Cat Grant was very excited to have a date with Clark Kent. She had been interested in the man ever since the first day that she had met him. He was very good looking and smart as they came. But, Lois Lane had her eyes on him too. Lois could not be happy with the hero they called Superman, no she wanted Clark too.

But she was playing a head game with the young naïve Clark. She acted as though she was not interested in him, but when someone tried to show an interest she stopped them. Lois did not know what she was up against Cat was going to win Clark's heart and she would start working on it tonight.

Cat had to be careful of what she wore. She wanted to dress appropriately for the reception, but conservatively for her dat Clark Kent. She chose a dress with a suggestive neckline, but not too low. She also chose a pair of shoes with a lower heel than she was used to . She wanted to give Clark the impression that she was shorter than she was.

Clark Kent was in his apartment choosing out his shirt and tie. He only had once formal suit, so he didn't have to chose that very carefully. He laughed to himself and then he saw the envelope that he had placed on the table next to him. He was going to have to figure out what to do with the picture, but tonight he was going to be busy on a story.

As Clark approached Cat's apartment he pulled up in front and checked himself in the mirror. He was dressed all right and he approved of the image in the mirror. He walked up to her apartment and knocked. Now, he had been there once before and did not want to linger for very long that night.

As Cat opened the door he was impressed with what he saw. She was a very beautiful woman and had dressed very conservatively for the party. He wasn't sure if she was trying to impress him or the other guests that were going to be there. Either way he was impressed. As he took her arm and they went down to his car he smiled and opened the door fo her.

Cat was happy with the way that Clark was treating her. He was a fine looking man when he was at work. But tonight all dressed up he was a very handsome man. You could see his muscles and ummm she could almost taste him.

As Cat took Clark through the crowd, she introduced him to everyone. He had met the mayor before, but many of the people were strangers to him. He looked around the room using his x ray vision to see what might be hidden. The room looked clean and he decided to start listening to the people. He was listening in when Cat took his arm and showed him Jim Miner the head of the Department of Public Works.

Lois and he had been trying for weeks to speak to Mr. Miner with no luck. Whenever they saw him he was on his way to a meeting and when they called him he was not in the office. It had been very irritating to them both and Clark was sure that the man was hiding something.

As they walked over to Jim Miner, he spotted them. He tried to steal away but Clark was too fast for him and caught right up to him and Cat introduced him. She was good too. She stood in such a way that Jim Miner would have had to ask her to move to get around her. Clark smiled to himself, she was a lot like Lois indeed.

Clark went right into his investigative mode and asked him "We are looking into some shortages that have been found to be missing in your department. Do you have anything to say about that?" he asked.

"I am not at liberty to talk about an investigation that is ongoing, but we are investigating on our end." he told him.

"It has been reported that this has been going on for a long period of time. What is your answer to that?" Clark asked him.

"We will be giving a press conference when there is something that can be told. Right now as I said I cannot say anything, but if you find out something while you are investigating your information will be welcome. Excuse me." and with that he was off to talk to some other people.

Clark was a gentleman and danced and mingled with Cat. He heard the talk of him and how he was investigating. He was the topic of many of the conversations, but he heard nothing said about Jim Minor.

As Cat and Clark left the party together, Clark watched as he saw a young man with a camera. He seemed to be taking quite a few pictures of him and Cat. Clark studied the man and started to walk toward him. At first the man looked as though he was thinking of turning and walking away. But, then he decided to stand his ground.

The photographer was a young man and he smiled at the two of them as they approached him. "Well hello Miss Grant and Mr. Kent. How can I help you" he asked.

"I just thought that you were taking a lot of pictures and that I would like to see them. The young man seemed surprised, but let Clark look into the view finder. There were indeed many photos that had been taken. The young man introduced himself as Chris Redding and he was a free lance photographer. "I am trying to get some pictures that might get me some notoriety and that is why I am here." he told them.

Clark looked through all of his pictures and handed him back the camera. He asked him "Are there a lot of free lance photographers in the city?"

"Oh yes they are all over the place. That is how we make a living. Some of us that is." he told him.

Clark handed him his card and told him that if he had any of his friends who were bragging about some photos that they had taken that would bring them a lot of money to please call him. Chris took the card with a questioning look, and went back to taking more pictures.

As Cat and Clark said good night, she told him that she would like him to come in. But Clark still remembered what had happened the last time and politely declined. He was impressed with her, though. She could be a lady and was actually a pleasure to be with.
