So what's happening at CostMart? Hhhmmm. Digging up their own parking lot? Killing off their employees and blaming it on vampires? Or is it someone else besides Intergang?
Why haven't L&C beaten MPD to the punch in interviewing the CostMart manager? Doesn't say much for MPD. Oh, because CostMart wasn't the employees 'real' boss, but doesn't the lag-time almost shout "undercover police". Not good MPD!
"Together," Clark specified quickly. "You won't come back here by yourself."
She cast him an exasperated glance. "Of course not. As long as you'll come with me."
"Oh, I will. Definitely."
She eyed him suspiciously. "Why aren't you arguing? You always argue."
I'm glad Clark agreed to go with her. Let's hope Superman isn't needed anywhere that night and Clark has to 'return a video' or something. THAT could be dangerous to Lois's health.
So, I'm wondering, did the homeless NASA guy wander by the CostMart at night, borrow a shopping cart, or something? I don't know why they are brushing him off as just a coincidence or an oddity. That's the great thing about the homeless, they can be anywhere (on the streets), witness anything, at any time of day or night. Unless this CostMart is far from that guy's usual hangouts.
I'm curious what they are doing in that hole. It's peeked Clark's interest, but he didn't say why. So, it's peeked mine as well.
One of Henderson's eyebrows slid up. "Now, why would you be interested in that?" he asked slowly.
I agree with Henderson. Why would Superman need to know? Is Clark using his Superman persona to get information for Clark? That would be bad, usually he goes the other way around. Does Henderson know that CK=S? In that case, I can see his hesitancy in answering. And if I were Henderson, I don't know if I would accept Superman's responce:
"I have my reasons," Clark said. "I need to know."
at face value. It doesn't sound like him. He's usually more forthcoming to the police. Why is he holding back from Henderson? Isn't it Batman who is the great detective and investigates? Not Superman? Clark, yes, but Superman? It seems a little out of character for him to do this, doesn't it? If I were Henderson, I'd be thinking "What's he up to?" Actually, I don't have to be Henderson, because I AM thinking that.

ok so reading here, I'm aggravated because I've run out of segments. But I've enjoyed what I read so I'll be eagerly looking for the next part.
Unfortunately, Lois is about to ruin that poor woman’s day. Even seeing Clark couldn’t make up for being brusquely informed that two of your co-workers have died. Have a little compassion, Lois!
