I love how Lois and Clark are still the perfect team, even when one of them is aboard a spaceship!
--- As you say, Major Vukovich. Please have Lois respond as soon as possible. I’ll be waiting beside my computer until then.
Lois nodded to herself and clicked the ‘reply’ button.
--- Clark, this is Lois. There’s been a murder aboard the Prometheus, the first one ever, according to Major Vukovich. The victim is Claude Guilliot, and yes, he’s THAT Claude. We’re almost completely certain it isn’t suicide, but we don’t have much more yet. Claude was posing as a computer tech, and we need you to find out why he was up here in the first place. There has to be money behind it. We’ll send more information as soon as we can verify it.
Very creative and very clever! I like it!
Lois lifted her eyebrows again. “I thought you were a rookie at this, Karen.”
“I’m not fully trained but I’m also not stupid. As soon as we realized Claude was dead, we sealed his room and put a sergeant inside to fully examine the contents.” She took a big swig and swallowed. “One note in the station’s favor is that we didn’t have to wait for a search warrant.”
“And you found what?” Lois prompted.
“It looked like he’d had a party in there the night before. There was evidence of a female guest on the sheets and his clothes were all there.
Oooh... a female guest!!! If he treated her anything like he treated Lois, we might have the prime suspect would-be-murderer on our hands finally!!! RIGHT??!?!? Also, I really enjoyed getting to know Karen more in this part and the developing relationship between her and Lois. Hmm... but maybe SHE'S the killer.... and she's just pretending to uncover clues. Maybe SHE was the female guest!!!! Ooh, this is just like playing CLUE!
More soon please
