Chapter 2

Lex called his father and recorded the conversation. "Dad, you're never to visit here again. If you touch Clark again, I'll have you thrown in jail."

"I only threatened it."

"That's not what he said and that is not what doctor found when I had him examined by a private physician. If I took this evidence to court, you would spend a long time in jail." Lex hadn't saw physical signs of rape, but he could easily have a doctor lie on Clark's behalf. He doubted that would be necessary. The cup was still in the small trashcan in the office and the damage of dragging a large man was there for anyone to see.

Lionel said, "I would like to see you tomorrow."

"I'll meet you in front of the Talon," Lex said. "One o'clock. I'll have the sheriff with me."

"Are you going to wear ponytails?" Lionel asked.

"See you, tomorrow. Bye, Dad." Lex hung up. Did his father have his spies following him? If his father wanted to waste his money having someone follow him and Clark around that was his choice, Lex had nothing to hide. He called Sheriff Adams and explained that his father was following him and threatened Clark. He asked her to supervise a visit tomorrow.

"I'll be over," Sheriff Adams said.

"The sheriff is coming over," Lex said.

"Take off the wig and wash off the makeup," Clark said.

Lex came back to the room in few minutes. "So are you going to tell her that you were raped?"

"There is no evidence."

"You're a large person and you were dragged across a room. There has to be evidence."

"He washed me afterwards," Clark said.

Sheriff Adams arrived with one forensics person with a camera and evidence bags. "Mr. Luthor, what happened that you feel you need police protection?"

"My roommate was raped by my father while I was at work. He implied that he had been watching the house and knew that he was alone," Lex said.

"Where did it happen?" the sheriff asked.

"Downstairs in the office," Clark said.

"Has anyone been down there since the crime occurred?" she asked.

"Yes, but we walked around the area where it happened," Lex said. "We haven't clean up anything."

They walked down the stairs. "Clark, what happened?"

"I was working at Lex's desk. I thought that Mr. Luthor let himself out and I felt a pinch on my arm. I woke up on the floor with Mr. Luthor standing over me. I felt wet between my legs and knew I just had ejaculated," Clark explained.

"If you were dragged there would be marks," the sheriff said. She went to the chair and had the forensic person take pictures of the dents on the chair seemingly made from someone's head. There were abrasions on the carpet where someone appeared to be dragged. "Check the carpet for semen stains."

The forensic person put the cup with the semen into the bag then put some discolored carpet fibers into an evidence bag.

"There was a large person dragged in this room. If that's your father's semen on the carpet, he'll be looking forward to spending a long time in jail," the sheriff said. "You should have reported this when it happened."

"He's Lex's father. I didn't think anyone would believe me," Clark said.

"Did anyone else hear your father threaten to rape Clark?" asked the sheriff.
.
"My maid might have." Lex said. "Thank you for coming out."

"It's my job," the sheriff said. "Clark, I'm sorry."

"Thanks, ma'am," Clark said.

After the sheriff and the forensics person left, Lex put his arm around Clark, "Let's make dinner."

"I don't want this going to court," Clark said.

"You're the victim. You have no reason to be ashamed."

"What if it comes out that I'm an alien?" Clark went to the kitchen.

"That won't happen."

"He'll threaten to tell."

"No one will believe him."
