As Lionel stared in shock at the sight before him, Lex and Chloe struggled to see who was at the door from their beds.
Into the room strolled Lucas Luthor followed by a very scared looking brunette, who resembled Helen a bit.
Lucas pointed to the empty chair and told her to sit. He looked at Lex and Chloe and said, "Hey Lex, Chloe glad you are awake." Lionel just looked at him and asked, "Lucas just what are you doing here and who is this insipid young woman you have with you."
The girl in the chair looked like she was trying to hide within herself. Lucas smiled at her and said, " This is Heather Bryce, Helen's younger sister."
Before Lucas could finish what he was trying to say the room erupted.
"How could you bring her in here?"
"She could tell her sister where to find us?"
As the room reached a thunderous volume, Chloe's voice could be heard above all of the rest, "That's enough, I have a horrible headache, and you are not helping. Come on now Lucas is not stupid he must have brought her here for a reason, and can't you see you are scaring her to death."
After Chloe's outburst Lex and Lionel both just stared at Heather. Lionel was the first to speak in a more calm manner and said, "Lucas care to explain what you are doing?"
Lucas smiled at Chloe and said, "Thanks. Well father, I was working at the Luthor Corp. building in Metropolis when this little one burst into my office with security right behind her. By the time I got security to go, she told me her story. Helen has custody of her because her parents are dead and she came into the house, after she found out that Lex was still alive and said that she was going to get the little bitch responsible for this, after Helen left to go do what she was going to do, Heather snuck out of the house and came to my office to warn me. I was too late to get the message to you before Chloe's accident but now that her sister knows that she told us, she needs protection as well. I couldn't just let her go."
Lionel got right in Heather's face and said, "If what my son says is true I will protect you but if you are here to hurt my family you will pay."
Heather looked him in the eye and said, "I may only be 16 but I am not stupid enough to cross a Luthor, especially you. My sister is twisted and I don't want to see anyone else get hurt. Please believe me."
Lionel looked at her for another moment and nodded, "Very well, let's see about setting you and Lucas up at the manor, and let Chloe and Lex get some rest."
With that they left the room.
Chloe laid back in bed and looked exhausted and scared. Lex leaned over and took her hand and said, "Whatever happens from here on out, you have my word that you will be safe."
"I know that, I just don't want to have to run forever from some sicko."
"You won't have to we will catch her and my father will deal with her accordingly, like it or not you have just become part of the Luthor family."
Lex and Chloe just lay there holding hands when a soft knock was heard on the door. Lana and Gabe walked into the room carrying a small bag and some flowers.
Gabe went over to Chloe's bed and grabbed her hand. "Sweetheart, are you felling okay?"
Chloe looked up with sleepy eyes and smiled, "Well I feel like I have been hit by a car, oh wait, that really happened."
Gabe smiled, "You must be feeling better, you snark is back full force. Martha and Jonathan sent you some flowers, and Lana brought you some clothes from home so you can change out of the hospital gown."
Chloe smiled at her Lana, the girl whom she now considered a sister, "Thanks, do you mind helping me change?"
Lana just shook her head at Chloe and helped her out of bed. After they had walked into the bathroom, Gabe went over to Lex's bed and asked, "Has there been any word?"
Lex looked at the man whom he counted as a friend and not just an employee, "Well my father has men on it, examining her car, and Helen's sister came to Lucas to warn him it was just too late. My father just left to take them to the mansion for protection, and he will be back in the morning to check us out."
Gabe nodded, "Good, I know Chloe will be safer with you but I do worry about leaving Lana alone in the house so much, do you think your father would mind one more houseguest?"
Lex laughed, "I doubt it what's one more added to four already. I'll also have him place a protection detail at the Talon and on Pete Ross as well."
Chloe and Lana came out of the bathroom with Chloe looking a lot more comfortable in her own clothes. Gabe looked at Lana and said, "We should get going, Chloe I will see you in the morning when I drop Lana off. Lana you will be staying at the manor with Chloe until this all gets worked out."
Lana just nodded and hugged Chloe. Gabe kissed her forehead and said, "Sweet Dreams, pumpkin." Chloe nodded sleepily and they left. After they left Lex reached over for Chloe's hand and assuring himself that the sleeping girl was still there drifted off to sleep himself.
