summary-this is what happens when you forget to put up the 'closed' sign

"Lana? I know you're supposed to be closing up now, but Chloe and I need a jump start before we go at this week's issue." Clark called out as Chloe and he walked into the Talon.



"Lana?" Chloe asked, looking around to see if she was clearing off any tables. "Where do you think she is?"



"She's not just going to take off and leave the Talon in the middle of closing up!" Clark said, worry straining his voice.



"Come on, maybe she's in a back room or something." Chloe said, squeezing Clark's hand and pushing back a curtain to reveal a dimly lit hallway.



"Lordy, its dark back here. How can she find her way around?"



"She's had this place for awhile now, guess she's used to it." Clark replied. "Ok, let's just try doors. I don't think there's anything that's restricted or anything."



"Like I care if it is or not?" Chloe grinned, pushing open a door.



"Whoa, Clark, c'mere," Chloe half-whispered down the hall to Clark, laughter in her voice.



"What?" Clark said, putting his arm around Chloe absently, peering into the darken room.



"Is that who I think it is?" Clark asked, shocked.



"Let's find out, shall we?" Chloe asked, a mischievous grin on her face as she reached for the light switch.



CLICK!



"Wh-wh? Lex, stop it!" Lana giggled as she tried to push Lex away from her.



"Mhh, no," Lex chuckled as he leaned back towards her for a kiss.



"I think we, uhm, have company." Lana said, finally getting Lex to pull away from her and turn to see Chloe and Clark in the doorway.



"Our lips are sealed," Chloe said, leaning her head on Clark's chest. "As long as we get a spare key to this room, which you might want to lock from the inside next time." Chloe grinned.



"Deal," Lex said, nodding his head. "Now, Clark, get you and your nosy girlfriend out of here." Lex said, smiling.



"Hint taken." Clark said, slipping his hand from around Chloe's shoulders to grab her hand and lead her to the front





"Put out the closed sign, please!" Lana called as Clark and Chloe neared the front door of the building. Both of them laughed and Clark flipped the sign over, then led Chloe back to his truck.



"So, even though this isn't a dark back room..." Clark started, leaning towards Chloe.
