Chapter 31

Calvin argued with Chloe about him sacrificing himself so she could get the necklace or at least escape but Chloe did not agree with it at all. They stopped arguing for the night so they at least could get some rest.

The next morning…

Calvin woke up early. He watched over Chloe as she slept. He had made it his job to watch over her because he didn't trust the place at all. He didn't get that much sleep which was nothing new. During the night he would wake up to check on his blond-haired friend who was resting by his side.

Calvin sighed deeply. He was in so much pain everything in his body hurt, yet he didn't show it. Chloe didn't want to go with his plan because he would be risking his life. In the end, he agreed not to go with it.

Well, that's what he told her at least. This time he would have to do the opposite of what she asked him to do. Calvin was not going to let some bald headed wanting power freak beat him. Maybe it was his pride talking, but he didn't care. Like he told Clark, he had so many things to live for he would not give up.

"Wake up sleepy heads."

Calvin looked up to see Lex's men walking into the cell. He looked over to his right to see Chloe waking up.

"Calvin, what's going on?" Chloe asked sleepily.

Calvin whispered in her ear to tell her what would happen. He also told her to keep her ground and not to give into the temptations. He told her to promise she wouldn't say anything and she did just before the men broke them apart. Since Calvin couldn't walk, they dragged him down the hall on the right, while Chloe was escorted down the hall on the left.

They brought her into an office and left her there. She stared at the closed door trying to come up with a plan.

"Like I said, Chloe, don't try anything funny."

Chloe turned around to see Lex sitting behind her, "Now that I got your attention, sit so we can discuss what we shall do with you and your friend."

"If I don't?" Chloe asked.

Lex pulled out a gun pointing it at her, "Well, then you know the outcome if you don't listen."

Calvin was dragged into the bathroom. He was stripped of his pants and hosed down with ice cold water. He didn't mind the ice cold water as long as he was getting cleaned up from the dry blood and dirt.

Once he was clean enough the guys re-bandaged him, he didn't know why though. They would just beat him up again. They gave him back his pants then dragged him down into the lab where they would start with the mental torture.

Calvin was tied up to a cold hard steel table and attached to some wires so they could monitor him. Without any protest, they injected him with the drug. He would do anything to get him and Chloe out of here even if it meant enduring much more pain.

Clark finished doing his chores making sure no one saw and then went back in the house to have some breakfast. He proceeded to head to the loft to think about what he wanted to say to Lana. He needed to convince her somehow to spy on Lex.

He was sitting down on the couch when he heard footsteps approaching. He stood up to see his ex.

"Lana, I'm glad you came."

Lana smiled at him, "What is that you want, Clark?"

So much for trying to be nice Clark thought, "I need answers, Lana."

He started pacing, "I mean my wife is missing, my friend Calvin is missing, and now Chloe."

Okay he lied about Lois being missing but nobody had to know where she was at the moment.

"Wait, Chloe is missing?" Lana asked sounding surprised.

"Yes, she is," Clark said. He turned to her, "I need you to spy on Lex."

"Excuse me?"

"I know for fact that Lex has…"

"I can not believe you!" Lana yelled, "To think that he would kidnap Chloe, our friend."

Clark winced at her tone, "Hear me out first, Lana. Lex is not the person you think he is."

"Since you know everything about him Clark, by all means tell me who he really is and then maybe I will help you find Chloe, Calvin and your so called wife," Lana said with a knowing look in her eye.

Clark was now angry, "Are you that blind Lana? Lex is using you! Before you go on about how he hasn't lied to you and that I'm the big bad liar who broke your heart, you're the one who wrecked us. You just had to find about my secret, you couldn't leave it alone!"

"Don't you dare put this on me, Clark. You don't trust me, but you trust Lois."

"If you only knew, Lana." Clark paused, "Wait a minute, the reason you don't want to help me is because I'm married to Lois, isn't it?"

"I don't give a damn who you are married to."

Clark chuckled a bit, "I see now, it's all about Lana Lang. I didn't give you what you wanted, we break up. I hurt you, you hurt me, isn't that right?" Clark asked towering over Lana. "That's what you want, Lana? You'd rather see me suffer than help me find Chloe and Calvin, and save my dying wife! Is that what you want, Lana?" Clark asked.

"Yes! I want to see you suffer, I want to see you hurt just like you hurt me, Clark! I hate you Clark Kent! You made me this way!" Lana yelled.

Clark nodded, "Personally, I'm not going to blame myself for this one. You did this to yourself. We made mistakes by lying to each other, but we made the choices to lie. Now I finally realize why I didn't tell you my secrets. Goodbye, Lana."

Lana was shaking. Without saying anything, she stormed out of the loft, slammed the car door, sped off the Kent property.

Clark shook his head, "That went well I guess."

Clark sped out of the loft, heading to Spencer's house. It was time to pay a little visit to the person who started all of this.

Bruce walked over to his bar taking a bottle of whiskey and shot glass out. He poured some of it in his glass and downed it. It was early morning, but he didn't care. Bruce had stayed out last night to do some crime fighting. He had shown no mercy that night. Not that he ever did, but finding out that Chloe was missing had made him lose it.

He poured some more whiskey and downed it again.

"Isn't it a bit early for you to be drinking, Bruce?"

"It's never to early to drink, my dear. I would ask you…"

"I know how. How about you stop drinking and talk to me?" Diana suggested.

"What is there to talk about? I screwed up, now Chloe and Calvin are missing."

"It's not your fault, Bruce," Diana knew Bruce could be stubborn.

"It was all setup. I should have seen it coming. I should have known they would try to get Chloe."

Before Bruce could down his drink it was snatched out of his hand. Diana grabbed the glass and bottle. She poured the whiskey out over the balcony and then handed it back to Bruce. He glared at her.

"Instead of drinking, use that brain of yours and find them. Make up with Clark, you guys need to work together."

"Di…"

"Don't let Lex win, Bruce."

Diana left his room. Bruce walked out as well. He saw Alfred, "Can you get the car ready for me, Alfred?"

"Right away, sir."

"Thank you," Bruce then headed to bat cave. He was going to Spencer's house to get some answers.
