Lower California. Mexicali TV Station.
Midday prime time.
As the host with a finely made-up face had just finished reading the news, and the camera began to pull back in preparation for her to deliver the closing remarks, a crew member rushed in from outside the broadcast booth, handing a document to the director.
The host immediately understood that some new material had suddenly come in.
The director glanced at it, motioned for someone to hand it to the host. When she received it, her eyebrows furrowed, but being a professional, she composed her face.
"We interrupt with an important message!"
"Armed drug traffickers have attacked a military base in Sonora State, just six kilometers from the Lower California border region. There are many casualties, and artillery fire has even fallen within Lower California territory, causing 17 civilian casualties. I, the Security Forces, strongly condemn this act and will make the drug traffickers pay with blood for blood debt!"
