You Can't Hide Forever

Chapter 3

It was a bright sunny day in Smallville, Kansas, Clark Kent along with Lois Lane enjoying the outside on the Kent Family Farm. Clark was of course doing the work why Lois stood by his side watching in awe and mockery. Lois had recently flew into town and the Kent's allowed her to stay with them for the time being. She had came into town with a feeling that her cousin could not possible be dead but just missing, Lois made it her mission to find out the truth and search for her cousin. At this point, her plan was to get Clark her cousins best friend to help her in the unraveling of the mystery death that involved Chloe Sullivan.

Clark was tossing lumber into a pile, listening to Lois ramble not really paying much attention to what was actually being said. " Lois, you make it hard to work around here, you could pitch in a hand, my family after all is letting you stay here"

" Smallville, are you even listening to me, I am telling you that my cousin is out there somewhere alive and well or at least I hope" Lois replied, she was trying to get a point across to Clark, who she refers to as Smallville.

" Lois, Chloe was killed in the bombing of the safe house, the press stated it themselves, Lex told us, and if she was alive why didn't she come back?" Clark didn't like talking about Chloe, it upset him to think of his best friend's life ending the way it did at the hands of a Luther.

" Look, Clark I don't believe that Bullshit, you can't believe anything a Luther says, I know my cousin she would of fought to get out, maybe she can't come back because she is scared too" Lois replied with concern and seriousness.

Clark sigh, Lois did have a point but it was hard to believe. He missed Chloe just as much, she was his best friend and he could trust her with his life and his secret. Clark wasn't expecting Chloe to stumble upon the truth about who he was but it happened not long before the incident with the Luther's that sent Chloe into a safe house. He knew that when it came down to it, Chloe would never expose his secrets, that she was manipulated into being used by the Luther's for information about him.

" Okay, Lois will see. Help me finish these Chores and then we can meet in the barn to discuss a plan concerning Chlo"

The Motel.

That following day after and interesting day night, the boys had settled into a booth at the same cafe that Chloe and Dean had met at the night before. They were grabbing a bite to eat before they began to explore the town and search for a hunt. Sam was still confused and left out about why a pretty young woman had to spend the night in his and Dean's room for safety. Dean had not spoke more than necessary about it. All Sam knew was that Chloe and Dean apparently have met in the past and she had some type of situation going on that may not be safe.

" This is awesome Pie, Sammy eat some" Dean stated as he shoved more pie into his mouth. Dean was hungry and did not hardly sleep last night, he and Chloe ended up sharing a bed. This was due to the boys refusing to sleep in the same bed together. " What's the matter baby brother, are you sad are guest from last night insisted on going to work"

" Dean..who is the girl, why are you leaving me in the dark about all of this" Sam replied, after thinking for a few moments " Why was is necessary for her to stay in our room last night, it was awkward"

" Listen Sam, Chloe and I met a while back when I was in Smallville this was before you came along for the ride. Dad sent me to check out some strange occurrences that was occurring in that corn cob town. I met Chloe while I was there, she was different" Dean didn't want to get into a long story, at least not now, he would just tell Sam what he needed to know for now.

Sam studied Dean for a moment " You care about this girl. Dean she seems really young"

Dean knew that he would have to tell Sam more and that he was right" I do Sam, I always have and yes Sam she was in her Senior year when we met. "

" Senior Year of College?" Sam was hoping that this girl wasn't younger than him, but by the way it appears she is quite young but incredible intelligent.

" Nope, High School. Look Sam, we are wasting time here we need to find a case or at least figure out how to help Chloe out of this mess". Dean was trying hard to change the subject away from age, he felt old compared to Chloe.

About this time, the waitress came over to greet them, a different one than the one who took their order earlier. " I saw you last night with young Miss Barkley, I be careful about staying around this town"

" What do you mean? " Dean asked the woman, this seem rather odd.

" This is Oak Ridge we don't get a lot of visitors around here and they never stay long, Miss Barkley just happened to become a member of this town by luck, she had not been here for most of the year. You see, two handsome fellows like yourselves shouldn't hang around this dump of a town" The woman was suspicious and strange, Dean didn't' remember seeing her last night working.

