The Return of General Williams 39. Failed Reunion
Ben was pondering over what the doctor said when the door opened. To his disturbance, the three people he was afraid to see walked in and he was in a muddle. Despite his condition, he tried to get up and give his salute but they stopped him.“Hold it,” the Head of State ordered.“Wait,” the doctor advised and he lay back on the bed. He switched his look from one person to the other. When his eyes met with the Commandant's own, he looked away.“How are you, Ben?”He looked at the Head of State and answered coldly, “I'm fine, Your Excellency.”“That's good to hear. The Commandant informed us that you were ill.”“Yes, Your Excellency,” he responded without looking at the Commandant. They waited for him to appreciate the Commandant for the gesture but he did not. Neither did he look at the Second in Command's direction. After a few minutes of silence, His Excellency announced, “Now that you are stable, we shall be on our way.”He smiled bitterly and responded, “Thank you, Your Excellency

At Tim's HouseGeorge returned and met him waiting for him like a young wife waiting for her husband's return. “Good evening, Boss,” he greeted him when he got into the parlor.“Good evening, George. Welcome back.”“Thank you, Boss,” he answered and removed his cap before he sat down.Tim searched his eyes for any form of distress. When he found none, he asked with concern, “How is work?” “Work is fine, Boss. The managers are likely to get buyers to buy the cars off instead of waiting for an auction sale,” he explained.“That would be great. How soon will they do that?”“I will see what happens tomorrow.”“It is all right. What about the Production Department? Have they begun the production of the arms?”George smiled broadly and answered, “Yes, Boss. I worked with them and I learned a lot.”“That is good to hear. You can see that it's necessary to know of it.”“Yes, Boss. I will learn more when we begin production at the basement.”Tim smiled softly and informed him, “I have exhau

Her mind went to the bus and the comments from her colleagues (The newspaper publication is not necessary because the evidence of divorce is here. Can't you see that after the divorce, Mr. Williams collected all his vehicles from her and she had to join the bus?) (But Mr. Williams is dead.)(We are saying the same thing. His absence is the cause of her joining the bus.)“So, they thought that Tim was responsible for the cars?”“That's weird. He doesn't even own a garden cart and can't even drive a car,” she concluded. Not long, she drifted off.In The Morning“I will be on my way. Have a wonderful day, Mom and Dad,” she said after their breakfast.“Okay, dear. Kindly run along,” her mother said.“Have a great day too,” her father added and she left.She got to the estate gate and met the other staff members waiting for the bus and she greeted them cheerfully.“Good morning everyone.”“Good morning, Laura,” they responded and continued waiting.Part of the thing that made her head s

Meanwhile, his phone rang again and he ignored it. The Commandant cannot vouch that Ben did not have devilish intentions in the social media post and instructed him, “Apart from the aid, no visitor should speak with them.” “I wonder which relation would wish to speak with a student at this time of the day.”“You see what I mean. She is not even related to them."“You are right, Commandant. Otherwise, she would have known the right time to speak with them.”"That is it. It is just a ploy to get them and discredit the school.”“You agree with you,” the Housemaster said, and instantly blocked the number and left.At The Auxiliary Armory PLCLaura could not believe what she heard.“How can he say that I called the wrong number after announcing the name of the school?” She murmured.After a while, she looked at her phone and called the number again. She gazed intently at it while waiting for the call to connect. To her heartbreak, she discovered that she had been blocked.“He blocked my

At The Auxiliary Armory PLC - The President's Office It was Laura who walked in and she looked upset. Notwithstanding, George was surprised to see her but annoyed with her for barging into his office. He quickly restrained himself from tongue-lashing her and asked, “What brings you here, Miss Dickson?”“I need your help, Sgt. Young,” she said, trying hard to be friendly.“What kind of help do you need from me?” he grimaced his face and asked.“I tried to call my brothers' school this morning, but I was told that I had the wrong number. When I called back, I found out that my number had been blocked,” she explained. George was upset and concluded that she was below-average intelligence. “Do you require help from me, or you have come to tell me stories? Go straight to the point and stop beating about,” he advised her.“I apologize, Sgt Young. I mean, I wish to visit my brothers' school if you permit me. I will be back before you know it.”Without hesitation, he made it clear to her,

They posed for photographs afterward. Meanwhile, George shared the photographs with Tim. The pressmen will always appear like bees wherever there is honey. At that point, Laura was a history and the accomplishment of the new General and President took over the airwaves. Nevertheless, George granted an interview to the pressmen on behalf of the absent President. Likewise, an over-inquisitive reporter inquired, “What happens to your old cars?”Without second thoughts, he declared, “We intend to auction them to the public.”“Wow! That is a good idea. Permit me to ask, when will the auction take place?”“Coming Saturday morning.”“That is good to hear. Thank you so much for giving me attention.”“You are welcome.”At Tim's House After he spoke with the lawyer, he promised to be with him in a while. As a janitorial staff, he put on a simple wear and walked to the gate. “Good morning, Boss,” the gate men greeted him, respectfully. He answered their greetings and sat with them in the ga

