The Return of General Williams 28. The Battle 8
“The meal is fine,” Samuel answered and Tim asked again, “Will the authority permit you to return with your food?” “Not at all,” Gerald answered with emphasis.“It is against the rules. They will permit if someone like Big sister's boss talks to them on our behalf,” Samuel added.“It is all right. Eat your food,” he instructed and they continued. When they were satisfied, they stopped and expressed their delight, “Thank you, Brother-in-law, for the meal.”“You are welcome. Before you go to sleep, you will have some fruit. Did you get me?”“We got you, Brother-in-law,” they answered in unison, and Samuel gave him an askance look. Tim was aware that they had so much to ask him about their sister and he would not leave them guessing.“Why are you looking at me like that, Samuel?” he looked into his eyes and asked.Samuel was bashful because he was caught in the act. All the same, he asked, “Did you beat Big sister?”Tim was calm and his mind ran through the ugly incident of that day w

At Lt. Col. Smirnoff's ApartmentHe was thrilled with the post from the Second in Command and asked himself, “Oh, my God! How did he know that it was my handiwork?”He looked at the post again (Thank you for a good job) and was satisfied with himself.“Does that mean that he was not pleased with the Commandant either?” He thought.Then, his mind went to the cause of his bitterness against the Commandant, Lt. Col. Innocent Faber. He recalled vividly the day he informed him that the former one wished to resign due to health issues and the Head of State wished to replace him without delay.“Oh, my God! Has his health condition deteriorated to this point?” Innocent asked him with genuine concern for the welfare of the Commandant. “Yes. And I think the position is worth applying for."“Really?”“Yes. The position has plenty of benefits.”“Plenty of benefits? Is it better than our present positions?”“Of course. As the Commandant, you have the opportunity to prove yourself because you are

“What does he want me to do? Does he think it is easy to pass the military Aptitude Test? Can any of them have passed the test?” She grumbled and took a step. Suddenly, she saw Pa Suresh's wife and two children coming towards her. The younger child was a boy of nineteen years and Gerald's friend. She smiled happily at them when they got closer. Just like their father, they did not recognize her.“Good morning, Mrs. Suresh. Hi, Ann and Fabian,” she greeted them warmly. When she saw the perplexity on their faces, she asked, “Have you forgotten me? I'm Laura. Pa Dickson's daughter.”Indeed, she had changed from a village farmer to a city girl. Her tan complexion due to constant exposure to the sun, was shining. Her simple dress looked beautiful compared to what she used to put on.“Oh, Laura! How are you?” Mrs. Suresh asked. Before she could answer, Fabian asked her, “Good morning, Laura. How are Gerald and Samuel?”Instantly, the smile on her face vanished and she asked, “Are they not

They laughed softly and told him all that happened in the kitchen and he tapped their shoulders one after the other.“I'm proud of you,” he complimented them. They got to the dining table shortly and began to eat happily as though their family did not exist.At Laura's HouseThe sunglasses covered only her swollen eyes but not her dejected and weak body. After alighting from the taxi, she walked quickly into the house. She answered the guards' greetings perfunctorily with a nod and moved on.“What has been troubling our boss since yesterday?” A guard asked his colleague.“It baffles me too. She has grown lean. Maybe because of the miscarriage,” he remarked.“Or is she missing her late husband?”“I don't think so. It was obvious that she never loved him.”Nevertheless, instead of walking into her house, she walked to her parents' apartment and they were surprised to see her alone. “Where are they,” they asked in astonishment. She sank slowly into the couch and began to cry which baf

At Lt. Col. Smirnoff's ApartmentHe was in a quandary after the chat with the Deputy Head of State. He was sitting in the parlor when his wife, Ruth was discussing freely with him from the kitchen but he was not as responsive as she expected especially when she cracked some jokes. She walked up to him and asked, “What is troubling you, hubby?” At first, he ignored her but when she persisted, he cheered up and lied, “Forgive my absent-mindedness. I was thinking of the victory of Savannah over her enemies.”His wife picked interest in the war and asked, “What about the war?”“Imagine if an enemy attacked our country.”“Oh, my God. I pray it won't happen.”“I pray so, too.”Afterward, his wife returned to the kitchen while he continued watching his television. Then, his phone rang and he was attracted to it. He picked it up from the center table and was disoriented when he saw the caller. Many thoughts flickered through his mind while he only looked at it until it timed out.“He has d

