Werewolf - 4
Martha came back to herself nearly an hour later, the lights of the office were off, it was night, and she was alone. The doors were lock, but she had to find Lionel, he could hurt somebody being as he was.
She went to the phone and dialed a number.
"Yeah?"
"Clark, is mum."
"Mum! Where're you!? I have been calling to your mobile phone for hours!"
"I'm sorry sweetheart, but I need you now…"
"What's the matter?"
"I'm in Lionel's office, and I'm closed inside…"
She didn't need to wait a lot of time, in less than ten minutes Clark was there opening the doors.
"Ok, I helped you, now you will explain me what are you doing here, and why were the doors closed"
Martha told to her son about Lex's experiment on his father, but she didn't tell anything about what happened the night before.
"…and I don't know where's he now… Clark, you have to help Lionel, he's not conscious of what he does during the night…"
"That's not our business, mum…"
"Please, sweetheart… Lionel have helped me too many times… he have helped our family without ask anything to us… Please, find him… for me…" begged Martha to her son.
"Ok mummy… but I will do it just for you…" and he disappeared and started to search Lionel at Metropolis' streets. But maybe, the first place he should have look for him would be the Luthor Corp.
Martha was going to the stairs, to help his son on his research, when Lionel appeared from the elevator.
"How could you escape from the office?!" asked him "I closed the doors!"
"I was worried about you… where have you been?" asked Martha more worried about what have he done, than about him.
"I visited Lex, he challenged me this morning, and I wanted to scare him a little…" he smiled, while he grasped her arm and pull her inside again.
"What have you done, Lionel?!" asked Martha scared while he pushed her on a chair.
"Well… I haven't killed him if that's what you want to know…" he began to laugh, but he stopped when Martha's mobile phone rang. He searched in her bag, and he took it.
"It's your son" he said, reading the name in the little screen "Let's answer him..." and he left the phone on the table with the hands free.
"Hi…" she said, a little nervous, because she felt Lionel's cold hand on her neck.
"Hi mum! Listen, I have been looking for him, but I haven't find him anywhere… I need more clues about where he can be…"
"Don't worry, sweetheart… Lionel's here…"
"What?!" exclaimed Clark.
"Hi Clark! How are you?"
But Clark had already cut down the call.
"Well… I think that he's coming with us, so we will have to prepare a surprise for him…" he opened the security box, and inside there was a little metal box, which he took a kryptonite piece from.
"What are you going to do with this?"
"Defense myself"
"Hurting my son?"
"If it's necessary, yes"
"Forget it, please! Why don't we go out from here…? We don't need to wait him…"
But just then Clark came inside, and Martha stood up to advice him, but Lionel grabbed her shoulder and took her back to her sit.
"Hello Clark…" said Lionel kindly.
"Mum, are you ok?"
"Clark, run away! He have kryptonite!"
