He understood the look and got up. Shortly, he returned with a cup of tea and Tim appreciated them. He began to sip the tea and was attracted to the television. The news of the resumption of the schools in Canterbury, especially the Defense Academy, was going on, and he was attracted to it. To his delight, he saw the queue at the gate but only the luxury cars were displayed, so he was not bothered about any form of publicity. He laughed silently and lifted his cup of tea. He was sipping it when he saw the clip of the affectionate moment with him and the boys and he was awestruck. Likewise, he used the tea cup to cover his surprise and pretended not to be interested in the news. “Who recorded this?” He asked himself. Nevertheless, he looked at Stephanie and noticed she was not watching the news. He put his teacup down and focused on the news. He saw the other schools and laughed at a family whose child ran back to the car to avoid going to school. “What if their parents see us?” He
Tim walked briskly to catch up with the GM who was close to the door. "He did not respect him like a Major," he said to himself. They walked to the gate and met the Captain waiting for them. Now, there was a mix-up. He never envisaged the accident. His primary reason for following Tim was to know his boss and butter him up so that his son would be favored by the Head of State. To him, the General Manager was his supposed boss but could not be the father of the two boys."Good day, Captain," he got up and greeted him without a hand salute since they were of the same rank.At that point, he had scanned him and made his reservations. "Good day, Captain. Did you say that my driver damaged your car?" He asked him.At that point, all eyes were on him and they waited silently for his answer. He looked at Tim's face and looked away immediately when he saw that he was staring daggers at him."Did you get my question, Captain?" Capt Bolton asked when he noticed that he was speechless.The Ca
The guard was unaware of what transpired at the inner gate and suggested, “I propose that you go back to the gate and request to speak with the President.”“Or the General Manager,” another guard chipped in.The smile on his face disappeared immediately. Seeing the President was out of his ideas especially when the Major had said that he could be an accomplice of Gen. Hanklin. Besides, he just left the General Manager.He concluded that the young soldiers wished to harsh his mellow and forwent his car.“Have a nice day,” he simply said and walked away.The first guard pouted while their leader giggled as they watched him walk away in despondency.“What did he come to the complex to do in the first place?” A soldier asked his colleagues.“Who knows?”On the Road“I suggest that we visit Ambrose, Boss. It is unclear to me why his recovery is slow,” Richard proposed.“It is all right. How was he the last time you visited him?”“There was no remarkable improvement. He was just there.”“I
“Let us give him one additional week. If there is no improvement, he is free to take him back instead of allowing him to die here.”“That is my point.”“After all, he has done a lot for him.”“I'm glad that you are seeing it that way.”“It is okay. Let's see him.” Dr. Robinson got up and Tim did the same thing.Back To The Ward“It is okay,” Richard said, sat down on the bed, and began to interrogate Michael. “Do you think he is still happy with Canterbury?” Michael was startled to hear that and answered honestly, “Certainly, Major.”“I don't think so. It was the hatred for us that led him into this. Am I right?”“Not at all, Major. He incurred a lot of debt because our Head of State was not responding to his emails.”“We are saying the same thing. He wished to take his life and put the blame on us because he hated us.”His point was succinct and he could not argue further. Notwithstanding, Richard wished to ensure that he freed his country from a negative reputation before them an
Richard took them to the Dome where the contractors were waiting for them. Indeed, Samuel's birthday changed their destinies. They only saw the Dome on television before the war. Thereafter, they had no television or the means of seeing it.“Wow!” They exclaimed when they got out of the car.“Do you like the place?” Richard asked them.“Yes, Major,” they responded with glee.They met the contractors and read the terms and conditions of the contract and the two soldiers interpreted it to them where there was ambiguity. At last, one person declined and only Fabian and one person signed the contract.“What is your name?” Richard asked the one who declined after he drove off.“My name is Tyler, Major.”“That is good. Why did you decline the contract?”“From the conditions, I won't have my privacy. My movement will be restricted. I don't like such a lifestyle,” he answered.“That is a wise decision. Fabian and co, do you understand that your privacy will be tampered with as a celebrity?”“
“Point of correction, I am Miss Dickson,” she explained arrogantly.“I see,” he swallowed hard and responded.“Meanwhile, why are you pretending to care about me after releasing the video of my abortion to the public? That shows how unprofessional you are. Are you aware that I can sue you for that?”“It is not what you think. We can talk about it.”“You can keep that to yourself because that is not why I am here. I want the report of the abortion. Period.”“Ha! What do you need it for? I think you should apologize to your husband and come back together.”“I said it. You are unprofessional and too old to articulate the happenings around you. How can a dead man come back with his ex-wife?”To avoid complicating things more, he dropped the discussion and acquiesced to her opinion, “I got it. Kindly wait for your report at the reception. It will be ready in a couple of minutes.”She pushed her lips up and walked out angrily.“Ha! Tim must have lived in bondage while living with her,” he c
A few kilometers away from the hospital, the ambulance screeched and stopped suddenly and the impact almost threw Ambrose off the bed. Tim was affected, too, too, but he was more interested in saving the patient. “Oh!” He screamed and supported him with his two hands.He tried to ensure that he did not fall by pushing him slightly back to the bed. In his haste, many things happened at the same time. His cross bag had hit him severally but he was not bothered.Meanwhile, Ambrose was startled and tried to support himself. He grabbed his bag and Tim was scared. He observed him and noticed that his eyes were open.“Driver, be patient with me and I will pay everything I owe you before the week runs out,” he rambled.“Who are you talking to, Ambrose?” Tim asked him and he was shocked to hear his voice.He looked intently at Tim, but instead of looking back, he knocked on the window to alert the driver, who was trying to restart the vehicle.As an Emergency Medical Technician, he had heard
Meanwhile, Ambrose had sat up and was waiting for the medical gadgets to be removed. The driver looked into his wet eyes and wondered why he was not happy. Instantly, he pulled out the gadgets and adjusted his hospital clothes.“Kindly send for the stretcher,” Dr. Robinson requested and Dr. Edward obeyed.“Ask the mortician to get ready, please,” he faced Dr. Raphael and pleaded.Ambrose got out of the ambulance and Tim led the way. To say that the doctors and Michael were befuddled was an understatement. The driver tried to support him since Tim and Richard were unwilling to do so but he declined.“Don't bother yourself, Sir. I will be fine,” he said and walked on.At that moment, the doctors were back to the verandah, and they saw them.“What happened?” They asked in astonishment.Michael, who bent his head and was weeping, looked up and saw them. He was scared and ran into the reception and stopped when the doctors did not run.The open-mouthed Dr. Robinson looked at the driver and
