Something strange happened. My parents went out for the evening last night. I was up in my loft practicing using my "heat vision" on some candles when Desiree walked in.
She was hitting on me. I told her that Lex was my best friend and I'd never do anything to hurt him. She acted embarrassed, then left. Something weird is up with her. So I went to the expert on weird...but first had to make things right.
"Chloe," I called into the Torch office.
"What is it Clark. I'm kind of busy working on the paper."
"Look...I know I was a bit hard on you for researching stuff on Dawn. I just don't think it was right for you to think something was up with her, but I could really use my favorite reporter right about now."
"What's up?"
"Mrs. Luthor paid me a visit last night."
She got out from behind the computer and walked towards me.
"I'm listening."
I told her what happened and we found out she's been lying.
"Alison Sanders," Chloe told me as she printed the document.
After talking I told Chloe that I thought Alison had some sort of a hold on him. I decided to go talk to him.
"Can you keep digging up info on her? I know something's up. Gut instinct on this one."
"No problem."
I gave her small smile and went to talk to Lex...Didn't go so well. I was going to be honest with him, but he already knew.
And he made ME the bad guy. Lex is my friend and I would think he'd trust me enough not to make a move on his wife.
I told him the truth about "Miss Atkins" and he got more upset. Which I would understand since he loves her. But something isn't right about all this. He told me to leave and I saw HER on my way out.
"I don't know what you're doing to Lex, but I'm not dropping this," I told her determinedly.
I was upset, but I cooled off as I made my way to Dawn's house. Still had to give her a tour of the farm. Promised she could do it today. I had to delay it to talk to Lex...wish I hadn't now.
I knocked on the door. I checked th address to make sure it was right. A blond girl opened the door.
"Hi," she said. "Can I help you?"
"Hi. I'm Clark Kent. I'm a friend of Dawn's from school."
"Oh...Farmboy. She told me you were gonna show her a real life farm. Come on in."
"Farmboy?"
"She meant it in a good way," she said reassuring me.
I smiled and watched as she went to find Dawn.
FARMBOY?!
