The two returned to the bar and just happened to run into the mayor's wife coming out.
Clark approached to chat her up, a common and easy-to-understand bar joke making the mayor's wife burst into laughter, her legs going weak from mirth.
His face was like a charm spell in itself; the mayor's wife warmly invited him to visit her home and mentioned her husband was not at home.
Clark was overjoyed, "Elegant lady, I must confess, the moment I saw you, I was captivated by your charm..."
"Ahem! Ahem!"
Wayne coughed twice, fist to mouth. Enough with the flirting—time to get down to some serious business.
Clark curled his lip, thinking to himself that he had brought along a real killjoy. Still, he graciously accepted the mayor's wife's invitation to tour the mayor's mansion.
In the living room, Wayne pushed Clark aside and stuffed a mushroom into the mayor's wife's mouth, pressing for information on the history and events surrounding the gold mine.
