KENT FARM
Jonathan and Clark were working on the chores when Martha came out dressed. "Mom where you going so early?" Clark asked.
"I'm gonna go get Chloe and Lana and we're gonna go check on Jacey. Maybe see if we can take a movie in there and watch it." Martha said.
"Sounds nice. Please tell her that me Lex and Pete will come see her later." Clark said.
"I will. Jack get off to his meeting?" Martha asked.
"Yeah." Jonathan said.
"Well I am off. I'll be back sometime soon." Martha said kissing Jonathan and going to her car.
"Dad what aren't we getting?" Clark asked
"I don't know son." Jonathan said sighing.
"Why would Lionel hire that guy to take Jacey out of the picture." Clark asked.
"I have no idea. I think right now we need to let Lex work on Lionel and see what comes up." Jonathan said. Clark nodded but still wasn't settled on the idea.
SAME TIME
GOVERNOR MANSION
Jack got out of the car and got his briefcase out. He walked up and rang the doorbell. The door opened to a maid. "May I help you?" She asked.
"Yes I am here to see Governor Welk. Jack Jennings." He said.
"Just a moment sir." She said leaving the foyer.
As soon as she left Helen Welk came out of the east wing. "Jack!" She said excitedly.
"Hi Helen." Jack said accepting her hug.
"Jack I thought I heard your voice." Tom said coming from his study.
"Yes sir you did. I hope I ain't late for the meeting." Jack said.
"No not at all. Umm before we go in there tho. I'd just like to say me and Helen heard about the shooting. How's Jacey doing?" Tom asked.
"She's holding up, Had a bit a devastating blow handed to us yesterday." Jack said.
"Oh my. I would love to go see her. I know Johnny would too." Helen said.
"Well when I'm done with the meeting I am gonna head over to the hospital if you like to go I'd be more than happy to take you with me." Jack said.
Tom piped up. "Why don't we postpone this meeting. It's just you and me anyways. I would love to see the girl as well." Tom said.
"Alright. Think Johnny wants to go?" Jack asked.
"Definitely let me run get him." Helen said of their 16 year old son.
Tom looked at Jack. "What was the set back?" Tom asked.
"She may never walk again." Jack said.
"Oh my. Any word on who did it?" Tom asked.
"There's some leads. But nothing but circumstantial evidence." Jack said.
"If there is anything I can do please let me know. Jacey is a sweet girl. She didn't deserve this." Tom said.
"Thank you." Jack said when Helen and Johnny came down the stairs.
10: AM
METROPOLIS MEDICAL CENTER -JACEY'S ROOM
Jacey was laying in the bed flipping channels. Trying to not think of the soreness in her stomach. She was jerked from her thoughts when a soft knock came on the door. "Mind some visitors?" Martha asked.
"Hi. Not at all. Who'd you bring?" Jacey asked.
"Chloe and Lana. Clark wanted me to tell you that him Lex and Pete would be by later on." Martha said pulling a few chairs into the room with her.
"Ok. Hi girls." Jacey said.
"Hi. I'm sorry about what happened to you." Chloe said.
"Thanks." Jacey said.
"How are you feeling?" Lana asked sitting down beside Chloe.
"Sore. Very sore. Other than that fine." Jacey said.
"Doctor come look at you yet?" Martha asked.
"Not yet. Probably will soon tho." Jacey said.
"Well we brought a movie for us to watch. Hot guys getting umm wet." Chloe said.
"Yummy." Jacey said laughing and holding her stomach.
"No laughing." Chloe said.
"Don't have to tell me twice." Jacey said. Martha popped the move in the portable DVD she brought and handed Jacey the remote.
"Ok start it." Lana said.
HOUR LATER
The girls were to the glorious part of the movie when a knock came on the door. Martha hollered for the people to come in. "Hey Ladies." Jack said stepping into the room with people behind him.
"Hey Jack how did your meeting go?" Martha asked.
"Canceled. But that's ok I wanted to come see my girl." Jack said going around Martha to get to Jacey's side.
"Dad why did Governor Welk cancel?" Jacey asked laying her head back on the pillow.
"Cause I wanted to come see a friend. Well we did." Tom Welk said.
"Governor Welk so nice to see you." Jacey said.
"It's good to see your spirits up. How are you feeling?" Helen asked coming over.
"Very sore. " Jacey said noticing Johnny behind his mother. "Hey Johnny." Jacey said.
"Hi. Mom can I have money for the soda machine?" Johnny asked.
"Sorry about this he seemed eager to come this morning." Tom said as Johnny left the room.
"Understandable. Dad you're being rude." Jacey said to Jack.
"How so?" Jack asked startled.
"Um introducing Martha and the girls to the Governor and his wife would be nice." Jacey said smirking.
"Sorry everyone Jacey informed me of my rudeness. Governor and Mrs. Tom Welk this is Martha Kent Chloe Sullivan and Lana Lang." He said.
"Jack you really should keep her on your team. She keeps you in line." Tom said shaking the women's hands.
"I plan to. Has the doctor been in?" Jack asked.
'No." Jacey said flatly.
Tom looked at Jacey. "Did Jack tell you I went to my friend's cabin and he shot a 9 point deer?" Tom asked.
"No he didn't. Body weight good?" Jacey asked.
Tom laughed and turned to the other people in the room. "This is the only 15 year old who knows about deer hunting and not grimace. Remember when Jack first took you to the cabin?" Tom asked.
"Ah yes. It's where I impressed most all of the men there. You included." Jacey said.
"True true. Well like I told Jack. If there's anything I or Helen can do just let me know." Tom said.
"Thanks. Take this guy and make him eat please is a start." Jacey said.
Martha laughed. "Us girls have to watch out for our guys huh?" She asked.
"Yep." Jacey said.
"Alright I see I a outnumbered. Governor since my daughter has graciously offered you as my babysitter care to join me?" Jack asked.
"Certainly. Wouldn't wanna be on Jacey's bad side. I seen what she could do with a gun." Tom said. Jacey smirked and watched as Jack walked out of her room very reluctantly. She wished she could take the guilt from him but she couldn't.
