"However, five weeks ago, he dropped off the map. Left the place he was staying in the middle of the night, stopped going to work, hasn't contacted his parole officer."
I can’t imagine disappearing one week into your parole is within the bounds of said parole. He might actually have violated the terms there. Someone should possibly be looking for him.
You're the one who's always saying that a journalist's weapon of choice must always be his words.
Yes, but in a world filled with magic, can’t words kill, too?
"As a matter of fact, yes… the D.A.'s team left our location about the time someone called and tried to tell me my team's services were no longer needed. But the order wasn't through normal channels and was a fake. May I ask what's going on?"
This certainly sounds fishy…
Logan held out her hand and Loq-El handed her the phone. "This is A.D.A Logan, may I speak with Mister Lonnigan? …Lonnigan, you have about five seconds to explain to me why you are again arresting someone for an incident the MPD hasn't even started investigating and has not yet established was a crime."
Maybe they should consider an internal investigation?
"This isn't for publication until we give the go ahead, but A.D.A Logan was sent a gun that fired by itself. It's pure luck she's alive."
"Have we got anything?" Lane asked.
"Well, President Garner's in town for his last minute pre-election round of stump speeches and mini-mall openings," Alexa said. "Not that he really needs to come to Metropolis. The Planet's already endorsed him. And his approval ratings are... I mean he's a nice guy and all but he was replaced with a clone with the IQ of a zucchini and nobody noticed. So I'm not getting why he's so ahead in the polls."
Umm…wasn’t that dialogue just a part or two ago? Is Tempus already in town?
But on closer inspection it wasn't Kal-El at all. This man seemed older, more world-weary and there was something cold in his eyes as he regarded her. He was dressed in black and the clothes had a military feel to them. His one piece of jewelry appeared to be a silver toque around his neck.
What’s going on?
Supergirl looked past the walls of the stairwell enclosure. Tempus was lying on the roof and his head was at an unnatural angle.
You don’t like Tempus, do you?
"She's Kryptonian…" Andrus began.
Supergirl reached out with her mind to the man in black. [Who are you?]
He turned almost too fast for her Kryptonian senses to register. [NO!]
There was a searing pain in her mind then everything went black.
Oh boy.
And then… I think if Ching hadn't shown me how to protect myself, he would have killed me."
Oh…boy.
In Babylon 5 there was an episode where it was revealed that the Vorlons had captured/acquired a truly evil human in the 1800's and brought him out for special (especially reprehensible) assignments.
Sebastian sure was a fun guy to hang out with. So long as you didn't work in the 'entertainment' industry of that time, that is.
Michael
Then again, he was a lot less human than even the NKers...
