"Alexandra!" Jonathan and Martha were calling her.
"Clark," Jonathan said, "Where was the last place you saw her?"
"It wasn't here," Clark said, "We weren't home."
"You took her to Pete's?" Jonathan said.
"No," Clark said.
"Clark, where was she?" Martha said.
"Please don't freak out," Clark said, "We were at Lex's."
"What?" Jonathan said, "Why were you there?"
"He invited us for dinner," Clark said.
"Just like that?" Jonathan said.
"It's a long story," Clark said.
"Tell it to me," Jonathan said, "Because if Lex has hurt your sister…"
"Dad, that's not what happened," Clark said.
A car pulled up and Chloe, Pete and Lana got out. "Did you find her?" Lana said.
"No," Clark said.
"Mr. and Mrs. Kent, I'm sorry," Lana said, "I feel so bad. It's all my fault."
"Why would you say that?" Martha said.
"I was supposed to be watching her," Lana said, "I told Clark I would."
"And what were you doing?" Jonathan said, to Clark.
"Watching the game," Clark said, sheepishly.
"The game…" Jonathan said.
"You were supposed to be watching your sister," Martha said, "We trusted that you would."
"I'm sorry," Clark said, "But Lana said, she would and I thought it would be okay."
"Don't put this off on Lana," Jonathan said, "You were responsible for her. I thought you could handle that, clearly I was wrong."
"Dad, I said, I was sorry," Clark said.
"Well, you're going to be sorry alright if we don't find her," Jonathan said. As he and Martha headed for the truck, Martha said, "Someone should stay here incase she comes home."
"Chloe and I will stay," Pete offered, "She knows me."
"I want to help them look," Chloe said.
"I think maybe you and I can do some brainstorming as to where she might be," Pete said.
As Jonathan and Martha drove away Lana went up to Clark and said, "We'll find her."
"My Dad has never spoken to me that way before," Clark said.
"He's just worried," Lana said, "I'm sure he didn't mean it. Why don't you let me help you look."
"Okay," Clark said, "Pete, you'll call me if she comes home?"
"Absolutely," Pete said.
As Clark and Lana walked away, Chloe said, "Why did you do that? Make me stay here?"
"Because I thought between the two of us we might be able to figure out where she might be," Pete said.
"How are we supposed to do that," Chloe said, "By just standing around?"
"Hey, if you want to go and look go ahead," Pete said, "Don't take your jealously out on me."
"I'm not jealous," Chloe said, "I just want to help."
"Well, I'm staying here incase she comes home," Pete said, "Are you waiting with me or not?" Pete walked into the house without waiting for an answer. Chloe paused before giving a frustrated sigh and followed him in.