“You will write a 'Thank You' note for him and I will deliver it to him on your behalf.”The idea seemed good and they promised to do that, “We got it, Brother-in-law.”Nevertheless, Samuel who was in the back seat was not satisfied with his proposal. He wondered how a nobody like Tim would see the Head of State and inquired, “Do you mean to deliver it by courier, Brother-in-law?” Tim laughed inwardly and simply replied, “Yes.”He looked at Gerald and asked, “What excuse will you give for returning to school late?”“We will say that we were sick.”“Better. Tell the Commandant that you were sick and the Head of State took you to the hospital and insisted that you must return with your food.”The arrangements were pleasant to them and they agreed. Soon, they were at the school gate. Incidentally, they were not the only ones resuming that morning but the only ones with a funny car. He got out of the car and took his rightful position as the driver to the children of a higher-up.“You c

At The Canterbury Defense AcademyThe Commandant's question was as though he was asking his friends and Gerald began with apologies, “We apologize, Lt. Colonel for not returning to school as we promised.”“Why?” He asked with concern.“We were sick and the Head of State took us to the hospital and insisted that we must return with our food.”The Commandant's eyes widened in astonishment. He looked at them again and asked, “Were you the boys at the Headquarters' gate?”“Yes, Commandant,” Gerald answered shyly. The Commandant was astounded and he looked into their eyes and asked, “How are you?”“We are fine, Commandant.”“I'm delighted to hear that. What are your names?”“My name is Gerald Dickson and my brother's name is Samuel Dickson.”“I see. I'm glad to have you back, Gerald and Samuel.”“Thank you, Commandant,” they responded simultaneously.“It's all right. Run along so that you will not be late for lessons.”“Thank you, Commandant,” they responded gladly and carried their stuff

He got to the gate and asked the gate men to let him in and they did. After he parked his car, he led him to the parlor.“Welcome once again, Your Justiceship. Kindly sit down,” he said and motioned him to a seat“Thank you, General. I must compliment you for the impact you have recorded within a few days in the company,” Justice Vancouver stated. Tim smiled satisfactorily and replied, “I'm humbled Your Justiceship. I wish I could do more."“That is good to hear. Keep up the good work.”“Thank you, for that. I called you because of the divorce between my ex-wife and me.”“Oh! What about it?”“I wish to get my alimony.”“Didn't you collect it that day?”“No, Your Justiceship. I did not collect it because I was overemotional. I was disoriented to know that she opted for a divorce.”“That won't be a big deal. The court will write her to pay you at once,” the Judge stated with levity until Tim informed him of the problem.“There is a problem and I think you should know beforehand.”He gav

To Valentine, Tim may sound boastful but Ambrose knew better. "What do you think, Ambrose? Do we employ another person for that?" Richard asked him."No, Major. I can handle it."He faced Tim, smiled, and undertook, "I got it, Boss. We won't let the Third in Command down.""If you say so.""That is good to hear. Let's see the farmers," Richard said and moved.They followed him at once and walked to the farm. Since the incident of Monday, the farmers had not seen Tim and Richard. They stopped work when they saw them and greeted them accordingly."Good afternoon to you all," they responded simultaneously.Tim stepped aside and Richard addressed them, "Thank you all for your patience."Meanwhile, George, the General Manager, and the team arrived and parked beside the clunker. They got out of the car immediately and George tried to walk to the estate."They are at the farm, Major," one of the security guards informed him after the salutations."Thank you for informing me," he said and mo

At The Complex At lunch, Laura was not back, and Barbara took the initiative. She informed the Corporal of her intentions to be away for lunch and left. She returned at once with her packed food and ate in the cubicle. George and Bright met the General Manager in the elevator and informed him of the arrival of the machines."That is good to hear. I would love to see them. Or what do you think?""I planned to visit there after lunch. We can go together then," he declared.Now, the elevator door opened and they walked out."That is better," the General Manager said and they walked on.Soon, they were at the canteen. They had the meal happily and avoided discussing their proposed visit to the mining field. Their reasons were simple - to avoid luring the other managers from volunteering to come with them. Afterward, they returned to their offices and hoped to leave at 2 PM.Nevertheless, the exhausted Laura returned a few minutes before 2 PM. As for lunch, she was aware that she had miss

At Mount Olive "Kindly get your attorney, Young lady," the officer advised Laura."I was wrong, Officer. I shouldn't have missed my way," she declared, concealing her motive for visiting the palace.The officer pouted, gave her the statement paper, and said, "Write all you could remember about the incident here."Now, she was conscious of her office and afraid that she might be too late to work. She looked at the time and it was a few minutes before 9 AM.'Barbara would be happy to see me punished if I am late to work,' she lamented and began to write her statement quickly."I'm through, Officer," she showed her the statement and announced.She collected it, looked through it, and informed her, "The DPO is in a meeting. I will submit it to him after that."Instantly, she began to fidget and asked her, "Huh! When will that be? I should be in my office."She paid no heed to her question and simply said, "Kindly wait at the reception.""Hey! I'm in trouble," she exclaimed, got up and w

