    Part 4

    Gabe was sitting by one of the more secluded tables in the Talon. His back slouched, body much thinner, face pale. He was holding a cup of coffee in his hands and didn’t even realize that it was already cold.

    “Gabe?” he heard a voice. “Gabe!”

    Finally, his body jerked as he almost jumped and then straightened himself up.

    “I’m sorry,” Nell placed a hand over his shoulder and then took the sit right next to him. “I didn’t mean to startle you, but I’m worried about you. You keep sitting here, you don’t eat, don’t talk to me… Gabe… I can’t go through this alone and I’m sure that you can’t either. Let’s help each other.”

    “My little girl…” Gabe said with strangely thin and quiet voice. “My sunshine. The light of my life… I can’t even begin to imagine… I can’t…” His body shook in involuntary response to crying.

    “Oh, Gabe, it’s ok, you should let it go. Let it go. You’ve been holding it inside for too long.”

    “I need to be strong for her when she comes back…” he stopped himself. “I know she will. I know it. And your Lana will come back, too.”

    Nell had been the one to keep breaking over the past few days and Gabe had been there for her and kept telling her that everything would be alright. She’d been grieving so much that she hadn’t even noticed the change in her friend. He looked much older now, much thinner. And it’d been only a couple of days. She was afraid what would happen in few weeks…

    The sheriff was doing everything she could, but past the point of twenty four hours the chances of finding the girls alive had been dwindling drastically. The possibility of a ransom had been ruled out immediately as both Gabe and Nell didn’t have much. If it’d been only about one girl the sheriff would’ve thought about potential violent boyfriend or an accident like hit and run, but that had been ruled out as well.

    The reason was that there was about dozen more reports of young women that had gone missing. The answer was only one…

    And the brutal reality hit Gabe just that day. He’d seemed to be in denial earlier as he’d tried to be there for Nell, to make her feel better, to reassure her that she would see Lana again. Maybe the girl wasn’t Nell’s biological daughter, but the woman had been raising her for so long that she treated her like her own. Clark was nowhere to be seen as he’d been doing his own private research for people that could’ve possibly taken Lana. When he’d first heard the sheriff’s suspicions he’d almost gone mad while not been able to stand the idea of his beloved delicate fiancé violated by some other men or, he hadn’t been even sure if that had been worse or not, cut to pieces for organs.

    “But…” Gabe started again, “she… she never really had any real boyfriend. Sometimes I caught myself wondering whether she even kissed somebody and if she had, whether that was that special kiss you would wait for years to come. Since she’s never been in love I guess… I guess… she…” Gabe closed his eyes as his body shook again. He would not be weak like that. He had to be strong.

    He felt Nell’s arms going around him as she hugged him tightly.

    “If only I hadn’t told her I would like a flower…” he started again. “If only I’d…”

    “Oh, Gabe, please stop,” Nell pleaded. “You can’t change anything now. You couldn’t have known. Besides, it could’ve happened anyway. They could’ve caught her anywhere. It wasn’t your fault.”

    “I keep praying that she be alright. I’ve never been much of a religious person, not after my wife left me, but now… I know I don’t deserve anything from god, but I keep begging him to at least help her a little. I keep asking him to send her an angel to protect her, to get her home safely. I know the chances of her being untouched when she would come back are close to zero, but I keep asking for that anyway.”

    Gabe didn’t realize yet how close his prayers were to be answered…

    ***

    They were, indeed, being trained.

    Chloe was very tired of it. She was also hurt by watching all those poor women with less and less light in them every day. She wanted to cry when she saw the state Lana was in after coming back from her regular meetings with Lionel Luthor. The scumbag apparently liked her so much that he refused to stop using her or give her to somebody else. In one way it was a better alternative as Lana wasn’t being tossed around all the guards, what was happening to others, but still, she was being used. And Chloe hated it. There was so much angriness in her that she wanted to scream, bite, kick, tear all of that men apart. Of course, she couldn’t. She was pretty sure they would fist rape her and then kill her.

    So now she was suffering through another session of a porn marathon.

