Lex finally arrived home alittle after midnight. He'd chosen to drive around for awhile after dropping Chloe off at her house. She'd told him to take her to his place first, to pick up her car, but he'd told her that he would make sure she had it tomorrow. She agreed, reluctantly.

He'd made a call, while driving, for a mechanic to pick it up and check it out. Lex had also promised a nice little bonus if he could have it fixed up and working well before tomorrow, the guy had agreed.

Lex made his way slowly towards the looming figure in the distance. During the day, the 'castle' looked quite magnificent. But, at night...it was somewhat...intimidating.

The sun had already dissappeared, but the moon made up for its absence, illuminating the night sky like some great lighthouse beckoning lost ships to enter its shores.

Walking up the steps, he reached for the knob, forgetting momentarily that it was locked. But, before he'd recalled that fact, his hand was already turning the handle. It was unlocked.
