Review:
Casey and Dan are on the outs when Dan and Natalie go to Nigeria to cover a soccer tournament. A few days later, Dan and Natalie are at ground zero when violence erupts in Nigeria's capital.

Most Sports Night fic draws its drama from internal angst or from canon events and, don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of both. That said, I adore Cori's stories for the ways that they are different, especially the parts of the story set in Nigeria. Journalists gain some measure of protection from dangerous events, but they aren't invulnerable and what Dan and Natalie go through in Lagos is both authentic and gripping.

Equally good (though not quite as unique) is the New York storyline, where Casey comes to grips with the argument that drove him and Dan apart and the way that he, Dana, Jeremy, and Issac cope during the time when Dan and Natalie are missing. The Dana/Casey situation gets some much-needed resolution and Jeremy is so perfectly drawn that I could almost hear him talking.

All in all, a wonderfully different Sports Night story (and a very satisfying sequel).
