This story keeps getting better and better!
Clark opened the box. Inside he found a sheet of labels, dropper pipettes, micropipettes, nitrite gloves, sterile wipes, and an insulated box containing nine hermetically sealed test tubes. Also included was a handwritten note by Dr. Zeigler, the senior microbiologist on staff, whom Clark had talked to that morning. Dr. Zeigler had explained how to extract the samples, label, and store them. He noted that the samples would only last two hours without refrigeration, if stored in the box, making time a factor.
This is not our heroes usual breaking and entering equipment. This looks like a job for Dr. Megan Hunt or at the very least the guys from CDC!
“Great,” Lois grumbled, not wanting to hear about anything that would delay breaking the story. She knew Perry needed something big to put on the front page to lure readers back, and this story seemed to be on that track, but it wasn’t going to happen today. “Oh, I almost forgot, Perry wants to know what we’ve been working on. I guess now is as good a time as any to fill him in. He’s not going to be happy that we’ve just started on this and are far from going to print.”
I would have thought that getting a decent story on the front page, albeit a little late would make Perry quite happy. Aren't there other reporters on the DP's staff?
“I can’t believe I actually agreed to go to that, that, lame excuse for a party. What a waste of two hours,” Lois said as she stormed through Clark’s front door, hastily removing her heels before descending his steps. “And did you have to dance with her so much and leave me just standing at the bar by myself?”
Temper, temper Lois, remember Linda is not the bad guy... at least not right now. I like the way this episode works seamless with your story.
I look forward to the next installment!
