I was wondering how you were going to get Lois and Clark together, Shayne, but this is hilarious. Clark decides to hide in Lois's trunk because it's empty, and she's driving like a maniac to stop Lucy's exhumation. If this were an actual retelling of a true tale, we'd say it was the kind of thing you couldn't make up.
I just thought of something. If this world's Lucy Lane has been dead for five years (maybe due to a terrorist act), and apparently the Lois from Clark's world is dead (because he's not Superman), Lois and Lucy are in for a very interesting encounter. Can't wait to read that one.
Will Clark help Lois with her investigation? Will she recognize him when she opens her trunk (for whatever legitimate reason, because otherwise Clark will disappear again)? And which world will be the beneficiary of a combined Clark/Lois team?
You know, we still don't know if the plan shifting between worlds was an artificial act or some crazy kind of natural phenomenon. Was this the end product of some villain's evil plan or just a coincidence? Or did H. G. Wells somehow engineer it? It's not his usual style, but in a Shayne story, almost anything is possible, and if it comes to pass, it always makes sense.
Keep it coming! This is really tense and enjoyable.