    They had to spend four hours every day watching different kinds of porn as to learn what was expected from them. What kind of sounds they should utter, how they should move, what they should do to men and their cocks.

    It disgusted Chloe. She was never opposed to reading or watching some smut, but that was just another kind of violation now, because none of the girls was in the mood for it. Some of them had already developed such hatred towards men that Chloe was scared about their mental state. She was sure even if they somehow managed to escape they would never be the same and probably would never let another man touch them.

    It was so sad. Chloe knew that closeness, intimacy and erotic love could bring a lot of joy to human life and she still wanted to believe it. Her faith was dwindling as well and she couldn’t help it. She started thinking that that kind of feelings were out of the question for her at that point.

    She had to admit, even though Luthor was a madman, he developed a very good strategy. The girls weren’t drugged as that was one of the ways to keep them by pimp’s side. Here, there were intimidated. If they made one wrong move they would be shot. No questions asked. Also, they were offered a better life, which probably worked like a dangling carrot. If they learnt how to be the best they would get better jobs meaning exclusive clubs, pretty clothes, jewelry, men that weren’t sweaty and disgusting, men that were businessmen or billionaires.

    Chloe knew that having two, actually three choices, because death was also a variable option, most of the women would choose the last. To learn, to accept what had happened to them and to try to reach the top. To be the exclusive call girl that would enjoy a life full of splendor in exchange for couple of nights with well groomed and disgustingly rich men.

    The movies were finally over and the women were let out to the canteen for lunch.

    When they were passing through the main hall Chloe noticed Luthor in the corner talking to the same bald man she’d seen before.

    She got curious, because she still have that strange feeling in her guts that the man wasn’t as bad as colored by the surrounding.

    She slower her pace, soon she would move to the very end of the women procession and would have no choice but to fasten up again.

    That was her chance. She did her best to hear as much as she could.

    “You’re almost never here, Lex! I never expected you to actually help me with this business , but you should stop trying to get away from me!” Lionel was saying.
    Chloe frowned. There was a really strange dynamic between those two.

    “You know I will find you anywhere in this world, Alexander, don’t you? And I will always know if you’re planning something. You will not get away, ever. I am untouchable.”

    The bald man was just standing there, looking at the older one, but not conveying any emotions. Chloe thought his poker face was excellent.

    “And you should stop trying to get a girl somewhere else. There’s plenty of them for you to pick here! Some of them even are virgins. You should stop being such a weakling, but I shouldn’t be surprised, you were always weak, no matter how much you tried to deny it.”

    There was a scowl on the younger man’s face.

    “Women are so much less then we are, remember that, son.” After those words Lionel patted his shoulder.

    Son? SON?! Chloe thought frantically.

    “Are you finished, dad?” the man finally spoke.

    Chloe couldn’t help but notice that he had a very nice texture of voice.

    But he was the son of her oppressor. She wasn’t sure if that was a good news since she hoped to get to him at some point to ask for help once again.

    “Moving!” the Russian guard poked her in the back with his gun and she jumped. She was also so sick of hearing that strange grammar.

    She felt cold sweat all over her body. She would not die that stupidly.

    Luckily for her the man didn’t fire.

    She quickly speeded up.

    ***

    When they finally entered the canteen they noticed that something was wrong immediately.

    There was no guards inside and the one, who just led them in, received a phone call and walked out of the room.

    Chloe looked at Lana in confusion.

    “Weird…” she said.

    They just stood there. Alone. Not sure what to do.

    “Girls, this may be one in a million chance!” Chloe suddenly heard Kara’s excited voice. “Let’s get out of here!”

    “And go where?” one of the women asked. “You heard that there’s nothing out there.”

    “I prefer to walk the whole night than to stay here!” Kara said and ran to the door. “There’s no one there!” She peaked to the hall.

    “I’m coming with you,” said one brunette Chloe didn’t know.

    She felt her blood boiling. Could that be really a chance? Or maybe not? Maybe it was a trick? Would she take the risk and try to escape? Risking her life in the process? But when the opportunity would present itself again? Before or after Chloe would be raped or sold out?

