It took Lois awhile to process where she was at. Then she remembered, Glen's room. She looked around and both Clark and Glen were gone. She found a note on the pillow beside her. 'Don't worry. The guards are posted. Glen had to go down to the station for some questioning. I'm looking over the grounds for clues. You looked so peaceful; I didn't want to wake you. He left one of the guards in the hallway, and I have an ear out for you. Love you.'
Lois smiled at the message, but she was also annoyed that she'd been left behind. It was 10 in the morning. He'd probably wanted her to have the extra sleep after yesterday's ordeal. Her cell phone rang. Nobody should have been calling them on their honeymoon unless it was an emergency.
"Hello?" Lois answered.
"I didn't wake you, did I?" Chloe asked.
"No, I'm awake. I had a very restful night. Is something wrong?"
"No, not really, but you know Glen Price? I've been doing some research for you while you're away, and he's in Niagara Falls. In fact—"
"He's staying in our hotel," Lois finished.
"You ran into him?"
"Yep."
"Were you able to cover?"
"Yes."
"Good," she said, sounding relieved. Then her voice took a teasing tone, "How was your wedding night?"
"Let's just say I had more action when Clark and I met."
"That's not necessarily a bad thing, right? I mean you did meet him naked."
"That's what I meant by more."
"He chickened out, didn't he?" Chloe said exasperated.
"No, not that it's any of your business but no. He never got a chance to chicken out and he's over his fear anyway. We kept getting interrupted."
"What do you mean?"
"Glen intercepted us when we were going into our room and made us have dinner with him. Then somebody took a shot at us, and of course, we had to report it. Then somebody tried to poison Glen, so we all slept in the same room, which put a halt to any marital activities."
"Oh, that stinks," Chloe said in sympathy.
"Tell me about it."
"What about tonight?"
"I don't know. I guess it depends if we can catch the person behind all this or if we can ditch Glen."
"Oh, I am so sorry. Well, good luck."
"We'll need it. Thanks anyway for trying to warn us."
"Keep me posted and be careful."
"I will, bye."
"Bye."
Lois shook her head and then got up to get ready. Clark didn't have to be Superman for 2 entire weeks and then something like this happens. They were plagued by trouble when they weren't even looking for it. When she had finished getting ready, Clark arrived.
He smiled. "You look pretty this morning."
She smiled back. "Thanks, you look pretty too."
They kissed each other good morning.
"Too bad there's a guard posted outside the room," Lois complained.
"Yeah, and Glen could be back any minute. You know he was much better this morning. He still took a guard with him, but I think he might be willing to sleep in his room alone tonight."
"One can only hope. Did you find anything outside?"
"No. I also asked the hotel if they'd checked any surveillance cameras. They had nothing. I think we've done all we can do for now. Let's go out and get our mind off things." He smiled. "Maybe we can find another hotel to check into."
They decided to take a quick look at Niagara Falls before going hotel hunting. You could walk to it from the hotel. They held hands all the way.
"It's amazing, isn't it?" she breathed. "All that water and that rainbow. I bet it's even prettier at night. We have to catch the light show. I mean just look at it. Have you ever seen anything more beautiful?"
"Yes," he answered, staring pointedly at her.
She smiled and kissed his cheek for the compliment. Then she turned back to the falls. "Wouldn't it be fun to go over the falls in a barrel?"
"No, because you'd probably die and it's illegal now."
"Yeah, but it'd be thrilling and you'd be famous."
"If you survived it."
"If you survived it," she echoed and then her stomach growled. "I didn't have breakfast."
He laughed. "I thought you did, you didn't say anything. You want me to get you a hotdog?"
"That'd be great and then we can go look for a hotel."
He went to get it, and she waited for him, knowing he'd be able to get it faster without her. She went back to looking at the view. She couldn't get over how much water must be pouring over the falls even though she's seen many amazing things in her life, the biggest being her husband performing his powers. She was so lost in thought; she didn't notice that someone came up behind her. She was snapped back to reality when she felt 2 hands push her over the railing, and she went plunging into the ice cold water. She screamed. The current was too strong to swim against. She was about to go over the falls.
