"I want to know who is responsible for this!"

Lois Lane had been closeted with two men in suits for the past  two hours, and now that they had left, she was in a rage.

"What's going on, sweetheart?" Perry was the only one who would  have spoken to Lois at a moment like this, other than maybe  Clark. Clark, however, was notably absent.

"I've just been listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as  the world's most often kidnapped person!"

Lois was so angry that her face was red. "I'll be a  laughingstock. If I ever get a hold of the person who called  them, I'll..."

"Well...honey...it's not like you haven't been tied up a time  or two..."

Clark winced from his seat in Ye Olde Irish Pub, a half a mile  away. The firestorm that had just ignited in Lois Lane would  likely take a while to burn itself out. It might be better to  take a long lunch.

"Geoffrey." He smiled up at his friend from England. "That  didn't take long." His friend set two mugs of Guinness on the  table before sitting down. "Thanks. Let's take our time about  ordering."

"Yer partner gonna be angry, eh."

Clark shrugged helplessly. "How was I to know you worked for  the Guinness Book of World Records when we spoke last month? It  was the first time we had spoken to each other in five years!"

"You didn't think I'd take you serious either when you said  there ought to be a kidnapping catagory." Pete smirked. "Your  partner wasn't the only one in the running, you know. There was  this pretty FBI agent in Washington DC that trailed her by only  5 attempts."

Clark stared at the table morosely. Maybe it would be best to  take the afternoon off.
