Chapter 133 Exchange of Hostages

Following the drug traffickers' exchange plan, they divided the living hostages into three groups to swap for three drug sellers controlled by the border police.

At seven o'clock in the morning, just as dawn broke, both sides arrived at the location for the hostage exchange—a flat area by the riverbank.

The border police bound the hands of the three drug sellers behind their backs and placed them at the very front of the crowd.

At the same time, the drug traffickers imprisoned the hostages in three separate groups. For every drug seller exchanged, they would release a group of hostages until all the drug sellers were exchanged and only then would they let all the hostages go.

The drug traffickers started shouting, but they used the local dialect, which Yetta Astir couldn't understand at all.

"What are they saying?" Yetta Astir asked Basil Jaak.
