Disclaimer: Don't Own Smallville
"Okay please tell me we just got robbed," Lois begged.
"You got robbed," Clark said.
"Great. No I have to call Jamie. Since you're parents are out of town Martha put her in charge of the Talon. Jamie's not mean is she?"
"I guess you forgot the time Lucy tried to rob when Jamie was working," Clark said with a smirk.
"Crap."
"I'm kidding Lois. You're not the one that robbed the place so you'll be fine."
"How am I going to explain to her that in the mist of all these customers I let it get robbed?"
"Tell her she didn't have enough workers," Clark said guessing
Lois thought about it. "That might work. Good thinking Smallville," Lois said impressed. "Wish me luck," She said going to the phone.
"Lois has her moments," Clark said to Chloe smiling.
"You're loving this." Chloe said.
Clark's smile faded. "I think that's him."
Chloe looked. "Should I call the police?"
"I'm going to go after him. Tell Lois not to have Jamie call the police." He said taking off.
"Go get him superman," Chloe said to herself.
OOOOOOOOOOOOO
Jamie just came downstairs in the kitchen when the phone rang.
"Kent Farm," She said. "Lois slow down I can't understand you. What? Lois what are you talking about I didn't have enough workers? You didn't try to steal like your sister right? It was a joke Lois. I'll be right there. What do you mean Clark went after him? I'll get the as fast as I can," She said hanging up. "Why do people only try to steal when I'm in charge?"
OOOOOOOOOOO
"Please don't be mad," Lois said pleading.
"Lois I'm not mad. Did Clark catch him?"
"I don't know. I haven't seen him or Chloe. I'm really, really sorry. Way beyond-"
"I get it Lois. It seems slow now," Jamie said seriously.
"It wasn't when it happened!" Lois said freaking out.
"I'm kidding Lois. Not good with a sense of humor are you?"
"Only if it's directed towards Clark," Lois answered.
"At least your honest. Why don't you take off? I'll finish up here."
"Are you sure?"
"You can go hold down the fort," Jamie said with a smile.
"Okay."
"Hold on. Do you remember how much money was in the register?"
"It was busy."
"I was joking again."
"I swear you and Clark are related," Lois said taking off.
"That's what you think," She said to herself. "And why does everyone keep staring at me?"
"You look like you fought a lawnmower or something," A girl named Kate said that was writing down orders.
"Shoot! Maybe I'll just stay in the back," Jamie said going in the kitchen.
A guy that was washing dishes looked at her.
"It's not as bad as it looks," She told the kid and he returned doing the dishes.
She made her way to the back office and closed the door before looking at herself in the mirror. Okay she could see why people would stare. She had an ugly dark bruise on her check and chin with tiny bruises from fingerprints and cuts that weren't completely healed.
"What do they want? It was two days ago."
"Talking to your self again? If your not careful you might be Belle Reeve material," Genevieve said.
"We'll we both know it's your fault why I look like this. What's wrong Genevieve? Are you getting desperate that you had to bring Pete Davis into the picture?"
"I know I don't have to remind you that your time is running out and I'm running out of patience. And I don't like the fact that you sent Lex Luthor after me."
"I didn't tell Lex to go anywhere near you. Do you think I would cost Clark's secret by bringing Lex Luthor into this?"
"You almost sounded honest."
"It's the truth."
"I hope your getting closer to finding the stone."
"If you want it so bad how come you don't threatened others to find it? I wasn't the only one in China."
"No but you're the one that Jason gave the stone to and for some foolish reason you let it slip through your hands. I always thought you were smarter than that."
"I had it hidden. I can't help it if others are willing to kill for the stone too."
"I want that stone. You're will to live is running out."
Jamie smiled.
"You think this is a game?" Genevieve asked angry.
"No. I'm just not so naïve as you thought," Jamie said pulling a tape recorder out from her pocket and playing the tape back.
