Here we go, another 'normal' day at the Daily Planet!
After sending Jimmy on his scavenger hunt, Clark went to Perry’s office to check in and notify him of Jimmy’s whereabouts. He was disappointed when Perry told him that Lois had been assigned to cover the Mayor’s press conference on ‘what the city is doing about corruption in specific police precincts’, and that she would be gone most of the morning. Clark returned to his desk to resume his research on Dr. Goldberg. So far, he had struck out on finding a path to follow.
Clark, don't worry Lois has to work without you sometimes. It keeps life (and work) interesting.
“True, well, I’m definitely better than you at it.”
You don’t normally question my quick thinking, he thought.
What was that little comment all about?
She was right, it did still bother him. The Globe hadn’t answered all the questions he had. It had helped, but in some ways, it just led to more questions that would remain unanswered.
This is interesting, but if it doesn't have anything to do with the story, why start down that path? Perhaps Lois might be upset if/when she finds out the whole truth about Clark? Right now, he's leading her on a wild goose chase which reporters - ESPECIALLY Investigative reporters hate. Talk about wasting time!
He walked back around to the parking lot and surveyed the area. It was full of cars, but vacant of people, so he quickly headed to the Jeep and jumped in. Lois backed out of the space and darted out onto the street, heading towards Dr. Goldberg’s office for what was hopefully going to be a long, but successful, night.
What? No comment from Lois?
Normally she would have something to say about the 'discussion' they just had at the Press Club. Next part should be great!
