Chapter 2 - X-ray vision, super speed

Clark had arrived at the crime scene in time to watch the fire department pump the basement of a little antique store called The Hidden Door. He managed to slip past the other reporters and barriers – a feat that came rather easily for a person with super-speed. Once around the side of the building, using his X-ray vision, Clark scanned the building for any weaknesses in the structure, possibly from the quake. The only questionable area was a wall in the sub-basement where the mortar had been eroded away from the force of the water spray from an overhead water main. It looked like it had simply blown out from too much pressure in the line.
