Thanks, Groobie. Maybe Lois is now dispassionate about killing Rodolfo now, but maybe it's become an intellectual decision for her instead. And she has traveled far down a dark path, but I like to think that redemption is possible for anyone. Justice will have to be served, of course, but maybe - just maybe - Lois can fight her way clear of all of this.

Then again, maybe she can't, despite wanting to so very badly. We'll have to read and find out, won't we?

Next chapter up in minutes. Be sure to wear your body armor.
