Clark parks the truck towing the car in front of the barn. Jonathon, followed by Martha comes out of the house.
"So this is it, huh?" Jonathon asks.
"Yeah. Mr. Wrangler let me take it for a few days." Clark tells him.
"I think we can make room in the barn." Jonathon smiles and pulls open the barn door.
"Chloe is coming over with some decals. I'll make sure the Grandville crowd knows where Clark Kent is from." Clark says.
"I'm going to get back to work." Jonathon pats his shoulder and walks out the door. He passes Sophie as she walks in.
"Hi, Mr. Kent." She greets him.
"Sophie." Jonathon says without any emotion and keeps walking. Sophie doesn't like being on that side of Clark's dad, but she can understand after getting caught being undressed by Clark. Clark walks over to her and gives her a long kiss.
"I missed you out there watching me." He tells her.
"I missed you too, Clark." She smiles. "I guess it went well, as I see a racecar in your barn." Sophie says and runs her hand down the car.
"Yeah, it did." Clark admits and walks to her.
"You know what I missed the most?" She asks and puts her hand on his chest.
"Maybe." Clark answers and kisses her gently. Sophie kisses back and throws her arms around his neck. He picks her up and lays her down gently on the hood of the car.
"You know what I'm thinking?" She asks with a smile on her face.
"Yeah, but we can't do that." He tells her and she giggles. "But we can do something else…" Clark says and kisses her lips, then her neck.
"Do you two ever get tired of making out?" Chloe asks, interrupting them.
"It's been three hours, we have to do something to make up for our lost time." Sophie tells her, getting off of the car.
"Oh, please…" Chloe says. "I have the decals out in the car."
"Ok, let's go get them." Clark says and heads for the door.
------------------------------------
After about two hours and a lot of slow peeling and sticking, the three of them have the car covered with decals. On the hood is a four-foot crow… The side says the "Smallville Torch"… The back of the car says "Go Crows"… And last but not least, above the doors on the roof has "Clark Kent, driver and reporter."
"There, I think they'll know where your from, Clark." Chloe says.
"Yeah, thanks for all your help. Can I count on you watching me?" Clark asks.
"Of course. Now are you two up for coffee at the Talon?" Chloe asks them both. Sophie gives her a sharp look. "Oh no, I forgot. Ok well, see you at school tomorrow." Chloe says and turns to walk away.
"Bye Chloe." Sophie says.
"Come on, you can stay for dinner." Clark says and they both walk toward the house.
--------------------------------------------
The three Kents and Sophie sit at the table after dinner.
"Uh, there is something you guys should know…" Sophie starts.
"What is it?" Martha asks.
"Clark, you remember that guy John we met in Ohio?" She asks.
"Yeah, Jake's brother." Clark says.
"He approached me at the school today after Clark left." Sophie tells them.
"He did? Why is he here?" Clark asks, confused.
"He said something about Clark being special, and he wanted to know what it was. I told him I didn't know what he was talking about. What did he want?" She asks. Clark looks to his dad and he can see the fear in his eyes.
"Clark, special? I have no idea." Jonathon lies.
"What did he do after you told him that?" Clark asks.
"He threatened me. He said I would regret my answer." Sophie tells them.
"Don't worry. He won't hurt you, all he wants is to scare you." Jonathon assures her.
"He was following me in the bushes. He came out and told me he wanted to be alone with me. I thought he wanted to rape me or something." She says. Her look just wants to make Clark hold her in his arms and make her feel better, but he settles with squeezing her hand assuring under the table.
"Oh, hunny. We're so sorry he approached you like that." Martha tells her and rests her hand on her shoulder.
"Sophie, maybe you should go on home. We need to talk to Clark about something." Jonathon tells her.
"Okay." She agrees and gets up.
"Do you need me to walk you home?" Clark asks.
"No, I'll be fine. Trust me." Sophie smiles and walks out the door.
------------------------------------------
John sits in his van trying to listen. Static is playing over the speakers.
"Come on! I haven't heard anything all afternoon. Useless, worthless pieces of junk!" He yells and slams his fist down, making the static worse.
------------------------------------------
"I can not believe he went after Sophie! What was I supposed to do? Run away and let those people get hurt, or for worse, dead?" Clark asks his parents, pacing the kitchen.
"Clark, calm down. We don't expect you to stand by and let people get hurt." Jonathon says.
"So, what do we do? He obviously has some idea that I'm not normal." Clark says.
"We can't do anything. He won't know unless we tell him. You just have to be extra careful. And Sophie can't know about your secret." Jonathon tells Clark.
"To be honest, I wanted to tell her the other day. But, I can't now. I don't want her to have that burden, especially when someone could be after it." Clark tells them.
"I know it's hard, Clark. If you two love each other as much as you say you do, you won't have to keep your secret forever." Martha tells her son and hugs him.
