Glad you found time to write and post. Becoming an uncle is a very exciting and distracting experience.
At least Clark and Lois got away and have a chance to regroup. Is Spenser Spenser the boss or is his abandoned island just a luxury? I hope they get a time to enjoy themselves there. Shower, sunbathe, talk...
It's interesting how the characters are developing. Carl is part of the gang, but he wants to help Lois and Clark. They must have had a strong relationship as boys.
Awaiting the next post,
