Chp 18

"Yes, of course she's right here, no problem..... and I thought I was a bastard" and she heard the cell phone close. She cringed as he road his finger along her cheek "You really pissed him off" he said "And he want's some payback...I'd say sorry, but it wouldn't help considering I don't care" then completely unexpected he back handed her across the face "There's more to come, maybe brace yourself" he said laughing through his words. Clark woke to what he thought he heard Pacifica call his name, bolted out of bed and went to the Torch, if any one else could help it was Chloe. Chloe knew something was wrong, but didn't know how bad 'til Clark told her the whole story, she scolded him for not telling her sooner. He was hoping to find her sooner and finally gave in that he needed more help, Chloe did some poking around on her computer, checking out the latest news around the area seeing if there was another case familiar to Pacifica's. Clark was once again getting restless and got up to leave, "Oh my God how stupid of me" she yelled as she slapped herself upside the head, Clark froze in his tracks and questioned her. "I should have made the connection sooner" "What connection" Clark said wanting to know what was on her mind. "The father, he's the one" she started to ramble, at this Clark grabbed her at both shoulders "Chloe, Please tell me what your thinking"

It took the kidnapper completely off guard, and completely outnumbered a single tranquilizer shot at his neck put him out cold, a voice said "Were taking over now" Pacifica curled herself up, trying not to breath so loud hoping that she wasn't going to get hurt, coz she knew it wasn't any one there to help her, then she began to fall asleep, as the tranquilizer quickly took effect. He looked at her battered body, bruises on her face, rib cage area and legs, his heart ached for her but dare not show it, he stepped aside and let them work in peace, wasn't going to take any chances of anything going wrong. No one said a word and as little noise as possible was made, she was out cold, she wouldn't have known anything that was being done to her. It took hours, but they finished, she'd now be a new women. No scars would be left behind, no trace on the outside

Chloe explained to Clark how the father of the lost boy and Pacifica both had a strange blue mark from one of the old ride carts. "How did the father have the same mark as Pacifica?" she questioned and Clark looked at her blankly "He had to be there, he's the one that put his son there, how else would he get there he's way to young to climb up there himself" "But why would the father put his son there" Clark asked Chloe didn't have an answer, but she had a contact at the police station, where she in put a quick call. Told the soul on the other end what she came up with so far "Of course, that's why... and she screwed it up when she saved him... sure thanks"

"He was selling him...and Pacifica screwed up his plans by saving the child and he didn't get his money" Chloe told him what the officer said and that they were going to bring in the father to question him. "The father was properly so pissed off at what she did, he must have hired someone to..." he stopped talking and looked Chloe right in the eyes. "She's not dead Clark... the guy properly just wants to scare the crap out of her" she could see all these wild scary thoughts running through Clarks head, coz she started having some of her own. "I'm not taking that chance, revenge or not, I have to find her" he couldn't finish his sentence, kissed Chloe on the fore head and thanked her for all her help, she was the best. Clark went to Lex with this new information, hoping that if he gives it to his men, it may just help. Lex agreed that this extra bit of info would help, asked to be left alone so he could make new arrangements, Lex was soon on the phone, making some sort of arrangements alright.
