"I can't tell you anything about where I get my merchandise. It's a consumer confidentiality." The shopkeeper looked worried.
"Look, Mr. Wallis, I don't want to cause any trouble.Lex." Clark looked up as Lex Luther chose that moment to walk in. The shopkeeper grew more distressed.
"Mr. Luther. What can I do for you?"
"Well, first of all, you can tell my friend Clark the answers he is looking for."
"But, sir," the shopkeeper complained, "there's this confidentiality."
"Now, Mr.Wallis, is it? I know that Clark would not want to make you do something illegal. I don't have to remind you who my father is."
Mr. Wallis looked around and finally said, "Alright, I found all my merchandise by the side of the road about 10 years ago. I finally had enough money to open up my own shop and I still had all this junk just sitting around in my attic. I figured, what the heck, and decided to use these as my opening displays."
Clark explained how he believed Ms. Walum had died from the ring and how Lana was sick and getting worse. Lex looked skeptical.
"Are you telling me that there is something in this merchandise that is sucking the life out of its owners?"
Clark persisted. "Stranger things have happened, Lex."
"Ok, Clark, I give up. Mr. Wallis, how much will it take to destroy all this merchandise and start from scratch?"
Mr. Wallis looked outraged. "Are you kidding me? I'm not going to give up what I've worked so hard for all my life just for some stupid kids."
Lex pulled out his wallet. "Now, Mr. Wallis, I didn't say that you would not be reimbursed." He handed him a wad of 100 dollar bills. "I'm sure that's enough to buy new merchandise."
Suddenly, Chloe ran in. "Clark! It's Lana. She's.going to die." Clark and Lex rushed out.
