The Return of General Williams 2 The Failed Reconciliation 1
“Excuse me, Your Excellency. How did your reconciliation meeting go?”He ignored him and joined the taxi driver who just stopped in front of him.At Raino Gen. Anderson had embarrassed his country enough and the citizens were not happy. Before he boarded the plane, he learned from the news that there was a coup in his country, and his Second in Command was the interim Head of State.“I expected that,” he mumbled. In the broadcast, all their borders were closed, and no one could travel in or out of Raino. He was disoriented when he heard that the flight he booked had been canceled.“Ha! What have I done to myself,” he murmured.Now, the passenger was disgruntled and blamed him for their predicament. “Look at what the Head of State has caused,” they grumbled.At that point, he needed to hide his face to avoid being lynched. Without security guards and pressmen, he was not significant, and it favored him. He sneaked out of the lobby and headed to the airport hotel as a commoner.At Th

“It is a brief trip. I hope to be back tomorrow,” he explained.“It is okay. I wish you a safe trip,” Tim stated and he was pleased.“Thank you for your concern.”“You are welcome.”He was relieved that he had crossed the hurdle. He thought that he would ask many questions but he did not. Likewise, he returned to work afterward. The day moved gradually and Tim continued to work in the vehicle while Richard and the chef continued to survey the place. After a while, he called the Second in Command.“Hello, Tim. How are you?”“Hello. Good afternoon, Your Excellency. I'm great,” he answered and updated him on Ambrose's proposed trip.The Second in Command smiled softly and advised him, “Permit him to fool himself.”“I got it, Your Excellency. One more thing.”“Yes. Let's hear it.”“I have asked the construction company to construct a mobile house in the field for the workers.”“Why mobile houses?”“I opted for that because we don't know where the precious stones are and erecting a permane
The Return of General Williams 2 The Birthday
Samuel was in high spirits as the birthday drew closer, and it affected everyone, especially the old man who was always at home with him. Their union was a relief to Tim and the others who go to work because they had learned to be alone. Meanwhile, Samuel was a lovely chap to be with and for the first time, the old man remembered that he had no physical money.“How do I support him on his birthday?” He asked himself.After much deliberation, he concluded, “He will revoke the fixed deposit account and get some precious stones. We can sell them and get some cash.” George returned from work that day, and he informed him of his intentions. George did not want to argue with him.“How much do you wish to support him with?” He asked after listening to him.His father informed him of the amount and he accepted it, “It is all right. Is there anything else you want me to know?”“Nothing for now,” he answered and he left for his room.They converged at the dining table that night and discussed

He hissed, cut the call, and answered, “It is Samuel. My little brother-in-law.”“Is he mad at me?” Samuel pondered in trepidation.Gen. Hill was thrilled to hear that and teased him, “I almost forgot that you are the father of grown-ups. Why did you cut his call?”“He can be clingy every so often. Especially when he is alone.”“Alone? What about his brother?”“He is volunteering at His Excellency's office.”“That is good to hear. The young man may have a good reason for calling you. Kindly call him back.”Tim did not wish to disrupt their meeting and showed reluctance.“Call him back. I wish to say 'hello' to him,” Gen. Hill insisted.He had no choice but to comply. “If you say, so.”Instantly, he called him back and they waited for him to pick it up. Meanwhile, when he cut the call, Samuel felt bad and concluded that he had disturbed his work. Therefore, he resolved not to call him again. Now, he was afraid to answer him and vacillated. He fixed his eyes on the phone until it time

Samuel was the first to arrive at the dinner table in readiness to share his new idea. Shortly after that, the old man joined him and admired his happy face.“I hope you rested very well?” Samuel asked him joyously.“I'm fine. How is the planning going?”“Splendid. I have a new idea.”“Wow! That is great. I can't wait to hear it.”Soon, Tim and the rest joined them and they began to wait for the chef.“So, what is your new idea, Samuel?” Tim asked.George and Gerald were surprised to hear that and focused on him. As usual, he was shy.“Let's hear it,” George persuaded him.He happily shared his idea with them and they were thrilled.“You must have been thinking deeply to come up with this idea,” Gerald complimented him.“You are right, Big Brother. I don't want them to miss out at all.”“That is a good one. Meanwhile, the Head of State and the Second in Command will be part of your birthday,” Tim informed him and he was flabbergasted to hear that.“Ha! How did they know about it?” He

