"So tell me... Why are you headed to the south side at-" lena cut herself off while she checked her watch for the time. "- 9:57 p.m. Where Im sure there will be a bunch of rapist lurking."

Kara's head shot over to Lena. Her eyes widened in horror. "Hey! Don't tell me that! Im having you drive me out here because my mother and sister haven't come home at all and I cant reach them. This is where my mothers gps said she'd be." Kara's eyes filled with tears. And Lenas widened as she looked at the younger girl.

"Hey! Its just joke, okay!" Lena awkwardly laughed. "Im sure everything's fi-"

"-LENA LOOK OUT!"

The car came to a sudden halt as Lena stomped her foot on her break, at Kara's sudden cry. Her head shot over pass the steering wheel and what she saw made her wished she didn't open her mouth and just kept her eyes on the road.

Kara's eyes widened as well and she quickly undid her seat belt. "No, no, no!" She opened her door and hopped out of Lena's car jogging past the fire truck, that Lena almost hit moments ago. A man came walking towards Lena and signaled for her to roll down her window.

"Are you alright miss?" The fireman asked.

Lena stared at him blankly and then realized that he wanted a response. "A... Yes. I am so sorry! I almost hit the truck. Please dont take away my license, my mother already hates me! I don't know what she'd do if-"

"Hey hey hey! Its alright. Im just worried about you and your-" The fireman turned and pointed his flashlight in the direction Kara ran in. "-friend... Over there. Hey! You kid!"

Lena looked in the direction he was shouting, and she decided to get any info she could from him. "Um excuse me sir? But what happened here?"

The fireman turned back to Lena with a questioning look, but then reverted back to his normal look, he looked off in the direction again as he spoke. "A family came by here earlier. A little boy spotted a woman on the pathway down there. Poor thing. Hit and run. Running... Literally. I mean the guy left his car here, but he took his license plates off. The guy must be pretty dumb not to know there are like a billion other different ways to figure out who it is."

Lena nodded. She thought about his phrasing of woman carefully. "Would that woman happen to be Eliza Danvers?"

With that the fireman looked at Lena. And this time with a suspicious look on his face. "Why are you so interested?"

"Because..." Lena looked for a name on him. "Captain Smith. That girl that ran up there." Lena pointed. "Is Eliza Danver's daughter. Shes been trying to get ahold of her and her sister Alex for the past couple hours. Neither of them came back from school and she hasn't heard anything from them since."

Smith quickly pulled up his com, and spoke into it. "There may be a missing child in the area. Daughter of the hit and run, over." He turned toward Lena and spoke firmly. "Will you please come up front with me, miss... Luthor? I need you to talk to the police captain."

Lena nodded and then stepped out of her vehicle. But she flinched when the distant sound of gun fire could be heard.

Everything went silent all except for Kara's cries. "No! No! No!"

Lena ran to her side and pulled her in for a hug. Hiding the younger girls eyes from her mothers body. And to comfort her at the sound of the gun shot.

A few seconds, that felt like hours passed by and everyone got back to what they were doing. All except for the police, who were calling in backup and were starting to head in to the woods.
