The Return of General Williams 302. The Resumption 17
“The Cadets are right.”“Yes. It is wrong to change the Commandant in the middle of a session.”“The Head of State should do something about the posting.”“The Head of State should listen to the cadets.”“It is their fundamental right to speak out.”George was alone in the office but was not comfortable. The cameramen wished to show how serious the students were and decided to capture the weeping ones. Samuel happened to be one of them. They thought that he was crying because he did not like the posting and that made a good headline.Nevertheless, George could not withstand the sight. He jumped out of his chair immediately and in a jiffy, he was at the lobby. Unlike Tim who would wait for the Head of State's approval before he moved. He walked out of the lobby at once and his team members followed him.The moment they left the complex, Jerry turned on his siren and they continued until they arrived at the academy. They were not deterred by the sea of people, especially the pressmen. W

“Congratulations, Hubby. I propose that you take a rest," his wife said. He smiled softly and watched her as she opened the car for him. He got in and rested his head on the car seat while she joined the truck driver and they began to return their properties to the house.On The Airwaves The Head of State's visit took the center stage. His counterparts who were interested in his verdict were happy while some who thought that he would fail by sticking to his words were not happy. The parents and civilians were happy with him as well.Meanwhile, the most beneficial of the protests was Erick's father. He had advised him to be friendly with Gerald and do whatever he did. Now, he had gotten close to the Head of State earlier than he could imagine. He downloaded the pictures of his son and His Excellencies from the internet and made one of them his display picture.At The Complex Laura must think differently. When she saw George holding Samuel, she cursed them, “Idiots. Is he the only ca

At Tim's House Collins returned afterward with one of the buses and they put in their things. The old man was thrilled to return to his house after many months. 'I can't believe that I will return and not meet Cecilia in the house,' he thought euphorically.“Is everything in the bus?” Tim asked them.“Yes,” they answered one after the other.“It's okay,” Tim said and they got into the car.Collins turned on his ignition and Jerry did the same thing. Now, it was time to leave. The janitor was disturbed when he noticed that the old man moved all his things out of his room. He walked to the window and asked with an emotional voice, “When are you coming back, Old man?”Tim did not want such distractions at all and he answered him dismissively, “Very soon.”The janitor put his emotions in check and Collins moved. However, the old man was touched and wondered how he would live at Mount Olive alone.'I have no choice. I must stay there and monitor the rebuilding of the house,' he assured

Nevertheless, his presence reawakened the compensation saga. The elders who had been peeping out from their houses to know what would befall the Duke were happy to see him. They crawled out of their hideouts to meet him but the agile soldiers would not allow them.Richard was right when he said his wife likes celebrations. They got to the civic center and she was attracted to the work. “Wow! I can be of help,” she volunteered.The event planner was pleased and obliged, “I will be most grateful.”Richard smiled inwardly and took a seat while she became busy. The event planner had never had it so good before because she was a fast learner and very creative.While he was resting, he turned on his device to catch up with the latest news. His eyes widened in astonishment as though they would fall out of their sockets when he saw Gerald.“What is going on?” He asked himself and looked at the speaker again.“How can he suddenly turn against the man who allowed him to work for him?” He wonde

The Duke's wife was not happy with her silence and felt slighted. She glared at her and Richard noticed it. To ascertain whether she meant to look down upon her or not, she repeated her order.“You must give me a seamless job. Is that clear to you?”Now, her eyes were on Empress but she was too occupied to notice her. Besides, she felt that she was not part of the team, and responding to such instructions could be misinterpreted by the event planner. Those whom the gods wish to destroy, they first make mad (Proverb).Many workers answered her respectfully,y which should have sufficed,d but she wished to get more from the only person who would land her in big trouble.Now, she walked closer to her, faced her, and pointed out, “Hey! Are you deaf? I'm talking to you.”The petite-looking Empress was as feeble as her looks. She was scared to hear her voice and the hateful look in her eyes was scarring. She quickly took a step towards her husband and she went after her.“How dare you walk

At The AcademyThe distraught Commandant was still resting in his car when his phone rang. He had ignored many calls but the Head of State's ringing tone was unique. Despite the reversal of the posting, his heart skipped a beat when he heard it and jolted.“Oh, my God!” He exclaimed.All the same, he comported himself and picked up the call, “Good afternoon, Your Excellency,” he greeted him.“Good afternoon, Innocent. I would appreciate it if you would join us at the table tennis court today. Is it convenient for you?”'He is so unpredictable,' he thought before he responded, “It is convenient for me, Your Excellency.”“It is all right. I will be happy if your wife can come with you.”“It is okay. I will come with her. Thank you for inviting us.”“You are welcome. See you later,” he said and cut the call.“Huh! Was I fretting for nothing?” He asked himself and got out of the car.He shut the door with the comportment of a Colonel and walked into his house.“Ha!” His wife exclaimed whe

At The Palace After George and Tim calmed the old man down, he stood aside and watched Jerry and Collins as they removed their things from the bus. When they attempted to take them to the parlor, he stopped them.“Don't over labor yourselves. We will soon go to the hotel with them,” he advised them.The confused Sergeants stopped in their tracks and Tim looked at George. He understood the look and decided to break the news to him.“Kindly come with me, Dad. I want to show you something,” he requested.He looked at him worriedly but complied. They hardly took a step when Francis appeared and welcomed them one after the other.The old man was confused. He looked at him and asked, “What are you doing here, Francis?”Instead of responding, he looked into his eyes and smiled. George moved and he followed him.“What is he doing here, Son?” He asked desperately as they walked on.“We will soon find out,” he answered him and climbed the staircase.He followed him quietly until they got to th