    Before she could make up her mind she saw Lana running after those two girls that had already disappeared into the hall.

    “Lana!”

    “I’m coming, Chloe. I want to come back home to Clark.”

    Chloe seemed not to have a chance. She ran after Lana and tried not to think about how stupid all of this looked. She had a very bad feeling. Her instinct usually didn’t fail her, so maybe she would just stop Lana and make her come back?

    Not a chance, she realized when she got to the entrance hall.

    The door was apparently not bolted and the girls were already outside.

    Chloe rushed after them, suddenly forgetting about everything. All she wanted to do was to taste her freedom again. She wanted to get back home. Could it be so easy?

    The barking. Shit. They forgot about the dogs when they were sneaking around, trying not to be too visible.

    They speeded up and, before the dogs managed to catch up, they climbed up the fence.

    The fence with spikes on top.

    One of the girls uttered a silent moan of pain, because she pierced her hand. But she didn’t fall down, she was strong, she pushed through the pain and found herself on the other side.

    Chloe managed to get through as well, only scratching her calf a little.

    Kara and Lana were more or less lucky.

    “RUN!” Kara said and they sprinted ahead. As far away from that old mansion as possible.

    Chloe couldn’t believe their own luck and started thanking every deity for that opportunity.

    They got tired very quickly, their lungs burning from the rush, but they kept on going. They would run till their legs would go numb.

    Half an hour later they all just walked along the road, tired, but exhilarated.

    “How far do you think is the nearest city?” asked Lana. “I want a phone. I need to call home.”

    A phone, Chloe thought. She could call her dad, tell him she was alright, tell him that no one harmed her. She could…

    There was a car heading towards them.

    What more, it was…

    “It’s police!!” Kara yelled with a huge smile on her face. “I can’t believe it!!”

    Chloe frowned. It seemed strange. Surreal. Too good to be true.

    But Kara was right. It was definitely a police car.

    It stopped and when the officer stepped out they begun all talking at once.

    “Wait! Wait!” he raised his hands. “You say what?”

    “We were captured by Lionel Luthor. He has a lot of women. They’re in danger,” Chloe said, trying to sound coherent and clear enough for the man to understand the main point. The most important thing was done, she said the name.

    “He… what?” the policemen didn’t seem to know much of English.

    “Luthor!” Chloe repeated, afraid that when they finally stopped walking the guards would finally catch up with them. They must’ve already realized they were gone. Or maybe the others had managed to escape as well? “Kidnapping… prostitution…” she said those two words in hope they were simple and similar enough in both languages for the man to understand.

    The officer seemed disturbed and soon he opened the back door of his car for them. “You, in.”

    The girls quickly entered the back seat of the car, happy. Even Lana seemed eager to smile like those past few days had been forgotten or buried deep down in her subconscious.

    Only the officer started driving in the direction they’d come from.

    “Officer…” Chloe started, “is it the right way? We want to go to a police station!”

    “Sure, sure, of course,” he murmured, but kept driving.

    “I don’t like it,” Chloe said.

    “Oh, Chloe, cheer out! We’re free! We couldn’t be saver anywhere else right now,” Kara told her.
    It still didn’t seem right.

    Chloe felt her stomach twisting when she saw the residence and then…

    “Wait! No! where are you taking us?!” the girls finally woke up, but of course, it was too late.

    The gate was opened for them and they drove inside. Were trapped. Again.

    They begun panicking, screaming, trying to open the locked door, but it was all for nothing.

    “Oh God, oh God… we’re gonna die!” Lana started lamenting when they saw Lionel Luthor exiting the main door and welcoming the officer with a smile.

    “He is untouchable…” Chloe whispered to herself at the sudden dread. She should’ve known better. If she thought his own son didn’t like what his father was doing… why Alexander hadn’t done anything by now? Because Lionel was more powerful than any of them could imagine. He even had the police in his pocket. What the policemen had
    in exchange? Chloe was sure that girls were provided to keep them happy.

    She felt sick. Above all she was terrified. That escape was unforgivable. She didn’t understand the meaning of it, maybe they’d been let go as a test, but a test for what?
    The back door were opened by Lionel and the girls were dragged off the car by his four guards.