'I want that stone. You're will to live is running out,' Genevieve's voice threatened.
Jamie stopped the tape.
"You foolish girl," Genevieve said angry.
"You're the one that's foolish. I'm done having you threaten me and my family. You expose Clark's secret and I'll make sure the sheriff gets this tape and I also happen to know you killed Bridget Crosby. Don't ask how I know but I know what you're thinking. I don't have any proof which is true but until they examine Bridget Crosby's body or what's left of it I'm sure they'll find a little piece of evidence linking you to her," Jamie said smiling. "And for the record if something happens to me I'll make sure this tape will be found. Our little business is done. Get the hell out now."
Genevieve just glared at her before she slammed the door shut.
Jamie breathed a sigh of relief. "What was I thinking?" She said mostly to herself scared.
"You were amazing," Jason said crawling out from underneath the desk.
She blinked her eyes to focus. "I just can't believe I threatened her. I mean I've never threatened anyone."
"If it helps you were awesome," Jason said kissing her.
"What do we do now?"
"Well we make a few copies and I'll give one to my dad just in case. We can't be too sure."
"I feel like I'm going to faint."
"That's the fear talking."
"No it's-" Then she threw up.
"That's gross," Jason said grimacing.
OOOOOOOOOO
After that Jamie went back to the barn with her throat dry and scratchy from throwing up. All she wanted to do was take a long hot bath when she saw Chloe, Clark and Lois in the kitchen.
"I thought you were closing the Talon," Lois said.
"I was until I started throwing up and I was scaring the customers with the way I look. Wasn't good for business," Jamie said.
"Who are you?" Clark asked.
Jamie looked at Clark weird.
"Clark this is Jamie. You're cousin that I was telling you about," Chloe explained.
"What happened to you?" He asked concerned.
"Clark you know what-" Jamie started when Chloe cut her off.
"Clark has amnesia," Chloe explained.
"How?" Jamie asked shocked.
"He went after the kid that robbed the Talon and that was the last thing he remembered," Chloe said.
"Do you live here?" Clark asked her.
"Okay this is starting to freak me out," Jamie said.
"At least he has clothes on this time," Lois said with a smirk. "Clark can you open this jar," Lois asked tossing it at him.
Clark caught it and was going to twist it off when Chloe took it away from him fast.
"He doesn't need jelly that bad," Chloe said.
"Chloe, can I see you outside?" Jamie asked.
"Sure," She said as they walked outside. "I know this is weird with Clark but-"
"You know don't you?"
"Know what?" Chloe asked nervously.
"About Clark," Jamie said.
"Yes."
"How long have you known?"
"Alicia was the one that showed me the truth about Clark," Chloe admitted. "She was upset with the way everyone treated her because of her power that she didn't want Clark to go through that alone."
"That's why when Clark found Shelby you were covering with the tractor thing. I knew something was off."
"Please don't be mad."
"I'm not mad. I'm actually kind of glad. It's hard keeping his secret."
"Tell me about it. I've only been doing for an hour and it's hard. I mean with Clark's memory gone," Chloe said.
"Thank you for watching out for him."
"It's kind of weird seeing him not knowing about his strength."
"If you want I can take over chaperone duties if you need a break."
"Actually I wanted to go get information about the guy that caused Clark to lose his memory."
"Go ahead. Thanks again Chloe for not saying anything about Clark."
Chloe smiled before going to her car. Jamie went up to the loft and found Clark there.
"You sent her away," Clark said accusing.
"She wanted to find information about the guy that did this to you," She said hurt.
This wasn't Clark at all.
"Lois says we're close."
"As close as cousins can be. You even trusted me with your secret."
He looked at her in surprise. "I trusted you with that?"
"So did your parents. I know this is a hard time for you not knowing who you are but believe me when I say I would never betray you."
He looked at her for a moment. "You wouldn't. Would you?"
"I can't wait for Chloe to figure this out. The sooner we find this guy we can get you back."
