Challenge #17: Chloe's Discovery

____________________

Martha met Chloe at the door. Her eyes were red, and she dabbed hastily at them with her fingers.

"Mrs. Kent," said Chloe, and stepped inside.

Chloe took a deep breath. "Mrs. Kent, I'm so sorry about your baby. Pete told me what happened. I know Clark's probably devastated, too."

Martha looked away. "Clark’s gone, Chloe."

"Gone where?" Chloe stammered.

"We don't know. When we came home from the hospital, the place was deserted. No one's seen him. But, Jonathan's motorcycle is missing, too." Martha began to cry in earnest.

"Chloe, we have to find him. Did you see him before he left?"
