Chapter 9: Coming.
As Chase leaned in and kissed Chloe she was trying to get her hands untied. When she jerked her arm in trying to pull it out of the rope it got his attention. As he started to bend over her shoulder she quickly pushed her lips on his. It was the only distraction she could think of. And as he took the bait she pulled one of her wrists out and undid the other. As soon as she untied them she raised her hand and punched him in the jaw and then brought her leg up and kicked him in the groin.
Chase bended over in pain and it brought him to his knees. "You bitch—" he grit his teeth.
Chloe turned to her father's chair and rushed to untie the knots on his hands. They were a lot tighter than her own had been and her fingers kept slipping over them. Her father wasn't even conscious anymore and she remembered he had hit his head on the floor when Chase knocked his chair over. She gave up completely on the rope when she hurt her wrist by twisting it the wrong way in trying to loosen them.
She instead went to the front of his chair and grabbed his shoulders and started shaking him. "Dad! Please….daddy…"
She had forgotten all about Chase…but remembered as her head was slammed against the side of the chair and she sunk to the floor.

"Quite a rowdy one you have there Gabe." Chase felt around his jaw and grazed his hand along the shoulders of Chloe. He knew he wasn't actually getting through to her dad. He knocked him unconscious, which was real smart on his part since he needed to know where the hell he was hiding all that money.
As he pulled a pocket knife from his back pocket he left a small kiss on Chloe's head. "It's too bad Chloe; I didn't want it to be this way. You had so many…" he let his eyes float down to her breasts and lap. "Possibilities…"
As he lowered the knife to her neck it was knocked from his hand. But he had no idea from what, all he knew was that his hand felt like it was on fire and as he looked down at the knife it was glowing an auburn color. His head jerked to the side. Of course this was happening, he should have prepared for it.
"Clark."

Clark rushed down the stairs of Chloe's basement. As soon as he arrived at the front door he was panicking. She wasn't answering her cell and he didn't even bother to knock on the door. If she wasn't in trouble she could yell at him later. He saw Chase raise the knife to her neck and for a moment he actually panicked; which was something he never did. After all these years of having powers he never hesitated in using them. But it only took a second for him to adjust and he let loose his heat vision and let it hit Chase where it may. He honestly didn't give a shit where it hit him. Usually he was worried about hitting the actual person, and he didn't understand why. But not this time; this was Chloe he was worried about. Screw worrying about injuring Chase.
Although he didn't, he hit the knife just like he usually intended to do. Not that he was complaining.
"Clark."
Chase suddenly ran towards him and Clark reacted by lifting him by the shoulders. He gripped Chase's shoulders and he swore he was going to end up breaking his collar bone…or worse.
"Bad idea Chase"
"Dude, what are you on?" he screamed and scrabbled in Clark's grip.
"Something that's gonna break your bones if you don't stop moving." Chase's eyes seemed to widen at that. "And if Chloe's not ok, you're going outta here in a body bag."
He knew he was being a little dark and dramatic but all he needed was Chase to believe it; which he seemed to because he nodded frantically. He then sat Chase on the steps and tapped him on his forehead, which knocked him unconscious. It didn't take much when you had super strength. But it was difficult to get his rage under control and merely tapping him was driving him crazy.
He saw Chloe move her head a little after that and then all of a sudden he wasn't thinking about Chase at all. He ran to the front of her chair and gently grabbed her shoulders trying to get her to wake up all the way.
"Chloe…Chloe are you ok?" He brought one of his hands around her head and pushed her hair behind her ear.
When Chloe realized it was Clark pushing her hair back a few tears escaped her eyes and she threw herself into his arms. "Oh God Clark, I thought you weren't coming." She sobbed.
"Shhh…" he cooed trying to calm her. He folded his arms around her and pushed her closer to him. "I'm always coming for you."
