You raise a pretty good point, Terry. Perry is the prototype of all workaholics, so he could have gotten in at 7 AM or so. That would mean that by the time Lois gets there, it's been anywhere between five and six hours since he called them.

Could they have finished all they needed to do in five hours? If they'd found themselves on the receiving end of a White-style yelling contest a few times, would they have worked a little faster just so they could get out of there ASAP?

I don't know. Maybe I should throw in a reference somewhere to at least part of the newsroom being surrounded by police tape.

Yeah, think I'll run with that.

Thanks for your thoughts!

Next chapter should be up Friday at the latest. Could be sooner, but I'm not making any promises on that.
