Chapter 15: You Can Trust Me

Chloe woke up to the sun shining in her room. Her eyes slowly lifted as she stretched to wake up. She looked around and saw her bag on the floor and remembered yesterday. She pouted. Fully getting out of bed, Chloe ran into the bathroom to get ready for the day. Her hair was combed straight down to her shoulders and the ban combed to one side. She put on long sleeves burgony shirt with black outlining the hems of the shirt, and blue jean pants. She slipped on a black leather jacket and black boots and walked out to her car. She looked at the door, she once broke into and sighed. Grabbing the keys tightly in her hand, she got into her car and drove off into the town.

Sam was putting on his shoes, carefully trying not to wake his brother. Dean laid motionless on the bed with his back turned away from Sam and the sheets half way off of him. Sam stood up and walked a little closer to him. He bent over him and studyed him for awhile. His brother was knock out. His eyes moved rapidly and his breathing was slow and even. Sam backed away and grabbed the keys to the car. He stepped outside and stretched a little to warm himself up. His brown jacket was doing nothing in protecting him from the cold breeze blowing toward him. He rubbed his hand and got into the car. The car was cold and Sam begin to shiver from it. He turned on the car and sat for awhile before heading down town.

Chloe sat in the same booth she sat in before in the cafe drinking her coffee. She slowly sipped from the cup to get her body warm and to fully wake herself up. Her eyes were on the newspaper, reading the headlines and admiring the talented writers' work and smiled. Her smiled soon disappeared when she saw who walked into the door. Sam walked up to the counter and waited for someone to take his order. Chloe slightly hid behind the newspaper to see him and not be seen. Her stomach jumped when he turned around after he order his coffees. Chloe was fully behind the newspaper. I hope he didn't see me, Chloe thought. She looked down from the paper and saw two pair of sneakers pointing in her direction. She cursed under her breath.

"Are you still following us," a voice said behind the paper.

Chloe lowered the paper and saw Sam behind it. She let out a long sigh before looking up fully at him. He had a unpleasant look on his face as he stared down at her. Chloe could feel the butterflies in her stomach and the twisting of pain in it too. She folded back the newspaper and put it down, only to buy her sometime to calm herself down.

"As you should know, I wasn't following you. I'm here just to get a cup of coffee and read the newspaper. My intention isn't on you anymore," she lied.

Sam looked back at the corner and then around the room before sitting down in the same booth as Chloe. An uneasy feeling sank into Chloe's stomach again and she cleared her throat and drunk a little more to her coffee to settle it down some.

"We're not just another story to be put into the newspaper you know," Sam said whispering.

"I know."

"We just want to be left alone and live out of the reporter's eyes."

"I understand," Chloe said noding her head. "I completely understand." Maybe I'll get a story after all, Chloe thought.

Things were quiet for awhile before Sam spoke up again. This time his voice was more of curiousity, then anger.

"Why after twenty-two years are a bunch of people from the Daily Planet want to bring up an old story. Don't they have better things to do besides our lives?"

"They're not and yes they do. Like keeping a talented reporter in the back and doing janitor work." Chloe let out a chuckle but stopped when the other person across from her didn't laugh. "Okay, I guess you didn't get."

"No I got it, I just don't understand."

"I was going to tell you back in the woods but you guys simply bite my head off. I couldn't get a single word out to explain my sudden interest in this story."

"Sorry about that but you deserved it. Following us into the woods and then ambushing us with a bunch of questions, isn't a good first impression. Especially bringing down a ton of bricks on us, by knowing who we are, was a little extreme."

"I know and I'm sorry. I just get so caught up in my story that I forget about people's feelings," Chloe said looking Sam straight in the eyes. "I just want to know what happen to you guys and what's the real story behind the news."

Sam sighed and took a sipped from his coffee. Now he was getting an uneasy feeling in the pit of his stomach. He looked up at Chloe and saw the sincere look she was giving him. He stood up from the booth but was stopped by a hand grabbing his. He turned to see Chloe's hand on his and he sat back down.

"I know it's uncomfortable for me being here and wanting to know about a tradegy in your family's past but you can trust me. Besides being an intern at the Daily Planet and wanting to be the best investigative reporter there is, I do have feelings and understand completely if you don't want to tell me. I just want you to understand that I'm not here because of a story but simply to understand. I have the entire summer."

"I don't think the summer will be enough," Sam smiled.

"Well, the summer is all I got and if that means holding out for your trust that long then I can do it."

Sam looked down and started thinking about what he's going to do. Should he tell a complete stranger, even though she seem nice enough, about his family's strange habits or leave and forget that they ever had this conversation. He can't risks ruining their hunt to search for the thing that killed his mom and Jessica just so an intern can get her name in lights for finding wanted men.

