Playing for Keeps Lucy shrugged. "Just that I'm confident that you and Clark will find a

and his goons dragged Clark away with them. The police haven't even
recovered his body yet."
Lucy nodded. "Well, that's an advantage."
"What?"
Lucy held her hands up in front of her in an effort to calm her
agitated sibling. "Look, I know that it seems to the rest of the world
that Clark Kent was shot down in that club tonight." Lucy shrugged
again. "But it's not as if he's actually dead."
Lois began to pace while tearing at her hair. "Lucy, what are you
smoking? Clark Kent, my partner, my best friend and the most wonderful
man I've ever known is dead. He was gunned down right before my eyes!"
"I know what you told me, Lois. But it's not like a bullet can actually
hurt Clark. After all, he is Superman."
Lois' mouth opened but no words came out. Lucy had to stifle a giggle,
it looked so funny. Then the realization struck her. "Omigod," she
said. "You didn't know?"
