Chapter One : What A Call In The Morning Can Do
With the moonlight shining in over their bodies, his arm over her waist, they lay peacefully in spoon style. They were brought out of their night's rest by the loud, annoying sound of the alarm. It was 5:45AM and Chloe was in no mood to be waking up.
"Please Lex, just hit sleep again," she pleaded with him. "Seven more minutes, it won't kill you." Clearly, she did not want to get up and pulled her
pillow decidedly over her head.
"We have to get up," he told her while taking the pillow and planting little kisses over her face and neck.
"I know, but you could just keep doing this," she muttered. Their morning kissing was interrupted by the ringing of the phone.
"I think you need to get that."
"Why?" he asked with his head buried in her neck.
"Because if you don't, I will."
"Good point. Lex Luthor...yes, okay, what? No. no. Yes, I'll be there. All right, call him, I'll clear the rest of my day to...sure. Yeah, thanks for the call." He put the phone back down and let out a long breath.
"What's wrong?" Chloe asked.
"Oh that was your father--"
Chloe cut him off with "Leave it to him to interrupt us."
"I'm sure if he knew what we were doing, he would have been quite happy he made us stop."
They both let out a sigh and Lex continued to tell Chloe about his phone call with Gabe. "He said that there was a problem at the plant. No one was hurt badly, but five people are in the hospital, and..." Lex paused.
"I need to call my father. There is already a press conference set for three hours from now. Your father will be returning to Smallville in about an hour. And mine will be here about 45 minutes after that. I need to get to the plant to assess the damages."
"All right. Darn, why must my dad keep track of everything happening at the plant when he's at a conference?"
"That's just him," Lex told her with a little grin. "I guess."

It was overcast now. The rain had mostly subsided, but there was still a little mist in the air. The wind was blowing at around 20 miles per hour. Last night, the weather channel said 'sunny and still'. Well, that's what happens when my father comes to town, thought Lex, as he waited next to the helicopter's landing pad for his father's arrival.
Lionel Luther has landed, welcome to hell. Lex addressed his father flatly with "Hi, dad."
"Lex, would you like to tell me how the hell this happened?" Before Lex could open his mouth to answer, his father added, "I find it interesting that your plant was not even open at the time."
"No. There was some work being done that I did not feel I needed to be here for. However I did clear it. Now, to address what happened, some employees were mixing some new products together and there was an unexpected reaction. They got out of the room, but there was a fire, and five employees received minor burns and abrasions."
"I believe that you or Gabe are to be present when work is being done after hours, son."
"As I said, it had been cleared and I did not feel the need to be there."
'Leave it to my father to not have any concern for the employees. God, I hope he
does not push the matter of my absence any farther.'
"What kept you from being there?"
"It's not your concern."
"It is, Lex. I will be talking to the press in a little over an hour, I need a good reason."
"I was with some one." 'Yes, yes, Lex. Truth is good, just not too much of it.'
