His gaze drifted toward the wall on the far side of the room where the flames had painted the words “The Toasters.” He should have been overjoyed, because those eleven letters exonerated MagiKal. But the truth was that Clark just felt numb.

She grinned at him. “Secure an interview with MagiKal?”
His breath hitched in his chest and he wasn’t sure if he felt capable of drawing another one. Had the other shoe already dropped? The world seemed to be spinning about him, but he could hardly go and ask her if she knew his secret.
But the wonderful, slightly impish smile on her lips was designed to make him lose his mind, regardless of whether she knew.

Hehe, I knew you were going to say that. I feel kind of guilty for leaving you with such a cliffhanger till next Friday. But just a little...

Thanks for another exciting chapter! The fire was intense. I wonder if Lois knows that Clark is MagiKal? Hopefully we’ll find out in 6 days. I can’t wait for more! I love this story!

Hi Barbara!
Playing pretend-drunk is a great distraction.
Kentucky Fried Chicken?
CLARK: Haven’t had them since I left home.
Because of a sort of good looking blind man?
TONI: It’s nothing personal but we do get way more complaints from our girls when blind customers are checking them out.
Preston’s gonna have a field day with his editorial on that one. “Mob Dive discriminates against blind customers.”
HOUDINI: Nice female. Smells good.
Aaahhh, the magical distraction!
Which brings us back to jokes about roasted chicken.
How is he going to explain that?
CHARLIE: I didn’t see no flame. I just wanted to carry the dame.
See? See?
Ooooh, sounds like Lois really is another kind of magical distraction 
LOIS: Did he just call me an Imp?
Looking forward to learning how you’re gonna dig Clark out of that one!

Clark contemplated the benefits of ordering a fourth drink. He desperately needed something to distract himself from the enticing sight of Lois.
Quote
While they couldn't quite hide her rare beauty, this chicken costume was designed to let his thoughts drift toward forbidden places.
CLARK: Haven’t had them since I left home.
Quote
looking a few inches past Toni Taylor, who was standing at the bar seeming slightly flustered all of a sudden.
Quote
"I'm sorry, ma’am," Clark said. His voice was cold but polite. "I didn't realize you did not accommodate handicapped customers."
Quote
In the reflection of his glasses, Clark saw her throw up her hands, quietly urging the bartender to help her out and ensure that her guest wouldn't just leave.
Quote
Then Houdini jumped to his aid. He dropped out of his role and pulled him back toward Toni Taylor.
Quote
gazes met, it seemed like the world stood still. The air seemed to sizzle with a kind of magic that had nothing to do with his powers.
Quote
The dancers rushed to the back, leaving the stage as quickly as their feet would let them. None of them was in the immediate line of fire.
Quote
With an uneasy prickling in the back of his neck, Clark rushed back inside to get Toni. He jumped through the fire, picked her up, and carried her to safety
CHARLIE: I didn’t see no flame. I just wanted to carry the dame.
Quote
She stared at him, open mouthed and with a frown on her forehead that left little doubt that at least his cover as a blind guy was blown.
Quote

LOIS: Did he just call me an Imp?
