Fantastic idea, Paul! Wish I'd thought of it.
I think you're going to find yourself with a lot of hard work, though, trying to sift through the suggestions every single week and then making a story out of them. Good luck.
Thanks for setting it in my favourite time-period, too. I always like stories where Lois
knows.
Right, now to the task in hand. Well, Lois needs to cover a few basics - check with M&J, check he's not at his apartment, make sure Jimmy and any other friends don't know where he is. Check his diary, if possible - maybe he's got an engagement he forgot to tell her about. Check Star Labs and/or Dr Klein. Check the hospitals - it's always possible that he could have been admitted without identification.
Obviously she needs to be at Pier 31 tonight to check out this mystery package, but she needs to be *very* careful! Can we send some protection along with her? Of course, she could always take Henderson into her confidence, explain the situation and then have a cop with her tonight.
Following Wendy's suggestion about sunlight, Clark could pretend he's more badly affected by the kryptonite than he really is - that might stop them exposing him to it quite so often, and he might overhear some useful conversations if he pretends he's unconscious when he's not.
If he can lose the blindfold, he could attempt the opposite tactic - try not to react when they expose him to kryptonite. Try to make them believe that repeat exposures lessen its the effectiveness.
That's all I can think of for now.
