The population of Hexiye Village is not large, only over thirty households.
In its heyday, there used to be more than a hundred households living here.
However, after the fall of Sadam, the place didn't become more "free"; on the contrary, even basic security couldn't be guaranteed anymore.
Over the years, those who could flee did, and now only these thirty-some households remain.
The air of the village is suffused with the stench of blood.
In front of a small house, three armed personnel enter to search, with one guarding the door and two going inside.
After searching the house, one of them gets impatient, throws his hands in frustration and complains: "I don't know what the boss is thinking. Hasn't this place been searched before? Everyone was driven to the open space in the middle of the village; it has been searched twice already, where could anyone be?"
Another warns him: "Keep your voice down. If you're heard, you won't be able to save your own life."