"I'm still the same. I just can't remember anyone."
"I know you don't feel comfortable around me for some reason but you have to be careful. If certain people found out the truth they'd use it against you."
"That's what Chloe said."
"She's right. Look," She said standing up. "Since you're not comfortable being around me alone why don't I take you to the Torch."
"What's the Torch?" Clark asked looking at her weird.
"Torch is the schools newspaper that Chloe works for. She's there now. I can drop you off if you want."
"You don't go to the same school?"
"I'm a little bit older than you. Come on. Maybe something there will jog your memory."
"What happened to your face?" Clark asked making Jamie smirk.
OOOOOOOOOOOO
"Does anything seem familiar?" Jamie asked as they walked the halls.
"No.," Clark said looking.
"This is a surprise," Jason said in his uniform.
"Jason, can I talk to you in your office in a few minutes?" Jamie said.
"Okay," Jason said looking at her weird as they continued walking down the hall.
"You know the assistant coach?" Clark asked surprised.
"Actually we've been together since the beginning of the school year."
"Guess it's a good thing you're not a student here."
Jamie smiled as they walked in the Torch.
"What are you guys doing here?" Chloe asked surprised.
"I came to drop Clark off."
"Something wrong?" Chloe asked.
"He just feels comfortable around you," Jamie said.
"Well I was just about to call you. The kid's name is Kevin and I found his address," Chloe said smiling. "I thought you might want to tag along."
"It's okay," Clark said. "You can come."
"Don't' you think I might scare him away with the way I look?" Jamie asked.
"It's not that bad," Chloe tried.
"When people keep staring at me everywhere I go yeah it's bad. Why don't you go meet Kevin and call me if you need back up. Hey you can bring Lois with you!" Jamie said.
"Are you sure you don't want to come?" Clark asked begging.
"Have fun." Jamie said as she went to Jason's office.
"What was wrong with Clark?" Jason asked.
"It's nothing. Jason I don't know how to say this but-"
"I need you on the field Jason," Coach Quigly said.
"Coming," Jason said. "I'm sorry. Can we talk about this later?"
"Yeah. I'll be back at the farm."
OOOOOOOOOOOOO
She went back to farm and grabbed a glass of water before heading upstairs to the bathroom. She turned the steam on to the shower and was about to undress when she started to throw up again.
"Yuck," She said groaning.
She looked down at the sink to rinse it out when she saw blood.
"You might want to get checked out." A voice said scaring the crap out of her.
"How the hell did you get in here?" She demanded.
"You left the back door unlocked or I should say there's no back door except for a screen," Lex said.
"What are you doing here?" She asked trying to block out the image of Lionel in the bathroom before as Clark.
"I came by to see Clark."
"So you let yourself in someone's home? Get out!"
"Why are you so freaked out about this?"
"Are you serious? Get out of the bathroom now," She said.
"I'll wait for you downstairs then."
She breathed a sigh of relief before turning the water off to the shower and drinking the glass water in one large gulp when her cell rang.
"Hello?"
"It's me. I need you down at Sommerholt as soon as you can. Chloe is in the lab somewhere and they won't let me see her," Lois said freaked out.
"Where's Clark?"
"Right here," Clark said scaring the shit out of her.
"What is it with guys and bathrooms?" Jamie said.
"Was that Clark?" Lois asked.
"Yeah. We'll be there as soon as we can," Jamie said hanging up.
"We need to leave now," Clark said.
"Lex is downstairs. We can't."
"I'll just use my super speed and he won't notice," Clark said picking her up and taking off.
A minute later they were on the roof of Sommerholt where a cute looking kid was.
"I think I'm going to throw up again," Jamie said when Clark sat her down. "Who's he?"
"I'm Kevin the one that robbed the Talon," He said.
"I guess I missed some stuff," She said looking at Clark.
"Kevin will fill you in," Clark said as opened the latch like nothing.
"Wasn't that locked?" Kevin asked.
