Paul,
so far this sounds absolutely fascinating, and I can't wait to see what you come up with with all the suggestions.
I have to agree that Lois would think of checking with M&J, but that she might not yet, and that she would definately go to the pier. I think that she would also get ahold of Bobby to find out if he has heard anything 'super' related.
For Clark, he is a bit trickier.. could be that where they have him placed is somewhere that there is a broken window, or a skylight. After all, his being recharged by the sun is not near as common knowledge as the evil glowing rock. He could recharge during the days faster than they think.?? Maybe?
PS. Tank you are incorrigable <g> Poor Jimmy :p
