Chapter 6. Farewell the freaky eye dance.


Lex was working from home, he sat at his computer going through some figures. Well, he was trying to, but not really making any progress. It was most unlike him, he couldn't focus his mind, on work, that is. His mind seemed to have no trouble focusing on another subject, one that he really knew that he shouldn't be focusing on, but just couldn't seem to help himself. Mmm, Chloe.....' Lex gave himself over to his daydream, resigned to the fact that he wasn't going to get his work done at the moment. He imagined himself kissing his way down her neck, taking little nipping bites of her oh so sweet skin. The little moaning noises she was making were driving him crazy, and he made his way down to her chest. He paused for a moment to run his hands up her sides, bringing his hands up to cup her breasts, and then carrying on his path of fiery kisses towards her nipple. Oh Lex, yes......'.

*RING RING RING RING* The loud noise of his phone ringing incessantly rudely awakened him from his very pleasing daydream. Fuck, just as I was getting to one of the good bits, whoever is on the end of that phone better have a damn good reason to be calling me.' thought Lex as he roughly picked up the phone and barked a curt response.

Now son, irritated already, and you didn't even know it was me calling you. I don't suppose you have developed psychic abilities from your stay in smallville have you? Lionel's smug chuckle slunk down the phone line and made Lex even more pissed off.

Dad, how wonderful to hear from you, and you know better than to ask stupid questions, I mean, as if I'd let on that I had any special Abilities', wouldn't want to give away such things now would I? Lex let sarcasm drip from his voice, and wondered why his farther had called this time.

I wanted to see you about something son, it's quite urgent, I need you to drive to metropolis immediately. Lionel replied in an even tone.

Fucker, what is it you want now. Probably some ridiculous waste of my time, another hoop to jump through, wait until I kill you off you old bastard, just wait.' Of course Dad, I'll be seeing you soon. with that Lex hung up, sighed and stood, mentally readying himself for a meeting with his farther.

*********************************

Meanwhile, across town, The trio of friends drew up to a sedately painted house with a range of long pale blue sheds in a tidy row off to one side, the last one was burnt down though. The crisply painted sign read almost the same as the bag that Clark had found in the trash, Madam Freeda's Speciality Organic Mushroom Farm'. This looks like the place guys, lets check it out. Chloe stopped the car and they all piled out. Walking up to the door of the house, Chloe knocked politely and waited to see if there would be an answer.

They heard someone move inside and the door was slowly unlocked and opened. Before them stood Madame Freeda in all her magnificent normal glory. The three of them blinked in surprise when they took in her worn dungarees, plain green shirt, tidy brown hair drawn back into a short pony tail and warm blue eyes. She smiled kindly at them, Hello their kids, what can I do for you? Chloe just looked at her. A seeming replica of Mrs Kent was not what she expected at all when she had thought of Madame Freeda. Wizened old hag cackling insanely over a bubbling concoction of meteors, yes, kind and normal 30 something, no.

Er, hi, my names Chloe Sullivan, and this is Pete and Clark. Um, we were wondering if we could see some of your mushrooms, you were recommended to us by a friend in town, said your mushrooms were the best. ok, that wasn't my best lie ever, I should have thought a bit more about this,' mused Chloe as she saw Freeda smile and open the screen door and walk out to them.

Sure, come round to the mushroom sheds and I'll show you all the different varieties I have, was there anything in particular you were looking for? Madame Freeda voice filled with excitement as she spoke about her passion in life, Mushrooms.

Um, not really, we where just sorta hoping to browse, and see what turned up. Chloe replied as they followed Freeda to the blue sheds.

Upon Freeda opening the first shed door, the three friends noticed that it tripped a light switch, making the dim over head lights illuminated the damp shed. Row upon row, floor to ceiling were racks of mushrooms, happily growing away in the dark damp conditions.

Well, this is the Button shed, it has all the varieties of small or button mushrooms. Those on the left are great for breakfast frying, lovely nutty tang when cooked with olive oil. Oh and those on the low racks in the middle, with the slight pinkish edge, chopped raw and put in salads, just wonderful. But all these varieties are good general users as well. Freeda babbled on to Chloe, Pete and Clark as she lead the through each shed in turn.

As they neared the last shed, Clark began to feel sick, and he X-rayed the last shed and unlike the other sheds saw faint traces of meteor rocks in the soil racks. his eyes widening, he looked to where the burnt shed stood and paled as he saw a lot more meteor rocks. Um guys, I just remembered we may have left the car radio on, we don't wanna get a flat battery or anything, so I go check, see you in a minuet. Clark did give the others a chance to reply as he hurried away from the sheds.

Chloe shrugged and Pete threw a worried glance over to the back of his retreating friend. I never knew that there was so many types of mushroom, and boy there is more to mushrooms than meets the eye, Chloe commented after trying to retain all the facts and tips that freeda was happily reeling off to them nineteen to the dozen.

As they left the last shed, not seeing hide nor hair of the meteor mushrooms, Pete noticed that the sparkly colours in his vision was gone. Yes! hopefully this means no more hideous visions, I have to tell the guys when we leave Freeda's'

So, and can I just say wow, you have a lot of mushrooms! But what happened to that last shed? Chloe tried to work in an inquiry about the last shed into the conversation, it just seemed suspicious, burnt to the ground like that.

Ahh, yes. I was devastated to lose it. It was my hybrids and experimentals shed,Freedas happy smile fell when she turned to look at the remains of the last shed. I have been working for years, trying to make the perfect mushrooms, and I was so close. I had combined together some very rare varieties for flavour, then bread them with some quick growers and wild strains. I had just got my first test batch out when electrcals went wrong and burnt it all down, I was lucky to be hear, I could have lost all my sheds! Freeda put her hands on her hips and sighed, thinking about the loss of her beloved mushrooms was getting her down.

Well, thanks for the look around, I was wondering if I could get some of those frying mushrooms you mention first of all, my dad loves his breakfast! Chloe said, trying to cheer up Freeda. And what happened to the test batch, couldn't you start your breeding from them again?

Yes, of course, come up to the house. I have all my ready produce inside. freeda then paused as she contemplated Chloe's question. You know, I have been looking everywhere for them, I cant find them anywhere. I have this horrid suspicion that I may have sold them by mistake, and though there is nothing poisonous to them, I had yet to test them out.

********************************

Lex drove over the speed limit as usual as he drove out of Smallville, his mind on what his father could be plotting now. So he didn't give any thought to the black van that was approaching his car from behind. But he did feel the jolt and bang of his rear tire blowing out. Desperately trying to keep control of the vehicle, Lex looked into his rear view mirror just in time to see the man with the rifle lean back into the side of the van, before his car lost control and flipped.

The men, all dressed in black, hopped out of the van and pulled the unconscious lex from what was left of his car and bundled him into the back of the van.

TBC.....
