Clark raced home. He knew he was breaking at least 100 traffic laws, but he didn't care. When he finally reached the house he threw the truck into park and raced inside. "MOM! DAD!" he yelled as he tore through the door.

"Clark what is it?" his mom asked when she rushed into the living room. "Where's Rory?" she asked then saw the look on his face.

"Clark, what happened?" His dad asked, he too had noticed the expression of fear and worry on Clark's face.

"He got her. I went to get coffee, she said it was too crowded and she'd wait outside and he got her." He mumbled as he collapsed on the couch.

"Who? Who got her?" his mother asked. After several minutes of confusion Clark was able to relay the story to his parents. "Are you sure it was this Jess guy? It could have been anyone." His mother asked after Clark had told them the story.

"It has to be. I mean who else could it have been? The guy has threatened her before." Clark said when the phone rang. He raced over to it and prayed it was her. "Hello?"

"Clark." Rory whispered on the other end.

"Rory! What happened? Where are you?" he asked

"It was Jess, he used some kind of ether to knock me out and when I woke up I was here." She continued whispering.

"Do you know where you are? Can you see anything outside?" he asked.

"Um. it's a big building it looks like and old factory. And there are a bunch of green rocks all over the place. There's a window but all I can see is the tops of trees. That's all I can tell you." She whispered. "He's coming back! I gotta go! He doesn't know I have a phone. Hurry Clark, I'm really scared." She whispered and was gone.

"Wait! Rory! Rory!" Clark called into the receiver, but she was gone.

"What did she say?" Jonathan asked.

"It was Jess, he took her." Clark said as he sat and put his head in his hands.

"Did she say where she was?" Jonathan asked as Martha tried to comfort her son.

"Uh, she said it looked like an old factory, and it was surrounded by trees and. wait!" Clark said suddenly knowing where she was. "It's the cement factory. Out by where Greg Arkin's." Clark said and started for the door.

"Wait Clark, let's wait for the police, you can't just run out there alone." Jonathan said.

"Why not? By the time the police get there she could be. I don't know something could happen to her. We both know that the police have no chance." He said looking to his father for understanding.

Knowing that he was defeated and that his son was right Jonathan nodded his head. "Just be careful, please." And Clark was gone.

Within minutes Clark was in front of the old factory and he could already feel the effects of the kryptonite inside. But the thought of Rory alone and scared pushed him forward. He used his x-ray vision to look inside and survey the scene.
