Very interesting start. I cannot wait to see what happens next. Hint, hint. - Once a week is just plain too long to wait between chapters, especially in a story such as this.
My imagination has been running wild with the operation, too. I have all sorts of ideas, each one worse than the one before. I'm guessing all of them are completely off-base, and that it won't be anything near as horrific as I am imagining.
I also wondered about the two dead agents. On the one hand, Clark has been kidnapped by a maniac, held against his will, and systematically tortured (both physically and mentally) for the past 7 years. Killing in an attempt to escape would be, in my mind, justifiable homicide. On the other hand, it doesn't sound like Clark - especially the maiming of the body and the brutality of the act. So, I'm waiting to see exactly what transpired, and how much of Trask's report is truth, how much delusion, and how much outright lie.
