"Clark...yea, I'm here with Lana... we we're about to close up and head over to the farm, how's Chloe...she's what?"
"What?" Lana asked.

-------------------------------------------

In the shadows...
Benji purred looking at the two people standing there.

-------------------------------------------

"Clark said Chloe in a hospital on the borderline of Smallville and Metropolis."
"Is she o-k?"
"She's fine. He said Pete and his parents are heading towards the hospital."
"Well, I'm heading there too."
"Clark, Lana and I" he continued as Lana turned hearing a purring noise, suddenly she turned to find Benji standing behind them.
"Lex?"
"What?" Lex turned. "Clark, I'll get back to you."

-------------------------------------------------------

"What? Lex...Lex." he then heard Lana scream and a growl.

---------------------------------------------------------

The Hospital Entrance...
Clark came to the Entrance as Pete and the family came in.
"Clark." Martha said hugging him.
"Look, Chloe's o-k, they've flushed the drug out of her system but there keeping her over."
"Good." Jonathan said.
"But I have to go, Lex called and I think him and Lana are in trouble."
"Come on then let's go."
"No, I can get there a lot faster, you stay here and watch over Chloe." Suddenly the Doctor came over to Clark.
"Mr. Sullivan, are you leaving?" Jonathan looked at Clark confused.
"Yea, I need to take care of business but I'm leaving my father and mother...Mr and Mrs. Sullivan and my brother...Pete." The Doctor looked confused at Clark.
"He's adopted."
"Oh, well, I'll should you to her room."
"Thank you." Jonathan said following the Doctor. Martha grabbed Clark's hand.
"Be careful, honey." Clark headed out the doors fast, as everyone continued a little boy looked at Clark run out fast.

----------------------------------------------

"Look, buddy, Max tricked you all, we can help, I can help just leave Lana and I alone." Lex said as he held Lana behind him. He had scratches on his arm and face.
"Max, is gone."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean Max is gone, I got rid of him. Anyway, I'm not here to attack you, I'm here to catch a ride. Chloe Sullivan is the only one who can tell us the cure."
"Chloe, but she's in the hospital."
"Didn't you say she was doing fine."
"Yes, with help from Doctors, just as you need help. Come on, I can take you to the hospital we see what they can do and get you back in shape."
"No, your lying."
"Is he?" a voice said.
"Clark, get back."
"It's o-k, Lex, you get Lana out of here, I believe I have the answer his problem."
"Clark?"
"Get her out of here." Lex grabbed Lana and headed out towards the backroom once in there Lex stopped, he turned Lana back.
"What?" Lana said.
"Well, we know where he got rid of him at."
"We can go upstairs."
"O-k." they walked there a door and headed up.

Back in the coffee house...
Clark stood looking at Benjamin who was angered.
"Look, Chloe was put in a hospital, they had to flush the drug out of her system, Lex was right."
"It's too late for me."
