Chloe was starting to get worried. She had been trying to get a hold of Clark, but he had still not answered her call. She knew that Clark and Jonn hand headed back to Jonn's place before going and try to find out if Lex was behind the plan to expose Jonn.
She knew that Clark and Jonn were more that capable of taking care of themselves, but she still worried. She looked at her watch from what seemed like the tenth time in five minutes.
"Hey, where are Smallville and Jonn?" Lois asked as she walked into the loft.
"They were going to Jonn's and then to Lex's. I have been trying to get a hold of Clark but he won't answer his phone." Chloe explained.
"Chloe I'm sure that they're fine." Lois said as she tried to calm her cousin down.
"My gut is telling me that something is wrong." Chloe said.
"Let's go." Lois said.
"Right." Chloe said.
Smith and his hoods stopped the van at the front gate of STAR labs. The guard let them go and they drove to the back of the lab. A few minutes later Jonn was in a lab. Smith's men strapped him down to a bed and then they left the room. Smith reached into his jacket and pulled out a pack of smokes and then lit one up.
"So what planet are you from?" Smith asked.
"You left that boy out there to die.' Jonn said.
"He's not a boy his a alien, like you and all of you need to be studied." Smith said.
"Your afraid of us aren't you?" Jonn asked.
"Of course you could destroy us." Smith said.
"I think that Mr. Smith has been watching to many late night movies." Lionel said as he walked into the room.
"Smith you may leave us now." Lionel said.
"What are you crazy?" Smith asked.
"Your money is in your account." Lionel said.
Smith snuffed out his smoke and left the room.
"Your letting a murderer go free." Jonn said.
"What Mr. Smith has done in the past is none of my concern." Lionel said.
"What do you want with me?" Jonn asked.
"To know if are here to invade this planet or merely to study it." Lionel said.
"Invasion is impossible I'm the last of the Martians." Jonn said.
"Really, them tell me about Clark Kent." Lionel asked. Jonn only looked at Lionel and said nothing.
Chloe and Lois stopped the car near where Clark had parked the truck. As they looked around they saw the damage that had been done.
"It looks like a firefight happened here." Lois said.
"Oh God, where's Clark?" Chloe said.
"I'll check the cabin." Lois said. Then she walked into the cabin. Chloe began to look around the cabin Clark could hear Chloe and Lois walking around.
"Chloe" he called out weakly.
"Clark?" Chloe said.
"Chloe." Clark called out again.
"Clark, where are you?" She asked.
"Over here, help me?" Clark said.
"Where are you?" She asked.
"Over here." Clark called out. She followed his voice until she found him. He was lying next to a kryptonite shaped gun. She ran down to him. She picked up the gun and threw it as far as she could. When she turned around Clark was standing up, the effects of the kryptonite almost gone.
"What happened here? Where's Jonn?" She asked.
"When we got here we were ambushed by some guys in a van. They used fire and kryptonite to take me and Jonn out." Clark said.
"Hey there's nobody….where the hell where you Smallville?" Lois said as she saw Clark.
"I was over there…I uh," Clark stammered as he tried to think up an excuse.
"He tripped and fell and was knocked out?" Chloe said, hoping that Lois would buy the lame excuse.
"Why I'm I not surprised. Where is our green skinned friend anyways?" Lois asked.
"The guy that Jonn is after came and kidnapped him." Clark said.
"Well isn't that just great. So what's the plan?" Lois asked.
"We have to find out where they took Jonn?" Clark said.
"Do remember anything about the van?" Chloe said.
"Nothing really it was black, no markings or license plate." Clark said.
"In other words your run of the mill bad guy van." Lois said.
"Right, let's get out of here?" Chloe said.
Jonn looked over at Lionel as one of the lab techs injected him with something.
"You have know been injected with a chemical that will in a few hours start to burn through your veins and organs. Now if you just answer my question I will give to the counter agent." Lionel said.
"I know nothing of Clark Kent." Jonn said.
"Really come now are you willing to risk your life for that boy?" Lionel asked.
"He saved my life and from what I have heard yours to. You should be thanking him, not hunting him." Jonn said.
"All I want from him is the truth." Lionel said.
"The truth about what?" Jonn asked.
"The truth about who he is and where he came from." Lionel said.
