"We're not sure about the murderer yet," Lois cautioned. "The man I saw in the library might not be Marcus Kendray."

"But it could be," Clark said as he kissed her cheek. "Lois Lane - I think you have a natural talent for this."

"I was incredibly lucky to overhear what I did. The tough bit was writing it up so it was easily understandable." She smiled. "You were a great help."

"There's always an element of luck in chasing down a story. Sometimes a lead goes somewhere ... sometimes it doesn't." Clark grinned. "Do I get to share the byline?"

"Do you want to?"

"No," he said, sobering. "I know you *had* to tell the police that I was the one who overheard the men in the library, but there's nothing to be gained from emphasising my involvement in this story."

"Pity," she said. "Lane and Kent - nice byline." She grinned. "Ah, well, you can share my bed instead."

Thanks!

I'm really enjoying this story. Oooh, was I afraid the three un-trustable execs would call ahead and have the bugs removed before they were found. But I'm glad not everyone is corrupt in this world. Looking forward to the next part!

Woo! Seb was awesome here. It's really nice for Lois to have a big brother.

Did I mention that I'm loving Seb?!?!? The more I read, the more I like him. He doesn't know what Lois's is up to. And the information he has is unclear at best (not to mention more than a little worrying). And not only does he have blind faith in her; he's also tying loose ends.

And the prospect of Lois and Clark investigating together; the idea -even if it's only that so far- of them sharing a byline... it's great

. Are we witnessing the birth of the hottest team in town?

Keep 'em coming!!!

Wow, that's what you call a really big break.

I did not expect Seb to tell both Chris and Ezzie something like this. I really hope it won't backfire, but since Lois's story broke the same day, they're probably safe.

"So she's *sleeping* her way to a story?"

Well, one could argue that her sleeping with Clark led to her getting the story

"But only a short time," she said with an evocative look that sizzled his blood. "We're going to have to choose whether we want to talk over what happened last night, or whether we want to push that aside for a while and find other ways to make up."

Awww, those poor kids. Now they have to rush through their first make-up sex

Another fantastic chapter!! Soooo glad that the story held together for Lois!! Glad Lois and Clark are getting to spend some time together.

Can't wait to see what happens next!

That was such a nice chapter! Great for Lois for getting the biggest story of her footy journo career!

I really like Seb too! At first I wasn't so sure, but the more I read about him, the more I really like him.

The scene between Chris and Seb was so sweet as was Seb have "really" blind-faith in Lois and tying up those ends that could really have back-fired badly.

I am still reading and still enjoying! But I must take issue with those who characterize Seb's trust in Lois as "blind faith." It isn't blind. It's based on his knowledge and understanding of her, her history, her personality, and her character. She's asked him to trust her on the basis of their relationship.

Had this been "blind faith," Seb wouldn't know anything concrete about Lois or her character. But he trusts her because he does know her. And she's going to reward his trust in her.

And I like Seb, too. He's showing a lot of character in his actions with both Esmeralda and Chris. He wisely fled from the honey trap and opened his heart to the woman with the real attraction to him. Esmeralda wanted Seb to fill a few moments of her time. Chris wants to know if Seb can join his heart to hers. Much better choice.

Sorry for the delay in responding.

Katie Hi. Thanks for the FDK. I didn't even think of having the bugs removed before the police did the sweep.

Amy Despite her previous bad experiences with men, this Lois wasn't as skittish about entering a relationship as other incarnations of Lois. I think having Seb in her life helped with that.

Thanks.

True! Thanks, Michael.

Bellarata I needed a footy story to ease Lois into the world of an investigative reporter. Clark helps Lois - again ... this is a Down Under fic, so sometimes things work backwards! Thanks!

DW Thanks, DW. With Seb being pro-merger, his true character took a little while to emerge. I'm glad you like him now you know him better.

Terry Good point. I haven't gone into too much detail of the Lois and Seb history - but I'm glad you've picked up that this is a really close relationship, forged in the years of growing up together.

Thanks, Terry.
