The Return of General Williams 2 The War 6
At Kings LandNo one notifies the deaf that a marketplace is on fire. He has eyes to see the chaos and legs to help himself. (African Proverb). It was 7 PM and the Kings Land's Second in Command was in his house with his wife while listening to the broadcast. However, he could not sweep Gen. Awe's threat under the carpet.“Two hours?” He asked himself in trepidation after watching him.By estimation, the Head of State and Defense Minister were supposed to be back or contact him. When he did not hear from them, he decided to call them. When the first call timed out, he showed worries and called again.His call was interrupted by a call from the Third in Command. Before he could pick it up, the Brigade Commander's call interrupted it as well and he had no choice but to answer.“Hello, Brigadier. How may I …?"The brigadier who was scared out of his wits due to the absence of ammunition in the country went straight to the point, “The Head of State is not back. What do we do?”“I calle

The assumption of the manager confused the two guests. They were not aware that he never linked the Head of State's broadcast to them. The derogatory remarks from the public about Kings Land and the Field Marshal were injurious to their reputation and they could not redeem it. Rather, they resigned themselves to their fate.“Let us pray that we leave Canterbury alive,” he whispered.“You just said my mind. They are unknown enemies and we ignorantly crawled into their den,” the minister responded and they focused on the television.Presently, the hunger in their stomach should wait while they watch out for what will befall them.At Laura's HouseShe was in that sad state until the close of business when she got home and hoped to find succor from her parents but what she met was beyond her. It could be likened to one who dined with Satan's big brother.“Welcome back, my dear,” her mother greeted her when she walked into their apartment.“Good evening, Mom. I should have listened to yo

At OreganyBrig. Dale and his colleagues destroyed all the buildings that were connected with Kings Land. Apart from that, they ensured that the oil wells were temporarily shut down. Their embassies and schools were pulled down as well. The number of casualties who were mostly Kings Land citizens was not yet ascertained.While they were busy securing the borders, George and his team members arrived. They teamed up and moved the borders beyond the three cities that they recovered. Things were working in their favor until the unexpected happened. From nowhere, stray bullets hit some Oregany soldiers, George and Jerry who had been following him silently on their arms and legs respectively.“Ouch!” He screamed and held his left arm.Tim was astonished. Before he could comprehend the matter, he heard Jerry shriek in agony and held one of his legs“Ha!” He exclaimed in trepidation and focused on them.“Don't panic. Okay?” He assured them.Nevertheless, they heard more gunshots and one of

“Yes. If they were burnt, we would have seen the corpses of three people on that spot,” another person confirmed.The soldier who wished to take his life calmed down and looked around. He released his rescuer and asked, “Where is he, then?”“We will search for him. He may be fine,” his colleagues said one after the other.Notwithstanding, after the young soldiers left, the two brigadiers were despondent.“How can I return without them?” Brig. Dale cried out.Apart from him, no other person knew that the Third in Command of Canterbury was with them and a big loss to his country. Meanwhile, the reporter informed the Head of State of the latest and they were heartbroken. Immediately, the minister stopped reporting.“Gosh!” The disappointed soldiers exclaimed in anguish and the minister got up.“I will meet them,” he informed the rest even though he did not know what to do when he got there.The others were overburdened and could not stop him but one of them advised him, “Be careful.”He

“What kept you?” He asked with a broad smile that dazed him.Before he could recollect himself, the brigadier walked up to them and stood in open-mouthed wonderment. Seeing George standing there was surprising enough but seeing him safe and sound was completely unexpected. Many questions crowded his mind but he could not ask because they were in public and must hide Tim's identity.“Where are the rest?” Unable to contain his words any longer, he asked all the same.“They are here.”“Is that Brig. Dale?” Tim asked.“Yes. It is me,” he answered and walked in.He turned, faced his orderly, and instructed him, “Inform the brigadier that they are here.”“I got it, Brigadier,” he answered and walked away.George locked eyes with Brig. Dale for a few seconds before he asked him, “How are you?”“I'm good, Brigadier,” he answered soundly.The Brigadier shook his head and met Tim on his seat. He was unaware of the trauma that their few minutes of absence had caused them and asked, “What kept yo

They were still laughing when the Oregany Defense Minister resumed his commentary.“Wow!” The Head of State exclaimed and began to watch while the Second in Command returned to his office.He was watching and working and after two hours, he got a call from Tim. His face beamed and he picked up the call at once.“Hello, Tim,” he greeted him joyously.“Good morning, Your Excellency. I wish to inform you that we are back.”“I'm thrilled to hear that. Welcome back.”“Thank you, Your Excellency. I will come to your office later.”“It is all right. I will be waiting.”At Tim's HouseThe old man was troubled when he realized that the two slept in the office.“He had not had any rest since yesterday,” he murmured after the breakfast.He was more troubled because he did not speak with them. Meanwhile, Samuel was not bothered because he spoke with them. He returned to his room and occupied himself with one thing or the other.“I can call him and find out how they are doing,” the old man told hi

