Jen Shadbolt has been an agent for a long time. He should be good at making connections
Amy You like Evan?
Virginia The barn, Miss Wallace, Lois deciding when to tell Clark about the cell - uhmmm.
Laura Clark has taken most revelations in his stride since the amnesia.
Vicki Well done!
MM Oh poor Lois!I can imagine that Clark's closeness is extremely addictive.
She wants as long as possible - but if she pushes for an extra day/hour, she risks him finding out some other way.
Elizabeth The closeness of the two posts was perfect to pick up the tempo as the story reaches it's conclusion. Hope you keep that up.
Good point re the tempo. I'll try to keep the posts between 1 and 2 days apart.
Emily Is it wrong to hope that she and Shadbolt get together?
I have been asking myself that question for three months!
Michael Huh, and here I figured Martha to be in her late fifties, early sixties and Evan in his mid forties So, they're much closer in age than that?
From Junction 1 ...
Scardino made the introductions, and Lois nodded, instinctively assessing each man in seconds. Shadbolt was cool. His grip was limp when they shook hands. She figured he objected to having a woman as his boss. The fact she was half his age just made it worse.
And from Junction 3 ...
"How long have you been on the job?"
The top layer of his animosity peeled away. "*This* job? Or *the* job?"
"*The* job."
"Thirty-three years."
Lois gave a low whistle. "That's a long time. Were you on this job from the time of the capture?"
"I came in one week later."
"Did you ask for it? Or were you ordered here?"
Shadbolt grunted bitterly. "Both."
I know they were both a long, long time ago, but Evan Shadbolt (despite having a four-year-old daughter) is in his fifties.
Thanks everyone for the FDK. I'm enjoying your speculation about how this might pan out.
Next part - tomorrow morning.
Corrina.
