Excellent story, Tank.
I didn't read it at first after I saw the kind of suspense it entailed, and then I missed the last part until this morning when I saw the feedback folder.
I figured you were going to throw a Lois-haircut into it somewhere <g> and yay for Henderson and the bullet proof vest. I figured you weren't going to kill Lois, but I wasn't sure how you were going to save her unless Clark arrived in time.
I'm with Natascha. Forget this retirement stuff.
