For the next few days, Clark searched the whole city of Metropolis and Smallville, but each day, he found nothing, Without Chloe's help, he was close to giving up. After searching the whole city or Smallville and Metropolis for 7 days straight without sleep, Clark decided to go home and hope for a miracle. This wasn't really like him, but what other choice did he have? Searching the cities would be useless and he didn't think that Devon and Lana would be out of Kansas. Clark decided to trust his instincts and wait at home for another letter to come. That turned out to be the right choice because after another week, Clark received a phone call.
Clark and his parents were discussing what to do and how to save Lana when the phone rang.
"I got it!" yelled Clark. Racing across the hallway, he picked up the phone. "Hello?" he asked.
"CLARK!! Help!!! He's got a gun!" a familiar voice cried.
"Lana?!!?!?!??!!?!?!?! Where are you?"
"I'm at the Smallville Subway! Help!!!!!! He's catching up to me! AAAAAHHH!" screamed Lana out of breath. Clark motioned for Martha to come and talk on the phone. Then he zoomed out of the house.
"Clark?!?!?! Are you there????????" cried Lana.
"Lana? Clark is on his way over. You'll be ok." answered Martha.
Clark raced over to the subway. Soon enough, he saw Lana running for her life with a man carrying a shotgun behind her. Looking more closely, he saw that the man chasing Lana was... Pete! But how could that be? What about Devon? Suddenly, Clark heard a gunshot and Lana fell to the ground. Keeping on to that thought, he immediately ran over to Pete and knocked him out. Then he raced over to Lana and discovered that she had been shot in the arm. Blood was gushing out fast, so he raced her to the hospital. 2 DAYS LATER.. "Your friend's condition is improving rapidly. She's open for visitors now."
"Can I go see her?" asked Clark.
"Sure. Her room is #225." answered the nurse. Clark stood up and walked over to her room. He opened the door and stepped in.
"Hey Lana."
"Hi Clark." She turned her head and smiled at him.
"How are you?" He asked as he sat down. "How are you feeling?"
"I've felt worse." Lana smiled.
"So... um.. I don't mean to be snobby, but um... I was wondering if you could tell me who kidnapped you. I saw Pete chasing you with a shotgun. Was it him?"
"No. It wasn't."
"Are you sure? Pete's in custody right now."
"No!!! He's innocent!"
"But how...?"
"Clark, do you remember Tina?
"Yes. But what does that..."
"Look, Devon is Tina's long lost brother. Tina has the power to turn into people, but Devon has the power to actually become a person. I mean, change his DNA , and his handprints. Even write like them. Clark, he held me hostage in a cell underground, and he temporarily changed my appearance. See, the night I called you, I finally changed back, and when he opened the door to my cell, I escaped."
"Um... Lana, I got to go get Pete out of jail. I'll be back." He stood up and turned away.
"Clark..."
"Yeah?" He turned around to face her.
"I love you." Clark bent down and they kissed quickly. Then he stood up.
"I love you too. Bye."
