He didn't want to kill her, but he knew he must. She was a great threat. He loved her, but in the end one of them would have to die.

"Mr. Luthor?" a voice asked from the doorway.

"Yes?"

"There's someone here to see you."

Lex looked up, "Send him in."

A moment later the man he had hired to do the dirty wok of this job entered. The man smiled, "I believe I've found Ms. Sullivan."

Chloe woke suddenly to the sound of someone moving clumsily around her hospital room.

"Hello?"

"Don't be afraid," the voice said quietly.

"Who are you?"

"It doesn't matter……you have to get out of here."

"Why?"

"They're coming."

"Who are?"

"The people trying to hurt you," he shoved a small bag into her hands, "There's a change of clothes and some money inside."

They both turned to look at the door as running steps sounded in the hall. The door opened, but Chloe saw no one. A moment later it closed, but Chloe still saw no one. She turned back towards the young man, "What's your name?"

He quickly helped her from the bed, her side felt on fire, but the adrenaline pushed away the pain.

"Luke?" a soft voice asked from the darkness.

Luke didn't look up from where he was cutting the IV to answer, "Are they here?"

"Yes"

Chloe stared into the darkness, but still she didn't see anyone besides herself and Luke.

All three froze as they heard angry voices outside the room. Luke thrust open the window, "Go!"

Chloe managed, with Luke's help, to get out, and felt her feet touch the wet grass, "Thank you."

Luke nodded before quietly closing the window.

Inside the room the door began to open. Luke stared, he was trapped.

"Luke, go out the window," Leah whispered, but it was too late. The two men burst into the room.

Chloe watched in horror as Luke fought against the two men, but it was an unfair fight. One he had no chance of winning. She leaned closer to look in just as Luke fell unconscious to the floor. The taller of the two men lifted Luke and after looking out into the hall, left the room. The other man followed, as soon as the door closed she saw her. A petite girl with light brown hair materialized as if from thin air.

Clark burst into the Luthor mansion. To his surprise Lex was not there. Where had he gone?
