Perry let out a whoosh and said, "Poor woman."
Jack rewound the tape to its beginning, snickered and replied, "She wouldn't be after the divorce settlement." I lol'd at this.
"Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad." "How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice. "You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.”

Perry grabbed his satchel and pulled out some papers. He said, "Lex has maintained that the Daily Planet building was under-insured and that he couldn't afford to rebuild. Well, now, Lexel Investments did have additional insurance on the Daily Planet building." Perry paused.
Jack acting the straight man, asked, "How much?"
Perry, with an I-told-you-so tone said, "About twice what it would've cost to repair it." He paused to let that sink in and then gave the figures, "Lex Luthor cleared a cool seventy-five mil on the deal."
Jimmy said, in an awed tone, "That's motive. He's nailed." Henderson should be proud of all of them, this is good old fashioned detective work. Nicely done chapter. You nailed it!!!

A writer's job is to think of new plots and create characters who stay with you long after the final page has been read. If that mission is accomplished than we have done what we set out to do, which is to entertain and hopefully educate.

Hi Anne,
Thanks for the FDK!
Yes, L&C was always billed as a rom/com so there are these little bits thrown in.
Hang onto your hat though. For the next few chapters the rom and the com are going to be taking the back seat for the adventure.

Hi Morgana, Thanks for the FDK! Perry grabbed his satchel and pulled out some papers.

Henderson would not put up with them if they appeared to be amateurs. He is working with them because he can see their professionalism. Hang onto your hat. The pace is going to pick up some.
