Under normal circumstances Clark made a point of scanning the spectators for his fellow reporters so as not to duplicate work or have to explain how he got a story without his co-workers being aware of his presence. It was a testament to his physical and mental exhaustion that he failed to do so in this case. Especially since it involved a reporter that truly detested being beaten to a story in general and by Clark Kent in particular.
Now, I wonder who that could be?
Sorry I didn't comment on Part 4, but I just got around to reading it, along with Part 5. Both were very well done.
The line in Part 4 about Clark's superhearing picking up on the sound of dirt hitting his father's coffin had me

I'm enjoying this story immensely.
