The Return of General Williams 115. Regret 5
“You are welcome, Captain. I would have felt bad if it had been sold,” Mr. Watson responded and handed the car keys to him.“Wow!” He exclaimed and collected the keys.He turned around and saw the euphoric Bright and said, “Take your keys. Move it to the car park.”He collected the keys happily and showed his appreciation, “Thank you so much for this, Captain.”“Ha, my car!” Laura could not hide her disappointment and exclaimed aloud.Barbara looked away from Bright and looked at her but could not comprehend her exclamation. Quickly, she ignored her and faced the vestibule. Now, Bright had gotten behind the wheel and turned on the ignition.“Park at the right place, or you will do a frog jump if you park at a Captain's parking lot,” Capt. Graham teased and they laughed loudly at his joke.Barbara did not know what Laura knew about the car and laughed too. Likewise, Bright drove off and the Accountant walked back to the elevator with his guest.Nevertheless, Bright was preoccupied with

Meanwhile, Mark was wondering why the President and the Major were quiet and allowed only the driver to speak.“Sure, we can,” he answered all the same and looked at the bulldozers.He pulled off his jacket and dropped it inside Jerry's car. Max did the same and they got into the truck. George pulled out his jacket and hung it on one of the seats on the bus. Presently, he was left with his camouflage T-shirt.“You can have your lunch before we return,” Tim faced Collins and instructed.“We will wait for you, Boss,” he declared and Tim agreed with him.Without any waste of time, they got into the truck.“Good morning, General,” the driver faced George and greeted.Likewise, after his response, he faced the others and gave a general greeting, “Good morning, all.”They answered him one after the other. His assistant greeted too and he moved. Apart from Mark and Max who were writing, the rest although armed were on a sightseeing. The bulldozer was clearing and grading the push and it slow

At that point, some elders of the community walked up to Richard and inquired, “Good afternoon officer. How may we help you?”“How may I help you?” He asked them with a stoic face.The crestfallen elders looked at each other and one of them apologized, “Pardon our offense. We wished to know why you are here?”“I wish to know why are you here. Is this your house?” Richard asked and the other hostile guards focused on them.“No, Officer. It's our brother's house,” he answered.“Let your brother come and ask us what we are doing in his house.”“He can't come,” another elder said.“Why? Is the house not his?”“It is his house but he can't come,” another elder answered. “Why can't he come? Where is he?” Waa! Waa!!They were attracted by the sound of the fallen walls and they tried to force their way in.“He is sick and in the building. We need to rescue him,” the first man said and moved.“Don't move further,” Richard thundered and they halted.Meanwhile, Tim and George were standing a

Capt. Bruce saluted Richard and the others saluted him before he left without regard for Tim.“How will you leave, Max?” George asked with concern.“I can find my way, General.”“I can give him a ride,” Mark volunteered.“Thank you for that, Engr. Robbie. I will take you to your office when you come in the morning.”“It is all right, President,” he said and greeted the Major, “Good night, Major,” while he waved at Tim and the rest. “Good night, Engr. Robbie,” Richard responded.Now, Richard and Frank were beside the station wagon while Collins and George were walking towards his car.“Collins,” Tim called out.The two stopped in their tracks and he answered, “Yes Boss.”“You will drive the station wagon home,” he informed him and waited for his reaction.George squeezed his face as though Tim fouled the air. Collins thought fast on how to refute the order politely. Now all eyes were on him and they waited for his response.“I would have loved to, Boss but I have not read the manual.”

Tim gave George a mocking look and stated, "Someone suddenly began to miss both of you and we decided to come."George smiled shyly and Samuel declared, "We miss you too.""Yes. We have been homesick since the last time we spoke. How is work?""Work is fine, Gerald. How are your studies?" "Our studies are fine.

