Chapter Nine

Lex was sitting at his desk working on his laptop, when Lionel came through the double doors leading to the library. Lex quickly folded down the screen of his laptop. "Hello son. Aren't things around here a mess?" Lex looked up at his dad. "I have a feeling I don't need to tell you what happened. How'd you know? Did you hear it from your source that you have spying on me?" Lex questioned in return. "Actually Son, I dropped in at the Talon and Martha Kent told me the news." Lionel said and then continued. "Don't you do a great job at making enemies." Lex stood up and looked his father in the eye. "I got it from you." He smiled then turned to walk over to his drink counter. "Where were you last night anyways, and your security team?" Lionel asked. Lex poured himself a drink. "I had to go to a meeting. And as for my security team, the police found some of them knocked out and some of them killed. I didn't realize two people could do so much damage." Lex answered. "What I don't get is how someone could catch a bullet and not shed one drop of blood." Lex passed Lionel and walked over to his desk, where a small piece of bullet sat. "I don't know son. Some questions are never answered." Lex looked up at his dad and said, "I might know someone who could answer this question though."

Lex walked up to one of the cells at Belle Reeve. He turned and looked in. Travis was leaning against one of the side walls. The worker that had showed him to Travis' cell went over to the door and unlocked it, before letting Lex in. Travis looked up. When he saw Lex he turned and walked towards the back of the room. "I told them I didn't want to see you." He said, disgusted. "Yeah, well I have sources in high places." Travis turned around to face him. "Can't you ever do anything without bribing people, Mr. Moneybags?" Travis questioned before rolling his eyes. "Look I know you don't like me, but I need to know something." Travis glared at him. "Don't like you? I hate you. And what makes you think I'll tell you what you want to know?" Lex stepped closer to Travis. "Because it has to do with someone else you don't like anymore, especially because he practically put you in here." Travis furrowed his brow. "Who?" Lex looked at him. "Clark Kent." Travis returned the look. "What do you want to know?" He asked curiously. "Did Clark catch this bullet?" Lex asked, holding up the small item. Travis stood quietly for a moment before answering. "Yeah he did. I tried telling the police, but they just thought that I was crazy." Lex turned away from Travis. "Maybe my dad was right all along. Maybe there is more to Clark than meets the eye." With that he walked out of the room.

Lana and Lois walked out of Chloe's hospital room and back down the hall to the waiting room. Clark stood up. "How is she?" He asked as they walked over to him. "Well she's going to be fine. I have to say though, I think we bored her. She fell asleep on us. Can you believe her?" Lois said. Clark smiled. "Was she asleep when you left?" He asked. Lana spoke next. "Yeah, but you could still go in and see if she's awake. She could have just nodded off." Clark nodded. "I think I will." He said. "You go down the hall, take a right and the room will be on the left. Number 216." Lois informed Clark. "Thanks Lois." He walked down the hall. "I'm going back to the Talon. Do you want to come?" Lois asked Lana. "Yeah, but I have to pick up a couple of things. I'll meet you there." She answered. Lois smiled. "Ok." She turned around and walked out of the waiting room. Lana was about to leave too, but just then her cell-phone rang. "Hello," she answered. "Hi Lana." Lex's voice said from the other end of the line. "What do you want Lex?" Lana asked, annoyed. "I want to tell you something about Clark." Lex said. Lana rolled her eyes. "Lex I don't want to hear it." She said. "Lana this is important."

"I bet it is. Look Lex I have to go meet Lois. I'll talk to you later." She said, and then hung up before he could say anything in return. She then turned around and walked quickly out of the hospital.