“Gerald and Samuel,” they shouted in unison.They were attracted by the familiar voices and looked up. They were delighted to see the familiar faces and stood up at once.“Wow!” They exclaimed and hugged them one after the other despite their untidy looks.Afterward, one of them asked them, “When did you come and why didn't you come to check on us?”“We would have done that after leaving here,” Gerald explained.“I got it. How are your parents?”“They are fine. How are your parents too?”“They are fine as well. I'm pleased to see you.”Gerald faced Pa Suresh and informed him, “We will be back shortly.”“It is all right,” he answered and watched them walk away with their friends.“We are glad to see you, Samuel. You have added some flesh,” one of them complimented him.He smiled broadly and responded, “Thank you for the compliment. You look good, too.”Meanwhile, while Tim and the rest were waiting in the car George asked, “Where will the event take place?”“You are right. I have bee

At RakaiaThe news about Samuel's visit had gone around the small community of about eight hundred inhabitants and they were expectant.Likewise, the rehearsal for the upcoming event, which began the previous Saturday, proved that Rakaia was a place with hidden talents, but no one knew it, including themselves. Nevertheless, the other families wished to claim the ownership of Samuel and play the host on that day and trouble broke out among them.“Are you the host, Fabian?” An angry youth asked him“I have been wondering. So, by visiting your family first has made your family superior to ours?” Another person asked and Fabian was lost.“That is not the issue. I am only saying that …”“Saying what?” Another person yelled at him and he was disoriented.“I beg to take my leave,” he said and moved.To his surprise, more than half of the youths followed him and left the disgruntled ones behind.“Let them leave. Who is he to exert superiority over us?”“Just imagine that. After all, Samuel w

On Friday morning, Pa Suresh and his family woke up and looked at the soldiers who were about five hundred meters away from them and minding their business.“Why are they running away from them?” He asked his wife.“I have been wondering. If they wished to arrest us, they would have done that since the day they cleared the field,” his wife responded.Just then, Fabian walked out of the room and asked, “If all of us go into hiding, who will receive Samuel tomorrow?” “He would be embarrassed,” Ann added.“He will be disappointed in me. He believed in us and chose to share his joy with us,” Pa Suresh declared.“I will wait for them. The soldiers can arrest me if they wish,” Fabian resolved, and they continued with their daily activities.At The Auxiliary Armory PLCStephanie and Bright's movement angered Laura who assumed that they were doing that to provoke her.“Scumbags,” she cursed as usual.Nevertheless, the news of Sgt. Young's little brother's birthday spread among the staff memb

“Thank you, Mark,” they responded one after the other.“Kindly take us to the pavilion,” George requested.“It is all right, President,” he answered and led the way. They moved with him and George was surprised to see Tim walking with the General Manager.'When did he arrive?' He asked himself.Some days are heavy but Tim had to grin and bear it. They checked the pavilion and took notes of the minor work they needed to do before Sunday. George did not have the chance to speak with Tim. However, he was confused when he got on the bus with them.When he looked around and did not see his clunker, he asked himself, 'Did he come with us?'Tim was obediently sitting beside the GM like a wimp and he had forgotten about him. They returned to the complex afterward and got out of the bus. To avoid missing out completely that day, he decided to take the plunge.He followed the General Manager back to his office. When they got to the door, he asked him, “What brings you, Driver?”Now, he had ope

At The Complex.A slave may also have slaves. Tim wished to see Stephanie and would not want to explain his purpose of visiting her to the General Manager. Instantly, he came up with a reason for him to leave the complex and called George.He picked up the call immediately and greeted him, “Hello, Boss. How may I assist you?”“Hello, George. Kindly get your managers to find out if the borough is ready for His Excellency to use it on Sunday.”“Huh! Sunday?”“Yes. It is urgent. We just got off an emergency meeting.”“It is all right, Boss. We will be there right away.”“Thank you for that,” he appreciated him and cut the call.George informed the General Manager of the development and he was on his toes.

At Tim's House They met the old man waiting for them in the parlor and felt bad.“We apologize for keeping you waiting, Old man,” Tim apologized when they walked in.He smiled and accepted, “Never mind, Young man. How was your outing?” He looked at the two boys and inquired.“It was fine, Old man,” they answered immediately.“Welcome back,” Francis who began to set the table when they returned, greeted them.“Thank you, Francis,” they responded immediately.Afterward, they settled down to eat. “Was she surprised to see the gifts?” The old man asked curiously.“Yes, Old man. She almost fainted,” Samuel answered.“I recorded everything," Gerald said and the old man requested to see it.He turned on his device and passed it to him. He began to watch the video and Tim studied his countenance.“Oh! She appreciated it,” he said when she hugged Samuel.“Yes, Old man. She is a nice person,” Samuel pointed out.“You are right. It is obvious.”Tim was happy to hear that and asked further, “Is

