If she didn't trust Mr Kent, she shouldn't go into the cell. Period.
If she did, she shouldn't be thinking about possible means of escape.
Yes, Lois! Means of escape, means of escape!!
It was Longford.
"L ...Longford," she said.
No, no, no! We're denied AGAIN! Arrggghh!!!
He knew she wouldn't come into his cell now.
But he had hope that she would come back tomorrow.
And that meant everything.
Yay for giving Clark hope!!
"I'm Lois," she said.
He blinked a couple of times. He swallowed again - rough and scratchy - and hauled in a trembly breath.
"I'm Clark," he said.
He can talk! He can talk!!! Thank goodness!!
Yeah, you know better than to leave us for days on end with this cliffy!

Looking forward to the next part in 24h!!
