"Remember the 18 border guards forcibly dosed with drugs? They're now trapped in a daily struggle, living in agony. In Norvania, we've got 20 million addicts, and that number keeps skyrocketing by the day! "Despite the sacrifices of our anti-drug forces, we can't seem to stop the relentless flow of drugs into our country."

Donald sank into his seat heavily, his hand pressed to his forehead. His voice was thick with grief and frustration as he said, "What's the use in wiping out just one drug den with a missile?

"It's barely scratching the surface with Muzat. The heart of the

problem remains completely untouched."

Nathan closed his eyes in sorrow and took a deep breath.

Donald's tone softened a fraction. "I know you're not one to act

down with honor than endure the savage torture he's suffered
