At Oregany

Brig. 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

    “It is all right. I'm glad that he got what he deserved. A small country has defeated him,” Bright pointed out.“I'm happy that you are seeing it that way. What would you have done if you knew that I was attacked?”George's question took him unawares but he answered based on his emotions, “I would have killed him with my bare hands.”“Ha! Can you kill a Field Marshal with your bare hands?”Bright recalled himself and only laughed. He left afterward and George gave his visit a thought.“What has changed? Cecilia never loved my dad and me but Ella loved him unconditionally while Bright and others love me too.”At The CanteenAfter Ella left the old man, she was encumbered with how to break the news of additional soup for George.“I hope the Supervisor will understand,” she mumbled and got out of the bus.“Welcome back, Ella. There is an emergency,” the supervisor informed her.“Thank you, Supervisor. If I may ask, what is the emergency?”“Sgt. Young wished to give the managers a treat a

    He scanned him before he answered and offered them seats.“Thank you, Captain,” Richard appreciated him and they sat down.“This is Valentine. Sgt. Young …?”“Yes, Maj. Bowen. He has informed me of him,” he said.“I see,” Richard smiled and he faced Valentine.“I have checked the market value of your car and I am certain that you have done the same.”Valentine shamefacedly looked down and answered, “No, Captain. I have not.”“That won't be an issue. You can look it up on the internet,” the Accountant said and focused on him.He was shy to inform him that his phone was confiscated by George on the day of the fight. Richard who was familiar with his story smiled and intervened.“Let's go by your discovery, Captain. He will accept your offer.”“It is all right. Can I have your account details?”“I don't want the payment into my account. That will require me to go to the bank. Kindly pay it to the orphanage as a support for the upcoming anniversary.”The Accountant smiled and accepted, “I

    He focused on George with so many thoughts racing through his mind. Prominent among them was regretting sending him to the Defense Academy. It was his last option when he was hiding him from Cecilia especially when his health condition was not stable.“I got you, Young man. Don't allow them to pull you down. Okay?” He advised them.“We will not,” they answered simultaneously and continued with their dinner.After a long silence, the old man inquired, “I hope he did not hurt you?”“Not at all, Dad.”“That is good to hear.”Tim laughed inwardly at his selfishness and continued eating. They continued eating silently until they were through and showed appreciation accordingly. George took his prescription while everyone watched him.“You will be fine,” Tim assured him and he nodded in admittance. While they were resting and watching the television in the parlor, Samuel leaned closer to George and whispered, “Big brother, can I submit my assignment now for your assessment?”“Sure. Get it,

    “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,

    “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,
