24 Hours Left

Jack walked up to scene in a brown jacket and wearing his all new Converse sunglasses. Protect your eyes and look good doing it.

He walked up to the “Director”. “Whats going on here?” he asked.

“Terrorist.”

“My god! Why is it ALWAYS terrorist? Can’t the writers come up with anything more creative?”

“Well, come on. You ARE the CTU . And besides everyone has a unified fear/hate of terrorists. That combined with common hate demographics, such as using Muslims terrorists since they destroyed the world trade center, creates a common hate that binds the viewers in a anger that allows them to relate to you.”

“Huh… thats pretty clever. By the way, what kinds of terrorists are we looking at now?”

“Nazi Muslim Cylon terrorist.”

“Why can’t those damned cylons just leave us alone?”

“Who knows? Any ways heres a note we found written by the NMC .”

“Nice. Well bye Director. I’m off to the ‘National Counterterrorism Center’ to examine this.”

“Good luck. Remember you have 24 hours.”

“Thats a surprise.”
