Chapter 27

"No, no and no," Clark said.

"Clark, I have to do this," Chloe pleaded.

"I agree with Bruce. Your plan is dangerous, Chlo," Clark said.

Diana took a seat watching Chloe, Clark and Bruce argue for about twenty minutes.

"Do you guys have a plan to find Calvin? And don't you dare tell me your men are looking for him," Chloe said glaring at Bruce.

There was silence, "That's what I thought. We have to find him."

"We know this, Chloe and we know Spencer is crazy. If he gets you there is no telling what he might do," Clark said trying to reason with her.

"Do guys think I am stupid?" Chloe said.

"No we don't, Chlo. Just listen to what we are saying. Spencer is not stable; we need to be smart about this," Bruce said.

"You know what? Forget it, I will find a way to get Calvin out of this since both of you don't give a damn about him," with that said Chloe stormed out of the living room.

Clark and Bruce sighed in frustration. They turned to Diana who was glaring at both them, "What?"

"You guys are idiots," Diana said getting up.

"What are you talking about?" Bruce asked, " Don't tell me you agree with Chloe's plan?"

"No, not really but it is the only reasonable plan we have, you know, to find Calvin, your best friend."

"I know," Bruce said softly, "I can't lose her, Di. That's why I need to find a way to get Calvin out of this without losing both of them."

"Well, I'm going upstairs to see if she is okay. Goodnight," Diana said before she went upstairs.

The men bid her goodnight and sat down on the couch lost in their own thoughts.

"What if went with Chloe's plan. I mean we would be with her watching her," Clark said.

Bruce turned to him, "I don't like this idea. I have a bad feeling if we do this."

" I have a bad feeling if we don't do this real soon he might not come out of this alive and I promised Diana we would find him alive. I intend to keep my promise," Clark said.

Bruce shook his head while Clark stood up and left. Bruce got up to go put on his bat suit. He needed to do something to get his mind off of this dilemma.

Next Day….

Calvin was hanging from the ceiling. The steel chains were cutting his wrists. He was tired physically and mentally and he still couldn't believe he was alive for this long.

"Good morning!" Spencer yelled.

Calvin groaned in response. He had a pounding headache and he was aching all over. Spencer smiled seeing Calvin in pain.

"Are you ready to answer some questions because if you don't we'll give you much more pain."

"Then do it because I'm not answering a damn thing."

"You're good but you will crack especially when we get Ms. Sullivan. I'm planning on having some fun with her."

"Don't you dare touch her. You can do anything you want to me but leave her alone."

Spencer sighed, "You would risk your sanity for her?"

"On my life if I have to," Calvin said looking right at Spencer.

Spencer laughed, "Until we get her you'll have to do," he snapped his fingers and three muscular guys walked in.

"Calvin will be your punching bag for today until we get you a new one or until he cracks. Oh, and don't kill him," with that Spencer left.

The three goons smiled at him, cracking their fingers. One of them punched his stomach making Calvin wince in pain. They all took a turn beating on him for about an hour before they got bored and watched him cough and spit out blood.

Lex came in. He commanded the men to take the chains off. When they did Lex walked up to him grabbing the younger men by his neck.

"You know you don't have to suffer like this if you answer the questions. Join me and we could bring Clark down, bring all your enemies down. We could be so powerful."

Calvin looked at him and smiled. Lex smiled as well, "Does that mean you will join me?"

"No, I was just smiling because you look stupid asking me after the things you done to me. Now you want me to join you. You must be crazy. I'm not joining my enemy and I'm sure as hell I'm not betraying my friends' trust just because you have a thing for power."

Lex smile faltered. He punched Calvin mercilessly. Lex wanted answers and he would find them. He stopped punching him and looked over at the men who were beating up Calvin before.

"Take him to the lab. Tell them take make him suffer much more now!" Lex watched the men drag Calvin to the lab.

Lex took a cloth out and wiped the blood off his hands. He took out his cell phone, "We're striking tonight. Do not let me down."

Chloe went to the Daily Planet to get away from Bruce since she was still angry with him. He had guards keeping an eye on her which ticked her off even more. She was doing some research on Spencer a.k.a Tony for Diana. They needed to find him.

Clark was still keeping it on the down low since the media still said he was the reason why Lois was missing. The other reason why Clark stayed at the manor was because of the general. He was furious. Even though Clark could take him on he didn't want to bring any attention to himself.

Chloe looked at the time. She was supposed to meet Diana for her ultrasound since Calvin was still missing. She grabbed her purse and walked out with the guards behind her.

"You know you guys are getting on my nerves," she said hopping into the car with the guards.

"Sorry, Ms. Sullivan, but we need to keep you safe," a guard said.

"Yea I know," Chloe said annoyed by Bruce's tactics.

"Why am I here again," Clark asked Chloe.

Diana was putting her clothes on as Chloe looked at him, " Because we are going with the plan tonight."

"You know I don't like lying to Bruce."
"You lied about your marriage," Chloe said.

"That's different," Clark said.

"No, it's not. You risked your name and life to save my cousin so I am doing the same."

"No I did not risk my life," Clark said.

"Kidnapping a three-star general's daughter? I'd say you risked your life."

"He'll kill me if he ever found out," Clark said, "I'm screwed. I mean Lois will kill me when she finds out we're married.

"Yea," Chloe said with a smile. Clark glared at her.

"Okay everything is planned," Diana said, "we do this tonight without Bruce's help."

"We get Spencer, find Calvin, happy ending," Chloe said.

"Yea," Clark said doubtfully. He had feeling something would go terribly wrong.
