Sorry about posting it twice I'm very stupid. Anyway thank you for the reviews and for this.

The next morning he was back at the office. He asked for James and was sent to the old man who had a large smile on his face. Clark looked hopeful and the man just gave him a folder with the words.

"Go and get her kid. She wants you home" Clark looked up at him with wide happy eyes. He surprised the old man by hugging him then running out. James laughed and shook his head "Good luck kid. My god is he in for a big surprise"

The minute Clark was out of the building he super-sped back to his hotel room and jumped onto his bed. He opened the file with shaking hands. He read her address, telephone number and what she had done a bit then stopped reading. He couldn't just read about her life somehow it felt wrong to him. He couldn't take it anymore he picked up the phone and dialled a number.

"Hello" said a voice at the other end

"Pete man its me"

"Hey Clark"

"Man I've found her"

"What she's there?"

"No I know where she is I'm going there now. I just wanted to ring and tell you"

"That's great man go and get her" Pete seemed excited but then he became serious "You know Clark she may have a boyfriend or even be married"

"I know" Clark seemed to come down from his high

"Man I was just warning you so you're prepared but go and get her. She loved you so much then and Lana wouldn't just forget that, she still does I'm sure"

"Yeah I'm going" he paused "Pete tell Chloe would you?"

"Course" he paused as well "Where is she now?"

"In New York" he said "Right Pete I'll ring you and Chlo in the next few days I'm going to get her"

"You go bro" he yelled

"Right I'm going now" Pete waited for Clark to put the phone down

"Clark, listen to me" Pete said slowly as if talking to a child "Put the phone down. Pack your stuff. Check out. Then you get your sorry ass down to NYC"

"Right, got it. Thanks Pete"

"Go" Clark nodded and then put the phone down. He did exactly what Pete had told him he only had a rucksack in any case so he was in reception in under half a minute. Three minutes later he was on the outskirts of New York.

He hailed a cab and gave the address as he had no idea where he was going.

"This is right on the other side of town you sure you got enough money" said the cab driver.

"Well I have $50 that I can spare"

"I can make that get you half way there" said the cabby "Then I can tell you where to go if you want"

"That'd be great" said Clark smiling at the man in the rear view mirror.

"Can't confirm you won't have to ask for more directions but I can get you to the area"

"That's all I need" said Clark "Thanks again" He looked out of the window interestedly as they went down the street he had only been to New York a couple of time before but they were all quick visits, he'd never had a chance to look at the scenery before. The cab driver told him about some of the less obvious landmarks and about good restaurants and clubs to go to.

Half way through the ride he asked the obvious question.

"What you doing in NYC then?"

"Oh I've come to find someone" said Clark not really wanting to go into detail

"They important then?"

"Yes very" he said taking a photo out of his pocket and looking at it before putting it back and looking out the window.

He remembered the last time he had seen her. They were so happy it was the day before the summer holidays and they had planned to go on a trip with Chloe and Pete. She had been so excited and so had he, they had never been away without adults before. He had taken her home to help her pack. She had been so hyper he had taken her flying to calm her down at Chloe's insistence.

They went out for a little over three hours when they got back he had had to go back and they kissed goodbye. Even her last words that he could remember her saying to him was 'I love you see you tomorrow'. He smiled at the memory then stopped his memory there he did not want to relive his life when he was found. It wasn't pretty.

"Sir?" said the cabby. Clark looked up at him "We're as close as you can get with your money"

"Oh thanks" he said getting out of the car and going to the window to pay.

The cabby gave him precise directions to the part of town where Lana lived he thanked him again then started to walk. He slipped down a side street and came out at super speed. He got to her part of town in just under a minute. It was near the outskirts in the more suburban areas with lots of parks and houses rather than the apartment blocks in the rest of the city.
