Chapter 9:

"Clark is Travis…er…Travis is Clark….er…whatever. Anyway, for the last couple of days every time that you have seen Clark it was Travis."

"But how can that be? Travis is in Belle Reeve."

"Not anymore, he broke out five days ago."

Lana sat quietly for a minute before responding, "Are you sure that you aren't just saying this because you're jealous of me and Clark?" There was a hint of annoyance in her voice.

Chloe's mouth dropped wide open; she was shocked that Lana would even think that.

"Lana, how could you…"

"Well if it makes you feel any better….I don't know if I even want to go out with Clark again."

"Lana, just listen to me. I swear to you that not even a half and hour ago I saw 'Clark' morphing into Travis."

Chloe paused, "And I'm not the only one who saw him."

"Ok, then who else saw him?"

"I did." Jason admitted as he entered the dorm.

"Jason?" Lana looked from Jason, to Chloe, and back again.

"I was with Chloe when she saw him. She's telling the truth."

Lana didn't know what to say. That would explain Clark's 360 degree turn back to her. She again looked at Chloe. Her face was filled with worry, concern, and hurt. Chloe was hurt. She had been trying to protect Lana from Travis and all Lana did was accuse her of being jealous. Lana stood up and walked over to Chloe. She was at a loss for words.

"Chloe…I'm…I'm sorry. I should have believed you. I guess that I just didn't want to admit that Clark could care about someone else the way that he used to care about me. But I knew the moment that I saw the two of you in the loft, that he had moved on. That he and I were over for good. Whatever the reason, I was wrong. Do you think that you could ever forgive me?"

After a long pause a small smile crossed Chloe's face. "I think so."

Lana smiled gratefully and gave Chloe a hug. "Thanks Chloe."

Chloe pulled back abruptly. "Wait a minute. You saw Clark and me kissing in the loft?" She asked her eyes wide.

"You do know that I'm still here, don't you?"

Both girls turned their heads toward Jason.

"Now that everyone believes and forgives everybody….We need to find where Travis is hiding out," Jason said.

Chloe nodded and stood up.

"I have and idea. I'll be right back," she disappeared out the door.

When she returned she was holding a small device. She sat down at the computer desk and inserted the device into Clark's cell phone.

"Ok, now we'll just have to wait until Travis comes back to see Lana."

"He'll probably come back tonight," Lana said, glancing at Jason, "He was here earlier and I told him that I would call as soon as I was done with my astronomy paper."

"And if you don't call he'll probably come."

"Exactly."

………………………………………………………………………

Chloe was sitting on her bed working on her laptop while Jason and Lana sat talking about things that happened in Paris and old times, when there was a knock on the door. They all froze.

"Just a minute," Lana yelled in the direction of the door.

"Umm…" Chloe handed Lana Clark's cell phone before following Jason into the closet.

Lana took a deep breath and then proceeded to answer the door.

"Hey Clark," she greeted.

"Hey," Clark replied. He leaned down and kissed her on the cheek. "You didn't call, so I thought that I'd come over and make sure everything was ok."

"Everything is fine. I just now finished my paper and was going to call you. But here you are."

"Here I am."

Lana slowly put her arms around his neck and reached up to give him a long, deep kiss, not allowing him to notice her slipping the cell phone into his pocket. They slowly pulled apart.

"Shoot." Lana said abruptly.

"What?" Clark asked, confused.

"I just remembered that there is something that I didn't put in my paper, something very important. I better do that right now."

"How long will it take?"

"Um…I don't know. Maybe we better go out tomorrow instead of tonight. Is that ok?"

"Of course."

"You're the best." Lana said and gave him a soft kiss on the cheek

"I'll see you tomorrow then?" Clark asked.

"No doubt about it, bye."

"Bye."

Lana let out a sigh of relief after he had left the dorm. He wasn't even suspicious.

"Did you put it back?" Chloe asked, as she carefully stepped out of the closet.

"Yup, it is tucked safely in his pocket."

"Good. Now all we have to do is…" Chloe walked over to her laptop and folded it open. After typing in a few things, a map-like picture appeared on the screen. The three of them watched as the small read dot moved quickly across the screen. When it finally stopped, Chloe looked at its location.

"He's at the old Peterson farm out by Crater Lake."

She stood up and grabbed her coat from the closet.

"You're not planning on going by yourself, are you?" Lana asked a worried expression on her face.

"I was going to."

"But it's too dangerous. You…"

"I'll go with her." Jason stated abruptly.

Both Lana and Chloe turned to look at him.

"What?" Lana questioned.

"I'll go with her. She's not going to be able to handle Travis on her own. Besides, I want to help."

Chloe looked at Lana, who just shrugged her shoulders. Chloe sighed and turned back to Jason. "Fine."

"Do you have any ideas on how we are going to stop Travis?" He asked.

"No. Unless…." Chloe walked over to her dresser and pulled open one of the drawers. She rummaged through it until she stumbled upon a small, lead box.

"What is it?" Lana and Jason asked in unison.

Chloe smiled and carefully pulled open the lid. Lana looked at the item and then looked up at Chloe, confusion written across her face.

"It's a meteor rock." Lana noted.

"How is that supposed to help?" Jason inquired, also confused.

"Just trust me on this one." Chloe closed the box and slipped it into her coat pocket. She turned back to Jason, "Are you coming?"

"Oh yeah, just a minute."

"Ok, I'll meet you in the car." Chloe said before exiting the dorm.

"Bye Lana." Jason gave her a kiss on the forehead and was about to leave, when Lana grabbed is arm. She pulled him back towards her and leaned up to plant a kiss right on his lips. She slowly pulled away.

"Bye Jason."

A smile began to cross his face as he left the dorm. When he was about halfway down the hall, he heard Lana call his name.

He swung around to face her. "Yeah?"

"Be careful."

"Always," he replied before disappearing into the elevator.
