Missing Lois - TOC A taste of Chapter 7, Part 11...
Lucy turned around to grab a document off the printer. Standing next to her desk was a small man in a bowler hat. As she reached around him to the printer, he said in an English accent, “Excuse me, Miss. I am looking for Clark Kent.”
Her mind was on the sheet in her hand, mentally checking it for mistakes. “He’s not in. Can I help you with something?” She lifted her eyes to his.
The little man gazed at her with wide eyes. “Lois? Lois Lane?”
She frowned. “No. Lucy El.” She focused her attention on him. Who was he?
“Lois. Don’t you recognize me?”
“Lucy. And have we met?”
“Oh, dear God. You’ve lost your memory. I’ve left you here too long.” He shook his head.
Okey-dokey. He just traveled into the strange zone. “Excuse me?”
“Lois, look at me, closely. Think back. We met on a sunny afternoon several years ago. Clark, you, and I traveled…”
She couldn’t believe this guy. “Look, Mister, I’ve never met you. I certainly haven’t traveled anywhere with you and Lois Lane is dead.”
The man stumbled backward. “Dead? Oh, dear, no. I was sure bringing her here would save her from the curse…”
