Hmm... can I encourage you to post *again*?
I wasn't entirely surprised by the ending -- I'd been expecting something like this, and you did mention that a cliffhanger was upcoming... I am fascinated, though, by the idea of Lois becoming sick at the same time CJ is... I have a theory about that, but I can't wait to see your explanation, 'cause it should be good.
I like Henderson, and the overheard conversation was tantalyzingly vague -- we can do a pretty good job filling in the blanks, but of course, a jury wouldn't see it the same way... And I do want to know what the deal is with Benton.
Oh, and did I mention the part about CJ plunging to his death?!?!

Get back here and post the next part!