    Lionel just stood there, looking at them and shaking his head.

    “I told you when you disobey the bullet in the head is imminent,” he said with a cackle of his lips. A cackle that was disgusting. “You failed the test.”

    “What kind of a sick sadist are you to play us like that?!” Chloe blurted out. She knew there was no point in keeping her mouth shut at this point. She would be dead within minutes. Probably seconds.

    Luthor smiled.

    “I like some entertainment. I like to see who has it in herself. Who is vapid and submissive, and who is a real fighter. We need, of course, the first kind of girls here and, as I need only twenty this month, it’s a good thing that one of you is already dead and the four just tried to escape.”

    “So, you’re just gonna kill us?!” the brunette, Chloe didn’t know, asked.

    The was a shot and she was lying dead on the ground.

    Lana started screaming. Kara seemed to had gone catatonic and Chloe was just standing there, her face white as paper.

    “You,” Lionel pointed Kara. “You’re a virgin.”

    It wasn’t a question, but Chloe thought even if it was, Kara would not be able to answer at this point.

    Lionel turned to the policemen, “collect your reward.”

    The officer put his disgusting fingers at Kara and soon dragged her away, inside the residence. Chloe had no doubts that she would be killed after “pleasing” him. She wanted to throw up. She wanted it to be over already. The anticipation for death was even worse than the death itself.

    Suddenly, a clean shot in the head didn’t seem so horrible. It should be painless, right?

    “You,” Lionel pointed Lana, “you’re lucky that I have a desire for you. You will be mine only and you will stay here. No one is to touch you but me. I like when a woman is a fighter. You know why?” He came closer and caught her jaw in his hand. “They’re better in bed. You prove it to me, I will let you live. Now, go! Get out of my sight!” He pushed her and she stumbled backwards, landing on the ground.

    Soon, she was picked up by Lionel’s guards and taken inside.

    “Oh, and you. You’re a virgin, too, am I right?”

    Chloe swallowed hard. No, she would not be killed on the spot. How could she forget? She would go through hell of pain first.

    Lionel clenched his hand like a steel vice over her forearm and pulled her towards the building.

    “We’ll see if you’ll be able to please me in a duet with your pretty friend, Lana,” he said.

    “Father,” there was voice coming from the driveway.

    Lionel jerked to a stop, Chloe almost losing her balance as he did so.

    Alexander Luthor stood there, watching them with an undefined expression on his face.

    “I have picked one,” came the ambiguous sentence.

    “What?” Lionel asked, frowning at his son.

    “You asked me before to stop being such a weakling and finally pick a girl. I just did. I want this one.” Lex pointed Chloe.

    She didn’t know if she should feel relieved or scared of the unknown. But at least… the younger man didn’t seem to be so horrible.

    “Really?”

    “Yes, as you said, fighters are better in bed. I want her.”

    “She is yours, then.”

    Surprisingly, Chloe felt a wave of relief washing over her as the younger man came closer.

    Lionel let her go and she would’ve collapsed if Lex hadn’t caught her in time.
    Their eyes met.

    She felt like some jolt of electricity ran through her and didn’t really understand it.

    All she saw was those blue-gray eyes looking at her worryingly.

    Then, they were left alone n the drive yard as Lionel came back inside, probably to get to Lana.

    “Are you… are you going to rape me?” Chloe asked with strangely calm voice.

    “Rape you?” she could heard the appall in his voice. “No. I think I’ve just rescued you.”

    On hearing that answer, that calm and caring voice, she just broke. Couldn’t hold it in anymore.

    She started crying.

    He seemed like he didn’t know what to do to make it all better. After all, there was no way he could. Not now. Not here. He would be dead as well as she if he tried.
    But he could protect her. At least that much he could do.

    She would not be touched as long as he was alive.

    She was shaking and sobbing, still crying, so he just put his arms around her, not even sure if she wouldn’t just push him away. But she didn’t. Instead, she hid her face in his chest and begun sobbing even more hysterically.

    It was then, when he raised her off the ground, swept into his arms and begun carrying to his own room.

