Really enjoyed this update.
"By your agency?" Clark couldn't see Lois's silent response to the question, but he saw Rachel's slight grimace before trying to regain ground by answering her own question, "No. No, of course not. That's ridiculous."
Haha, I bet I can picture the kind of look Rachel received. Like Kathy said, I think the cover story worked really well.
Rachel smiled as if at a memory. "Well, he *was* my date to the senior prom."
Lois straightened her shoulders a little, and the two women stared at each other.
Hee.
"They're your friends, Clark," Lois reminded him gently as she unpacked the bagels and coffee he had bought in North Carolina.
<waves to Clark as he passes through>
I haven't a clue as to how they're going to begin to look for Martha, but I can't wait to see it unfold. Maybe Scardino has some info? On that note I wonder if Menzies has thought at all about Clark's parents being loose ends as well and will take action or just leave it at 'alien and compound were destroyed'.
Wayne definitely wins 'best neighbor award'. I wonder when/if Clark will process the comment about the stranger at the Irig farm.
Anxiously awaiting the next part!
