Clark and Lana sat in The Torch office talking about what each of them was
doing that weekend when Chloe came rushing in.
"Did you guys hear about Sherry Baker?" She said not caring about interrupting the two.
"No, what about Sherry?" Clark asked as him and Lana stood up at the hysterical Chloe.
"Someone broke into her house last night and tried to kill her. She's in the hospital, she's hurt pretty bad. She was thrown off her balcony in her house."
"Do they know who it was?" Lana asked with much concern.
"Nope. No fingerprints, no strands of hair, nothing." Chloe answered.
"That's terrible." Lana said sadly.
"I didn't know you knew her." Clark said.
"I did...well...Chloe and I knew her...back in Junior High, we were best friends. But then when we went to high school, we sort of went our separate ways. I tried out for cheerleading, started dating Whitney, Chloe became a part of The Torch, and Sherry just...became sort of a loner. We still would talked occasionaly if we passed each other in the hall..." Lana said letting her voice trail off.
"How 'bout after school I take you to the hospital?" Clark asked putting his hand on her shoulder for comfort.
"Thanks, that'd be good." She said, and the bell interrupted the trio's conversation and they went their separate ways to class.
The sun shined brightly, unlike the past week where there has been constant rain and storms. Clark pulled up to the hospital, Lana sitting next to him, and parked the truck. He moved around to the other side to open the door for her and she smiled at his politeness.
"Thanks for taking me here Clark." Lana said clinging an arm around Clark.
"It's no problem." He said giving her the smile she always loved.
After talking with a nurse, they found their way to Sherry Baker's room and saw she was awake, staring out the window.
"Sherry." Lana said walking over and sitting in the chair next to the bed, Clark pulled up another one next to Lana.
Sherry turned her head, looking surprised.
"Lana, Clark, what are you guy's doing here?" She asked, looking curiously at the two.
"We wanted to see how you were doing." Lana said, with a much concern tone in her voice.
"I've been better." She smiled, glad they were there.
"Do you remember anything?" Clark asked.
"Vaguely...I remember watching t.v, the storm was pretty bad outside, and I got tired so I went up the stairs to go to bed and than everything just went black."
"Did you see anyone?" Lana asked.
"Um...actually, I didn't...." She said, the look on her face showing she was trying to remember. "I remember being thrown down, and I could hear someone yelling at me, and when he picked me up I turned to see who it was, but there was nobody there. It's like they were...invisible." She said realizing how crazy she sounded.
"Invisible?" Clark asked, not sounding too surprised at how strange it sounded considering he's dealt with a bug boy, ice cold football player wanting body heat, a shape-shifting girl, and many others.
"I know it sounds crazy, but it's true. He was invisible, whoever he was..." she paused for a moment and started coughing and she began to talk again. "I'm a little thirsty, Clark, do you think you could get me a cup of water?" she asked trying to hold in from coughing again.
"Yeah, of course." He said smiling, and he got up and exited the room.
"Lana I know who it was." Sherry said the moment Clark stepped out of the room.
"Who was it?" Lana asked leaning forward knowing Sherry was trying to be secretive about it.
"It was *him*. From junior high." she said.
"What? Are you sure?" Lana asked in disbelief.
"Yeah...there was, something he said to me on how I knew it was him." Sherry said closing her eyes.
"What did he say Sherry?" Lana said in an almost whisper so no one else could hear them.
"One down, two to go."
