Jonathon had been out in the yard messing with the tractor yet again and silently cursing Clark for his knack of being absent when he was needed the most. He walked through the door into the kitchen and was stopped dead in his tracks at the sight of Lionel Luthor sitting at his kitchen table.
"What are you doing here?"
"I just thought I would stop by and see how my favorite farmer was fairing. I must admit I was hoping for a better welcome than I received at my last visit. No matter, I am sure it will come in time."
"What is it your are looking for Lionel?" Jonathon asked as he stood across the counter toweling his face dry.
Lionel stood and walked around the counter coming up behind him. Jonathon quickly turned and backed into the counter trying to regain his personal space.
"Back off Luthor."
"Ah, ah, ah Jonathon, remember our arrangement."
Lionel took another step forward effectively pinning Jonathon with his body. Leaning in Lionel breathed on his neck and attempted a light kiss, Jonathon responded by shoving him hard and followed through with a right hook. Lionel fell to the ground holding his eye with one hand and supporting his upper body with the other.
"Oh Jonathon, such a shame. Such a young life destroyed."
In an instant Jonathon was on top of him, arms flailing punch after punch. Lionel fought back and was able to knock him to the ground long enough to press the button on his pager for assistance.
"Get out you sick bastard!" Jonathon yelled at the top of his voice, rising to his feet.
In that instant two of Lionel's men kicked open the kitchen door, guns drawn. "Are you okay sir?"
"Yes, yes, I'm fine. Take Mr. Kent here to the car and ensure that he is made adequately comfortable."
Before he registered what was happening the muzzle of a gun was pressing into the back of his head and his arms were being secured behind his back with duct tape.
"Don't do this Lionel! Don't do this!" He shouted as Lionel disappeared ahead of his men towards the vehicle.
After being roughly pushed towards the limo, Jonathon was forced into the trunk and tape was secured over his mouth.
