Lois turned to her cousin as they watched him out the window. "I dunno what happened, but something tells me things didn't work out for Miss Lang, and Mr. Farmboy." Chloe nodded. She wasn't happy that they were becoming more than friends, but she wasn't happy that Clark was so sad. She wanted to wait up for Lana, to see what was wrong, but if Lana wasn't home yet, their was a reason and she wasn't in the mood to talk.
Chloe closed the blinds, "So Lois, what movie shall we watch next?" Lois smiled "well, let's go check out the selection shall we?" The two cousins walked back arms linked, and found their place on the couch.
A mysterious man watched this young boy walk in the rain away from the Sullivan house hold from a black car. He reached his gloved hand into a pocket, and pulled out a small cell phone.
"Phase one complete, the boy is leaving." He said in a low voice. "Alright, continue to Phase two." Came the reply. The man
The man hung up his phone, and turned on his car. He slowly made his way in the same direction that Clark Kent had just left in……….
The car started off slowly, but increased in speed as it drove away from the Sullivan's household. The man turned the corner and went after the boy he was sent for. He saw the boy walking slowly in the rain down the street. The man turned off his lights, and crept the car towards the boy. He pulled up past the boy and caught a glimpse of his face. His head was down, and he didn't seem to notice the car. "This will be easier than I thought." The man pulled over about 60 yards ahead. He quietly climbed out and grabbed his gun. He hid behind the car and waited for the boy to get closer. He heard footsteps coming, and then suddenly they stopped. Than man popped up and held his gun out, but no one was there.
They boy had disappeared. "What the?" He whispered to himself. He began to run in the direction where he last saw the boy, but there was no sign of him. He swore loudly and walked back to his car. He climbed in and pulled out his cell phone. "He's gone, he disappeared somehow." He mumbled. "How could you have lost a teenager?" the voice asked angrily. "Never mind, come back and we will have to figure something else out." Then man hung up his phone, started his car, and traveled down the dark streets.
Clark was walking down the street in the rain, when he saw the car pull over. He used his x-ray vision and noticed the man reaching for a gun, and hiding on the other side of the car. Clark made sure he wasn't looking, and went into super speed. He ran over to Main Street which was a couple miles away. He looked around to make sure no one was looking and slowed down. He stuck his hands back in his pocket, and continued to walk down the road getting lost in his thoughts.
Lana Lang was at the Talon, it was a safe haven for her. She wasn't in the mood to go back to the Sullivan's and explain the night to Chloe. She was at least going to wait until she was done crying. She had turned on the radio and it was quietly playing. She made herself a small cup of coffee and sat down at a table in the corner.
Clark walked down Main Street. The rain continued to poor. It was late now and the street seemed to be abandoned. He walked down the dark lonely road. His mind still rushing, still wondering what was going on, what had happened, and where Lana was. He saw a soft glow of light coming from a window. He looked up to see it was the Talon. He walked over and quietly peaked into the window. He saw Lana sitting alone at a table. His heart did a flip as he saw her beautiful figure. He hand gently grasping a cup of coffee. He turned to go inside, when he saw her face. It was wet with tears, and they were still flowing. He took a step back not knowing what to do. Had he caused those tears? Would she want to see him? He walked back towards the window and looked at her once more. He raised his hand gently, and touched the window, "Lana, I…I am sorry if I hurt you……..again…." He whispered He finally made his mind up on what he needed to do.
