Martha rushes over to Jonathon.

"Martha, what's wrong?" He asks, worried over his wife's expression.

"Clark! John has him! All Clark could tell me was something about a kryptonite needle and a bridge." Martha tells him.

"I know where he's talking about. We need to go." Jonathon says and grabs his coat. Both of them run out of the hospital.

------------------------------------------------

Clark was taken to a small barn in the woods near the bridge. Two guards stand outside the doors, the same ones that kidnapped Sophie. Who knows where the third one is. John is inside at a table with microscopes, a jar of liquid kyrptonite, and other scientific equipment. Clark is strapped down to a table.

Clark starts to wake up and instantly feels a sharp pain throughout his whole body. A pain only brought by kyrptonite. He looks around the room and sees the equipment and John and remembers what happened. "Why… are you… doing this?" Clark struggles to get out. John turns around and smiles.

"Ah, your awake. And the answer to your question… I think you know why." John tells him and walks over to Clark.

"I thought… you were a good person. Why would you do this to another human being? Can't you see I'm just a kid?" Clark asks. He knows he won't get through to John, but he might as well try.

"This discovery could make my career! This is the big break I have been waiting for! No one is going to stop me. Do you hear me? No one!" John tells him and slams his hand on the metal table.

Clark begins to start realizing how serious this really is. John is not going to give up easily. This could be the end. More injections of kyrptonite, and it will be the end. Maybe it's better this way, at least Sophie will be safe without people coming after her to get to Clark's secret. After all, Sophie being safe is worth anything to Clark.

-------------------------------------------------------

Jonathon and Martha rush out of the hospital and nearly knock a man down. Jonathon turns around to see if the man is ok.

"Hey, Jonathon Kent. It's Todd, Todd Wrangler. I heard about Clark's girlfriend and I kind of feel responsible since I convinced him to stay and race." Todd says to Jonathon.

"Sorry Todd, but Clark isn't here. We have to go." Jonathon tells him quickly and turns to go.

"Mr. Kent, is something wrong?" Todd asks, picking up on his urgency. Jonathon's first reaction is not to tell him and keep going, but he needs all the help he can get.

"Yeah, Clark's in trouble. We think this guy that beat up Sophie might have him."

"Well this sounds pretty bad, you could use some help. My truck is right over here…" Todd says and turns toward his truck.

Jonathon turns to Martha. "Martha, why don't you take the truck back to the farm. I'll call you with any news."

"Ok, be careful." She says and watches as Jonathon and Todd get in his truck.

-------------------------------------------------------

Jonathon and Todd sneak into the woods near the bridge. They come up to the barn and see the two guards on each side of the door.

"Let's go around to the other side of the barn and sneak up on them." Todd suggests.

"Ok. You take the right side, and I'll take the left." Jonathon says and they both sneak through the trees in opposite directions. Jonathon walks close to the barn and looks for something to knock out the guard with. He finds a rusty steel rod on the ground and picks it up. Jonathon sneaks to the corner and peaks around at the guard. He's just about to make his move and a stick crunches under his foot.

"What was that?" One guard asks.

"I don't know, check it out."

Jonathon has his back against the wall with his eyes wide. All he can hope for is to surprise him. "Hey!" The guard shouts as he spots Jonathon.