Clark, Lois and Chloe were back at the loft. They were trying to formulate a plan to find Jonn.
"We know that Smith was the guy that Jonn was after but why would he try capture Jonn?" Lois asked.
"That's the real question. Smith should what to get far away from here but yet he stuck around." Chloe said.
"He wants to kill Jonn. More than that he knew that what would hurt Jonn." Clark said.
"Smith had done his homework." Lois said.
"Right, but the thing is where would he take Jonn?" Lois asked.
"To someone that knew that Jonn was an alien." Clark said.
"Not very many people knew that Jonn was an alien." Chloe said.
"Smith knew, but if he told someone who would believe him?" Lois said.
"Other than Chloe the only other two people with a obsession for little green men are the Luthors." Lois said.
"Let's go pay Lex a visit." Clark said.
"I'll go get the car." Lois said. Clark waited until he was sure that Lois had left the loft."
"Chloe I don't think that Lex had anything to do with this." Clark said.
"Why do you say that?" Chloe asked.
"Smith knew about Kryptonite." Clark said.
"How would he know?" Chloe asked.
"I don't know." Clark said.
Jonn could feel the heat starting to build in his body. Lionel sat next to him looking on. Jonn knew that he was running out of time. He had to trying something. He knew that Lionel would have taken every precaution to insure that if Jonn tried anything that he would be dead. Jonn knew that there was only one thing to do. He would use his teleplay to get help.
Lex and Lana sat in the study. Lex held Lana's hand and then kissed her gently on the lips.
"I have to saw that I dreamed of this for a long time." Lex said.
"Really, why did you never say anything?" Lana asked.
"I never wanted to get in the way of how Clark felt about you." Lex said.
"Clark had his chances." Lana said.
"Why did you make a move with Clark." Lex asked.
"Why are we talking about Clark?" Lana asked.
"Just call it a guy want to know about his girlfriends ex." Lex said.
"That was the past. It's time to look toward the future." Lana said. She was about to kiss him when the doors opened and Clark walked in.
"What hell is this!" Lex asked.
"Someone kidnapped Jonn and I think that you know who did it." Clark said.
"You got a lot of nerve." Lex said.
"Tell me what you know Luthor." Clark said.
"Clark what's going on?" Lana asked.
"Smith attacked me and Jonn when we were at his place." Clark said.
"Clark, I swear I know nothing about this." Lex said.
"I hope your right Lex." Cark said then he turned and started to walk out of the room. Lana followed him.
"Clark, why did you do that?" Lana asked.
"I'm starting to think that Bruce was right maybe Lex isn't that person we thought he was." Clark said.
"Clark if this has anything to do with me and Lex being together." Lana said.
"Lana, the last thing on my mind right now is you and Lex." Clark said. Then he walked out of the mansion.
"So what did the cue ball know?" Lois said.
"He didn't know anything." Clark said.
"What do we do now?" Chloe said.
"We should look for Lionel Luthor." Lois said.
"He might have been the one that gave Smith the weapons." Chloe said.
"We should split up. You two go back to the motel were Smith was staying and I'll look around at Luthor Corp." Clark said.
"If we find anything we'll call you" Lois said.
"Right and Lois don't try anything stupid?" Clark said.
"Look at who you're talking to Smallville." Lois said.
Clark waited until Chloe and Lois were far enough away and then he headed toward LutherCorp.
Smith had came back to his room to collect that last of his things and get the hell out of this town. He still wonder why Luthor wanted the alien alive maybe Luthor wanted to experiment on it, find out more about it or do god knows what to it.
He checked around the room and started for the door. It was then that he noticed to women walking towards the room. He quickly pulled the gun that he had tucked in his waistband and stood near the door.
Chloe knocked on the door and waited for an answer. She gave Lois a puzzled look and then tried the knob. It was locked. Lois reached into her pocket and produced the lock picking kit that her father gave her the last time they visited.
"A lock picking kit?" Chloe asked.
"You know the General, always be prepared." Lois said as she started to work the lock. A few moments later the door was open and Chloe and Lois walked into the room. It was then that Chloe felt the barrel of the gun on the back of her head.
"One move and both of you are dead." Smith said.
At that moment Lois could only think of one word to say. "Swell"
TBC….
