Lana opened the door to the dorm and stared. The entire room was a mess. Clothes were strewn everywhere, books were knocked off shelves, and Chloe's laptop was…gone. Groaning she pulled her cell phone from her purse. After calling the police she dialed Lex's number. When the answering machine came on she hung up. She looked at her watch, Where was Chloe anyways? She should've been back by now. She tried Chloe's cell, but there was no answer. Where could she be?

"What happened?" a stunned voice asked from behind her.

Lana turned, "Lois? What are you doing here?"

"I came to see Chloe…"Lois let the sentence trail off as she looked around the ransacked room, "What happened?"

Lana sighed, "I don't know. I just came in and found…this."

"Has Chloe seen this?"

"No, I couldn't get a hold of her."

Lois frowned, "That's weird, she always has her phone on…will you be all right here? I think I'll go try and track down Chloe."

"I'll be fine, I called the police. They should be here any minute now."

"I'll see you later," Lois said as she started away.

"Okay."

She tried to scream, but nothing came out. She heard voices, but couldn't understand what they were saying. Then she felt someone lifting her. Clark? Her side felt as if it was on fire, and everything went black.

He stood looking at the river. Maybe she had been swept away when she fell. His jaw clenched, this was getting out of hand. He needed her dead. If that article ever got published he'd be dead. He turned and strode back up the bank. He couldn't risk being seen. He yanked open his car door and got in.
