Clark reached the doorstep of 3904838 U-Steakase Court and knocked. When no one answered, he quietly opened the door and looked inside. Then he quickly scanned the room with his X-Ray vision. There was no sign of anyone downstairs. Then he looked up and scanned the second floor. Still no sign of Lana or Devon. Not giving up, Clark decided to look for clues. While picking up little bits of fibers left on the ground, Clark soon came across a familiar dark red lipstick. It was Lana's lipstick! As he scanned the room he found the lipstick in, he noticed a drawer next to him that seemed to be full of stuff. Opening it, he found a lot of Lana's belongings. He quickly put them all inside a plastic bag. After emptying the drawer, he came across a bomb inside the drawer. 5...4...3... Clark quickly zoomed out of the house....2...1...BOOM!!!!! By the time the bomb blew up, Clark was already a mile away. Then he quickly raced back to make sure nobody was hurt.
"Clark! Where on Earth have you been?"
"Sorry Chloe. I.. um.. I went to Pete's house and we both went over to check out that address that you gave me."
"Oh.. but I heard that the place blew up about 20 minutes ago. Are you okay?"
"Um..yea. Pete and I left way before that happened."
"Ok..... Clark.. You are the man of mystery. So, what have you got in those bags?"
"Oh yes, uh.. Chloe, I found a few fibers and a lot of Lana's belongings in that house. I was hoping that you would send them to someone who can examine them."
"Sure. Um.. come back here 2 days from now and I should have the examination results ready for you."
"But I thought it usually takes a week to get it examined."
"Clark, you have no clue what I can do. Trust me." 2 days later.........
"Chloe, I'm here for my results... Um.. Chloe? What's wrong?"
"Get away from me, Clark."
"What is it Chloe? What happened?" Clark tried to come nearer to Chloe. Chloe backed away.
"GET AWAY!!"
"Chloe?" Chloe pointed at a yellow envelope. Clark looked inside and took out a piece of paper. On it he read:
Lab results indicate that Clark Kent is possibly the kidnapper, for
the strange markings we found on the clothes matched him. Please
approach him with caution
Miss Sullivan. If he does something, let us know. We'll take him into
custody. The pictures below did indeed have markings like the ones on his hand.
"Chloe, you know I didn't do this."
"I really don't know what to believe anymore, Clark."

"So the lab results say that you are a possible suspect? Clark, what do you think happened?" asked Martha, concerned.
"I don't know. All I know is that I've been framed. But how did Devon do it? All they found on Lana's belongings were my handprints. I didn't even touch her belongings with my bare hands! I used gloves when I picked them up!"
"Look, Clark, I promise you that we'll get this straightened out. Just don't give up son." reassured Jonathan.