Samuel looked at Tim who was already eating for his opinion but his face was void of expression. He looked back at George and accepted, “That will be fine. At least I can raise my school fees before the end of the holidays.”The two laughed at him and he was amazed.“You don't even know how much you would be paid,” Tim stated and he was shy.They had their breakfast quickly and afterward, George took Samuel to the basement and instructed him, “For your test, write out the names of the raw materials we have here. You are free to ask questions if you are in doubt.”“Okay, Big Brother. I will call you when I'm confused,” he accepted but George who was walking briskly to join Tim disagreed with him.“That is not what I mean. You can ask anyone around,” he said and joined Tim.“I got it, Big Brother.”He stood aside and watched them as they got into the car.“See you later,” he said not knowing whether he was happy.“Later. Take care,” they responded simultaneously.“We need to see the doc

When he arrived, he requested, “Get a plate of soup for me.”“I'm sorry to inform you, Captain. It is finished,” the waiter said to avoid Ella's wrath.George smiled broadly at his good fortune and the Accountant looked around before he asked, “How come? How many people did you serve before it finished?”Their discussion was halted by the President's broadcast and everyone paid attention.(I, Gen. Felix Richmond, the Head of State and the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of Canterbury, my Second and Third in Command wish to call the attention of the United Nations to the barbaric art of my fellow Head of State, Field Marshal Brian Foxe - the Head of State of Kings Land. I considered it absurd, barbaric, and repulsive to sneak into my country and attack a young soldier who was going about his duty. This is unacceptable to me and I wish that he should tender apologies to the young soldier in particular and Canterbury as a whole. Thank you for listening.)At that point, the manager

“They will like it if you can assist with the transfer. The university has a campus in Birmingham,” he pleaded as though it was on their behalf and not for his benefit.“Is it possible?” Richard asked him.“Yes, Major. If the President talks to them, they would reconsider her.”“It is all right. Remind me on Monday,” Richard said and shut the door.“Thank you, Major. I …”He stopped when he saw the farmers coming to them with their produce.“We brought the squirrels, Supervisor,” one of them announced and looked at the Major's face.He was happy to know that he liked it. Valentine helped them to arrange them in the trunk. The good thing about their produce is that it is free from fertilizer because they could not afford it.“Thank you,” Valentine appreciated them and shut the trunk.“You are welcome, Supervisor. Thank you for informing him about our predicament.”“It is my pleasure.”“Thank you for the gifts,” Tim and Richard appreciated them at once.“Thank you for accepting them. W

In The Morning Tim, George, and the boys were preparing to go for their shooting training when he got a disturbing call from Richard.“Where are you?” He asked him at once.“I am at the gate, Boss,” he answered him.“I will be with you, shortly,” he said and walked out of his room.He got to George's room and informed him that he wished to visit the mining field. He frowned his face and asked, “On a Saturday? You need your rest.”“I know. Take the boys to the shooting range. I may meet you there,” he instructed him and moved quickly to avoid more questions.“It is all right,” he answered and continued dressing up.Tim got to the garage and drove to the gate. Richard joined him and he moved.“Kindly read the message to my hearing,” he requested and Richard did.After listening to him, he asked him, “When did this happen?”“I don't know.”“Have you not spoken with him?”“No, Boss. I woke up and saw the message and decided to come over at once.”“That is good. I wonder who would have

That evening, they closed from work for the day and resolved to visit the estate and show their appreciation for their cooperation.Likewise, they brought some farm produce to them. To cap it all, the hunters among them brought five sizeable edible gray squirrels.“These are from our hearts. Kindly accept them,” one of them said cheerfully.The workers focused on Valentine who was thrilled with the gesture. The foreigners were thrilled with the neighborliness and waited for him to speak.“This is wonderful. We are happy to know that you found us worthy of your friendship. We appreciate it,” he said.“Thank you for accepting us.”“I hope no one is molesting?” Valentine asked.“No, Supervisor. We appreciate you for your presence.”“You are welcome,” Valentine said and they walked away.He turned and looked at Pa Suresh, who was smiling beside him, and asked, “What do we do with the gray squirrels? I have not eaten it for a long time?”Before he could speak, Tyler and his friends walked

“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. However, he was happy to hear that. He recalled the line of wisdom that said, to whom much is given, much will be required and attributed it to the recent promotion.He informed the other managers and they converged in the vestibule.Shortly, Tim drove in and arrived at George's office

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,
