Ok, overall, a great story. And anything that causes a story to be finished is a good reason to use it.
The front end of the story seemed a little rushed to me, but then again the 100+ fever and body aches may have been fuddling my mind.
Loved the scene where Lois get's her proof, but was expecting her to have some whitty comeback, like "That was my favorite pen." or "My father gave me that pen on my last birthday...no real loss there."