At The Secretary's Office“This is good,” he said and took his seat.He watched the video again and wrote his note.(This is to notify all staff members that no form of indiscipline will be tolerated in the organization. Anyone found wanting would be decisively dealt with. Signed: Management).He smiled cynically and shared the video. At The Front DeskBarbara was relaxing with her phone while waiting for the visitors who usually gain access into the complex at 10 AM when messages popped up. She quickly tapped on the first message and saw the General Manager's notification that Laura was no more the President's secretary and introduced Bright as the secretary.“Good riddance to bad rubbish,” she thought and glared at Laura.Afterward, she tapped on the second message which was a video and began to watch it. After watching it, she shook her head negatively and looked at Laura again. Meanwhile, she was sad and reading the email from Barr. Gibson and did not notice that she got messages

At The President's OfficeShortly after he walked into his office, Brig. Dale walked in. He stood up immediately and saluted him, “Good morning, Brig. Dale.”He returned the salute happily and they sat down.“The President said he needs the photographs and videos of today's lesson since it is our last day.”“That's good to hear. I need it too.”“It is okay by me. I will get my secretary to do that right away.”Instantly, he called on Bright and he arrived. He was about to give his phone to him when he got a message from Tim. He paused and read through it.(I am at the mall. Do you want me to get a phone for your Dad or will you do that after work? I promise I won't buy a clunker.)George smiled quietly at his promise and replied.(Thank you, for this, Boss. He won't even mind the clunker.)(Okay.)Afterward, he handed his phone to Bright and instructed him on how to use it and get high-quality video and photographs.“I got it, Boss,” he responded with glee and began.He took differen

Dale walked him to his car. After the salute, he watched him get in. He waved at him and said, “See you tomorrow.”“See you tomorrow, Boss,” he responded and drove away.“Nice man,” he mumbled and returned to his office.That morning, as early as 8 AM, he summoned the staff members and cadets at the Assembly Hall for his valedictory and they gathered with long faces. He smiled at them in his usual nature and began to address them. He hardly spoke for five minutes when the students began to cry and he was scared.'The Head of State will assume that I instigated them to do this' he said to himself and pleaded with them, “If you love me, don't cry. We don't have a permanent office.”Nevertheless, his plea fell on deaf ears and they cried out the more. He looked at the staff members and hoped that they would assist in placating them but they were downcast as well.“Stop crying. We are still together in Canterbury,” he continued to plead.At that point, his well-prepared speech was useles

At The Mining Field Valentine and Fabian returned from Birmingham the previous night after ensuring that Ann had settled down. They were at work when Richard arrived and they welcomed him warmly. After the greetings, he informed Fabian that he would perform at the event and he was excited.“Thank you, Major, for finding me worthy to be at the occasion.”“You are welcome. Kindly give me your stage photograph and name,” he requested and he did.“Thank you, so much for accepting the invitation despite the short notice.”“It is my pleasure, Major. I haven't been to Mount Olive before. How do I find my way?”“The supervisor will bring you. You will arrive incognito so that the youths will not overcrowd the event.”“I got it, Major.”“Good. Kindly share your bill and payment details with me,” Richard requested.Valentine who was smiling happily all the while said, “I'm happy for you, Fabian.”“Thank you, Supervisor,” he said and faced Richard, “I appreciate the gesture, Major. I will do th

The General Manager believed him and said, “The manual is there. You should have read through it.”“I did. But I had a problem along the line.”“I see.”He stood up immediately and appreciated him, “I'm grateful,” he said and returned to the Secretary's office.To avoid exposing himself, he brought out his phone and the manual. Then, he looked at the clerk and requested, “Kindly put me through on how to use the phone.”He smiled and walked to him. He sat beside him and began to teach him. As a good student, he learned faster, and appreciated him afterward, “Thank you for your assistance.”“It is my pleasure,” he responded and returned to his seat.Then, Tim got up, looked at Stephanie, and said in a low tone, “It's remaining one a half day.” She smiled softly and he walked away. Meanwhile, the edited jingle of the ceremony was on air. The posting of news was not as domineering as it was the previous day.At Mount Olive The edited jingle left much to be desired. Instead of including

“Huh!” He exclaimed and laughed euphorically.Tim was infested and laughed as well.“How can I invite them?” He asked him.“Are they not your friends? Let me have the names of the friends you wished to invite.”“It is all right,” he said and gave him the names of eight Dukes and he walked away.He got to his room and contacted the fake Duke and asked him to invite them.“Sir, we have invited them but they declined the invitation,” he answered.Tim was surprised and asked him, “Why? Did they give any reason?”“Not at all. They arrogantly turned the invitation down.”“It is all right,” he said and ended the call.At Lt. Col. Ben Smirnoff's Office He has been as happy as a lark and dancing with all his might since the breaking news.“They are no longer searching for the poster of the scandalous post. Maybe they searched and could not get me," he said to himself and continued dancing. Unfortunately, he had no friends to share his joy with nor did anyone call to rejoice with him. Not bec

