“Lois?? There’s some Pest Control guy here….”
Clark stifled his laughter, and she covered his mouth with her hand, “Shhh…” She then called over her shoulder, “Okay, let them in.”
“I did.” Lucy knocked on the bedroom door. “They’ve sprayed everywhere already.”
Sorry, this whole scenario about the Pest Control guy simply does not work for me.
First, the Landlord or Management company has to inform the tenants that such a treatment will be taking place and it has to be done sometime after nine o'clock.
Second, they have already experienced being under surveillance by Luthor to begin with, why would they allow a pest company to come into their apartment? Alarm bells should be ringing! It doesn't make sense.
Other than that, this has been a cracklin' good read. It stinks that I have so much to do today and can't touch this again until tonight.
LOL! Yes, the Pest Control people wouldn't show up that early and certainly not without warning from the Landlord....but it's done this way so it's obvious to the reader what's going on. Not to Lois and Clark and Lucy(at least not at the moment). Sometimes when you're looking in one direction you don't think to look in the other. You'll see more from the 'Pest Control' and see them put the pieces together soon 
Hope you're enjoying the story.
