"Don't let her go off by herself. Insist she tells you what she's doing and where she is."
Perry shot him an incredulous look. "This is Lois we're talking about, right?" he said. "Lois L…" His speech stalled, his amazement faded, and he shuffled uncomfortably in his seat. "Is this about Clark?"
"She's working alone," Superman said tonelessly. "That makes her more vulnerable."
"So this *is* about Clark?"
<...>
"You think this person ... the one who made threats against Lois ... could be out of control? Could do something out of character?"
"Yes," Superman said, glad Perry had understood.
Something about this makes me think Perry *doesn't* understand. Or maybe I misunderstood. Does Perry think Superman is telling him that *Clark* is a threat to Lois?
Why else would he think someone who threatened Lois was acting "out of character"?
I'm glad to see Lois working so hard to save Clark.
Sad to see Clark believes she has deserted him.
Off to read Chapter 8...
ETA: Oops, I see I forgot to put fdk for part 6. I enjoyed Wolfe's intervew of Clark (Superman). Well, maybe "enjoyed" isn't the right word. It was agonizing to read, but very well written. I liked it.
