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. He smiled softly when he noticed that it was a message from George. He punched on it immediately and was wowed by the pictures.At The ComplexGeorge did not know that the few seconds of discussion he had with Gen. Awe was a potion of courage - an overdose at that. It had opened a canworm and complicated things for the Field Marshal. He was searching the television channels to see the General's broadcast when the General Manager and the Sales Manager walked in with
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
“I promised Samuel that I would not go out and leave him alone.”“Wow! Where is he?”“He is sleeping in his room. Let him know that I left because you are around.”“It is all right.”At The Head of State's OfficeGerald was in the Secretary's office when Tim arrived and he greeted him like everyone. He answered them and walked on. After he sat down, the Head listened attentively to his story and thereafter, he asked, “Are you saying that they are in Canterbury?”“Yes, Your Excellency. Do you wish to see him?”“Not even my shadow will grant him that honor. Let me get the Second in Command,” he said and dialed his numberHe arrived after a few minutes and was surprised to see Tim. He stood up and saluted him. Likewise, he returned the salute and they sat down.“I'm here, Your Excellency," he faced him and stated.“Yes. Tim brought a disturbing report and I would like you to hear it.”The Second in Command faced Tim and he narrated the story once again.“Why are some Heads of State stupi
“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? Samuel almost cried when he woke up and discovered that you were away. I wonder what will happen if he knows that you will be out of the country.”“I know. They will help us prepare snacks. They will be happy to know that the snacks will sustain us all through the night,” he stated and got up.George got up too and Tim tapped his back and advised him, “Run along. Prepare the old man for our departure.”“I got it.”“Informp0 Jerry. Let him ge
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
