At Mount Olive"This place is fine," Gerald complimented the town and woke Samuel up.He looked out and asked with a sleepy voice, "Are we at Mount Olive?""Yes," Gerald answered."Do you like the town?" Tim asked."Yes, Brother-in-law," he answered, and shortly they were at the palace."Wow!" George exclaimed when he saw the beautiful edifice.Tim was thrilled as well but he only smiled. Richard was awestruck because he had not seen the picture before."This is a masterpiece," he said and got out of the car.Tim and the boys got out of the car, but George developed cold feet when he recalled the state of the compound. He looked at the once bushy courtyard that was decked with beautiful exterior tiles."This looks like a palace," Gerald pointed out."It is a palace," Richard informed him."I guessed right, then," he replied with glee.Meanwhile, Tim noticed that George was still in the car and called his attention, "Why are you still here?"He smiled weakly, opened the door, walked up
Now, the youths were scared and looked at the shrewd elder for his response.Meanwhile, the compensation seekers were hanging around and patiently waiting for their reward without paying attention to them."Let us do as he said, Sir" one of the youths pleaded with George.Now, Elder Kefas was on top of the world after the youths accepted his proposal over George's and he resolved to flaunt it.He inched closer to him and boasted rudely, "They know who to obey."In a flash, George released his bottled-up anger on him, "(Slap. Slap) How dare you come close to me?" He asked him indignantly."Huh!" Tim exclaimed and looked at the elder.The others were not left out. The Duke was surprised and began to walk towards them. To prove that he was still the local champion, he tried to attack George with vengeance and vehemence but he got more than he bargained for. Richard blocked him and cleared his two legs off the ground and he landed on the floor."What does he want to do?" George asked cal
Previously, he was skeptical about the admittance of the act but when he perceived that they were harmless, he accepted, “Yes, Sir.”To amuse himself, he asked further, “I thought you exonerated yourself from the act previously.”“You are right but I just recalled that in addition to praying for him to die, I teamed up with Cecilia and planted a poisonous mushroom in his house. As you can see, I worked harder than everyone,” he admitted joyously.Nevertheless, his assertion did not augur well with the others and they murmured. Although they did not speak out, Tim could read their facial expressions. He looked at Elder Kefas' wife and inquired, “Is your name on this list?”“Yes, Sir. My husband informed me about it.”“I see. Why was your name on the list?”“I don't know, Sir,” she answered innocently.Now, George was emotional. He thought of how his father agonized in pain for several years with no medical help and walked back to the car. Tim watched him for a while before he faced th
At Tim's House The outing was a joyous one for the family but Tim wished to know why George was disrespectful and invited him to his study.“What happened in the morning, George? I told you that I don't want the boys to come with us but you were bent on having your way,” he asked him angrily.Tim regretted his actions when he saw his wet eyes because his confidence may be harmed. He locked eyes with him for a while and looked away without a word. They were silent for some minutes before he spoke.“I grew up without siblings and it was difficult for me. They are the only siblings I have and I can't see them sad.”Tim was calm but digested his words. Afterward, he declared, “We both suffered the same thing as children, but we should not over-pamper them because of our pasts.”Instead of answering, he looked askance at him, and he continued, “If not, they may never be independent, and that is not good for any of us.”“I got it, Boss. I will be careful next time,” he promised him.“That
Her looks explained why she greeted them wrongly and they did not respond. Likewise, Barr. Gibson went straight to the point. He brought out the subpoena from his folder and stretched it to her. “Kindly go through this, Miss Dickson and acknowledge the receipt by signing here,” he said and pointed at the spot where she would sign.“What is it again, Barrister,” she asked in despair and began to read while they focused on her.If Tim was not dead, she would have concluded that he got the news after Dr. Robinson released the video. Since he was dead, he concluded that the barrister must have done that. All the same, She dried her tears, which made the write-ups blurry, and continued reading.“Oh, my God,” she staggered backward and screamed when she saw her offense.The barrister supported her from the back and stopped her from slumping. When she was stable, she continued.Afterward, she faced the barrister and said, “Point of correction, Barrister, I did not abort any twins.”“Just si
He collected the pack happily and appreciated her, “Wow! Thank you so much for this, Mrs. Gilchrist.”“Think nothing about it. I hope to have you by the next holiday,” she answered happily.“I hope so as well.”The Head of State's Chief security officer and other staff members were not left out. They gave him suitable gifts for a student and he was delighted. He appreciated them one after the other. Later, Tim came to pick him up. Since it was his last day, he decided to see the Head of State.After the salutation, he offered him a seat, and Tim appreciated him, “Thank you, Your Excellency, for absorbing my brother. He had learned a lot.”“You don't need to bother. He is a good boy.”“Thank you for the compliment. We shall be on our way.”“Wait a minute. What will he like as a gift?” The head of state asked and he waited.“I don't think you have to bother yourself. Let him learn how to serve out free will.”“You are right but my office will take care of his term school fees. I think t
Samuel quickly walked into his arms and hugged him tightly. Tim hugged him as well and after some seconds, he released him and looked into his wet face.He cleaned his tears with his hand and said, “You are a strong boy. I know you will make us proud.”Samuel snorted, “I will,” and acquiesced.Although Gerald was not whimpering he could not hide his feelings. He looked at the two and tried to be a big boy. Instantly, he called out, “Samuel, stop crying, or your mates will make fun of you.”His advice worked like magic, and he braced up.“Have a nice day, Brother-in-law,” he said and dried his tears.Tim gave him a reassuring smile and tapped his back, “I wish you the same,” he responded.They dragged their bags and moved while he watched them with nostalgia until they disappeared. Unknown to them, their drama would make an attention-grabbing headline for a few days. Apart from Erick's father, the other parents were thrilled to see such fondness between a supposed driver and his master
With Jerry's approval, Barbara did not bother to question his movement. Likewise, Laura was occupied with the thought of how to defend herself in court since no lawyer agreed to stand for her. Therefore, she did not notice him. Even if she did, she would not have recognized him.At The GatehouseCpl. Simpson was aware that George and the other managers would be having their weekly meeting and dared not disturb him. Apart from the meeting, the Captain's request was absurd and unworthy of his attention.“Kindly take your seat, Captain,” he informed him.Without a response, he sat on the three-seater stainless chair and crossed his legs. Now, the time was a few minutes to 10 AM. To fulfill all righteousness, he dialed the General Manager's landline.“Hello, Corporal. How may I help you?” The clerk asked him.“Hello, Clerk. I wish to speak with the boss,” he said to the hearing of the Captain.“He is out for his weekly meeting.”“I see. Thank you for informing me,” he said and cut the cal
