AN: Thanks for reviewing and if you knew from my last story, my writing isn't prefect. I'm sorry about that but I hope you enjoy reading my story even though the grammar is bad. Well here is another chapter for you guys. Enjoy.
Chapter 3: In the Alley
Editing and pasting, this is what you call moving up Chloe. It's barely a job, Chloe thought to herself. Well at least you got some of your stories published in the newspaper. Chloe continue her pasting until Clark came in.
"Hey, Chloe."
"Hey, Clark."
"Working late again I see."
"If you call what I'm doing working," she smiled. "So what brings you here this late?"
"I can't check on my best friend, working alone everyday to bring her her favorite hot drink of all time."
"If it's not an espresso with extra foam then no you can't."
Chloe turned to face Clark now and saw that he was holding a bag and a cup holder with two Styrofoam cups in it. She smiled up at him and stood up to grab one of the cups.
"Thanks Clark, I really needed this," Chloe said taking a sip from the cup.
"You're welcome. Listen, Chloe about yesterday, I want to say…"
"Clark, it's okay really. No need to apologize. It should be me who should be apologizing. I guess I was stressed out about moving, my new position at work, and other things, I kind of took it out on you. I'm sorry."
"It's okay Chloe, I understand."
Both took a sip from their espressos.
"This is good,' Chloe said breaking the silence.
"How long are you staying tonight?"
"Why do you ask?"
"I just want to know if you want me to come over to help you unpack some more things tomorrow or not, with you working late and all."
"Well, so far I'm through with the pasting, so all there is left to do is the pressing and printing, referring to the newspaper articles. This goes by pretty quick, so another hour or two."
"Oh, so not that long. Do you want me to stop by tomorrow?"
"Why not, the sooner we get the unpacking done, the better right?"
"The sooner the better. See ya Chloe," Clark said leaving.
"Goodnight Clark."
Chloe was putting the last stack of finish newspaper with the rest of the newspaper in the delivery room. Yawning and stretching out a little, she left the room and went back to her desk. She gathered up her things and was about to head out the door when her cell phone ring. "Uh, who could be calling this time of night," she said getting out her phone. She looked down at the display and it read unknown caller. Who ever this is better have a good explanation for calling…"Hello."
Chloe?
"Speaking, who is this?"
Chloe, it's me, Sam.
Chloe took in a breath. "Sam, is this really you?"
Ya, it's me
"Oh my god, Sam it's so nice to speak with you again, I was getting…"
Chloe we're in Smallville
Chloe let out a breath she didn't know she was holding. "You're where?"
Smallville
"How, when did you get here?"
We'll explain later, listen Chloe is there somewhere we can meet? Somewhere private, were no ones around?
"Um…the Talon, we can meet there. I doubt anyone there this time of night."
Okay but we can't go in. Maybe if we can meet somewhere behind it or…
"There's an alley right beside it, we can meet there."
That's great, that would work out great. See you there.
"Okay."
Bye.
"Bye."
The phone on the other end click, ending the phone call. Chloe slowly lower the phone from her ear and put it back in her purse. She was stun. The Winchesters, here in Smallville, she thought to herself. "They're here in Smallville," she repeated to herself but this time with a smile on her face. She hurried out the door and into her car. She had to hurry to meet them.
Sam hung up the pay phone and walked back to the car. Dean, who was still asleep, stir awake when he felt his brother getting into the car. Rubbing the sleep from his eyes, he gradually look around.
"Where are we," Dean said looking at his brother.
"Smallville."
"Excuse me, where?"
"Smallville."
Dean frowned. "Damn it Sam, I told you we can't stop here. It too dangerous for us to stop anywhere."
"Yeah, like driving around anywhere isn't?"
"…Sam?"
"When were you going to tell me, Dean?"
"Tell you what?"
"That you got hurt bad by the Davaes. Were you going to wait and tell me when you bleed to death?"
Dean looked down at his side. He pulled his jacket out of the way so he could see the bloody side of his shirt. He cursed under his breath.
"When, Dean?"
"When we get to where ever we're going. Which I figured, Mexico or Texas. You happy dad?"
"You full of it you know that?"
"Yeah, whatever. I can't believe you brought us here."
"You're lucky. You wouldn't have made it, if we didn't stop." Dean just rolled his eyes. "I called Chloe. She said she'll meet us at the Talon."
"Did you tell her what happened?"
"No, I told her we'll explain everything once we get to the Talon."
"Won't she be surprise when she sees us. Especially you. You look terrible."
"Shut up," Sam said starting up the car.
Chloe stood in the alley, with her red bug, by the Talon waiting on the Winchesters. So far it's been ten minutes and that was because she was speeding. She was so excited; she didn't want to be late for their arrival. I can't believe there here, she thought to herself. I wonder why, after two months, they show up in Smallville. Maybe something is wrong. Could that be it? Sam sound like he was nerves and panicky when he was on the phone. Could it have anything to do with Dean? I hope not. Please, I hope not. Maybe they're here to visit? Take a break from their demon hunting and they just decided to come to Smallville to visit. Yeah, Chloe that's it. Pulling her out of her thoughts, her cell phone ring and she quickly picked it up.
"Hello."
Chloe, it's me, Sam. We're pulling up.
"Okay, I'm here in the alley already."
We see you.
Chloe turn towards some lights shining behind her. She raises her hand up to block as much light from her eyes and still see at the same time. The light shut off as it approaches. Only the lights from the side of the building and the light down the alley gave Chloe the light she needed to see the black impala. The impala came to a complete stop in front of her and her heart sped up. Here it is, moment of truth, Chloe thought to herself as the doors to the impala open. As soon as the driver's foot hit the ground, Chloe's mind ran away with her. To the day where she first met the boys in the woods in Mercer and to the day they were captured by the fear demon. Her mind with on playing flashbacks of her time with them in Mercer, that it took her a long time to noticed that someone was shaking her.
"Chloe, Chloe are you okay," Sam said still holding her.
Blinking back some of her flashbacks to come back to reality, Chloe let out a breath. "Yeah I'm fine. I just space out a little, no big deal." Sam let go of her and back off a little. Finally looking up, Chloe gasped. "What happen to you," Chloe said looking at both boys. Sam looked back at Dean who was standing between the passenger's door and the car. He turned back to face Chloe and she still had the distress look on her face.
"Are you guys okay, do you need to go to a hospital," Chloe said reaching up to Sam's scared face. He pulls back, "No, no hospital."
"Then where? Look at you two. You're going to need stitches."
"We know that's why we came here. We sort of need a place to stay. Just for a little that's it."
"That's why you're here? To heal, and then you're off to leave. May I remind you that I haven't seen or spoken with you guys in two months and you just want to leave again? Two months," Chloe said getting a little louder.
Sam put his hands on her arm to calm her before he spoke. "Chloe please, now is not the time. We'll answer any questions you may have but we need to get off the street and stay somewhere. We had nowhere else to go."
Chloe looked into Sam's brown eyes and saw the innocence behind them. Closing her eyes and counting to ten, she opened them again. "Okay." Sam let go of her arms.
"Sorry to ruin the whole emotional scene but we really have to go," Dean said from the car. He was leaning against it a little more and Sam knew they had to get someplace quick to clean their wounds. He looked back at Chloe, who still had her eyes on Dean. Looking him up and down.
"My apartment, we can go there." She turns on her heel to her bug and got in. Sam and Dean did the same and followed her out of the alley.
Lana stepped out from around the corner of the Talon with a trash bag in her hand. She had a petrified look on her face as the two cars turn the corner down the street.
AN: Again, I will have to ask, how was it?
