It was unfortunate &#8211; not that he was dead &#8211; but that his death interfered with Lois &#038; Clark&#8217;s date. They&#8217;d been trying for weeks to get together &#8211; unsuccessfully. In fact, so unsuccessfully that they felt almost like strangers.<\/p>\n<p>They learned pretty quickly that the dead man had been a TV producer of a fantasy\/romance\/comedy\/adventure show, which had recently seen a dramatic increase in the ratings. A core group of fans, however, was not happy with his latest script choices, no matter how popular the show had become.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, Lois, we&#8217;ve spent the whole morning talking to fans and viewing videos and I have to admit that they have a point.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No kidding &#8211; what he was doing to the characters&#8217; relationship was criminal. Keeping them apart like that. Just when they were about to get married, too.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Lois &#038; Clark exchanged an ironic smile.<\/p>\n<p>Clark said, &#8220;That certainly sounds familiar. Now he&#8217;s keeping *us* apart.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yeah,&#8221; she said sadly. &#8220;What do you say we find some clues, catch the bad guys, blah, blah, blah, then we can get out of here and&#8230; talk.&#8221; She smiled suggestively.<\/p>\n<p>Clark&#8217;s heart thumped a little harder &#8211; making it difficult to hear the person coming up behind them. It was Bobby Bigmouth with the case-breaking clue.<\/p>\n<p>Two Danishes and a cheesecake later, they were in possession of all the important facts.<\/p>\n<p>Bobby Bigmouth wove off in a food-drunken stupor and Lois turned to Clark. There was a gleam in her eye that he had come to appreciate, but hadn&#8217;t had a chance to take advantage of lately.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You know, Clark, I was just thinking &#8211; this misguided fan is probably not a threat to society as a whole, so there&#8217;s really no rush to get this information to the police.&#8221; She leaned forward seductively, grabbing his lapel and offering him a tempting view of her&#8230; assets. &#8220;Is there?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Clark swallowed hard and tried to think of a reason, but failed. After all, the victim had *only* been a television producer&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The End<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n<p>Authors&#8217; Disclaimer: No TV producers were harmed in the writing of this story.
