"Samantha, are you okay? What happened?" Clark asked, Chloe opened her mouth to blurt out this new story, but Sam shot her a look. Chloe understood immediately.
"Clark, can you excuse us for a moment?" Chloe asked, giving him her best attempt at a smile.
"What happened?? Who's hurt??" Clark demanded, his mind racing with worry.
"Go Clark!" Chloe wanted to know, and she wanted to know now. She knew Sam wouldn't say anything if Clark still stood there, so she had to yell it.
"Fine... I will be waiting outside..." Clark mumbled. He slammed the door and then stood outside the room, using his super-hearing to listen in. He knew it was wrong, but he could tell by their faces something was up.
"Listen, Chloe, I don't know what happened. I was so interested in finding out what the rocks were, I didn't know it would hurt me." Sam tried to explain, unsure if she could tell Chloe, or if she should make up some bull story.
"Hurt me?" "Meteor Rocks?" Does she mean Kryptonite? Where did Chloe get Kryptonite, and why would she keep it in there if she knows I don't like it? And why did it hurt this Samantha girl? Clark pondered from outside the room
"If you have never lived here... or been around the rock, how can it hurt you like that?" Chloe questioned
"An allergy?" Sam asked, not mentioning how her mother said she came from the meteor shower.
"Find me someone with an allergy that causes the person to get weak and fall on the floor in pain from a distance, and it will be an option." Chloe said sarcastically, knowing it was no allergy to the rocks.
Sam sighed. "I know it's not an allergy, it was just a suggestion. I have never felt anything so painful..." Sam gasped, shuddering at the memory of that feeling. "I... have to go; I have to think about all this." She ran out the room, and turned to Clark, who was standing right outside the door.
She ran right down the hall and once she turned the corner, out of Clark's sight, she super-sped back to her apartment.
"SAM! WAIT!" Clark called out and ran after her, but she seemed to disappear when she turned the corner. He looked down the hall in confusion and ignored the growing feeling. Sam was not as she seemed. He didn't believe before, and he refused to let himself believe it now. He had to find out where she lived and had to straighten some things out.
"Clark!" Where did Samantha go?" Chloe asked, running up to him. He was staring down the hall with his face showing deep thought.
"I don't know, but you need to find out where she lives. I have some questions for her." Clark said quietly.
"I am just as eager to talk to her again as you are, but I do hope you weren't listening in." Chloe said, looking at him. She was angry for him pulling such a trick.
"Chloe, what she had to say meant something to me. I have to find her, I am sorry for eavesdropping, but I had to. I am so sorry" Clark mumbled, ashamed. He knew she knew he was listening in, and lying about it would only anger her more, and he needed to know about this Samantha Roberts. A dark feeling was telling him she was a trick from Jor-El, but he was far too curious.
