"What?" Both Lois and Clark said at the same time.

"I don't think this is any of you and your friend's business, Miss Lane."

"Come on." Lois said.

"Well, he lied to us. His blood is all over the truck. And we found a bloody t-shirt with a bullet hole in his locker."

Clark stared George, he looked weary and afraid.

The agent said, "Well what do you say for yourself? Dean."

"I think you're confused. Someone made a mistake."

"A mistake in trusting you."

Then she hauled him away.

Lois and Clark went outside and found themselves at a local park. Clark sat down the park bench. He needed time to think. He knew Chloe would freak out once he told her and she blame herself.

Lois was pacing back and forth; she folded her arms and tapped her right finger on her left arm, nervously.

"Lois. Can you stop that? You're making me dizzy."

Lois stopped right in front of him and said in a high pitch voice, "Stop? Clark my cousin was arrested and escaped and now is at large as a fugitive. And an old friend is arrested taking the fall for her. If there's a time to panic? Now is the time."

"Lois, relax we'll figure this out? So how do you know this guy?"

"We grew up together. When we were kids we lived on the same air force base and then we always bumped into each other while the general was hauling me from base to base. He's a good guy Clark. He was a Boy Scout."

"He was that squeaky clean huh?"

"No he was a Boy Scout. You know Boy Scout's of America. Always be prepared and all that good stuff."

"So were you two… you know…" Clark asked awkwardly.

"No, he was cute in all in his uniform. But nah, he was always a little goody too shoe for my taste. I always went for the rebel back then. Besides I always thought it would be a little weird dating a guy whose first kiss was a family member."

"You mean he kissed Lucy?"

"No, Chloe."

Clark said shocked, "Chloe? I didn't think they knew each other."

"Well, George didn't remember her they were eight at the time."

"Eight? Chloe first kiss was when she was eight?" Clark asked aghast.

Lois smirked, "Yeah…wait Smallville. Oh how sweet you thought Chloe was your first kiss."

"No…well… wait she told you about that?"

"Clark, we're girl cousins we talk about that kind of stuff. And come on Clark, the girl kisses you the first day you meet and you don't think she was experienced?"

Clark shrugged; he wanted to change the subject. Now wasn't the time to talk about his first kiss.

"So did Chloe know George for a while?"

"Just that summer she stayed at the base when she was eight. They were cute you know. She was real curious back then and got her self in trouble and he always loved to play the hero."

Lois sat down, sadness seeping through her, "I can't believe my little cousin has gotten herself in such huge trouble. Chloe in jail? I just can't see it."

"Either could she, apparently." Clark said lightly. He realized that was in appropriate thing to say.

Then Lois looked at him suspiciously, "Clark, you didn't have anything to do with this did you? Because if you did you know you just made things worse for Chloe."

Clark was about to say something in his defense when his phone rang.

He answered it loudly, "Oh, hi mom? How are things in D.C?"

Then Lois grabbed the phone away from him. There is a word or two I would like to say to your mother.

"Hey, Mrs. Kent. Do you know what you're son has been up to?"

Lois waited for a reply she heard silence until she heard Oliver Queen's voice in the background,

"So, Chloe where do you want to sleep for tonight? Why do you have such a weird look on your face?"

Chloe sighed, "Because Lois is on the phone. Lo, this is not what it sounds like?"

"Oh, and what is it suppose to sound like? Like my cousin the fugitive staying at my ex-boyfreind's house …wait a second. He rescued you didn't he?"

"Lois, I can explain."

Then Clark grabbed the phone from Lois, "Chloe are you ok."

Lois glared at Clark.

Chloe said guiltily, "She must really hate me right now."

"No, Chloe, I'll explain things."

"No, Clark she's my cousin. I'll do it. Put her back on."

Clark handed Lois the phone back.

Lois took it more solemnly, "Chloe, at least tell me your ok."

"I'm fine Lo. Look I just need to help and I had to do something important. So important I couldn't worry about the law."

"So important…" Then Lois started to whisper and moved away from Clark, "Ollie did rescue you? So what are you like his side kick?"

"Lois." Chloe said.

"Well, while you were playing vigilante with my ex-boyfriend. A good friend of mine George got arrested."

Chloe dropped the phone.

Oliver took it. He talked to Lois calming her down for a while.

"Where is she now?" Lois asked.

Then Ollie looked behind him and saw Chloe gone along with his keys.
