A small extract from Oblivion by Anthony Horowitz

“Did you ever use children?” Matt said. It was what he had been
thinking earlier. Suddenly he wanted to know.
“Children?”
“To carry drugs.”
Matt hadn’t asked Lohan about his life in Hong Kong before the two of
them had met. The more he learnt about the Triad leader, the more
difficult it might be to travel with him. But he knew he wasn’t going to
sleep while the image of the Brazilian boy remained in his head. He
looked over the front seat and saw Lohan’s eyes reflected in the driver’s
mirror. They were dark and cruel, and Matt knew that they had seen
more violence and death than he could begin to imagine.
“Yes.” Lohan answered the question as if it were obvious, as if it were
nothing to be ashamed of.
“Why?”
“Sometimes it was easier. Especially in airports. When the customs officers see a little boy clutching a teddy bear, they probably won’t want
to look inside the bear.”
“Or inside the boy.”
“We had people who swallowed drugs and carried them for us inside
their stomachs. But they were paid. It was their choice. What you saw
today – that we would never do.”
“But you still smuggled drugs.” Matt hadn’t meant to throw out the
accusation and regretted it immediately. But Lohan didn’t seem to mind.
“It was part of our business, yes.” The voice – reasonable, considered –
floated out of the darkness. “Does it bother you, Matt?”
“Drugs have killed a lot of people.”
“Cars have killed more. So have cigarettes and alcohol.”
“But they’re all legal.”
“Who decides what is legal or not legal? Politicians! And do you think
that politicians are always right, that they always know what is best?
People all over the world wanted drugs and it was part of my work to
supply them. I think this was reasonable. Supply and demand. It is at the
very heart of capitalism. Unfortunately, a politician in some room
decided to interfere and because of this I found myself operating outside
the law. I was a criminal. I am not ashamed of this. To be honest with
you, I would rather be a criminal than a politician. Certainly, I have
done less harm.”
