Wow, Laura! Another fabulous chapter! I've been studying most of the night for a test tomorrow and I needed this break. So imagine how excited I was to see this update!
I don't have much time for my usual proper feedback, but I'm still with you!
This officer seems to believe Clark, somewhat. He gave in to him and his defense. It's almost as if he knows that there is a big hole in these allegations. And, even though Clark and Lois aren't as close as we all hope that they will get, Clark already has a connection to her. He can feel that she is in trouble.
O’Brien gave Clark Kent a hard look as soon as he finished his story. He had dutifully recorded the conversation, but in his own opinion, the man was innocent. It was all a strange situation, really. He wasn’t sure of the protocol for such a thing. But if they could get that Lane woman in to collaborate with Kent’s story, the man should be off the hook. But it wasn’t his place to let Clark Kent know that.
I knew it! This guy is apparently one of the few good and honest cops in that police department...besides Henderson.
“I’m going to either go back to school for a new degree or I’ll try free lancing articles for a while to get me back on my feet.” The thought of leaving Metropolis and Lois knotted Clark’s stomach, but also served to strengthen his resolve.
Lane and Kent can partner up at the Daily Planet instead. Wouldn't it be poetic justice for both of them to replace Claude?
Well done, Laura! You're all that and a bag of chips! Not so long for the next part...ay?
