Ah, that was brilliantly evil. And I thought I was mean to Clark. Blood poisoning was truly inspired. Having Lois contemplate the best object with which to disarticulate her fiance was particularly gruesome. Way to go, ML, I salute you! I'm intrigued to find out who does own the island.
Oh, and I know you're a lawyer, but are you really going to leave your readers hanging as to whether Clark can get arrested for kidnapping? I mean, if Lois refuses to cooperate, it's pretty much impossible for anyone to make a case that he kidnapped her. She could just as easily claim she was in on the 'sting' to flush Deter out and prove what a psychopathic creep and embezzler he was. Since he appears to be dead, though, I suppose there won't be a prosecution of him, but still...
