“All of them? Even the ones outside the immediate vicinity?” the Chairman questioned, skeptical.

“Well, it’s a relief we managed to recover some bodies, at least. Keep up the good work.”
“Yes, sir.”
“And as you probably know already...”
“Yes, sir. I’ll take it to the grave,” the minister replied with a trembling gaze, his voice heavy with tension. The Chairman nodded in satisfaction.