"Chloe, our lives now is a little bit awkward right now and having to tell you about what we've been up to and what we've seen will probably scare the hell out of you. You'll think we're crazy."

"Well I have seen and heard stranger things. What makes you think this is going to be any different?"

"Because it is and I don't want you to get hurt over it. I have to go."

Sam stood up and headed for the door. Chloe wasn't to far behind.

"Wait," Chloe said. Sam turned around to face her. "Well if you're not going to tell me anything, I should give you all the information I got on you."

"Chloe you don't have to do that.'

"No, I want to. Believe me, it's better off with you then with me."

Chloe walked passed him to get into her car. Sam did the same and followed her back to the motel. He had to smile when he saw her room was right next to theirs.

"I see you managed to get a room next to ours."

"Uh, oh yeah. It was easy," she said finally opening her room door.

Sam followed behind her and stood there looking around the room. Compared to their room, her room was the opposite. The only thing messed up was the bed. He sat down on her bed and watched her dig through her bag for the folder. When she found it, she sat down next to Sam and handed him the folder. Sam opened it and looked through it. He smiled when he saw the picture of him and his brother when they were little. It soon dropped when he saw his mother's picture.

"Sorry about your mom." Sam snapped out of his trance of looking at the picture and put on a smile.

"It's okay. I miss my mom but I never really knew her nor remember her. Only Dean and my dad has those memories of my mom and I just have the ones of Jess."

"Jess, oh you mean Jessica your girlfriend." Sam just nodded. Remembering the story Tommy told her about Jessica made her report mode kick in. "Jessica died of a fire in your apartment." Sam nodded again. Chloe thought about the fire and their mom's killing and started to put two to two together. "A fire that's right."

"What," Sam asked puzzled.

"That is why you left Standford, to go after the thing your dad was talking about that killed your mom. You think it's the same thing. The thing that killed your mom killed Jessica."

Sam stood up and looked at Chloe. She was catching on quick and he knew if he stay here any longer then he would be telling everything.

"I got to go.'

"Sam wait, please. I know I brought up bad memories but you can tell me. Maybe I can help you track this thing down."

Sam phone being to ring and he reached down in his coat pocket to get it out. "Chloe you can't help us, it's to dangerous." He open his phone and it read Dean. He pushed talk and held it up to his ear. "Hey Dean."

"Sam, where the hell are you," Dean yelled into the phone. "I woke up and you and the car weren't in the lot. You didn't even leave a note or anything."

"Since when have I ever left a note."

"Since you been gone for an hour. Now I see the car but no you, so where are you."

"I'm in room 30."

"Why are you in room 30?"

"I'm talking to Chloe."

"That reporter, are you crazy."

"Dean we're just..."

"I'm coming over."

Shortly after, there was a hard knock on the door, followed by poundings and then a deep yell of Sam's name. Chloe walked over to the door and unlock it to let Dean in. He stomp inside and walked over to Sam.

"What were you thinking. She's a freaking reporter for crying out loud."

"Her name is Chloe," Chloe said closing the door. She crossed her arms over her chest and looked at Dean. Dean looked her up and down before saying something.

"Come on Sammy lets go."

He walked toward the door and Chloe stepped aside. He walked out and went back into their room. Sam walked toward the door and stopped. He faced Chloe.

"Sorry but he's right. I hate to admit it but I shouldn't be talking to you. I wish you all the luck though with your internship."

Chloe smiled and closed the door behind him. She leaned against the door and sighed. I was so close, she thought to herself. But I can't except for them to automatticaly trust me. I have to win their trust first. And I could do that by helping them.

"But what," Chloe said out loud.

She though some more about the brothers and the thing they are after. And then she thought about yesterday. How Dean was yelling at her and told her to go home. Well your not going to get rid of me that easy, Chloe thought. Think Chloe what is it that you could do. Something finally hit her.

"Right, why were they out in the woods? They were searching for that missing guy. And that is why they were calling themselves detectives. I got it."

Chloe grabbed her laptop and cut it on. She looked up Mercer County Gazette and read the article on Carl Parker missing. Then she looked up the list of names that the gazette had under the article of missing people like Carl.

"Why would they be investigating Carl Parkers disappearence." She thought it over and smiled. "Duh Chloe, they think something strange happen to him that's why."

Chloe typed in supernatural plus missing people and stroll through the net for the information she was looking for. When she didn't find it. She decide to go to the local library to find more on the subject. Shutting her laptop down, she grabbed her keys and head for the library. They'll trust me now for sure, she thought to herself.
