your friends there anyway," Chloe said, rising to her feet.
"We'll come," Liz told her, determination shining in her face.

"Hello?" Max called out in the barn. The three of them glanced nervously around the room. It was silent, too silent.
Suddenly a groan came from behind a pillar in the far corner. They ran in the direction of the sound and found Clark lying on the floor unconscious.
"Clark, Clark wake up," Max said desperately. He stirred.
"The box," he grumbled. "Close the box."
Isabel spotted the lead box lying next to Clark. It had a glowing green stone inside that seemed alive. She slammed it shut and Clark tried to get to his feet.
His strength was already returning but he was still a little shaken. Max and Michael helped him walk, but as soon as they turned around they found that the barn door was locked.
"Now honestly," said a voice from behind them, "You didn't expect it to be that easy did you?"
