Ah, it figured. She had no idea what he was talking about. Clark smiled sheepishly in response. "I'm sure you'll get all the details on everything as soon as we get you back to the apartments." If not from him, then Buffy or one of the others. The place was filled with people who knew just as much, if not more, on the situation than he himself did.
Clark took another moment to cautiously scan the area. His secret might have been out among a certain group of individuals, but that hardly meant that he was willing to allow the general public an eye in on what he was and what he could do. Playing it safe was the best way to go, especially when there were demons out there looking to snatch and grab any and all who looked as though they were a subject of interest to Lilith. Which meant, in short, at the moment it would be either himself or Sookie. He really needed to get them both out of here at this point. After all, Sookie didn't have a protective amulet on. She was at risk. Clark wouldn't stand by and just let her get possessed.
Reaching toward her with his large arms, Clark scooped Sookie off her feet carefully. Then, after giving the area another quick once-over, Clark looked down at Sookie and slightly tightened his grip on her. "Hang on. This'll only take a few seconds." When he said that? He wasn't kidding. Once he got the verification from Sookie that she was ready to go, Clark took off in a flash. One moment they were standing in the street, the next Clark was slowly easing Sookie down as he landed them on the front steps to the apartment building.
"Are you all right?" He wouldn't quite release her until he was sure that she was steady on her feet.
