I’m glad they took the precaution of telling Perry that Lois needed a cover. It NEVER pays to underestimate Lex. And having Clark deliver the message in person as Superman was a great move.

I have to admit to being caught off guard when Perry said he looked familiar. I thought the idea of admitting to being Charlie was both inspired and dangerous. I agree that this was the best solution (and unexpectedly clever for Clark ) but it still carries an element of risk.

And that manila envelope… Hmmm???

Please don’t make us wait too long for the next part.

Good part! I second Bobbart's comments... Using Charlie as Superman's identity is dangerous and clever. Good reasoning though. It's true that Perry would have mused on it for a while... but then, what's to keep him from jumping from Charlie to Clark? And isn't it sort of a part of the LnC mythos that maybe Perry knows the truth anyway?

It seems Daus may be a good guy, but he certainly is going to get tempted by Lex... where will it all lead?

And thanks for giving us more cozy Smallville scenes! Makes me yearn for the holidays some months away yet!

You know, it never pays to read while tired. I actually managed to overlook one teeny-tiny bit:
And figured they where in Perry's office while talking and kept wondering what trick they where playing where they were telling Lex everything Then I stopped and rechecked if you *really* set this in Perry's office

"Good... And now, look like you just caught Lex blowing up the children's ward of Met Gen. ... Great, one more where you get the key to Lois's chastity belt."

I don't know, who, but someone suggested in last part's FDK that Tony could be working for Lex. I don't believe that, but for a moment there you had me wondering.

So, 6?

I am going to read this...really. I am just needing to find the time...

Just to update everyone, I haven't quit posting but I've been sick for the last week. At first I thought it was just a cold but it has gone on to add aching joints, muscles full of shooting pains and a cough that feels like someone is trying to rip my lungs out every time I cough. Needless to say, I haven't felt much like writing. Once I'm over it, the posts will resume.

Nan

Hope you get well, soon, Nan!

Michael

Thanks for updating us, Nan. I hope you feel better soon. In the meantime, pamper yourself with some simple soups and lots of naps!

Ditto. I hope you feel better.

Bob

Still trying to find time to write. I'm mostly over the bug but Chuck and Steve both came down with it yesterday.

sorry to hear about the sickies, but know that i am reading the story now.
