Okie doke here is shot two at formatting this mo fo. I'm writing it straight into the Ksite forum box so we will se what's going to happen. Also for the Scream fans, I'm not going to follow the exact timeline of the movie so if you notice any differences I did them on purpose to move the story along.

Chapter 2

Lois sat on the bench in the waiting area of the Smallville Police Depatment while Clark was inside talking to the Sheriff.

"Afternoon, maam." she looked up and saw Deputy Dewey Riley.

"Hi Dewey" Lois said. She didn't know the man too well his sister Tatum was in her gym class. Dewey had come in for anti-drug week. He seemed like a bit of a goofball but harmless.

"Anything I can help you with?" he asked.

"Oh no, I'm here with Clark Kent, he's in with the Sheriff. He wants to talk to all of the football players. Though Clark can't be a suspect he and I were up until 1 last night watching MASH reruns and I overheard one of the officers say the murders happened around 11:30pm." Lois said.

"Clark? Nah we aren't looking at him as a suspect, we are just hoping maybe one of their friends have heard something. Man Clark has an arm though doesn't he, I bet he gets a full ride to a Big Ten school to play quarterback." he cleared his throat. "Sorry that probably wasn't appropriate conversation." he said with a blush.

"It's ok." Lois said with a small smile, "Actually its nice to be distracted, and I agree Clark has a big future ahead of him. If only he would believe it." she said with a slight wistfullness.

They looked up when the door opened and Clark walked out with Sheriff Burke.

"Take care Clark, with everything going on everyone thought it would be best to cancel the game tonight. I hope you didn't have an scouts coming out." the Sheriff said.

"No sir not this weekend, and I understand about the game." Clark said.

The sheriff reached out and shook his hand. "Take care Kent and say hi to your parents for me. Be sure to go home straight after school. The town is putting a 5:00 curfew until we can get some headway on this."

"Will do," Clark said with a nod. He turned and saw Lois. "Sorry that took so long" he said quietly as they walked out the door. "I swear to god he spent more time asking me about my future college choices than about Steve. Not that I had much to offer, Steve and I weren't really close."

As they got to Clark's truck Lois looked around. "It's so quiet, I mean really quiet not just typical Smallville quiet." she shuddered. "Do you think whoever did this is still here? Or was is some crazy drifter."

"I don't know" Clark said. "I don't think so though. I overheard one of the officers say there was an incoming phone call at the times of the murder. They think whoever did it was on the phone with Casey at the time. That doesn't seem very random does it?" he said quietly.

Lois shivered. Pull yourself together Lane, you are the daughter of a four star general. No freak is going to get the jump on you.She glanced over at Clark, it helped that she had the big strapping farmboy at her side. Though she would never let him know that. "The sheriff mentioned the game was cancelled and there is a curfew?"

"Yeah I'm not suprised about the game being cancelled and the whole town is on curfew starting at five. So once school is out we can head staight home." Clark said.

"Do you think we can stop a the video store on the way home, I know we promise your mom and dad we'd head straight home but all of the DVD's I picked out for our movie marathon are along the line of the horror genre and I could go for something different if you know what I mean." Lois said.

"Yeah we have to pass it anyway, we'll get in and out quick." Clark said and then let out a whistle. As they pulled into the parking lot they saw a swarm of reporters gathered out front.

"Are you kidding me?" Lois asked stunned. "It's a freaken zoo." she jumped out of the truck and met Clark around the front bumper. "Look isn't that Gale Weathers?"

"Yeah, she's talking to Sydney Prescott, that can't be good." Clark said watching as the young brunette got into a verbal spar with the reporter and then stormed off.

"Why, what's the big deal?" asked Lois curiously.

"About a year ago Sydney's mom was murdered and Sid was a witness her testimony put a guy named Cotton Weary in jail. Gale Weathers wrote a book about how Cotton couldn't be the killer and said Sid was wrong. Sidney has always been a nice girl, she's been through a lot. She's helped Chloe a couple times with the Torch." Clark said.

"Sounds like someone has a crush." Lois nudged him.

"Sydney? No she's just a friend. Anyways she's dating Billy Loomis." Clark said as they headed to the front door. "Not to sound too paraniod but just be on your guard today ok?"

Lois looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "You almost sound like you are worried about me."

Clark rolled his eyes. "Look if Casey and Steve were married by somebody they know than there is a good chance whoever did it could be a student."

Lois didn't like that thought. "You mean some psycho freak could be here right now, sitting next to us in class, or walking beside us in the hallway?" Lois asked feeling slightly panicked and disgusted.

"Lois calm down." Clark said taking her by the shoulders. "We are in the middle of a crowed school under the watchful eye of teachers, administration and the media outside. I doubt anyone would try anything here. Just be careful, try not to go anywhere by yourself."

"In other words don't shoot my mouth off and draw the attention of anyone who looks insane." Lois muttered. "All right, well you be carefull too. I'll meet you at your locker at final bell ok?"

"Ok" Clark said as the first period bell rang and they headed for their classes.

Lois was walking past the woman's washroom when the door slammed opened and Sydney Prescott came crashing through into the hallway colliding with Lois.

"Holy crap, don't do that." Lois said gasping for air she was pretty sure she had just lost about five years off of her life. "Are you ok? You look like you've seen a ghost."

Sydney looked at her for a second. "No I'm fine just some asshole playing a joke in the bathroom." she excused herself and Lois found herself alone in the hall. She glanced at the bathroom door and thought about going in to check it out but the last warning bell rang and she decided she didn't want to be late to class.

Ok there it is. Hope everyone is liking it.
