[If Will suggested, right at that moment that he's anything remotely close to boring Clark would have to muffle down a laugh. The anger on his voice... well, it doesn't surprise him inasmuch as he considers it's normal to assume he was being played with when Clark suggests he had had more information about Will than what he'd let on when he'd started the conversation. He just didn't expect calm, enigmatic and dry Will to suddenly let himself show that to him.]
Which is why I've already talked to his husband about it, among others. [There's the slightest undertone of.. not anger, not really. But he doesn't take kindly to people implying he doesn't know hot to do his job. Freddie might have helped him a lot since he got here, and she actually seems nice when they aren't talking journalism. But he gets the feeling she's a big part of the reason why everyone tenses up the moment he mentions he's a journalist, or that he's seeking for information.]
He's the one that made me think that Holiday's relationships with the imPorts was the one piece of the puzzle that didn't fit. That he acted different when he was talking to us, or about us. [He'd started smoking like a chimney, Holt had said. Stress can do that to a person but that still struck Clark as... odd.]
Do I think he might have actually needed the help he's getting? Yes. Do I think the goverment might be keeping us away from Holiday for his sake? Yes. Do I think there's still something else in this situation we don't know about, something we need to figure out if we want to know what their angle is?

Also yes.