At Tim's House After they concluded with the letter, he appreciated him again.“Thank you for everything, barrister. I can't wait to get the support.”“You are welcome. We are taking them one after the other. Apart from the support, she will compensate you for beating you up and aborting your baby.”“Wow! That is good, barrister.”“It is all right. You can go back to work, lest your manager gets offended by your absence.”“Okay. Goodbye, barrister.”“Goodbye, dear.” Tim got out of the vehicle and watched him drive away before he walked into his house. He was engrossed in his discussion with his lawyer when many things took place in the office. Now, he lay on his bed and pondered on many things. The news on the television jolted him up and he focused on it.The pressmen were good at blowing things out of proportion but that exaggerated headline favored Tim and everyone that day.(Gen. Tim Williams the President of the Auxiliary Armory PLC has transformed the organization in absenti

At The Car ParkCapt. Bruce was glad that he settled the issue of the new and old buses among the drivers and no one would accuse him of favoring or cheating anyone.“I hope you are happy now?” He asked the oldest driver, who luckily picked a new car from the lucky dip. “Yes, Captain. Whether the new wine will be in an old wine skin, I don't care anymore,” the happy driver responded and they laughed merrily.Soon, it was closing time and the staff members were rushing to secure a seat in the new buses. As Capt. Bruce carefully planned it. Each route had two buses - a new and an old one. The early birds were lucky to get the new buses.“Wow! We are the first to ride on it,” a female staff member stated enthusiastically.“You are right. It feels good,” the others commented simultaneously.Nevertheless, Laura had composed herself after the barrister who came to disturb her over a dead rat, left. She believed that she should be given preferential treatment because of her position as the

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

Likewise, he sent a message to Richard and informed him that they arrived safely. He pleaded for an off on Monday. Afterward, he began to wait for his response.He had been busy since he disembarked and had not gone online. Now that he had settled in his hotel room, he could do that. He was shocked to see their story and pictures trending.He furrowed his forehead and asked himself, “Who is doing this?”Presently, he was panting and sweating despite the January cold. He sat up from the bed and read the details of the story quickly. To his delight, the post was not harmful and his details were not explicit.He tossed his phone aside and breathed in and out before lying back on the bed.“What will she do if she finds out about my past?” He asked himself.“What about her parents and brother? They are too morally upright to accept me as their son-in-law,” he lamented.The fear that he would lose her gripped him at once and he began to cry like a baby. At that point, he could not think of

At Tim's House Although he lay on his bed to take a rest, he could not. The thought of Valentine and Ann gave him concern. When he was about to get over it, he remembered Stephanie and smiled.“How will I propose to her? Will I take her to the airport or railway station? What if she pushes me down and says, 'a driver like you is not my class'? That would be disastrous,” he concluded and picked up his phone.He was surprised to see that he got many social media notifications and decided to browse through them before checking his emails. He furrowed his brow when he saw the incident at the airport. “Huh! These bloggers will put someone into trouble,” he said after reading the caption - Valentine Proposed Marriage to Ann.He was unaware that the bloggers did not know anything about the new couple apart from their first names and the marriage proposal. He read through the post and was a bit relieved.“The story is not inditing,” he said and began to go through his email.“I hope they wo

“Which course will you study at the university, Ann?” Samuel asked her.“Cooking,” Gerald answered on her behalf with a silly smirk.They laughed aloud and Fabian added, “She will study Cure Meat.”Now, she laughed more than everyone and was a bit stable.In the operation vehicle, there was nothing to talk about. Even if there was, Valentine would not have been interested. He was not happy because that was not what he planned. They drove silently until they arrived at the airport. Tim parked and he parked beside him. Everyone got out of the cars and he rested his head on the seat.He looked at Ann who was laughing happily with the boys as they carried his luggage out of the car. Afterward, they walked to the lounge with Richard.“So, I have lost her to another man?” He lamented.Now, they have about forty-five minutes more. He thought for a while and asked himself, “What do I do with my flight ticket and the engagement ring?” He asked dispirited and unfastened his seatbelt.Furthermo

He stopped chewing his food and faced her. When he saw her gloomy face, he dropped his cutleries and asked her, “You said what?”“He is still angry with us.”“You are not accurate in your judgment, Ann. He is not angry with us.”“How do you know?”“I promised that I would get to the root of it,” he pointed out and resumed eating his food.Ann was calm and pondered on what he said. Shortly, Fabian and Mrs. Suresh, who were through with serving the staff, joined them. Fabian noticed her gloominess and showed concern.“What is the matter, Big sister?” he asked and focused on her.Instead of answering, she was mute, and her father explained, “She still believed that the Supervisor was angry with us.”“That reminds me, Hubby. You promised to get to the root of the matter. What did you discover?”“She has been accusing him wrongly. He had been on her matter by informing the Major of her departure on our behalf and they promised to take her to the airport.”“Wow! That is thoughtful of him,” h
