Thanks for the installment! Houdini is a smart one. Reminds me of the Saint Bernard we had when I was growing up. If you came into the back yard through the house you were a friend. If you came into the back yard through the gate you had better be with a family member or he would stop you in your tracks.

Just curious...will Clark be offended when he hears people talking about "Mad Dog", not realizing it's Mad Dog Lane, not mad dog Houdini?

Ahhh good boy Houdini!!

It makes sense that he'd know how to get home, and I'm glad Clark met them there.

Can't wait for the next installment, now that Lois knows and Clark knows that Lois knows.... And Houdini knows that Lois knows lol

Thanks for sharing these wonderful stories with us every week!!

Yay! Houdini has warmed up to Lois ^_^

And Lois knows now....

Can't wait to see what happens next! Is Clark going to accept that Lois knows and let her help him? :3

Houdini: Wau wau, wuff wuff.

Doesn't sound like English to me. wink

That's an interesting thought. Thanks for sharing the story about your dog. Unfortunately, we never had a dog. I'd love to have one but I don't have enough time, so that will have to remain a dream.

Houdini is an important ally for Lois. grin

Thanks so much for reading and reviewing. sloppy

I forgot to mention that I love the last sentence:

A smile flashed across Clark’s face. “That’s a relief. He’s a good judge of character, this one.”


Yes, he is! Only 6 days to the next chapter! Yay!!

Hi Barbara!

Quote
Clark was gone as if he'd never been there in the first place. But the icy slope he'd created melted before her eyes.
I guess she won’t be chasing after MagiKal’s cape while friend-zoning Clark.
LOIS: Unless it helps him cope?

Quote
Because Houdini represented Clark more than anything, he reinforced the strange events of the night and sort of proved that she hadn't just been hallucinating.
HOUDINI: You bet your tail I’m worried. Food giver is missing and it’s supper time soon. I want my snack!
LOIS: You speak?
HOUDINI: Yes , I speak. Unless you’re hallucinating?

Quote
He released a low growl, baring his teeth as if Clark was behind him in need of his protection. Lois kept a respectful distance.
HOUDINI: Did you smash a door in food giver’s face? Call food giver a good boy? Sniff the crime boss’s backside?

Quote
Yet he chose to work as a freelance reporter covering dog shows.
CLARK: Houdini likes the VIP access to the female contestants.

Quote
Naturally, Houdini didn't reply. He just tilted his head and started wagging his tail.
HOUDINI: Food giver come to chicken woman?

Quote
what’s with the dog? Are they implementing safety measures for overzealous reporters back at the Planet?”
laugh
Yep. The higher-ups think that a male companion will make the Mad Dog more amenable to safe compromises. Unfortunately, they used that phrasing in the HR request, too, and now there’s a dog instead of a man in the Daily Planet’s employ.

Quote
But would Clark think of her as a friend now that he'd revealed his identity in front of her, a reporter?
No, Clark revealing himself in front of her means he does not see her as a “friend”.

Quote
. She doubted the setter would be patiently following her if his master were close.
HOUDINI: Food giver follow good smell two foot. I follow good smell two foot and find food giver.

Quote
Or was something else going on? She was worried for him. It had been almost two hours since his hasty retreat.
Two whole hours? laugh
LOIS: What do you mean ‘helicopter mom’?

Quote
"What am I going to do with you?" Lois wondered aloud and looked at the dog at her side.
Find out if her cooking really tastes like doing food?

Quote
he could have made a fortune with his tricks. And yet he decided to live in an old trailer that looked so worn that it seemed like pure luck it hadn’t fallen apar
Don’t worry, it’s the Tardis model.

Quote
“You know where I live?” He sounded surprised rather than angry.
A good reporter has her sources.

Quote
A smile flashed across Clark’s face. “That’s a relief. He’s a good judge of character, this one.”
Aww, he has his dog sniff out all his prospective girlfriends before bringing them home.
LOIS: “all”?

Fan as always! And looky there, with me being a wee bit late, there’s another up already hyper

Clark’s muttered ‘sorry’ had been loaded with pain, guilt and fear, so much so that she couldn't help but wonder if that were her emotions or his.

GAHHHH!! LOVE this!


Quote
Suddenly, she'd found herself in Clark's arms, hovering several feet above the ground. Time had seemed to stand still, suspending their fall, like a dream. His wide eyes and drawn face, the hasty heaves of his chest, however, had been real enough.

Gahh what a beautiful paragraph! Especially the “like a dream” sentence!


Quote
"Haha, very funny," Lois deadpanned. "He belongs to… a friend. I'm just keeping an eye on him."

She felt a pang of regret, because she wished that were true. But would Clark think of her as a friend now that he'd revealed his identity in front of her, a reporter?

Billings raised a single brow. "Looks more like he's keeping an eye on you."


LOL I love that!!! And GAHH yeah… Clark still wants to be your friend and more!! You just have to show him it’s okay somehow!!!


GAHHHHH this part was so amazing! I sooooo loved the interactions between Lois and Houdini! And YAY Houdini for leading her to the RV!!! And GAHHH I’m so glad Clark didn’t panic and run… he embraced the fact that Houdini brought her there. love

On to the next…
