Not completely sure where this is going so bear with me okay.
Chapter 11
Clark felt the beads of sweat on his forehead start to fall down his cheeks in a desperately slow action as the bullet fired from the gun. He had still refused, feeling that he would not have been able to live with himself if he had given them up. Clark got up from the table with every once of will power any vulnerable being can muster and jumped out of the way of the bullet. The agent came into normal speed again, and Clark watched the shock look come over his face from the floor. He looked at Clark, trying to find an explanation, but there was only one.
"It seems we really underestimated you, Mr Kent," he said, leaving the room quickly.
Clark knew then, that he was never getting out of here. He just hoped his parents and all his friends would be okay.

Chloe was careful not to alert any of her teachers of her not being in class. She wouldn't be much help if she were in detention.
'Wait a minute,' she thought to herself. 'That's where Clark was last'.
She remembered waiting for him outside class yesterday and seeing him go off to Mr White's office. That's where she was headed.
When she got to his room, she knocked on the door tentatively. When no one answered, she tried the handle. It was locked. Chloe got a hairpin out, quickly unlocking the door. She'd learned that trick of her cousin. 'Thank you,' she thought to her self.
Slowly, she stepped inside to take a look around. The room was completely empty. There was no furniture, almost like he had left. Maybe he really was going.
She stepped further inside the room and turned to look at anything that might be a clue. Out of the corner of her eye she saw what looked like writing on the far side of the room. She walked over to it and read Clark's message.
"Oh my god," she breathed.

"Have you seen Clark?" Isabel asked Lana, panic starting to set it. They were going to be too late.
"No, I'm sorry, I haven't seen him since yesterday. He wasn't at school today," she told them truthfully.
The three aliens exchanged worried glances.
"Thanks Lana," Max replied as the exited the Talon.
"What do we do now?" Michael asked.
"We'll try the Kent's. Maybe they know something about his disappearance," Max suggested. Then his mobile phone beeped.
It was a picture message from a number he didn't recognise. It showed Clark's message on the wall. Under it, were the words 'Meet me in Clark's Barn."

Mr White set the mobile on the table and sat back in his chair. Now it was on to stage two. Getting Clark out of the compound as bate. He new his boss would never agree to such a risk, but he had to get those other aliens. And this was the only way.
