Chapter 2
Chloe and Lana had finished packing there things when someone knocked on the door. They looked at each. Chloe went to the door. Lana grabbed a lamp from the desk and stood to the side of the door she held the lamp like a weapon in case the person on the other side of the door wanted any trouble.
"It me Miss Sullivan."Maggie said from behind the door. "You can tell Miss Lang that she can put down the lamp."She continued. Lana and Chloe were amazed that she knew what they were doing. Lana put the lamp down as Chloe let Maggie in.
"Glad to see that you two are taking proper precautions."Maggie said.
"Thanks,anything new?"Lana asked.
"I wish there was something I could tell you but I can't. however I did call sheriff Adams and told her what's going on. She said that she will met you when you girls get back. She wants to put you under protective custody."Maggie said.
"Protective custody,that mean she wants to put us in the jail until you catch these guys."Chloe said.
"That's what I thought, I got a different idea. How about I send two officers to guard you,they won't interfere with your daily lives."Maggie said.
"You mean will have a Kevin Costner wanna be following us everywhere we go?"Chloe asked.
"Yes,but its better than the Smallville lock up."Maggie said.
"Okay,we'll take the guards."Lana said. Chloe nodded in agreement.
Clark and Lois were waiting at the bus station. They were waiting for Chloe and Lana to get back into town. Clark felt uneasy be around Lois, now more than ever since he had talked to his dad about it. Lois looked at her watch for what seemed like the twenty th time.
"They're late,I know that this is Smallville but that doesn't mean that the bus has to take it forever. How far is Metropolis from here."She said.
"432.6 miles to be exact."Clark said. Lois shot him a funny look.
"You know how far it is to the exact mile?"Lois asked.
"Yeah,Lois do you want some think to drink.?"Clark asked.
"Yeah,Smallville that would be great."Lois said. Clark turned and head for the machines. She watched as Clark walked away. She never noticed how tall Clark was and how confident he walked. She did find Clark handsome, but he wasn't her type. She was into the nerd type. Give her a nerd with glasses that had to pushed up every five five minutes and Lois would be weak in the knees. She realized that Clark did that to her at times.
"Admiring from a far?"Lex Luther asked from behind her. Lois turned Lex was walking up to her.
"Clark Kent's not my type."Lois said, more to reassure herself.
"On the contrary I think Clark is exactly your type,you just won't admit it."Lex said.
"I take all the guys you dated put up with Lois Lane's charm."Lex said.
"You mean did they take the crap I give Clark?"Lois said.
"Yes."Lex said.
"Yes they did."Lois said.
"Your attracted to Clark because he won't. He'll give you a taste of your own medicine."Lex said.
"Wrong,I'm attracted to Clark..."Lois stopped herself. She never told anyone about that.
"Don't worry I won't tell him."Lex said. Clark walked up a second later.
"Lex what are you doing here?"Clark asked.
"Offering security to Chloe and Lana."Lex said.
"Security for what?"Lois asked.
"They witnessed a murder,the police think that the killers might come after them."Lex said.
"I talked to Chloe last night she never said anything to me."Lois said.
"The police probably told them not to tell anyone."Clark said.
"So how did you find out?"Lois asked.
"I have connections at the MPD,they told me about,tell you the truth I don't think that MPD finest are going to be able to do the job."Lex said.
Chloe and Lana got off the bus and rushed to Clark,Lois and Lex.
"Did you have a good trip?"Lex asked after all the greetings were done.
"It was the best time I've had in a long time."Lana said.
"So how was the shopping?"Lois asked.
"Oh it was great."Chloe asked.
"What are the police doing to find the killers,before they find you?"Clark asked. Everyone stopped talking. They looked at Clark.
"Nice,Smallville great way to be subtle."Lois said.
"How did you know about that Clark?"Lana asked.
"Lex,told us."Clark said.
"Clark's right you two need protection think my bodyguards can do a better job that those two."Lex said pointing at the two men standing behind them.
"Clark me and Lana are big girls we don't need protection."Chloe said.
"I think you do until police find these guys."Clark said.
"You know I hate to say it but Clark's right."Lois said
"Okay."Lana and Chloe said.
"Good,excuse me."Lex said then he walked over to the men that came with Lana and Chloe. Everyone watched as Lex talked to the men. Then they got back on the bus.
"Wow."Chloe said.
"Every things taken care of. Now if you two are ready."Lex asked.
"Sure."Lana said. Lex's bodyguards came and took Lana and Chloe's bags. Everyone got into their vehicles and drove off. They didn't notice the black sedan that was parked behind them. In the car. Burt "Johnny" lowered a set of binoculars and tapped his buddy Rex.
"Let's go."He said. Then they drove off.
Clark and his parents sat at the table eating dinner. Clark was catching his parents up on the days events.
"They acted like everything was okay like two killers aren't be looking for them trying to kill them."Clark said.
"Clark,they'll be fine Lex's bodyguards will take care of them."Martha said.
"Mom, I can get though Lex's bodyguards and that's with out using my powers."Clark said.
"Clark you know that Lana and Chloe can take care of themselves."Jonathon said.
"Maybe I could..."Clark said.
"Son as fast are you are you can't be in two place at once."Martha said.
"Clark,if the time comes that Chloe and Lana need your help,you'll be there."Jonathon said. Clark sighed.
"Don't worry sweetie everything will be okay."His mom reassured him.
Lionel stood in front of Lex's desk reading the file.
"Did you know you and Clark have the same middle name Joseph?"Lionel said.
"Yes dad and his first name is his mother's maiden name. What do you what dad?"Lex asked.
"I just wanted to see how you are doing on your research on Clark."Lionel said.
"Really or did you come to steal mine."Lex said.
"Lex, your just looking for personnel information. I on the other hand want to know where he came from. Do you know that Clark Kent was the only child not reported missing in the state the year the Kents found him."Lionel said
"Lot's kids are abandoned dad."Lex said.
"Not all children are found on the day a meteor shower."Lionel said.
"Dad,do you think Clark is not from this world."Lex said.
"I don't know what I think yet but I'm going to find out."Lionel said.
"And if you find out what are you going to do with it?"Lex asked
"Use it of course."Lionel said.
"That's the difference between my research and yours dad,I plan to give mine to Clark learn more about where he came from,not to black mail him."Lex said.
"Lex,you have not realized how dangerous Clark Kent can be to you Lex. Maybe you never will"Lionel said.
