Chapter 8:
Jason and Chloe stood watching Travis as he made a phone call. Chloe strained to hear his words, but only caught bits and pieces. Who is he talking to? What is he saying? When she heard her name mentioned she struggled even harder to hear. But he had already ended the conversation. She had to do something. Chloe noticed that he had slipped the cell phone into his pocket. She had to get a hold of it, she had to find Clark. Her mind was racing. An idea suddenly came to mind.
"Jason, don't let him leave. I have an idea."
Jason was about to ask her how he was supposed to do that, but she had already left his side.
Chloe walked up to a girl that she knew from Met. U. The girl was about Chloe's height and weight, but her hair was a light brown and ran down her back, almost reaching her waist.
"Excuse me, Ashley?" She asked, tapping the girl on the shoulder.
"Hi Chloe."
"Hi. I was wondering if you could do me a favor."
Chloe was hoping that Ashley would be able to help, for this was the only idea that she had. Ashley and Chloe had met when they both chose journalism as their major and had a lot of the same classes.
"Sure." Ashley replied.
……………………………………………………………………
Jason had managed to keep Travis in the alley, but was hoping that Chloe would return soon. He let out a half-laugh when just then she appeared by his side.
"Can you read minds?" He whispered.
"What?" She asked, confused.
Jason just grinned and looked back at Travis. Ashley suddenly appeared at the other end of the alley. She turned her head back and forth with a frustrated look on her face. When she saw Travis she let out a sigh of relief and walked straight towards him.
"Excuse me." Ashley said politely.
Travis turned to face her and replied, "Well, well, what's a pretty lady like yourself doing in this dark alley?"
"To tell you the truth….I'm lost."
"Well if you would tell me where you're headed, maybe I could be of some help."
"Umm…" she glanced at the piece of paper that she held in her hands. "22nd street."
"Ok, I know where that is. I'll write it down for you if you'd like."
"Oh would you?" She handed him a scrap of paper and a pen from her purse.
He slowly explained the directions out loud as he wrote them down.
"Here you are." He said, handing the paper and pen back to her.
"Thank you so much. I really appreciate your help." She expressed her gratitude by planting a kiss on his cheek. As she did so, she slid the cell phone out of his pocket and into her purse.
"Glad to be of service." Travis said and watched her exit the alley. He then proceeded to super speed out of sight.
Chloe was suddenly filled with worry. If Travis had Clark's powers…that meant that Clark was now vulnerable. What if Travis had already... She couldn't even finish that thought. Chloe jumped when she felt someone tap her on the back.
"It's just me." Ashley reassured her.
"Oh Ashley, did you get it?"
"Yup." She handed Chloe the cell phone.
"Thanks you so much. This is really important."
"No big deal. I would love to stay and help, but I have class. So I'll see you later."
"Ok, thanks again."
Ashley nodded before heading back towards the dormitory. Jason had been standing there the whole time with a confused expression written across his face.
"How did he…I thought that……..But this isn't even Smallville."
Chloe just shook her head and walked back towards the dormitory. "I'm going to warn Lana." She said.
"I'll be there in a minute. I have to make a phone call."
Chloe nodded and kept on walking. Jason opened his cell phone and dialed before placing the cell phone against his ear. "Lex, it's Jason. I found Travis……"
………………………………………………………………………
On Chloe's way up to the dorm she flipped open the cell phone. She stopped in a secluded area and pushed the redial button.
………………………………………………………………………
Clark was sitting against the wall in the dark basement. There was a black, cordless phone sitting on the floor next to him. Several times he had tried calling for help, but with no luck. It appeared that the phone could only receive calls, for he had just received one from Travis. When he had first been kidnapped he was able to see everything that Travis was doing. But Travis obviously disabled the camera. Now he just received phone calls from him. Clark let out a deep sigh. He had to get out. He had to save Chloe from Travis and tell her that he still loved her. He hated the thought of her being in pain, physically or mentally. When the phone again rang he reluctantly answered, expecting to hear Travis' voice on the other end of the line. But instead it was a female voice, not just and female voice. It was her voice.
"Chloe?"
"Clark it that you? Not Travis?"
"It's me Chloe, really."
"How can I trust you?"
"Ask me something that only I would know."
"Umm……How do you get to The Fortress of Solitude?"
"Through the Kawatche Caves in Smallville, but you have to have the octagon shaped key."
"Oh, Clark! Are you alright? Do you know where you are?"
"I'm fine. All I know about my location it that I'm locked in a basement. But don't worry about me right now. Travis swore that you would pay for what you did, especially because he didn't succeed last time. So be careful."
"Aren't I always?" She let out a small laugh.
"Chloe I'm serious…." He paused, "I love you more than anything in the world and I don't know what I'd do if I lost you." Clark told her. She could hear the sadness in his voice.
"I love you too Clark." She replied, sounding much more serious.
There was silence on both ends of the line, neither of them knowing what to do or what to say. Clark was about to speak again when he heard footsteps above him.
"Chloe he's coming I have to go. Be careful. And Chloe……good-bye."
Chloe didn't get a chance to respond, for he had already hung up.
"Good-bye Clark." Chloe said sorrowfully. She knew very well that that could be the last time she heard his voice. She snapped the phone shut and continued up to the dorm.
………………………………………………………………………
Lana was trying to study when she heard the door open. She looked up and saw Chloe coming over to her.
"Hey." Lana said quietly. She hadn't talked to her since Chloe caught her kissing Clark.
"Lana we need to talk."
"Ok…"
"Clark is Travis." Chloe blurted out.
"What?"
Please Review! It takes like a minute, and is very much appreciated!