    Really?! Wow! I feel honored that I made you like Lana, even if it's just a little bit!
    And I'm glad you feel like a test is something Lionel would do, because, to be honest, I had toubles with that part. I kept thinking it wasn't a plausible way, but well.. I had to do something to bring Lex into it. And I tired very hard.

    Oh my goodness I feel so bad for those girls. I am so glad Lex saved Chloe. [hfce]
    Yeah, and maybe now Lex can have someone to tell him off... just read...

    ***


    Part 5

    Lex didn’t really know how to handle the situation and he hated not knowing what to do. He usually had an answer to everything. As long as it didn’t concern his father, that was.

    Now not only he had taken a girl as his father had been always encouraging him to, but he felt like she was his responsibility now. He couldn’t save the world, couldn’t stand up against Lionel, but maybe, just maybe he would redeem himself bit, because of saving that one girl. He didn’t know why he’d done it or why her, he just felt it was right. He felt like it was the beginning of something. Maybe something was finally happening to push him to action, to inspire him to find a way out. Only, for how long he would be able to protect her before he would be able to do something? His father was capable of anything. Even having Chloe checked again. If she would still be a virgin… Lex didn’t want to think of what kind of trouble they would find themselves in.

    He finally reached his room on the top floor and pushed the door open. He silently thanked for the elevator that was of use only to him and his father.
    The girl wasn’t heavy, but he had to carry her for a long time.

    Finally, he entered a simply, but expensive furnished room and placed her gently on the bed.

    He usually wasn’t spending there much time as he preferred to be abroad, back in his native country, America, so there was only a huge bed, wooden wardrobe, a chair, two bedside tables and a bathroom door.

    When she felt the bed covers underneath her she just cowered and laid there, trying to stop sobbing, not brave enough yet to look around and to face that stranger.

    She heard the door opening and closing again and she was left alone. Yet, she still didn’t change her position.

    Then, after another few minutes Lex came back.

    The smell of hot, freshly brewed coffee filled her senses and that finally caused her to sit up on the bed.

    Lex placed the tray with a cup of coffee, glass of orange juice and some food on the bedside table.

    Chloe wasn’t able to stop herself. She hadn’t had the chance to get coffee since she’d gotten there, so she snatched the cup and drunk it all.

    It was delicious. Nothing like the food or drinks the girls were getting in the canteen.

    When the coffee was gone, Chloe, though hungry, stopped. She felt awkward with the whole situation. She realized what she’d just done. She’d let a complete stranger take her into his arms and, what worse, she’d cried into his chest. Then she’d let him carry her to his bedroom.

    And now was on his bed.

    She shifted like she was uncomfortable and finally dared to look at him.

    He was sitting in a chair, right in front of the bed, looking at her with unreadable expression. His chin leaned on his steepled fingers.

    “So…” she started, cleared her throat and said, “Alexander.”

    “Call me Lex,” he told her.

    He had a nice voice.

    Not to mention nice eyes and while being completely bald, he was really handsome.

    Not that Chloe cared, of course.

    “And you would be…?” he prompted.

    “Chloe. Chloe Sullivan,” she introduced herself.

    “Nice to meet you, Chloe.”

    She didn’t know if she should keep crying or maybe laugh for a change. The situation was rather tragic for him to say “nice to meet you.

    “I see you really love coffee,” he noticed.

    “Why didn’t you help me when I asked?” she threw a question back at him instead of answering his. She could feel save with him, so as she begun to calm down, the reporter side of her that wanted to know everything, woke up.

    “I couldn’t,” he answered and looked down on the floor, avoiding her eyes. “I am sorry, but… I just couldn’t. You have no idea of the magnitude of all of this.”

    “I think I do,” she said, very sure of herself. “And I am pretty sure I figured you out, too,” she added cockily.

    “Really?” he looked at her with one of his brows elevated and something that resembled a small smile. “Amuse me, then.”

