"Lana," Pete warned in a dangerously loud whisper. "Don't even go there," He knew exactly what Lana was thinking as he watched her eye the disk.
Hearing Chloe' yell at her supposed contact when he and Lana neared the meeting point, had alarmed them that something was up. Fortunately concealed by the dark, they crouched behind a window that looked into the room. While the glass was broken out, it was still draped with old blinds bent haphazardly from whatever destruction befell that particular part of the building. Both Pete and Lana crouched in the hallway outside, peering through the blinds and watching the events unfold; mindful to make the least amount of noise on the broken glass as possible. They were in agreement of needing to get to the car where Lana had left her cell phone and call for help - however, while peering into the room, they spied a certain disk that Ian had left on the desk.
Lana saw her chance when Clark and Chloe' were escorted into the adjoining room. She looked at Pete with an expression that said, "I'm sorry, I have to" and ignoring his advice, slowly moved out of her hiding place and towards the disk. As she neared the desk she peered into the next room and caught a glimpse of Clark receiving duct tape handcuffs by one crony while another stood guard with a gun pointed at Chloe'. Ian's back was to Lana as he barked out orders.
Clark's eyes locked with Lana's and immediately he knew what she was about to do. The disk was important, but not at the risk of her life. There was no way, though, that he could stop her with out Ian and his monkeys noticing; and he knew if he could, she would never listen. 'Lana can do this,' he told himself and pried his eyes away from her so the others wouldn't notice where he was looking.
Slowly and as quietly as possible, Lana picked up the disk. Once she had it in her hand, she turned slowly and took one step away from the desk and towards Pete.then another, then another.
Then the floor decided to creak.
Lana booked it. disk in hand.
Ian turned quickly, immediately looking through the doorway at the place he'd set the disk. Realizing what had just happened. "Get her!" he yelled.
The crony, who had been standing guard while his buddy taped up Clark, took off in Lana's direction. Pete, still just outside the first room, stuck his foot out into the doorway and sent the unsuspecting pursuer full speed into the hallway wall and then delivered a blow to the back of his head with a large board from a nearby broken shelf, knocking him out cold.
When the distraction automatically caused all eyes in the room to shift to the direction of Lana, this gave Clark a chance to act. As he broke free from the duct tape around his hands, he kicked the gun out of the second crony's hand, who had just grabbed it and was about to aim in Pete's direction. The gun went flying across the room landing on the floor and sliding under a metal cabinet.
The crony dropped to the floor in agonizing pain, his hand obviously broken by the strength of Clarks kick. Chloe', her hands not yet taped, quickly went after the lost gun. Meanwhile, Ian reached for his gun, and just as Clark focused his heat vision in the direction of it.Ian disappeared in a warped blurred flash. It seemed that Ian had obtained a new ability, or had one they didn't know about. Clark just prayed that he still wasn't able to split into two.
This didn't look good for Lana, as much as he wanted to just super-speed after her, Clark knew he had to first make sure Pete and Chloe' would be okay. He could see that outside of the first room, the crony was starting to gain consciousness but Pete now held his gun and prohibited him from going after Lana. After recovering the second gun and making sure that both cronies were securely held at gunpoint face down on the floor by Pete, Chloe' quickly dialed 911 on her cell.
"I'm going after Lana.you can handle this?" Clark asked Pete.
"Yeah.go get her." Pete answered; worried that even Clark wouldn't be fast enough against whatever strange powers Ian possessed.
"Clark!" Chloe' deep in conversation with the police dispatch realized what Clark was about to attempt on his own. She wasn't able, however, to finish her protest, for Clark was nowhere to be seen.
