Clark came back into the hospital room carrying a cup of water and handed
it to Sherry. Lana didn't say anything, she had a shocked look on her
face, Clark noticed.
"Lana, you okay?" Clark asked looking at her as he sat down.
"Yeah....actually, I have a bit of a headache, would you mind taking me home?" she asked.
"Yeah...sure." He said a little confused.
"I'll see you later guy's. Thanks for the water Clark." Sherry said, and the two exited the room, and Sherry lay there in the hospital bed and turned her head back looking out the window.
As Clark pulled out of the hospital, Lana had her head leaned against the window.
"Lana, you okay?" He asked turning his head looking over at her and trying to keep his eyes on the road at the same time.
"I'm fine Clark, I just have a little headache, that's all." She said, still keeping her head against the window.
Clark knew, judging by the way she was when she answered that she wanted to be left alone.
He dropped her off at home and she gave him a short wave goodbye and he drove back home. As Lana stood there watching Clark drive away, someone was watching her. And taking pictures of her every move, even as she just stood there. He kept taking pictures. He wore a black sweatshirt with a hood over his face and black framed sunglasses. On the ground below him was a thermos and an empty sandwich baggy with just a spec of green dust inside. After taking thirty or so more pictures, he picked up his thermos and drank the contents. He vanished.
Lana walked inside and up into her room. She was exhausted. The news she found out at the hospital scared her, she didn't know what to do. All she could think of was calling Chloe.
"Hello?" Chloe asked, sounding cheerful as always.
"Chloe, it's Lana. I just got back from the hospital."
"Is Sherry gonna be okay?"
"Yeah, she's a lot better, the doctors tell us she can leave within the next few days."
"That's good. For a second there it looked like she wasn't gonna make it." Chloe said, and there was a short pause.
"Chloe, Sherry told me something, after Clark left to get her some water."
"What did she say?" Chloe asked with a little curiosity.
"Well, when she was telling us about the attack, she said the person was invisible. She couldn't see him."
"Sounds like something for the wall of weird."
"Chloe, just listen." Lana said starting to get irritated.
"Okay, okay, the wall of weird can wait."
"She said it was *him*." Lana said.
"Him? What are you..." Chloe began, but stopped when she realized. "What? You can't be serious." Chloe said, sounding shocked.
"She told me she could remember what he said to her. 'One down, two to go.'"
"Lana, can I call you back." Chloe asked, the cheerful sound in her voice gone.
"Yeah." Lana understood Chloe needed time to think. That she needed time to deal with what was happening by herself. And the two hung up.
Chloe sat on her bed and threw herself back, staring up at the ceiling. Millions of thoughts went rushing through her head all at once. *It can't be him, it just can't be. What am I going to do? He tried to kill Sherry, now he's after me and Lana. This can't be happening. Tell me this isn't happening. Okay Chloe, you're in a bad dream, you're gonna wake up anytime now. Just pinch yourself now and you'll wake up. Ouch, why did that hurt? If I was in a dream it wouldn't hurt. Chloe, you need to accept this, this is happening. He's after you. And he's going to try and kill you.*
