Night Demon - Page 10

"That old wives tale?" Clark asked, placing two more boxes on top of the one Chloe had already closed.

"Clark, two people died." Chloe said, running a hand through her hair. "There may be something out there." She walked over and shut the door. "Maybe you should see what you can find out."

"I don't know, Chloe. I don't believe stuff like that." Clark shook his head.

"Come on, we live in the meteor capital of the world." Chloe sighed. "You can throw a car like a beach ball. Is it so hard to believe that there could be a demon out there killing people?"

Clark tossed some pictures into a box. "I guess I could look around."

"Thank you." Chloe smiled up at him. "My hero as always."

Clark returned the smile and nodded. "I'm always here for you." He turned back to the box he was working on. When he had filled it, he picked up the four large boxes and left the room. He returned a few minutes later and continued to help Chloe pack things up.

Chloe locked up the office and placed her key in her pocket. Looking at Clark, she smiled. "Thanks for helping me."

"No problem." He pointed to the door. "I can walk you to your car."

"Okay." Chloe walked with Clark out of the school. The dark sky loomed above them as they walked towards her car.

"So, are you gonna see Dean again?" Clark asked, as he walked beside Chloe.

"If he asks me." Chloe answered, smiling at him.

Clark looked down at the ground and back over at her. "Just be careful. You don't know him."

"I'll be careful." She unlocked her car door and threw her purse inside. "I'll see you later."