Tim walked into George's office and they locked eyes. He noticed that he was sad and inquired, “What's up, Boss?”“I don't know how the boys would cope with a new Commandant,” he sat down and responded.“You just said my mind. You should have advised the Second in Command.”“The Head of State distorted his work after he submitted the list to him.”“Ha! He must have his reasons.”“What could be his reason? That was the man responsible for the scandal against him,” Tim blurted out.George was bewildered and he locked eyes with him. After a while, he spoke, “Maybe he wished to disgrace him by sending him to where he cannot function well.”Tim looked at him for a while before he said, “You may be right. I have not thought of that. But he should not joke with the children's studies.”“Let's watch out.”Tim wanted to speak but the door opened and he halted. George smiled when he saw the visitor. Tim turned and saw the General Manager. He got up at once and greeted him, “Good morning, Maj.

Kay did not want to argue further with him and concurred, “It is good, Your Excellency” “Good. Publish the postings and the take-off date and time at once.”“I will do that, Your Excellency.”“It is all right. You can leave.”“It is all right, Your Excellency,” they appreciated him simultaneously and walked away. At The Second in Command's OfficeThey got to Kay's office and he asked Tim, “What kind of posting is this?”“Huh! Can Ben manage the school?”“It baffles me. I thought he would punish him because of that scandalous post against the school and the government,” Kay stated.“I thought so as well. Does it mean that he is compensating him for working against his government?”Kay walked to his swivel chair and sat down while Tim sat on the visitor's seat and waited for his response.“That is the challenge. He will assume that his act was not discovered.”Tim noticed that he was angry and pacified him, “Don't let it bother you. Just publish the postings.”“Thank you for your conce

At The President's Office Bright and Gilbert have observed that George laughed exceptionally aloud whenever Tim was with him and that day was no different. He walked in after he left the General Manager's office. Nevertheless, George had been curious to hear the outcome of his visit.He looked at his hand and grimaced his face, “What did he give to you?” He asked him anxiously.“I have not checked it,” he answered and sat down.He brought the gift out of the shopping bag and a smile beamed across his face, “It is a handset,” he announced happily.“Wow! What did you do for him to attract this? I mean what attempted deceit did you foil during the Widow and Widowers Empowerment Program?”Tim laughed and narrated the story. George laughed aloud and pointed out, “Oh! They don't value you but wish to enrich themselves through you.”“Just imagine that but he regretted it. Seeing a supposed ghost will disturb him any time he remembers it.”“You are right. Congratulations on your New Year gif

Tim shook his head and asked her, “What is remaining? Just make it five times a week.”“No. I'm not selfish. Four and a half are all right by me.”“Not selfish indeed. If I do, what will I tell your boss is my reason for frequenting his office?”Now, the die was cast and she looked forlorn. They locked eyes for a while and saw the burning desire they had for each other in their eyes. Tim looked away and his eyes fell on her phone.“Your phone is fine,” he complimented her.She smiled happily and said, “Thank you for the compliment. It was my birthday gift.”“Wow! That birthday cake was one in town and now this.”“I was shocked as well. Even the former President's wife had not celebrated her birthday with such size of cake,” she explained.“I see. What is the brand of the phone? Let me take a look.”She innocently gave him her phone and he pretended to be studying it. He kept her busy with compliments while connecting her phone to his. When he was done, he teased her by asking, “Can w

At The Complex Soon, he was in the complex. He got out of the car and Richard drove off at once.Tim walked into the lobby, greeted his men with his head, and walked to the elevator. He pressed the button of the last floor and waited. When it opened, he walked in.The unfriendly-looking security team answered his greetings and let him in. He walked in and greeted Bright and Gilbert accordingly before walking into George's office.He was happy to see him and asked him immediately, “How did it go?”“It went well. They have started planning how to visit the house.”“Huh! So early?”“It baffles me too. Samuel reminded me of the Waitangi Day holiday.”George laughed aloud and Tim was infested.Nevertheless, Major Bolton came around earlier to have a private meeting with George before the Weekly Meeting. He heard them laughing and wondered if another manager was there. He opened the door and walked in and was surprised at their familiarity. “Good morning, Major,” Tim got up from the visit