At The Lobby After Laura's father upset her the previous day, she had not fed well. She was hoping to do that at the canteen during lunch. Now, Barbara wished to impede that.“I can't wait for her anymore. It is my right to go for lunch and I won't miss it because she chose to be away from work for no good reasons,” she concluded. Although troublesome, she was justified in being upset. When she saw some workers returning from lunch with their bottles of sweet drinks and neatly packaged cake, her desire to be at the canteen increased.“She can explain her truancy to Capt. Jaja,” she said picked up her phone and walked out of the cubicle.She was walking briskly and bypassed George who was walking back leisurely with Jerry and his colleagues. He smiled inwardly and said, “You came too late.”Nevertheless, she got to the junior staff canteen and ordered her food before she sat down. While she was waiting, she saw the gigantic cake in the senior staff canteen and wished to have a taste

At The Canteen After the clerk left to get Stephanie, Tim walked back to his car which he parked at a vantage point so that he could see through the canteen's transparent glass window. He smiled heartily when he saw her walking with the two.“Oh, my God! She is pretty,” he said to himself.Meanwhile, George and the other managers had recovered from the shock of the decorations and were sitting on their seats. Samuel was with Bright and taking instructions from him. On the other hand, Bright had informed Barbara that she must work closely with him and return to her office after the celebration.“Ha! Miss Dickson will be mad at me if I fail to return on time,” she made clear.“Tell her that I delayed you,” he undertook for her, and she was calm.Meanwhile, the General Manager and clerk walked Stephanie to the door like a father who walked her daughter through the aisle on her wedding day. Stephanie glared at Bright and said, “You have done your worst. Right?”The GM overlooked her bic

“I'm here, Secretary,” he said when he got to the office.“That's good. I called you because …,” he explained.The clerk smiled happily and asked him, “What do you want me to do?”“Let's go. The cake will arrive soon.”“It is all right.”They got to the lobby and Bright gave Laura a hateful look. He smiled at Barbara and requested, “Kindly come with me, Barbara.”“Oh!” She exclaimed, got up from her seat, and adjusted her wears. Laura could not look at them but kept herself busy with her phone. When Barbara was set, she joined them and they moved. Nobody was surprised when she looked at them with an unreadable expression until they walked out of the door.Within her, she wished to be like Barbara who could relate freely with everyone.“Where are we going, Secretary?” Barbara asked.“To the canteen,” he explained and moved on.Instantly, his phone rang and it was the attendant. He stopped in his tracks and picked up the call. The two stopped, too, and waited for him.“Hello.”“Hello,

“My goodness. Mine was in October. I should have informed him so that he would return the gesture,” Bright teased.“Too bad. That will be in the coming year. I called you to plan it out. How will he surprise her?”“Does he have any gift for her?”“Yes. One of them is a cake. I will give you the contact of an attendant in the mall. You can ask her to deliver it.”“I see. Leave the planning for me. I will inform the General Manager and he will keep her busy until we are set.”“That is good. One more thing. I don't want the former secretary to be part of the celebration. You know the feud between them.”Bright smiled slyly and said, “I got it, Boss. I know what to do to her.”“I trust you. I want a seamless job.”“You can count on me, Boss. Congratulations once again on your well-deserved promotion,” he said sincerely.“Thank you for the compliment. Kindly share the pictures and videos with me.”“I will do that after editing them.”“That is good to hear. Thank you for always covering my

“Oh! I did not see it that way. We should do something different from Oliver's regime. I will invite the Head of State or his representative to the celebration,” the fake Duke said.“Yes. Then you will collect the certificate of recognition,” another elder said.“Also remind him of our allocation. We will use part of it for the celebration,” Elder Kefas stated.They wallowed in fools' paradise and they were happy to arrive at a consensus.At Tim's House They returned home happily and the old man was emotional. He looked at Tim and poured out his mind, “I would have been dead by now if not for you, Young man.”George, who was about to walk to his room, was touched and stopped in his tracks. He faced Tim and waited for his response.“Think nothing about it, Old man. We would all have been dead,” he said and faced Samuel.Samuel was emotional, too, but he smiled dryly and rested his head on Tim's chest. He crossed his left hand on his shoulders and the old man said, “I'm hearing this fo

The old man was beautifully dressed for the celebration, and people like Ella would not recognize him because he looked younger and healthier.He got up and they walked to the podium while the audience looked on in awe. The Head of State smiled and said, “Welcome to the podium again Mr. Young.”“Thank you, Your Excellency,” he looked into his eyes and said.George furrowed his brow and looked on in wonderment while the Head of State continued, “Canterbury wished to recognize you for a specific deed. In less than a year, the brave son you gave to us has served Canterbury gallantly. Through him, we conquered nations. He administered justice where necessary. We can also say that he shut the mouths of lions, quenched the fury of the flames, and escaped the edge of the sword. His youth, which would have been his weakness, was turned to strength. He became powerful in battle and destroyed foreign armies and enemies.”He stopped when the clapping ovation was louder than his Mic. Therefore,
