Oh Clark, I wish you were here. Lois said to herself as she walked out the door to head to the Daily Planet. As she walked toward work, she began to wonder. How are you? How is the battle going, have you been hurt? All that Lois could think about was Clark, superman/Superman, Clark. It had been six months since Clark as Superman had left for Krypton, his home planet. Upon leaving Clark vowed to Lois to one day return.
Upon entering the Daily Planet Lois spotted Jimmy. Hey Jimmy, any new news at the Daily Planet today? Hey Lois! No, it is the same as it has always been. Crime and vandalism are up, as always, since Superman left. Lois! Jimmy! In my office now! Perry Hollered from across the news room. Yes chief, they said together.
What's up chief? Lois and Jimmy asked as they entered Perry's office. Lois, I want you and Jimmy to go down to the main courthouse downtown. There is some crazy down there claiming his innocence, and yet has a building full of hostages. On it chief, Lois said, as both she and Jimmy exited Perry's office. Oh and Jimmy. Yeah chief! I want pictures good enough for front page news. Yes sir chief, you got it! Jimmy gave a salute to Perry as he exited the door to run after Lois.
At Lois's suggestion, they took her car, that she left parked in the parking garage downstairs the night before. Jimmy, can you believe this traffic! I know, just you wait until we get downtown. The gridlock is terrible. So . . . Jimmy, what are your plans for this weekend?
Oh well . . . I am supposed to go to the park with Brandon and Rose to spend time with them. It is part of what I do on my days off, as part of the Big Brothers of America Association.
Oh well, that's nice. How old are the kids? Seven and nine, Jimmy said. Well have a good time with them and don't spoil them too much. Thanks Lois, that really means a lot.
How about you Lois, what are you going to do this weekend? I don't know Jimmy . . . I will probably sit at home with a pint of rocky road ice cream and a good book. Fifteen minutes later Lois and Jimmy drove up to the main courthouse downtown. OK Jimmy, I'll do the interviews. You take pictures. Well do Lois! Jimmy salutes and runs off to take pictures.
After spending most of the afternoon and early evening downtown. The swat team and the FBI were finally able to convince the distraught hostage taker to release the hostages. Upon returning to the Daily Planet Jimmy helped Lois with the courthouse hostage story. Then both Jimmy and Lois called it a night.
Upon entering her apartment, Lois dropped her purse on the dining room table then headed for the couch, to get off of her tired and aching feet. She did not think to turn on the lights in her apartment. Clark, how I miss you. The city could have really used your help today. There was a hostage situation at the main courthouse downtown. A man believed he was wrongly arrested for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. During his arraignment he found a weapon of some kind and took the courthouse hostage. We really could have used your help today. Lois' eyes shown with tears. Lois thinking she is alone gets up to investigate a noise she hears coming from the bedroom. Standing in the bedroom doorway, she stops . . . thinking she is hallucinating, and feeling eyes on him. Clark slowly turns.
He softly whispers, Lois . . .
Shock on her face, Lois slowly answers, Clark . . .
