I'm really enjoying this fic!! Thanks for the update
George Nelson. . .help me remember--that's Baby Face righ??
Monroe shrugged. “Let’s get Mister Nelson here some clothes before we take him down to headquarters,” she instructed.
“Why are you taking me down to headquarters?”
“Routine questioning,” Sheehan said, walking in. “Oh, and welcome to 1994, Mister Gillis. And in case you didn’t know, there’s still no statute of limitations on murder.”
I like the statute of limitations comment--I always thought that the clones were having it a bit to easy--leagally.
“Probably getting the money from the same place Capone did for his bribes,” Leocadio pointed out. “There wasn’t a hundred grand in all the bank jobs they pulled all together. If Luthor wasn’t dead, I’d be seriously looking at that bastard.”
Come on guys--don't discount Lex--being dead never stops him from causing trouble.
“Hey, he’s the first time one of my murder cases turned into ‘assault with a deadly weapon’ instead of the other way around,”
I still feel greatful for this!!
“The DA’s office has ordered police protection for both you and Mister Kent,” Murphy explained.
“I can’t do my job with a body guard hanging around,” Lois told him.
Typical Lois--even after such a traumatic experience!
The whole attempted asassination scene was very well writen--if to long to quote here. I love the three of them hiding behind the counter with the nurse even though "Lois knew the counter wouldn’t be much protection" (especially your description of Jonathan). You did a good job of capturing Lois' determination to get the story afterwards as well--following the trail of blood --Ick but so very Lois.
Finally--I love Clark's hospital scene--his confusion upon waking up--pain from the surgery--His parents and Lois. Just wonderfully put together.
He saw the concerned look Lois gave his mother.
“Bryant found more kryptonite in his chest,” Martha explained simply. Lois nodded and Clark had a sense than something had passed between the two women. Something he didn’t understand.
Poor Clark is just to ill to figure things out yet.
And then Jonathan drops that bomb on him--even if he is trying to help (ever the voice of reason) Clark must really feel like he's been hit by a truck.
Looking forward to the next installment!!
Soon Please!!!