"Stuck," Clark said as they all hopped down when Clark froze.
"Clark you okay?" Kevin asked.
"You and Jamie go get Chloe," Clark said.
Jamie saw the green meteor rock in jars. "Kevin go ahead. I'll catch up with you," She said as Kevin left.
"You should have gone with him," Clark groaned.
"Your welcome, "Jamie said as she knocked the rack over breaking the jars before taking off.
She heard Kevin arguing with his father when she stepped in the room and saw Chloe strapped to a table.
"Don't touch that," His father said.
She saw Kevin unconscious. "Are you just going to wipe everyone's memory that finds out about this?"
"Everyone has memories that they wish they could forget. Don't you? I could erase them and let you remember everything else if you let me do this," He said.
"You don't get to play God with other people's minds. Maybe yours should be erased," She said.
"NO!" Chloe yelled as a light was going to touch down on her.
Clark came through and crushed the beams when the sheriff and Lois came in shocked.
"Guess I shouldn't call you Smallville anymore," Lois said stunned.
Kevin came to. "Kevin do something! Please!" Jamie begged when his father grabbed her. "I've already been beat up once," Jamie muttered knocking the dad out.
"Sheriff," Clark said nervously.
"This explains a lot," Lois said.
Kevin reached his arm out and erased their memories.
"Clark are you just going to stand there?" Lois asked. "Help me untie Chloe."
"Thank you," Jamie said to Kevin.
OOOOOOOOOO
"Kevin I wanted to thank you again," Jamie said as they walked out in the hall.
"I'm the reason all of this started. It's the least I could do," He said.
"No. It wasn't you. It was your father. What I don't get is why didn't he erase his memory instead of making you pay for what he did?"
"I don't know. Maybe because I was a witness," He said.
"Hey I've seen you somewhere," Clark said back to himself.
"I don't know how Clark. This is the first time ever seeing him," Jamie said covering for Kevin.
"Huh," Clark said looking confused walking away.
Jamie smiled. "Good luck Kevin."
"Thanks," He said going out the back way.
"You know I don't remember what happened in the last 24 hours but I know I've seen that kid before," Clark said.
"Well I have to say it's nice to have the old Clark back," She said.
"Was I that bad?"
"Let's just say it was weird seeing you not knowing anything. Clark something's been happening to me that I haven't told anyone."
"What?"
"I've been throwing up a lot with blood."
He looked at her worried. "Have you been to a doctor?'
"Yes and they can't find anything wrong with me. I'm starting to think it has to do with the visions more."
"But you haven't had one since prom."
"I know. That's when I started throwing up. Another thing, Lex was in the bathroom."
"Are you sure?" He asked shocked.
"I guess he saw me throwing up and I left him downstairs when you came to get me."
"I'll deal with him."
OOOOOOOO
"What happened to you?" Jason asked.
"I had to help Clark with a problem. It's over now. Sorry," She said.
"I've been thinking. Since we blackmailed my mother I want you to move back in with me."
"Jason I can't," She said.
"That wasn't the answer I was hoping for," He said hurt.
"It's not that I don't want to move back in I do. I just can't keep moving back to the farm every time a problem comes up. It's not fair to my uncle and I forgot I missed being around them."
"Normally I would understand since your family has always been close but with what happened to mine I just don't get it."
"I just don't want to move back in with you until this whole this is really over. Just because we have your mother on tape it doesn't mean anything. Right now it's the only leverage we have against her."
"So we still pretend that we're not together until this is over. I have a feeling that one of us is not going to come out of this untouched. I just want to spend whatever time we might have left together."
"We're not going to die. Don't you think I'd have a vision?"
"Maybe you won't have one until it's too late. It's happened to you before."
"Are you saying that we should leave town? Because I can't," She said. "Not when it's coming close to the end. I promise I'll move back in with you but not until this is over. I haven't forgotten about you," She said kissing him.
