Clark walked into the Talon and met with Chloe and Pete who were sitting in at the stools at the counter. He walked over to them. Pete turned around to face him. " Did Lex find anything?"
" Nope."
" What's the matter?" Chloe asked sensing the tensness in his voice.
" Nothing. It's just that Lex saw the gang drive off with Lana. I mean he didn't even stop." Clark said sitting down next to Chloe. " Well, he must've had his reasons, Clark. I'm sure he wouldn't just let some gang take off with Lana."
" Yeah." Clark said even though in his mind his had his doubts.
" Well, anyway, I think I found a little something for you to check up on." Chloe said pulling out a piece of paper from her bookpack. " It's the only info you can find on the internet about the DMX. Says here that the leader, Strike, was almost sued by Luthor Corp. because they tried to shut them down. Strike hid in one of his hide-outs though after trashing four employees cars and taking one hostage until a week later. No one has heard of him or any of the other gang members since. That was two months ago."
" I'd hide too if a Luthor was suein' me." Pete said looking at the document behind Chloe's back.
" So why would they all the sudden come out and kidnap Lana?"
" Maybe they knew she's partners with Lex in the Talon buisness. She might be the bait to try to get Lex to drop the charges." Clark wished he hadn't blown up at Lex like that. He might've been able to get some answers from him. " I guess I could try to talk to Lex about it. I doubt he'll say anything to me."
" Well, anything will help right now." Chloe looked at her watch. " I got to meet up with my dad and tell him what's going on. Catch you later."
" Just wish Lex had found something in that hide-out on my property." Clark told Pete after Choe left. Pete twisted his stool alittle." Did you check it out? I mean I think X-ray vision is just a little easier than a pick and shovel."
" You're right, Pete. I guess I was just so mad at Lex I didn't think to look in the place myself. " Clark got up and rushed out of the Talon shortly followed by Pete.
