Chater 1: Starting an Investigation

One Week Earilier

Darkness falls over the city of Metropolis as the last fellow employee left the Daily Planet. Everyone except for Chloe Sullivan. As one of the five interns working at the Planet, they had to do all the dirty work. Dirty works such as cleaning out the filing clabinets in the back. Chloe was all alone looking through the old files just to entertain herself.

"Great Chloe, you should of left when you had the chance," she said stuffing a box with another folder.

She went to another clabinet and pulled out a file when one of the folders fell on the floor. Looking down she notice the folder and picked it up. It had Winchester, Mary on it. Walking back to the boxes, she stuff the other folder in the box and looked at the other folder in her hands. Should I look through it or just stuff it in the box she thought to herself.

"They never told us not to read the files," she smiled.

With her curiousity getting the best of her, she open the file. In it was a newsclipping and a internet print out about a fire that happened in eight-three. The picture in the newspaper showed a woman with blonde hair wearing a white sweater, smiling. Chloe went to reading the newsclipping:

A tradegy hit one of our local city, Lawrence, Kansas yesterday killing young twenty-five year old Mary Winchester. At three o'clock in the morning, neighbors ran out of their home to see the house engulp in flames as local polices and firefighters drove up to the scene. The husband of the woman and her two sons were standing outside of their home watching in horror as their loving, home be destroyed. Polices are investigating the situation further for more clues on why the house went up in flames and only the wife died.

Chloe put the newclipping back in the folder and picked up the online article about the same fire and the family. Along with the same picture of the woman in the newsclipping, there was a picture of a man and the woman. They were standing behind a young boy with blonde hair and a small baby in the woman's arm. Chloe went down to read the article.

It's been a month since the fire that struct the small town of Lawrence, Kansas. Polices are still looking into the case but can't find anything involving a murder or accidental causes. The polices questined Mr. Winchester about the fire but he isn't saying anything. Shortly after the fire, John Winchester, Dean, 4, and Sam, fourteen weeks old, Winchester were take to the hospital for check ups and soon release. They stayed with George Wallis, a friend of the family, for a while before they disappeared. The polices suspect that John had something to do with the fire, but with no evidents, there was no way they could arrest John for the death of his wife, Mary.

"Poor guy," she said scanning the article some more. She stopped when something caught her eyes. She read it further until it got to the part that caught her attention the most.

Polices think that John Winchester is going to be a danger to himself and his two sons if they can't find him. We interviewed John's Psychologist, Walter Brooks, and he had some insights on John's condition. "John couldn't deal with his wife death," Walter started. "With him feeling guilty and hurt that his wife died, he let himself think that there was a cause for her death. When I was speaking to Mr. Winchester about what happened, he would keep repeating the same logic reason for the death of his wife. First it start off, normal, just like any other story, but when it got to the point where he find his wife, everything go down hill from there. He told me that when he ran up to his son, Sam's room after hearing a scream, he was scared that something had happened to his wife. But when he got there, there was nothing. Just his little boy in his crab looking at him. When he reached out to touch his son, blood dripped on his hand and he looked up. There on the ceiling was his wife with a blood soak nightgown around her stomach area. Shortly after seeing his wife on the ceiling, flame surrounded her which cause the house to be enlope in flames. He had to get his sons out of the house, he said. He told his oldest son, Dean, to go take his brother outside while he tried to see can he get his wife, Mary out but couldn't. He ran outside and grabbed his two sons and watched as the fire destroyed their home. While trying to reason with John, he started to act in a irrated behavior and yelling. saying that he got to go look for the thing that killed his wife. The police shortly contact me about John disappearing along with his two sons. Now, with this situation, John could become a danger. Anything could set him off. If we don't find him then he might put his sons in danger, killing them and hiself." Police are putting out a Missing Person on John Winchester and his two sons. Police suspect that John might of left town, in search of the thing that killed his wife. Police suggested that if you should come in contact with him, do not approach him. Call the polices and let them handle it.

Chloe put the article down back in the folder and closed it. Her thoughts were on the case itself. I mean of course it sound like any other news but this was different. Something about it seem weird. What was the thing that John was talking about that killed Mary. Chloe looked at the date again and sighed. "Twenty-two years ago." If for that long, that would mean that the sons were older now, but where could they be. Maybe they were dead. Chloe jiggled the folder and opened it up to see if there was something else that mention their death or anything else, but nothing. She closed it up again and sighed. Did the police give up the search or did they labeled it Cold Case and left it alone. Chloe had to find out more about them. She looked around the room to make sure no one was looking and snuck the folder in her big brown leather purse. She closed her purse and walked out of the back room. She ran out the Planet and to her car. She got in and started her car.

"I think it's time I did a little investigation on my own."
