Good instalment, and definitely a nice little cliff hanger, a Lexbomb.

Should keep the level of anticipation up a bit?

I won't whine or threaten you to hurry and post the next part. All things come to those who wait. (and besides, I'm heading into some busy times for the next few days).

Just post again when you're ready.
