Hey!
Good story! Especially like the filler about Lex making a complete duplicate of her apartment. Totally sleazy.
"When I saw that I nearly freaked out. How dare he invade my privacy like that! I noted what was there and apparently he had people break in while we were in Smallville. He sent people in and they must have taken measurements and pictures so that they could duplicate everything, even the books on my bookshelf. It makes me furious to think of some sleezeball pawing through my lingerie. I haven't been in that apartment very much since we got back, just enough to move what I've needed and take care of the fish. Your apartment always seemed more like home to me so this is where we settled. Anyhow, if he'd do something like that, what else has he done?
It always surprised me that she didn't knock him out.
"Anyhow, about my old apartment. It's still there. The lease is still active." She looked around at Martha and Jonathan and then back to Clark, "It's a two bedroom and if we lived there then your parents would have their own bedroom."
This is your solution we discussed via PM. Well played. Many people forget that Lois' apartment is a two bedroom, because in the beginning, Lucy was splitting the rent with her.
A look of pure fury occupied her visage, "Wow, I'm so glad we moved here as soon as we got back from Smallville. You're the only one that's going to see me naked from now on. That does it. We are going to take that scumbag down if it's the last thing I do. Did you remove them?"
Yeccch!!!
"Here's another piece of the puzzle. Remember the Toasters? Toni Taylor?"
Lois had a sour expression as she replied, "I remember you kissing Toni Taylor."
"Oh, come on, Lois. I only did that so that you could get out without her seeing you."
"She sure looked like she was enjoying it. I know how she felt. I've been on the receiving end of those kisses of yours for a while now."
"Lois, I didn't kiss her because I wanted to and truthfully your kisses are much better."
"They'd better be, buster. You're treading on very thin ice with this one."
The banter between them on this was too funny!
Turning to Bill, Lois said, "Okay, it was Lex Luthor. The first charges are home invasion, invasion of my privacy, illegal monitoring and illegal wiretap. Of course those are chump change and with the kind of lawyers he has available he could get out of them. We need something heavy duty and enough proof to make it stick."
You gotta love Bill! They may be a pain, but he appreciates what they do for him and the MPD!!!!
