[Challenge 14: "Lex Takes a Holiday"
"Lex decides to get away from it all for a day or two. Maybe alone, maybe not. What does he do?"]
It was dark by the time Clark hauled them onto the sand. The southeastern Florida shore was sparkly with tourist attractions. Tacky, but Clark seemed entranced. Distant laughter drifted through the warm night.
Clark helped Lex stand, stiff from clinging to wreckage. "Guess you'll be heading back to Kansas," Clark said, eyes attracted to the gaudy lights of the nearby boardwalk.
"Aren't you?"
"Why? Florida has beaches and stuff. Disneyworld. All Kansas has is cows."
"And your parents?"
"What parents?" Then Clark looked at Lex and laughed. "Never thought a bald man could look so much like a drowned rat!" he hooted.
Lex swallowed. Clark had saved him again, but something was wrong. He didn't know what to do. After all, he had to start gathering information, and possibly planning vengeance against his wife. Wife. Oog.
"Can I tag along with you?" he asked.