She saw herself walking into the palace and was covered with sweat immediately. The officer was calm and watching the television as well. She switched her look from the television to the officer. When she got to the point, she said, 'I'm in the wrong place,' she looked down and pursed her lips to suppress her nervousness.'Ella must have done this. The Duke does not know my house and could not have gotten my address,' she thought.The officer picked up her form and looked at it. Without any signs of anger, she said, "Your workplace on the form is different from what you said in the footage."'Why can't I get it right? Why can't I get what I want?' she asked herself in low spirits."Did you get my question?" The officer asked her when she failed to answer her."I apologize, officer. We can talk it over," she pleaded, hoping to bribe her.At Tim's House "Just calm down. Everything will be sorted out shortly," Tim advised Richard and they began to wait."Do you mind breakfast?"

At Richard's House "Hello, Boss," he picked up the call and greeted him."How did it go?""She was stained with blood and her face swollen," he explained.Tim was disoriented and asked him immediately, "Was she attacked?""I wouldn't know. She said that she should have known that my mistress and I wished to kill her. I don't know where all these remarks are coming from.""Relax. Okay?" Tim pacified him when he observed from his tone that he was about to break down."Just hang on until morning. I will inform Dale. He would look into the matter. I guess she fell out with her instructors.""I'm worried that she must be starving," he pointed out with concern."You are right. Where is she?""She has locked herself in the room and crying profusely.""Ha! She even needs first aid.""That's is my concern. Oh, my God!""She will be fine. Let's talk in the morning. Okay?""It's okay, Boss. I apologize for bothering you.""Think nothing about it. Good night.""Thank you for your concern. Good n

At Tim's House He was working in the basement when George returned and joined him. "Welcome back," he said after the salutations."Thank you, Boss. Savannah has sent their order.""Yes.""I hope there is no problem.""He said that South Coast wished to attack them through a smaller nation.""Ha! Have they not learned their lessons?""They will do that this time," he responded confidently.They worked until 6 PM and left for their rooms to get some rest before dinner. At The Dining Table Tim discovered that the meal was for three people and was surprised. He called Sheldon at once.

At The Taxi Driver's HouseAfter he was settled, Michael assigned some soldiers to take him to Bournemouth to get his car. He was hearing for the first time that he was once admitted to the hospital. He walked in to appreciate them and was surprised to see Dr. Rochford."Did you come to see someone, Doctor?" He asked him after the greetings."No. This is my hospital. I was at the State House Hospital because of you.""Wow! I can't thank you enough.""You are welcome," he answered him.He gave him his car keys and watched him as he got in. He turned on his ignition and smiled when it could not come up. As a result of not using it for long, it had gathered moisture which led to corrosion. Also, the fuel had degraded.He got out of the car and said, "I will get a technician to look at it. The fuel needs to be siphoned out.""It is expected," Dr. Rochford explained.Afterward, the soldiers took him to his house and his family members were delighted to see him. However, his girlfriend had

At Mount Olive As the old man discussed with Duke Ephraim, he informed the Head of The Duke Council of his proposed wedding, and he was excited. He took over the leadership of the Council three years ago and was neither his friend nor enemy. He was at the installation ceremony but chose to be quiet especially when he was not recognized. Now, he had to be a good leader, and I initiated calling him.The old man frowned his face when his phone rang and he saw the caller. Ella noticed it and focused on him."Excuse me," he said and picked up the call."Hello, Duke Matthew. I am delighted to hear from you," he greeted him with a sad demeanor."Hello, Duke Oliver. How are you?" He inquired with genuine interest."I'm fine. And you?""I am good. I got your message.""That is good. Kindly inform my fellow Dukes.""I see.

At The Complex Laura was not sure if the lady in the broadcast was Stephanie because she was rushing to work when she saw it. Due to her budget, she was without data subscriptions and could not watch it from her phone.Now, she saw the full video and was so disenchanted when she saw Stephanie smiling broadly. Not only that, she was answering her questions with joy. The reporter gave much publicity to her stay as the only woman who dared the cold and time to wait. "So, this is how they get husbands. They start by being nice. No wonder Ella became a Duchess immediately after the Duke was installed," she told herself and continued watching.To buttress her point, Bright's interview was not boosted like Stephanie's. Nevertheless, the security guards were enthralled."She stole the show," one of them announced and they laughed.The laughter provoked Laura and she resolved to be proactive and get her a husband for herself."Maj.
