“Hm, this is very interesting, Lois.” Clark was reading the mug. “It says here, ‘Your name of Lois has created a practical, responsible, stable nature, and you desire to direct the efforts of others rather than to take order or ask permission. You have a determined, self-reliant, capable nature and resent any interference, although in your desire to help, you are inclined to become involved in the lives and decisions of other people. You like to make your own decisions and to be the master of your domain. You feel a limitation in your own expression when it is necessary to reach another through tact and understanding.’ That’s pretty accurate. Wow.”

Lois laughed. “Yeah, Lucy thought so, too. She said it was scary how accurate that mug was.”

Clark turned the mug over to see that on the other side, it said, ‘The name Lois means Battle Maiden.’ “Battle Maiden, eh?” Clark chuckled. “I’d say that’s pretty much on target. You’re a fighter.”

“...the third victim, Amanda Byers, is described as a well-dressed 41-year old African-American female,” proclaimed the news anchor grimly. “She was found dead at four o’clock in the morning on the G train. The victim was given an overdose of GHB, a drug commonly used in date-rape situations. While unconscious, Byers was raped and left to die on the train.”

Clark had set the mugs down and stood, motionless, behind the sofa. He rested his hands on Lois’ shoulders gently.

The newsman continued, “The police have dubbed the attacker as the Hyde and SEEC rapist because he seems to strike between the Hyde Street stop and the State Environmental and Ecological College stop on the G train. The first victim was sexually assaulted last Thursday morning. Another passenger entered the train, preventing the criminal from committing the rape. The second victim was raped and found on Saturday morning around the same time. Both women survived. Because the victims were unconscious during the attack, it will be very difficult for police to identify the Hyde and SEEC rapist. If you have any information, or saw any suspicious behavior on or near the G train, please contact the Metropolis Police Department immediately.”

‘After all,’ she thought, ‘this is my own damn fault. I should never have been there in the first place.’ Aside from all that, Lois had been very lucky. She had not been raped; she was saved in the nick of time. ‘Rape victims need counseling. I don’t,’ she mused.

Another night?! Did he mean he’d stay over more than one night? “Hm. I think I’d like that,”
