Clark slowly slipped in the house trying to be as quiet as he could. He could see Lionel's chair sitting by the fire and saw Lionel over to the left of the room leaning against a glass table talking on his cell phone.
" No, that's not what I wanted. Yes, of course I care about my son's buisness. Well, it isn't my fault that my son is such a calamitator. The files should have been locked away at Luthor Corp. Obviously he doesn't trust me like he should."
" Mr. Luthor?" Clark butted in. He knew the Luthors were a very tense family and didn't want to over hear something he shouldn't have.
" Clark?" Lionel said putting his hand on the receiver and looking up. he took his hand off and said, " Yes, we'll talk later Crandal. Yes." He hung up the phone and placed in on the glass table. " Yes Clark? Is there something I can do for you? Because if it's Lex you wanted to see he's -"
" No, I wanted to talk to you - about DMX - and Lana."
" I don't see where this is going but do sit down and continue." Lionel said stretching out his walking stick as Clark sat down.
" Me and Pete found a note in the hide out that was on my property that included some meteor rocks. It says that the DMX know that the meteor rocks have some kind of value to the Luthors and Kents. I just wanted to know what would make it so valuable to you." Lionel smiled but still remained standing. " Clark, I'll give you my reason if you give me yours."
Clark hesitated. He definitely didn't trust Lionel with his secret. He knew the Lionel was predominant when it came to back-stabbing. He didn't want to lie to him either. He lied so much he thought he'd run out of excuses for everything. But when Lana's life was on the line, he couldn't be a coward and back down. He couldn't let DMX take over him just because he was afraid of telling Lionel a lie.
" We've just been experimenting with them on the farm. We think that they might help the soil." Lionel smiled once again and this time sat down. Clark slid to the edge of his seat.
" I think you're lieing, Clark." he said. " You have a nack for keeping your entire family hidden. But, I think I could tell you that the reason the Luthors consider the meteor rocks valuable is that we think it will soon tell more then it's told so far.
" The rocks didn't come from any ordinary meteor in the sky. They're quite abnormal." Lionel said standing up." I suppose you already knew that though, Clark."
" Mr. Luther I heard that they stole a file about them from Lex. Was there anything about Lana in it?" Clark said standing up as well.
" As you already know, Clark, my name isn't Lex so natuarly I don't know anything -"
" I talked to Lex and he said that you knew about it. I also overheard part of you're conversation on the phone before I said anything. You were talking about the file. You must know something." Clark figured he was putting Lionel on the spot, but just by looking at he facial expression you would've never guessed it. He was actually smiling slightly. " Clark, it seems you've befriended Lex for to long. It looks like he's rubbed off a little onto you."
" Just tell me." Clark said getting a little impatient.
" Yes, I did know about the file. It was about the many felonies that the DMX had done to the Luthors and believe me they've done plenty. Everytime we pressed another charged, they'd send us some e-mail about destroying our family. " At this Lionel began to laugh. " As if they had the power to do that."
" So?"
" So, finally they must have discovered that I was spending alittle to much on the meteor rocks and thought that if they stole the rocks and took the files of the felonies and where most of their hide outs were, they'd be able to get away with it. I suppose they just want punch the Luthors right between the eyes." Lionel smiled. " As if they could do that either."
" Okay, so why did they take Lana?" Clark said curiously.
" I have no idea as to why they did it. Personally, if I were you, I'd be more worried as to where she is now." Lionel said using his walking stick to find the glass table and pick his cell phone. " If you don't mind, Clark, I have a personal call to take care of."
Clark walked out the door and out of the Luthor mansion. He sighed and thought, ' So far I've found meteor rocks, a note about DMX, visited the Luthors to find out some answers, but yet I've gotten absoluetly no where.'
He decided to walk home - like a normal human - today. The sun was setting, ending another day, and it was back to square one for Clark and his goal to find Lana - alive.
