Lois was completely lost in the kiss. It reminded her of another kiss, but she couldn't put her finger on it, mainly because her fingers were distracted running themselves through Clark's hair. Clark had forgotten why he had kissed her in the first place. He couldn't figure out why her kisses were so mind-numbing. They were like a drug, figuratively speaking, except of course when they'd had red kryptonite on them.

The door opening snapped them back to reality and they pulled away.

The middle aged man standing there was not surprised, embarrassed, or amused at the sight of them. "Mr. Luthor would like to see you." Out of all the words that could have come out of his mouth, that was not what Clark and Lois were expecting him to say. "Follow me and stay against the wall."

They passed the casino full of crazed gamblers. This time Lois wasn't one of them. They went up to a suite combination office. Lex's chair was facing toward the window, but he slowly swiveled around to face them.

"You've been watching too many evil businessman movies. Real ones don't do the cliché chair move," Lois said.

He smiled. "I'll make a note of that. Leave, Hanson. I'd like to talk to Mr. and Mrs. Kent alone please."

As soon as he was gone, Lex said, "Well, well, well, here we have the 2 people voted least likely to get married. I'm flattered you chose my hotel to spend your honeymoon."

"Cut the crap, Lex," Lois said. "What do you want?"

"What? I can't congratulate you, but as long as we're crap-cutting, it's obvious you two aren't really married, but I've heard you two have been putting on a splendid show. Maybe one day you'll really get married to each other."

"You're not here to talk about our wedding plans," Lois said. "You know I guess it shouldn't surprise me. Where there's corruption, there's a Luthor."

"Charming saying," Lex said. "I think I'll have it framed. The problem is there is no corruption going on in this establishment."

"Oh, no?" Lois asked threateningly. "People aren't overcome by gambling?"

"It's called the magic of Las Vegas. I think you've worn out your welcome. You'll get a refund for the days you won't be here of course. "Now should I give the money to you or the Daily Planet?"

"We're not going to leave until we've uncovered your dirty scam. Is it some kind of chemical? A meteor r—"

"Lois, this is Lex's hotel. If he says we have to leave, then we have to leave or security will escort us out," Clark said, speaking for the first time.

"He's a smart man, Lois. You better listen."

Clark gently nudged her out into the hall.

" Clark, are we just going to give up?"

"We're not giving up," he whispered in hushed tones, "but we do have to leave. I'll tell you more when we get to our room. There are cameras out in the halls."

"Can you believe it? Lex Luthor owns a hotel all the way out in Las Vegas. Is there anywhere his filthy hands don't reach? I bet he's making tons off of this and it all seems legit because it comes from the gamblers. I wonder if I gambled in the casino?" She felt in her pockets. "My change is gone. That scumbag has my dollar! Lex Luthor's a freaking billionaire and he took my dollar!"

Clark's mouth twitched, as he tried to hold back a smile. "I'll give you a dollar if you want it."

"It's the principle of the thing. Did you know he owned this place?"

"I took a look at the owner before we came here. It was listed as Alex L. I guess I should have figured it out, but he always goes by Lex and there are a lot of Alex L.'s in the world."

They finally reached their room. Once he shut the door, he brought her close to him and whispered in her ear. "I don't want anyone to hear this," he said, explaining their closeness. "Rob and Katie are our solution."

Lois had to really concentrate to hear what he was saying. She couldn't get the kiss out of her mind and he was so close. His breath tickling her ear didn't help and she could still feel his lips on hers. She had to pull away. "How?"

"We'll talk about it more when we get outside. Right now we have to pack."

It didn't take them long to pack. Lois expressed regret over not getting to try out the Jacuzzi. Clark answered by saying, "I'm sorry you didn't get to try it out too." Then he blushed realizing what that sounded like and then blushed more when he realized it wasn't untrue. Lois looked at him surprised. Then she gave him a small smile. They returned their room key when they got downstairs and left the hotel, but they didn't walk too far away.

"Okay, so what about Rob and Katie?" Lois asked.

"They can help us. I'm sure if we tell them the situation. They'd be more than willing to help."

"But how?"

"We'll give them a microphone, so that we can communicate and tell them what they need to do. They can stay against the wall in the casino and break into rooms if we need to."

"Can't we do it ourselves with a disguise or something?"

"Remember how hard it was to get in? There's a reason we got married."

"But doesn't Perry White want us to do it on our own?"

"He wants us to get a story without the help of other reporters to make sure we can do the work, but a good reporter uses whoever they can to get the story."

"Have you met these people though? Rob's into musicals and Katie has the IQ of a rock. Rob's not much better I suppose, but I shouldn't be insulting rocks."

"I admit they're a little scattered."

"Clark, they're imbeciles. If they see a bright shiny object and there's more than enough of those in this city, they'll abandon their post."

"I doubt that and they're our only hope right now if we're going to nail this story."

"Our only hope? That's sad. The Adventures of Katie and Rob," Lois said. "If anything, this should be educational and make for a hit show."
