The next morning, Clark's neck was stiff from sleeping against the bench. The light from the barn window stung his eyes as he opened them.

"Clark?" He could hear a voice calling him. He quickly opened his eyes completely forcing himself to adjust. "Clark?" Lex came up the steps of the loft as Clark sat up against the bench, looking for Dana. "Where is she?" Lex stormed up and stood over Clark as he stood up. Clark looked around the empty loft. "Clark where is she?"

"She's gone," Clark looked out the window over the farm. He couldn't see anyone, anywhere.

"What do you mean she's gone Clark, where did she go?"

"I don't know, I fell asleep, she must have left this morning."

"Clark, she gave me her word, you were there when she did it," Lex all but yelled at him.

"I was also there when she was lying on that bed close to death. Lex give her a break, she's just recovering." Clark stood to face him.

"Is this why she up and left you in the middle of the night?"

"Lex, what's wrong with you, why are you so angry?"

"I've been sitting on my ass at home, waiting for some word or sign that everything is okay. I want to know what's going on Clark." Lex paced around the loft, constantly looking at the barn door.

"Where is all of this coming from, why are you so interested anyway?"

"I guess the questions is why aren't you as interested Clark?" Clark hesitated for a moment before answering.

"It's not that I'm not interested Lex, it's just that I don't want her to feel pressured about telling me anything, that's all."

"Well you better home that she comes back soon Clark, or I will send my people out to find her."

"She gave you her word, she'll come back to tell you. She wouldn't run out on it."

"I think you're hoping she just hasn't run out on you Clark." With that, he turned and headed down the stairs leaving Clark in his disappointing thoughts. Clark watched as Lex got into his sports car and sped off, leaving a cloud of dirt, dust and gravel behind. Clark sped into the house calling for his mother and father, who came down from their room.

"What is it honey, where's Dana?" His mother came down first with Jonathan following behind.

"She's gone, I woke up this morning in the loft and she was gone."

"Are you sure she just left, did you see anything strange before you fell asleep?" Jonathan stood beside him.

"No, nothing, but I'm worried that something could happen, Lex is going to have his people out looking for her soon."

"Lex?" Jonathan pulled his vest on.

"He was here, this morning, he woke me up looking for her in the barn. He was angry. I'm going to go and change and go out and find her," he yelled as he made his way up the stairs.

"Clark, I'll take the truck, you go ahead on foot, Martha we have to find her before Lex does." Jonathan kissed his wife and followed Clark who apparently had changed at super speed, out the door. As Jonathan started the truck, Clark took of towards the only place he could think that she would be.
