In the second paragraph, I would change the pronoun he to Clarke. I had to read it twice to know if it was Clarke or the terrorist firing from the van who had the bullet wounds.

Good thinking knocking Rodgers out but not killing him so he can come back.

Sad to see Rashida go, but necessary. Interesting juxtaposition of Rashida/Clarke and which one is the Muslim dying as a martyr.

Well done.

I agree with GNWG about the martyrdom angle.

corrected to remove confusion about who got shot

i had no idea Clarke was muslim, i must have forgotten..
but the gas is not good for Talman… better whip out those antidotes.