At The Table Tennis Court The Second in Command was not just obedient to the Head of State. He was a good person who would ensure that the right things were done. When he got the Head of State's invitation to come with his wife, he concluded that he wished to unwind after a hectic day.“I have not played table tennis for long,” his wife complained.“That won't be a problem. We can bench you from the onset, and you will be watching us,” he teased her, and she revolted.“Who will you bench? Me? Never.”Kay laughed and advised her, “Then sit up.”“I will,” she took his advice and dressed up.They arrived and met Dale, the Commandant, and their wives. After the salutations, Kay observed that the three women were putting on a tank top paired with a skirt and asked them, “Did you plan to dress like this?” The women laughed lavishly and answered one after the other.“No, we didn't, Your Excellency,” Dale's wife answered him.“It was a coincidence, Your Excellency,” the Commandant's wife

At The Complex Laura got up and walked to the door like a bulldog. The Corporal and warden gave way for her or she would have pounced on them. With that, she increased her offenses, and Jerry cashed in and whipped her legs with the horsewhip."Repeat after me, Miss Dickson. Say I will not disturb the peace of the complex again," he requested while flogging her."I will never disturb .... Hey!" She stopped and shrieked in pain.Jerry continued to flog her, and she continued to cry and repeat after him."Run for your life before I kill you. Silly girl," he shouted at her and she obeyed. George was happy to see her running out of the cell like a little mouse frightened out of the Queen's chair.She continued running towards the reception when Jerry joined George in the car and he turned on his ignition."Good job, Sergeant," he said and drove off.Nevertheless, she got to the lobby, and the new security team was surprised to see her running like a thief."What! What are you doing here?

He would have called Cpl. Simpson, who was on night duty, to release her, but it would not give him the satisfaction he wanted. Shortly after, he stormed out of his room, got the car keys from the hangar, and walked to the garage. His car alerted Collins and Jerry the moment he turned on his ignition. They walked out of the boys quarters and focused on him."We are going to the complex. Hop in if you are ready," he informed them.They were troubled and did not want to keep him longer than necessary. Jerry was on his khaki pants and camouflage shirt. Collins was putting on the same shirts upon knickers and was not comfortable with it."I will change to trousers," he said and walked away.Jerry got into the front seat, looked at George's sad face, and inquired, "I hope there's no problem?""The boss said we should release that wrench in the guard room.""Ha! You can ask the Corporal to release her," he advised him."I would have done that not until I lay my hands on her, and she would r

He furrowed his brow when he saw her in the kitchen preparing her dinner."Why doesn't she live in a big house and have security guards and a cook like Laura? At least a cook," he thought."Something should be done about it," he concluded.After he left the parlor, George sat on the couch to wait for him. At that point, he got a message from his father. He relaxed and punched on it. A wide smile covered his face while he was reading through it."She will never stay without trouble," he said when he read that Laura was arrested that morning.In the end, he said, "She would soon be working to finance bills that she incurred out of stupidity."At that point, Tim joined him and they walked to the dining table."How was your meeting with the Major General?" "It went well. Empress has grown lean," he pointed out and George was lost."What has Empress got to do with your meeting?" He asked him at once."Oh! I didn't inform you. The meeting was because of them. She fought with her instructor

To extricate herself, she answered at once, "No, Sir.""Then what happened? Don't keep me here longer than I wish," Dale thundered, and she was fear-stricken. "I apologize, Boss. I agreed with her and watched her walk to her husband. When she was sitting with him in the car, I called Mrs Bentley and showed her the two. She was surprised to see them discussing freely. When she returned, Mrs. Bentley did not bother to verify whether it was true or false."She stopped and looked at Richard who had killing intentions on his face. Tim was relishing the story and hated it when she stopped. He hit his hand on the table angrily and shouted at her, "Then what happened?"Although, they were not familiar with Tim's identity they believed that he was an important person to Dale.Instantly, she continued, "She gave her a knife hand strike. Before she could defend herself, she struck her with her shinbone and they began to fight."They focused on Empress who was still looking down. They compared

"I hope she is all right," he said and was restless.Before Tim walked to the foyer, he remembered Dale's summons to Richard's wife. He looked at his time and mumbled, "I would like to be there."He walked to his room and before he settled down, he heard a knock on the door."Come in, the door is not locked," he said, and George walked in with his stoic face."What is the matter. You scared the farmers away with your look," he made clear to him.He smiled weakly and asked him, "Did I? Miss Dickson attacked her colleague and injured her."Tim furrowed and dismissed him, "I have a meeting with Dale. We will talk about it when I return.""I got it, Boss," he said and returned to his room.Tim lay on the bed, breathed heavily, and asked himself, "What is wrong with this girl? Sacking her would not favor me otherwise, I would have done that."He thought for a while and resolved, "I know what to do?"Likewise, he rested for a while and got up. At that time, he heard Richard's car and tried

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?"