    “You might not be the bad guy here, but your hands are still dirty,” she begun telling him. “You’re afraid of him. You’re afraid of standing up to your father. You must’ve been being pushed around by him your entire life. I heard him calling you a weakling. It’s not a pleasant thing when hearing from your own parent, is it? He’s disappointed in you and he keeps devaluing you. And do you want to know the main reason you won’t do anything?”

    “Go on,” he just encouraged her, clearly impressed by her wit and quickness with connecting the dots and reaching the right conclusion.

    “If you stopped him you would lose all your wealth. All those billions that your father probably makes. You would be just like the rest of us, common people. You would have to work hard and you’re not used to it. You’re just used to escaping and pretending that what your fathers does, doesn’t happen.”

    She stopped and there was silence in the room. Lex didn’t answer right away. He was just staring at her face. She could feel his eyes penetrating her, piercing her through like he was able to look into her soul. It bothered her, but in the same time fascinated.

    “Auch,” he finally uttered. “That last one stung.”

    “You wanted the truth,” she just said unyieldingly.

    “I don’t think I’m that bad.”

    “You can’t redeem yourself while saving only one girl,” Chloe told him.

    He looked at her in awe. It was like she could read his mind.

    “And… if you don’t do something more you will fail in saving me,” she just said while being completely clam.

    “Is that so?”

    “Yes. You think your father’s a fool? He will have me checked up at some point. He will know that you haven’t used me.”

    Lex sighed heavily.

    “I won’t, I promise.” He rubbed his head, didn’t know what to do.

    “Lex, I need your help. All the girls need you. They have to be saved. It has to stop.”

    “How? Do you think is that easy? Do you think I haven’t thought about it? I have. In fact, I do every day, if not every hour. My father has the police along the major authorities in his pocket. He provides them, they keep quiet. What happens here does sicken me, but I just can’t take the risk right now. I have no doubt that even if he is my father, he would kill me with cold blood if he knew I was plotting something against him.”

    “How can a father kill his own son?” Chloe asked. She couldn’t even comprehend it as all she knew about fathers was that they loved their children and protected them from harm. With her mother it was different. She knew it was a natural thing for a mother as well, but she couldn’t imagine how it would feel like to actually have one, one that would love her as much as her dad did.

    “My father can,” Lex just simply answered.

    “I’m sorry.”

    “Now you’re feeling sorry for me?” Lex was surprised.

    “What am I supposed to feel? You’ve been abused your whole life. It’s clear to me. I just don’t understand one thing…”

    “Why aren’t I like him?” Lex asked like he was reading her mind for a change.

    “Yeah.”

    “It’s because of my mother. She died when I was eleven. She was the most amazing woman I knew and she… got sick and died. When she found out what kind of a man my father was…” Lex stopped for a moment, closed his eyes, but then opened them and continued, “it was too late. They were already married. He had the power. She had nothing and he had everything. He threatened her, treated like trash. I was the witness. It was all I saw since I can remember. It is because of her and her love for me that now I want to stop it all. I want all of those women to be free, I just…”

    “Your father keeps telling you that you’re weak and you started to believe it,” Chloe said calmly.

    Lex just shook his head.

    “I have no idea why I’m telling you all of this. I barely know you.”

    “Yes, but it seems like… like we do know each other, even if we actually don’t…” she said. “Or I’m just silly to assume that.”

    “No, you’re not. I feel that way, too. It’s weird. To be honest… the first time I saw you, the moment you asked me for help… I felt so bad about myself, I hated myself. I should’ve done something.”

    “There was nothing you could’ve done back there. I‘m just glad you acted today.”

    “At least one time I actually did something good.”

    “I prefer to think it’s the beginning,” she said.

    “Chloe…”

    “Lex, we all want to go back home. I have a father, who waits for me. He must be worrying sick… I’m all he has and vice versa. He sacrificed everything for me. And now I’m gone. Probably forever. Can you imagine how he must feel?”

    She watched Lex’s face and noticed with satisfaction how much it changed. His expression was almost painful now.

    “And it’s just me. Imagine thousand of kidnapped girls. My friend, Lana, she’s being used by your father right now as we speak. And she has a fiancé back home. They wanted to get married, live happily ever after, have children. How can she now forget about all of what happened here and just live on? How?!”

