A/N: Hey everyone, I finally found out how to format my story! Now it's not all squished together. I'm sorry if you had trouble reading the other chapters! R&R! I want to know what you think.

One week later…

Everyone in Smallville was still a little edgy after hearing about what happened to Tina that night a week before. The police department did their best to cover it up, but sometimes when you live in a town as small as Smallville, such a thing is not possible. However, no was as shaken up as Lana. She continued to work at the Talon to keep her mind off things, although being so close to the place where it happened only made things worse. Clark could sense this, so he would head over to see Lana every day to check up on her. In fact, that's what he is doing right now.

"Bye mom n' dad! I'm going over to the Talon!" Clark's powerful voice rang out through the Kent farm. He was answered by calls of "Ok Clark!", "Have you finished your chores?" and "Be careful!". Clark smiled knowingly, and sped over to the Talon.

He stopped just a block from the building and briskly walked down the quiet little street into Smallville's coffee shop. As soon as Clark opened the doors, he spotted Lana sitting in a corner, sipping a coffee and pretending to read the newspaper. She was nervously looking around at the people in the coffeehouse, wondering if any one of them could really be Tina. Clark walked over to her and said energetically " Hi Lana!" Lana jumped about half a foot, spilling coffee all down her shirt and exclaimed,

"Oh! Clark! Hi! Sorry, I'm a little jumpy right now." Clark immediately realized his mistake and attempted to make it up by running and fetching her a towel. When he returned, Lana gratefully accepted the towel and started mopping up the spilt coffee.

"Sorry about that." said Clark sheepishly.

Lana looked up and tried to make him feel better with one of her fake perfect smiles, "Don't worry about it Clark! I didn't like this shirt anyways." She sat back down and resumed looking around nervously. Clark pulled up a chair and sat down beside her.

"There's no point in thinking about it Lana," he said quietly, "What's done is done."

"What? Oh, no I wasn't thinking about that" said Lana, surprised. Clark smiled again, Lana was so strong and beautiful, she could cope with anything. "Ok then" he said, "Let's talk about something else. Why aren't you working right now?"

Lana resumed staring blankly at her paper, "I'm…I'm on my break right now" she said. Clark brightened up and said "Well, would you like to go on a walk with me then? Get some fresh air? It seems like you haven't been outside much lately." Clark was right, after finding out that Whitney had died, Lana had kept to herself mostly. Her way of coping with things was to work herself to the bone.

"Ok, Clark, I'd like that." Lana replied. "Great!" Clark said, "Let's go."

Lana and Clark walked down Smallville's main street, looking in different shops and talking about anything besides Tina. What the two didn't know, is that Tina was following them at that same exact moment. As she watched to two friends laughing and walking together a new plan was already forming in her devious mind.

Ooo what will happen? R&R if you liked, or didn't like this chapter!
