A/N: I'm sorry I have been so lazy. Well, not lazy, just busy. Yes, I
admit it. I do have a life other than writing fanfic. But I'm sorry you
guys. Maybe if you reviewed more . . . (hint hint all you guys out there)
I am trying to get to 40 reviews you know!
One more A/N: I'm not quite sure where I'm going to go with this. I am just going to. . . write. Hope you like it!
ON WITH THE STORY!
Clark sat in the Metropolis City Jail with his head between his hands. They had at least put him in a single cell, since he was still a minor.
Clark once again asked himself when this day would end. He had learned enough. Now he just wanted to go back to the safety of his own world of half-truths.
A very worried voice yelled his name. "Clark!"
He looked up to see Lana rush into the jail. Lana got as close as she could to Clark, but was stopped by the cell bars.
Lana started crying. "Clark, did Lex do this?" After Clark's somber nod, she said, "Why? I mean, he is the one friend who has ALWAYS stood by you, no matter what."
Lana looked down at her hands guiltily. Clark reached out to take one of them in his own.
"Lana, it's not your fault. You gave the reaction that anyone would give in your position."
Clark wished he could wipe away her tears.
"Clark, there's something I need to tell you. About . . ."
Lana was interrupted when Clark saw his Mom and Dad rush up. His mom reached her hand out to him through the bars.
"Clark, son, how did this happen?" His dad had his arm around him mom's shoulders. Clark thought his mother looked suddenly very old, and frail.
Jonathan Kent was very concerned. He had been out in the field when Martha had rushed outside and told him that none other than LEX LUTHOR had gotten Clark arrested.
A lazy sheriff walked by and looked suspiciously at Clark's parents. "You the boy's guardians?" At their nod, he walked to the counter and picked up a thick stack of papers. "Fill these out. Since this is his first and hopefully last offense," the officer looked pointedly at Clark, "bail is $50. Next time, do not expect us to be so lenient."
Clark walked up and paced the small interior of the cell. He felt like the walls were slowly moving in on him and he couldn't stand it. He imagined what he could do to those bars if that officer would turn away for just a second. Clark shook his head to dispel the notion. This was not the best time to show ANYONE his powers.
After what seemed like an eternity but was really only 20 minutes, the officer creaked open the bars of the cell. With a large "whoosh" of air, Clark hurried out of the solitary room.
His parents rushed forward to hug him. Lana clung to him and wouldn't let go for a second. She surprised Clark, his parents, and even herself by kissing Clark soundly on the lips.
Clark looked startled at first, then held her closer as they walked out the door.
Jonathan leaned over and said, "We'll talk about what really happened in the car." He made sure to say it quietly enough as to not alert the officer still looking suspiciously at him.
The growing sunset greeted Clark like an old friend. He turned to Lana.
"Lana, didn't you have work to do at the Talon?"
She shook her head up and down. "It's okay, Chloe promised to cover for me. *IF* I gave her all the details about what happened. She was really worried about you." Lana squeezed his hand and he softly gave her a kiss. Lana continued, "We all were."
With one last goodbye, Lana turned and headed towards her car.
"Bye, Clark. Come to the Talon after you have talked to your parents, ok?"
It seemed as if Clark could not get through with this day fast enough.
"Now, son, what happened to you? Did you really do all those things that were filed in the police report? Did you threaten to kill Lex?"
A/N: Well, not exactly a cliffhanger, but a good ending of this chapter. Did Clark really threaten to kill Lex? And what did Lana have to tell him? For the last time, WHO is Kelly Price? Find out all these answers and more in the next installment of "Be Careful What You Wish For!"
