Thanks for the heads-up on the chapter number, John. It's fixed.
Morgana, just wait until you read how dark. I think what happens next will surprise you. I'd like to think Cat could get some peace of mind. Please don't fuss at Bill too much. He's constrained by law and procedure and the need to keep from losing Carlin to a mistake. And Rebecca may want some unreal things, but she's basically a realist.
Yes, I named them Hugh and Sandra Grant. I'm not such a big Hugh Grant fan as I am a fan of the movies he's been in, but the man can handle snappy dialogue with the best of them.
John, since this is, after all, a Lois and Clark site, rest assured that getting these two together is my goal. They're just being so fiddle-winking stubborn about it!
Next chapter up very soon.
