ON WITH THE STORY!
Clark looked up at his dad in astonishment. "WHAT?!? He said I tried to KILL him?"
Clark's father took Martha's hand and said, "Now, son, you know you can tell us the truth. We're your parents."
Clark grew irritated and looked at his watch. "It's only 8:30! I can't lie to you! Remember my wish? Clark felt something was wrong, but he just couldn't put his finger on it. Finally, he realized what it was. "How did Lex lie? Is there something faulty with my wish?" He groaned. "Why is this all so confusing?"
His mom thought for a minute and snapped her fingers. "I know! He never actually SAID you threatened to kill him, he wrote it all down."
Clark tapped his fingers on the car's dashboard. "So there's a loophole? Lies cannot be said, only written?"
His dad nodded. "I guess so."
The family continued towards home in silence until Jonathan turned into the driveway of the farm.
Clark got out of the truck and turned around to face his parents.
"Is it okay if I go talk to Lana and Chloe? They must be wondering where I am by now."
His parents looked at each other worriedly and his mom said, "I don't know, Clark. Look what happened today when we let you leave."
"Mom, you know I never did anything. Lex is . . ." Clark thought of an appropriate word to describe his friend. ". . . different. And that's all I can say about that right now."
Once again, his parents sent each other a look and then his dad sent him an uneasy smile.
"I guess we can let you go out. Just be careful, ok? And we mean it."
Jonathan started to hand Clark the keys, but Clark refused. "No thanks. I think I'll just walk."
Clark turned on the super speed and was standing in front of the Talons huge front doors a few minutes later. He took a quick scan around the place, just to make sure he wouldn't run into Lex anytime soon.
The place was hopping. Clark looked for Lana but all he could see were the tops of people's heads. He finally spotted Chloe and threaded his way through the mob to meet her behind the counter.
She looked up and gave a shaky smile.
"So, it's the infamous Clark Kent. How was your first time in the slammers?"
Leave it up to Chloe to try and make light of the situation.
She put down the tray of drinks she was holding and leaned over to give him a hug.
"Clark, don't you ever do that again! Do you know how dangerous that place is?"
He returned the hug and stepped back.
"Do you think I wanted to be put in there? Lex was the cause of all of it."
Chloe gave a 'tsk-tsk' sound and said, "I know, I know, Lana told me all about it."
"Speaking of Lana, where is she?"
Chloe looked around quickly and said, "I think she's in the back. Maybe you can go . . ."
She was interrupted when Lex came crashing through the double doors of the Talon.
Lex saw Clark and yelled, "KENT! I HEARD you were out!"
Without another word, Lex took a swing at Clark and popped him cleanly in the jaw.
Clark knew he had to fight back, but he was feeling a little dizzy. Maybe it was because of the green stone glowing brightly in Lex's hand . . .
A/N: I hope this chapter lived up to your expectations! Please leave a review and tell me what you thought about it. Poor Clark, what will happen next? When will this day of his nightmares end? And where is Kelly Price??? Find out about all this and more in the next installment of "Be Careful What You Wish For!"
