There is a lot of back and forth going on in this part.
They returned the equipment to the closet and taking the film and tape with them returned to Australia.
My friend went to Sydney during the Olympics, she said that the Opera House was the best part of the visit.
“It’s a lovely city. It is really clean and there are so many people, it’s incredible. The Opera House is beautiful. We haven’t gone in, but that white structure, right on the harbor, with the lights at night, is breathtaking.”
After returning to their room they started going through the manifests. They finally found the one they were looking for. Leslie Luckabee had flown first class. Looking through the rest of the names they did not find any Smythes, let alone J. Smythes.
Lois dropped the sheet on the table and with an I-told-you-so look and tone said, “I told you it had to be an alias. Okay, now we have to see about the security tape.”
Billy added, “We gave the area between Schuster’s field and Wayne Irig’s farm a going over like you wouldn’t believe. We used a fine-toothed comb. We found a couple hundred of those rocks.”
...a couple of hundred of those rocks? Seriously? How could Clark go through life in Smallville near Shuster's field and not feel the effects of the deadly radiation?
Billy said, “Buddy, we were your friends before we knew what you could do. After we found out we all started to realize that some of the scrapes we had gotten ourselves into, it was you that got us out without saying a word about it. We started comparing notes and realized that you had been our guardian angel all along. If there’s anything we can do for you, we owe it to you.”
If this is the case, than Clark should have had a lot more exposure to kryptonite.
The one aspect we don't see a great deal about is the hard work and research behind every Kent/Lane story.
