I so did not see the auction thing coming; I loved that. You kept throwing surprises at me, all the way up to the end. I *loved* that. (The countdown. The kill order the NSA gave the SEALs *shiver*. The whole rescue scene *more shivers*.) I loved not knowing who (except for TEAM, oh you give good Team) to trust and how far to trust them. As always, so many details adding so much. Danny not being able to resist reading those bits of Steve's military record; of course he wouldn't. Adam was outstanding, and so was Khalid, and that last scene with Lt. Davidson and Khalid felt so good; really loved Danny's punch there. Terrific, suspenseful, compelling -- gotta-remember-to-breathe-at-least-sometimes compelling -- story. Brava!
