Clark was drained after the emotional conversations of the afternoon but Lana and Chloe had both mentioned that Lex knew somebody had stolen one of the stones. Clark had to go talk to Lex and try to divert suspicion from himself. If what both Chloe and Lana had told him about Lex he was not acting like himself. He was acting dangerous. Clark approached the familiar gate and the guard let him in. Clark hoped that this conversation would not end with him and Lex's friendship destroyed.
Clark walked into Lex's library. Lex was in there shooting pool, something Clark knew he did when he was frustrated.
"Clark. The man of the hour. What brings you by so late at night? Oh no wait let me guess. You're here about the stones right? You must be, everybody seems to have known about them. The Teagues, my Dad, Lana, Chloe, so you must have known." Clark decided to be honest with Lex, as least partially.
"Lex, Lana gave me one of the stones right before the meteor shower. Jason showed up with a shotgun and held my parents hostage for it. I was walking towards the barn when it started to glow and a meteor hit the house. It knocked me flat and when I got up the stone was gone." Lex looked at Clark, considering his story. He seemed to accept it.
"Clark. Thank you for being honest with me. The stones must all be gone Clark. Somebody stole one of them from my library during the meteor shower. I went to the cave, there was a secret chamber and a blinding light was coming from it. Whatever those stones were for they were meant to be used in that chamber. I know its not in my character, I'm just gonna let it go. They are gone and there is nothing I can do about it."
"I'm glad to hear it Lex."
"So, Clark. Have you seen Lana or Chloe yet?"
"Yeah, I just saw both of them. Lex you scared them."
"I know. I'm going to apologize tomorrow. It just that I had invested a year and a lot of money into those stones just to have them slip from my grasp."
"Well I'm glad you're ok Lex. I'm gonna head home and get some rest. I've got to start re-building our house tomorrow."
"Ok Clark. I'll see you later."
