Sorry for the shorter chapter....

I'm so glad Clark is free and that he got the ring back! Good thing Nor is just the sort of vindictive person that he would carry such a trinket around so long as it would hurt Clark.

And I knew he wouldn't kill himself! I love how he was (despite your misleading comments in the fdk-fdk) able to cultivate the good in Jen Mai. That's certainly a better turnout for him than he got in the show.

So, I'm curious how this is going to play out in two more parts because I'm hoping we'll get at least one full part of him and Lois.

Great job!

So, hes gonna pretend to have died from the gunshot wounds and be sent back to Earth, having conveniently left orders for Ching to take over....

Cant wait to see what really happens! UD soon!

LOL! Not quite, but you'll find out in the next chapter!

Wish granted. Just wait for chapter 9.

I actually did consider having him slash his wrist seconds before Ching got there (and then have Ching save him) but I just didn't like how the scene was panning out in my head. So I went with this, which I think fits Clark's character a lot better.

And I wasn't being misleading. I was merely....pointing out all of the possiblities! :p

But Clark did kill someone.

Yeeeeep! (I promise that I address this!)
