As Leroy coughed, tears streamed down. Gordan chuckled. "This cigarette is strong, but it really wakes you up. Don't smoke too much, or you'll get addicted to it. Once you try other cigarettes, you won't be able to get used to it anymore."

His smile faded after that.

He remembered how Vivian had bought him this brand of cigarettes as he had always looked for excuses to make her angry.

He even got angry when the cigarettes he smoked did not taste good enough.

A few days later, Vivian handed him this particular brand of cigarettes.

She told him that it had a cool taste that most people could not handle, and some could not even tolerate it.

Gordan tried smoking the cigarette.

He initially found it difficult to smoke. However, the look on Vivian's face when she thought he would not be able to handle it compelled him to keep smoking it until he became accustomed to it.

He was hooked after smoking a few packs of cigarettes. Other cigarettes tasted bland when compared to it.

He would rather not smoke if it was not this particular brand of cigarettes. He realized that this was Vivian's trap to keep him by her side.

"It's hard to get used to it. But it really wakes you up," said Leroy as he took a few puffs before putting out the cigarette.

Gordan clicked his tongue and said, "What a waste."

Leroy urged him, "Come on. It's almost time."

Gordan took two more puffs before putting out his cigarette. Then, he slowly walked to the window. He checked with his equipment and saw that they were in their respective places. They were asleep and had not moved.

He put on his bulletproof vest and equipped himself with his weapons.

Leroy and another man also equipped themselves while Gordan checked in with the walkie-talkie.

"Mic check. Are you guys ready?" Gordan asked through the walkie-talkie.

The operation involved not only the three of them but also two others who were in nearby villages. There were five of them in total involved in Pierre's rescue operation.
