The Return of General Williams 2 Modern Day Slavery 12
At The Mining FieldsTim decided to work from home. For that, Richard and another soldier went to the complex and picked Valentine up. He was disillusioned with the arrangement and did not believe that the Major had not planned to kill him on the way. If only he was aware that Tim, whom he believed was on his side was more dangerous than Richard, he would have calmed down.“What of the driver?” He asked after a long silence.Richard just realized the impact that Tim's absence had on him and allayed his fears.“He is busy with other things. You will meet the Boss for the payment of your car today.”He cheered up a bit and asked, “So soon? Who is the buyer?”“The company.”“Ha. Does Sgt. Young approve of it?”“Who else would have done that?”“Oh, my God. Does he like me? I mean has he forgiven me?”Richard ignored him and drove on. Nevertheless, Valentine decided to maintain his limit. Shortly, they were at the field.With the lunch, they would work until the close of work.At Tim's Hou

Meanwhile, he planned to sell his car and donate the money to the orphanage.”“Wow! I hope he is not trying to deceive you with this gesture.”“Well. He will only have himself to blame. I have my eyes on him.”“It is all right,” he

The phone's speaker was not on but Samuel heard enough to know that George was controlling the affairs of the organization with military precision.“I want to be like George when I grow up, Brother-in-law,” he declared confidently and Tim was flabbergasted.“Why did you say that?” He looked into his eyes and asked.“He is intrepid - not afraid of anything.”“I like that. You will be the bravest soldier of your time.”“Thank you, Brother-in-law. I will not let you down.”At that moment, his phone beeped, and he looked at it.

It had opened a canworm and complicated things for the Field Marshal.

Tim was engrossed in watching the lovebirds in the garden. Although he could not hear them he could see the dreamy state of their eyes. He was distraught when the janitor walked in through the slightly ajar door and distracted them.“I am back, Boss,” he announced dutifully and stretched out the acknowledgment copy.Tim searched his countenance for any clues on Mr. Dickson's reaction when he got the letter but got none.“I see. Who did you give the letter?” He asked and collected the copy.“One of the soldiers said he was sleeping and collected it on behalf of his boss.”He quickly looked at the name and signature of the receiver and recognized him as one of the security guards.“It's okay. You can leave,” he said and the janitor paid obeisance and left.Tim looked at the surveillance again and saw the lovebirds laughing happily and was infested. He laughed too and asked himself, “When did they realize that they love each other?”Now, it was time to leave and the old man walked her t

He opened the door for them and they got out one after the other without appreciation. Nevertheless, they were unaware that he was Sgt. Young until that time.“Good afternoon, Sgt. Young,” the Corporal at the door saluted him, and their eyes beamed in excitement.“Good afternoon,” he returned the salute and walked towards the automatic glass door and his officers followed him.To his surprise, the guests were transfixed.“Kindly come in, Field Marshal,” he turned back and pleaded.Whether they were aware that he slapped Sgt. Young or not, it was late. They feigned boldness, smiled weakly, and followed him. He led them into the hotel lobby and offered them seats.They sat down, appreciated him for the first time but could not take their eyes off him.“How can I slap Sgt. Young who ended Gen. Hanklin's career?” He asked with a low tone and looked at Jerry and his men who were standing aside.“I thought he was the Sales Manager. How come he is not reacting?” the minister asked him and go

“Did you speak with their Head of State as I said?"“Yes, I did. He is happy to know that we are coming.”“That is good. We are leaving in a couple of minutes. Brigadier Dale is coming with us with five hundred soldiers.”“I got it. I will not like my old man to know where I am going. He may die before the war begins.”“I know. I have planned it out. We will pick up the explosives from the basement and leave for the complex. You will call him later and tell him that we will work all through the night.”“That is a good idea. What about my brothers?

They treated our matter so soon,” the fake Duke made clear.“I said it. If you didn't move, they would assume you are not qualified to rule the Dukedom,” Elder Kefas pointed out, and the other elders agreed with him.“The time is short and we need the allocation to start planning. Has it been released?” Another elder asked them.“Not at all. What do we do?” The fake Duke asked the elders.“Huh! I propose that you should visit the headquarters again. Ask the person in charge to hasten things up.”“You are right,” he said and looked at the time, “It is just 10 AM.

The groups danced and it was fun.“Thank you for this,” the host appreciated them, but there was an observation.A middle-aged man was sitting with the widows, and it was strange. The organizers thought it was an error and one of them walked up to him to correct it.“Hello, Old man. You should sit with the widowers and not here,” the official informed him.“Thank you for informing me, but I am not a widower,” he clarified.The organizer furrowed his brow and inquired further, “If you are not a widower, what are you? A widow?”Now, one of the security men thought that he was proving stubborn, joined them and waited for his answer.He smiled mildly and answered, “No, I am not a widow. I'm representing my daughter.
