I really like this! You've got Lois nailed, particularly during her exchange with Alby. I especially liked this bit:
Lois sat across from him, pursing her lips, crossing her arms in front of her, not saying a word. It was a tactic that’d worked on stronger men than Albert Grant.

Nicely done all 'round!