    “Stop!” Lex raised his voice and stood up, begun pacing around the room.

    “I will not stop until you do something.”

    “It’s not that simple! My father watches my every move! He has me followed! Where am I supposed to go? To whom I’m supposed to report him?!”

    “I don’t know. Have you tried America? If your father is untouchable here, maybe…”

    “This is Russian soil. It would be much more complicated.”

    “Isn’t that even better? Crime in a different country?”

    “Even if I was finally ready to do this… there’s so much risk involved… I would have to be so careful. I would have only one chance to play this. He would kill me in instant if he knew.”

    “It’s alright. And you know what other ace in the hole you have?” Chloe asked, pretty excited.

    “What?”

    “A reporter that works for the Daily Planet. Go to media, win the case.”

    “What? Who is… no way, you? Really?”

    “I just got a job there, but I have no doubts that when they find out about what I’ve been through they would print the story on the first page.”

    “And you will go from bottom to the top. I bet it would be the first such a case in history. Barely started a job and…” he stopped. He suddenly realized they actually enjoyed the conversation and each other’s company. It was like fate brought them together.

    “It’s so… surreal. Like meant to be,” Lex confessed while coming closer and sitting on the edge of the bed. “Like something brought a reporter to me.”

    “Or like something brought me here to save all of those women,” Chloe said and she actually smiled.

    She knew it would be hard, but she could try. They would try it together. They had only one chance, so they had to be precise.

    “So, you’ve always been so noble or just now stopped playing around?” she asked idly.

    “What do you mean?”

    “Come on. I won’t judge. You must’ve used some women here,” she said. She didn’t really wanted to know, but on the other side, she had to. Part of her suddenly thought that it might just be another of Lionel’s tests, but it didn’t seem like that. He wouldn’t go to such lengths as to stage his quarrel with Lex, then him taking Chloe and…

    No, it would be too crazy even for the older Luthor.

    But Chloe had to be sure. That was why she studied Lex’s face as he was about to answer.

    “I never slept with any woman my father provided,” he said, dead honest with her.

    The truth obvious in his eyes. They were bare to her, his face stripped of any mask. It was like he knew why she was asking all those questions.

    “Really?” she asked one more time, just to be absolute.

    “I take no pleasure when there is no pleasure in return,” he said smoothly. “You don’t have to worry. This isn’t any test. You are save with me. I will not force myself onto you. I saved you.”

    “You would save me if you got me back to my dad,” she said. Pain visible in his eyes as she did so.

    “I told you, it’s not that simple!”

    “Then we’ll make it simple! I have an idea! I can go around, ask girls about what happened to them, take their statements. I can write. If only you could provide me with some paper…”

    “You can’t make it too obvious,” he said. “You have to be subtle. Start with girls you know you can trust.”

    “I have one,” she said.

    “Then you can come back here every night. You can spend your time here even during the day. As long as I call for you.”

    “Which will be all the time,” she told him.

    He sighed deeply.

    “My god. What am I doing?” he said at loud and covered his face with his hands.

    “You’re doing the right thing. I’m sure you wanted to do it from some time now, but you just needed the right push,” Chloe said, clearly very happy about herself.

    ***

    Chloe came back to her room. Lex promised her to gather all the evidences against his father he’d had so far. She was glad that he had something already. It meant it’d had to cross his mind to bring his father down at some point in the past. He just hadn’t known how to do it.

    When Lana came back from her meeting with Lionel she was so exhausted and shaken that Chloe didn’t have a heart to brag her about what had happened. She decided she would leave it for another day.

    Great chapter, but what will happen if Lionel has her checked immediately?

    I know that these things happen to girls all over the world, I am just happy that I am upper middle class and English so pretty much protected - knock on wood. At least when things like that do happen here it is the exception not the rule. The older sister of a friend of mine is training to be a lawyer and wants to go to India to work with the women who have been found who were sold into prostitution and help them get back home and to their familes etc.

    Ah, yes oral sex. That would probably stand up, if Lex had um ... expressed himself into her mouth, then he wouldn't have been able to take her in another way.

    Probably true.