" Why the greeting or it sounds more like a warning!" Dean asked of the woman with a raised eyebrow. The woman didn't bother them, she definitely wasn't going to scare them off.

" You two are different, Miss Barkley is here to start a new life, she doesn't need trouble men along for the ride even if they are handsome" The woman replied, than walked away, Sam and Dean turned to look at each other and in agreement decided they be sticking around for a little bit longer. Not long after that their waitress came to refill the boys drink.

" Who was that woman, that was just speaking to use, that co-worker of yours" Sam asked.

" I don't know who you are talking about, I am the only one here beside Cindy over there" She said replying to the girl behind the cash register. " Do you mean Cindy, she is shy so I doubt she would have the courage to speak to young men like you two"

" It wasn't her" Dean stated. This was getting more and more interesting by every passing moment.

The gas station wasn't busy and it was a quarter to five, Dean and Sam would be here to pick her up from work anytime now. It had been a long day which would not end any time sooner. Dean and her had more to talk about and Sam was still in the dark about it would not be able to hold it all together and keep the past hidden much longer and plus the longer the boys stayed in this town, the more they would come to realize how this little rig-did town had more to it than anyone could of thought.

Chloe sat outside on the bench in front of the station waiting on the boys to arrive, she was lost in her thoughts as a memory from the past consumed her.

Flashback

Chloe was editing the recent edition of the Torch, when all of sudden she heard the door to the Torch office open. In stepped Lex, who she was not expecting to show up at the school of all places, especially the school newspaper office.

" Lex, what a surprise" Chloe didn't know why he was here, but it could not be good. Clark and Lex may be friends but she was not so sure about Lex herself.

" I came to speak to you about my father Chloe, He is a dangerous man, please be careful"

" I don't know what you are talking about Lex. I can take care of myself" Chloe did not like the way this conversation was going.

" You see Miss Sullivan, My father will not stop until he gets what he wants. So once you start business with him there is no backing out. I am aware that you and Clark are close friends. I would hate for something to cause a rift in your friendship."

" Whatever I have going on Mr. Luther, Clark does not know about nor will he" Chloe shot back. She has never felt right about Lex Luther although he does seem charming.

" Very well Mrs. Sullivan carry on. Since you are Clark's friend as so I am, if this gets ugly I will protect you. After all Chloe, you do have something rather appealing about you" With that said, Lex left the Torch, leaving behind a single red rose and a envelope.

Inside the envelope held a check written out to the School for the Torch office to receive new computers. Chloe was not sure what the hell Lex was up to, but she didn't like it. If she ripped the check up he surely would find out, so she dropped it off in the principles mailbox on her way out. The smart thing would have been for her to throw it away but she couldn't do it, she knows how the Luther's are and there would be know way that she could possibly get away with that.

…..

The impala pulled up and Dean and Sam stepped out of the Car. Chloe was so lost in her thoughts she didn't even realize the boys had even got out of the car let alone pull up to the station and parked.

" Chloe, are you alright? you look like you seen a ghost or some shit like that" Dean asked, taking a seat next to Chloe on the bench.

" I'm Fine Dean, just thinking" Chloe hoped that she could go through the rest of the day without thinking about the past but that would be hard to do with Dean Winchester in her presence.

" Alright, so what do you know about this town? " Sam asked randomly. He wanted to know, the woman at the Cafe was creepy.

" It's a small town called Oak Ridge, It's not a big town and I've only been here for most of the year, occasionally strange things happen. Why else would I stay in this town of all places to hide" Now, that Sounded like the normal Chloe.

Chloe might have be pretending to be someone else and on the run but she chose to stay in this town because it reminded her of Smallville. She missed the late nights researching in the Torch, the cases she would seek on her own, and her wall of weird.

" That sound's like the Chloe I know, Just maybe Chloe Sullivan is Back in Action" Dean grinned at her. Sam looked confused, and Chloe gave them both a odd look.

" I for one would like to know more about Chloe Sullivan. You two need to tell me what the hell is going on, I'm tired of being left out. " Sam told them both a little annoyed but not mad.

Chloe and Dean both looked at each other for a response. Without speaking they came to an agreement. The three of them would be having a long talk once they got back to the motel.
