Chapter 3: Finding Something New
Chloe was sitting on her bed in her dorm with her laptop. She was looking up information on the Winchester boys. The folder was laying down on her bed and the newsclipping and article beside it. She typed in the fire in Lawrence, Kansas and it brought up the newsclip and article that she already has. She tried putting something else in and still the articles were brought up. She let out a frustrating sigh. Thinking about the subject a little more, it finally snap.
"Why didn't you think about it before Chloe," she said to herself.
Chloe typed in John Winchester and it brought up an article about a brave marine man who served his time and now is retired. He was a good soldier and servered his country well.
"How does a solider with John's background turn out to become a mad man," Chloe thought out loud.
The article showed John in his uniform and he was smiling. She studied his face and begin to sympathized for Mr. Winchester. He looked so happy and sane. Poor guy never thought this could happen to him. She exited out of the internet and shut down her laptop.
"All this thinking is seriously stressing me out."
She got up from her bed and put the papers back in the folder and stuff it back in her leather purse. She also put her laptop in its case and headed out the door. She went down the stairs and outside to her car and put her stuff in the car before sitting down and starting the car up. Chloe put on some music and sat in silence as her thoughts ran on the Winchesters. About time she was through thinking about them, she made it all the way to Smallivillie and to the Talon. After parking her car and grabbing her things, she walks in. The Talon wasn't full, only a few people were inside and Chloe just love being in here when not a lot of people are around. She can think better that way. She walked over to the counter where she spots Mrs. Kent and Lana standing there.
"Hi, a double expresso latte, please on the double," Chloe said leaning her head on the counter.
"Chloe this isn't like you what wrong," asked Mrs. Kent.
"Yeah neither is the double expresso," said Lana smiling.
"I know but I been up all night yesterday taking out files and putting up files and it was boring and uncall for. You think I should sue for intern's labor," she said lifting her head.
"I don't think so," Lana laughed. " But here, a double foam expresso on the house."
"Thanks Lana." Chloe took it and took a sip from it.
"So Mrs. Kent, how's things going back at the farm?"
"Oh it's going good, concerning the two grown men living in the house."
"Ah, going bad I see."
"Yeah. How's you, how are things going back at school since I already know how it's going at the Daily Planet?"
"Well, school is fine it's just my roommate whose getting me a hard time. She won't stop complainting about my interest in the unexplain and meteor freaks."
"Oh."
Mrs. Kent smiled before leaving to go in the back for something. Chloe waited until she was out of hearing site and turned to face Lana, who was cleaning off the counter and straining up the front area.
"Lana you wouldn't believe what I found digging in the old files back at the Planet."
"What is it."
Chloe reached down in her bag and pulled out the folder. She placed it on the counter and slide it over to Lana. Lana looked it over before she opened it.
"It's about this family who house burnt down but only the wife, Mary Winchester died," Chloe explained.
"Chloe, how did you get this. Won't this be called stealing."
"Lana, who at the Planet is going to miss one small file. Besides, it was going in the trash anyway."
Lana continued to read the two article and put it down once she was done reading it. She looked at Chloe, who was waiting for her to speak.
"Well."
"I don't know what you want me to say, Chloe. I mean it sound like a accident to me and a man going mad."
"I know did you read what the doctor was saying about John's story on what happened," Chloe said opening up the folder and taking out the one with the doctor talking about John. She pointed at the spot that said the thing killed his wife and looked up at Lana.
"I know what the doctor said Chloe but it's not like it's one of your Meteor freaks situation here. It looks to me like a man who went crazy after his wife died. I'm sorry."
"I know but something about it seems...I don't know. There just something there. My journalist's instinct say to investigate more on the topic and see what you can find. Even if it doesn't turn out to be Meteor Freak, I still want to know what happen to the two sons and the father."
Lana nod in understanding. Mrs. Kent came back from the back and looked down at the article on the counter. She picked it up and read over it.
"I remember this. They had this in the news for about a month until the meteor came and hit here. That poor family. I remember they talking about the husband and saying he's dangerous and...," she stop herself by putting her hand to her mouth. "I forgot all about it once the meteors hit. Why do you have this."
"I thought that maybe...I don't know," Chloe said putting her head down again.
Mrs. Kent smiled at Chloe before she went off again. Lana put the article back in the folder and looked at Chloe. She smiled and round her eyes.
"If you really want to do this, I guess I'll..."
"Oh thanks you thank you, Lana," Chloe said snapping her head up once again.
"Don't get to excited, once we find something you're on your own. Now what do you have so far."
"Nothing," Chloe said throwing her hands up. "Everything I looked up was about the fire or about how they never caught John. It's like they actually disappeared."
"Well, what about the sons. They have to grown ups about now. I mean it been twenty-two years now."
Chloe eyes grew big after what Lana had said. How could she not think about that sooner. She was so caught up with John that she wasn't thinking about the boys. At least she was thinking about them, but only as their younger, innocent selves. Chloe went over to a table and got out her laptop. She open it up and boot it up. Once it was done booting up, she click on the internet icon and went to her usual link for information. She typed in Dean Winchester and it brought up at sort of thing with the name Dean Winchester. With no help there, she type in his name again and then school data. It brought out four different places with the same name. She click on one and it was saying a Dean Winchester went to Lawrence elementary, middle, and high school, but never any college.
"Well, I know I'm on the right track."
She click off of the link and type in Sam Winchester and school data and brought up a few places with the same name. Clicking on one link, with her luck, it was the one she was looking for. A Sam Winchester studying Pre-Law at Stanford University. A smile grew on her face.
"I can't believe it was that easy," she said shutting down her laptop.
"Did you find anything," asked Lana.
"Yeah. It's not much but it's a start," Chloe said walking out of the Talon.
"Wait Chloe, where are you going," asked Lana stepping out of the cafe.
"I'm going on a little road trip," she smiled and went into her car.
