Hi, Virginia!
No worries. I read on my phone all the time. And then sometimes completely forget to follow up with feedback once the kids are in bed and I am free to use my computer.
To be fair, Lois didn't *need* Mayson to get to Clark. Mayson was just a convenient ride for him. She could have called a cab, had she thought of it. If anything, Mayson was dependent on Lois to have access to Clark - Dr. Klein doesn't know Mayson from a hole in the wall. But Lois is known to him, so he'd always let her pass.
Lois will crack the case by the end. It's off-page, but they do get caught! (I wanted to keep this more of the illness/struggle with the secret.)
Perfect quote/idea. Lois is well aware of the wrong time/wrong place. Which, of course, is all the more frustrating!

He'd better not die without her getting to confront him, huh?
Thanks for stopping in!
