Help me out with this one, Crivs, just in case I'm missing something. Readers of Action Comics #407 don't know that Clark Kent has been kidnapped until the moment revealed in the above page, and it comes a s a bit of a surprise as the actual kidnap isn't shown. As Clark says, he's being used as a hostage against himself, so he's clearly aware of the inherent irony in such a situation and understands the reason why he's in it (see his speech balloon in panel 2).
So why then, in panel 3, does he ask himself why he was snatched, and what he has do to with things? He just said why in the previous panel, and he undoubtedly heard the baddie explain his motivations in the panel before that, so there's no reason for him to wonder. So what's going on? Careless scripting, or some hasty last minute revision in one panel without first comparing it to the preceding one (or vice-versa)?
Any ideas? Enlighten me and set my throbbing head at rest.

If his speech balloon in panel 3 read as follows, it would make more sense: "King Andrews! I was looking for him for days! He's obviously got some plan cooking involving Superman... but what is it?"
