Now the story gets really interesting!
Lowering her voice, she said, "We need to talk. Do you think you could get me out of here without my shadow seeing us?"
Instead of a reply on the phone, she heard a voice behind her as she heard the click of the phone being hung up, "I think we can manage that."
Cute banter!
"Then I want you to hold them for me." With obvious reluctance, Lois pulled the rings off of her finger. She looked at them for a long time lovingly before she finally closed her eyes and stuck out her hand with them on her open palm for him to take. He didn't take them immediately and when he didn't he could see a tear forming at the corner of her eye as she said, "You'd better take them before I decide I can't go through with this.
She's going to go through with the engagement to Luthor?!
Oh man, this is wild!
"They will be with me 24x7. They are almost as precious to me as you are." He opened the buckle of his belt, revealing a small chamber inside. Lois saw his wedding band in there and after he placed her rings inside he closed it again. "Wherever I go, they go."
Excellent hiding place, better than a pocket in his cape!
"Jack insists on helping and so does Jimmy. Bill got him out on a technicality. Because of Luthor's actions he was never read his rights and also since it was Luthor that 'found' the explosives in Jimmy's apartment, there was no search warrant issued and the evidence is inadmissible. I think we can guess who planted the ‘evidence'. Perry believes that the board of directors was either bribed or coerced into the sale. Jack's going to help him get to the bottom of that. Jimmy is following up on leads provided by Nigel. We're getting close, but we need to keep Luthor distracted so that he doesn't see what is going on around him."
That's right! Talk about major writer error from the series!
Smiling, he said, "You are acting a part, so I think the proper term is ‘Break a leg'."
With a wry expression she said, "I wish I could break one of his."
Watch out Lex!
Lois persisted, "Cat, things aren't always what they appear to be. Please! As my friend, I want you there. I also want you to bring George. I want you both there."
What a splendid way to end this part. Lois and Cat are friends! Pity she can't let her in on what they are doing. Wait a minute.
Why can't she tell Cat?
