Driver's License Chloe Sullivan Smallville, Kansas Expires: 09/09/07
"What the..." With that he pulled out his cell phone and call the first person that came to mind. 'Wait, I don't even have Whitney's number, guess its Clark then.'
Whitney sat at home doing his homework. After he had been sent home his mother had forbidden him from phone calls and going out. Which meant he couldn't call Chloe. An unrecognizable kind of rage had filled him when Dave had given that proposition to Chloe. 'Why did he react like that? Did he like Chloe? Well...' All the sudden, his door burst open and Lex Luthor and Clark Kent ran in.
"What the..." "No time to talk Whitney, Chloe's missing!" Clark's outburst had Whitney running out the door. Lex told him about the bag on the ground and that Clark had checked Chloe's house, called Lana at the Talon, and gone back to the school. But Chloe was no where to be seen.
"Dave." Clark and Lex stopped as Whitney started to pace.
"Dave? Jerk Dave?" "Yes Clark! Jerk Dave. Football player Dave!"
"Guys, Chloe's father beat Dave's dad out of a job at the plant. His father hasn't worked since...you don't think." Before he could continue they filed into Lex's car.
Chloe opened her eyes and saw black. 'My head...god what happened? Why can't I talk? I'm tied up. Just breathe Chloe.' Tears sprung to her eyes as she looked around the room. She was laying on the floor, blood dripped down her face from the open cut on her forehead. Her arms and legs were bound behind her and tape was covering her sore mouth.
"Well well well...look who's awake." Chloe started to cry as Dave walked up to her and picked her up. He pulled the tape off her mouth as he set her on the couch. "Everything's gonna be okay. Your dad will be taken care of, you'll be taken care of...and then everything will be like it's SUPPOSED TO BE!" He finished off with back-handing her and throwing her down to the ground.
"Dave, please stop..." She sobbed trying to scoot away from him. He kicked her in the side and she screamed.
"You want me to stop? Is that what you want?"
Clark slammed threw the front door of the Sanders' Residence. The three guys found Dave's passed out father in the recliner. Whitney ran upstairs and a few seconds later he came back down with desperation in his eyes. "She's not here." Lex ran over to Mr. Sanders and shook him awake.
"What do you wan? Who are ye?" The alcohol reeked off of his body in waves. "Where's your son? Where the hell is she?" Whitney shook the man several times before Clark halted him.
"Dave? I don't know where he is! I don't give a fuck either. He's prolly out in the barn causing trouble." The boys ran out, Lex getting on his cell phone to call the police (which he probably should have done a while ago anyway).
Whitney and Clark were the first to enter the barn. They looked everywhere and all they saw were rusty tools and an old truck. Clark sighed and bent down. He used his x-ray vision to look down and saw movement below them.
"Whitney, a basement! There's a basement." They looked for an entrance and found an old hatch next to the truck's left rear tire.
Chloe had no more tears. All she felt was pain and fear. Why her? Why did she always get these kind of guys? Even though she had been practically beaten to death and she would probably die, still one thing entered her mind. Whitney. God she wished he was there. Her chances with him had been blown. Yeah, she admitted it. She liked him. A lot. "Chloe." 'Oh God.' Dave grabbed her by the hair and pushed her face down to the ground.
"It won't hurt. I promise." He squeezed her hair and punched her in the side. She cried out and dropped to the floor. 'Here it comes.' Nothing. She slowly opened her eyes and turned over. Clark had Dave pinned up against the wall and Whitney was running to her. He put a hand on her cheek and kissed her forehead. "I'm here I'm here" As soon as he undid her wrists and ankles, he picked her up and set her on the couch.
"What did he do to you? Oh god. Chloe please don't leave me. I was so scared. I need you." Everything he said was quick and sudden and Chloe reached up and rubbed his cheek. "Whitney I won't leave you. I...I need you two." He leaned down and lightly kissed her forehead. With that he picked her up and helped her up the ladder as sirens pulled up to the barn.
Clark and Lex watched the chaos around them. Dave was hauled away. Lana, Pete, and Chloe's father had just arrived which had Clark and Lex explaining everything.
"Where are Chloe and Whitney?" Clark pointed with a smile to the ambulance as Whitney was picking Chloe up and setting her on the stretcher. They watched as they tried to push Whitney out, but he was adamant.
"Is everything okay?" Pete questioned. Lex smirked and Clark smiled.
"Um, yeah, you could say that. I think those two will be just fine from now on."
THE END!
Well, that's it. I finished it...in a very hurried way, which prolly sucked. But that's okay. Love ya'll!
