Hi,
Great part.
“Yep, the virus in the Planet’s computer will start tonight. It will wipe out their entire server. Even with their off-site tape backup storage, it will be days before they can publish again. In the meantime, Olson’s investment in the Planet will be deemed worthless and he will be forced to sell to Edge Enterprises, by way of LNN,” Thorul advised. “I’ve got the paperwork all ready for his signature. Welcome back Lois Lane, you have a new boss – again!”
“Your plan to make her life a living Hell *is* almost better than killing her, I have to admit,” Edge said to Thorul. “I guess evil thoughts *are* hereditary.”
Lets hope Tim left a antivirus and evidence.
“I know. Their slick new VP in charge of acquisitions, a Lenny Thorul, gave a presentation to my board of directors on Monday. LNN is willing to pay *double* the stock price to acquire the Planet. Perry and my father were going to try to help me fight this. It looks like it might be too late, now.”
Lois turned white when she heard the name ‘Lenny Thorul’. Clark felt her anxiety immediately and unwittingly picked up parts of her thoughts. It seemed as if Lois had deliberately closed her mind to him, but before she did, he definitely “heard” the name “Luthor”.
{Lois, don’t shut me out here. This is the “Lenny” from the phone call, isn’t it?}
{Yes. Later, Clark. James needs us now.}
{You’re right.}
Bye, bye honeymoon!
They have a lot of work to do.
