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.

    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.

    His question gave the barrister some sense of accomplishment and he boasted, “Of course. There is no organization that I can not access in Canterbury. I walked into her office and served her the petition.”“That is powerful of you. Did she comply?”“Certainly. She has no choice.”“Oh, that is so awesome.”“Yes. The payment is in my account. I can transfer it to your account if you have any."“Yes. I have.” "It is all right. Provide me with the details.”“It's all right. I will give you my details right away.”He supplied his account that his grandfather opened for him when he was a cadet. In a jiffy, he got a credit alert. “Wow!” He exclaimed and called the barrister back to confirm the payment.“I got the credit alert, barrister,” he informed him after he picked up the call.“That is good to hear.”“I observed that you did not deduct your service charges. Why?”The barrister laughed and declined, “Never mind. It is part of my contribution to the society.”“Thank you for your kindn

    At The Canterbury Defense Academy Nevertheless, after Gerald and Samuel spoke with Tim the previous day, as though they had an agreement, they saw their father's call and ignored it. They had the same opinion about their family - they were in the wrong place. When they remembered the last words of their father - 'I would rather get justice for my dog than for a wife beater', they concluded that they were selfish and apathetic and were not proud to be the children of such parents. Their anger increased when they discovered that their sister framed him and they thought that their parents were part of the plot.“Why is he calling me? Heartless man. Go and get justice for your dog instead of a human being,” Gerald sneered.They turned off their phones and submitted them to their Housemasters.Meanwhile, Before Laura left for work that morning, her father had left the house to search for his children. Although he had a sleepless night his discovery had put him on his toes. “Here we are,

    At The Auxiliary Armory PLCGeorge was in his office and monitoring the premises. As for the arrival of the staff members, he did not have much to worry about anymore. When he was certain that the buses had arrived, he began to watch the AM News.“What is our offense? Is it an offense to do business with their enemies?” He asked himself when he heard the hostile comments of the South Coastians and continued watching.“This could lead to a fight,” he concluded and brought out his gun from the drawer.“One has to be prepared for anything,” he told himself and concentrated on his gun.At 9 AM, he decided to visit the Production Department for more knowledge. He got up and tried to turn off the television. To his astonishment, he saw Laura's interview and halted.He began to fume when she introduced herself as the Representative of the President and kept watching. The time she said that everything would fall into place when the President resumed was the straw that broke the camel's back.

    “Oh! I apologize if it had caused you any embarrassment.”“Never mind. You are not at fault. Kindly correct the misleading information. The auction sales will take place this coming Saturday at ten zero, zero hours in the complex.” “I got it. I will correct that at once.”“It all right.”Capt. Trenton cut the call and searched George's face. He was happy that he was satisfied.“That is a good one. We will have a free advert for the event,” George said, and the others laughed.They were still laughing when the Head of the Media Department got a call and they halted. He looked at the caller and smiled before he picked up the call.“Hello, MD,” he greeted.“Before I forget, is there any contact person for the public to contact concerning the auction sales?”The Head of Media looked at the General Manager for his approval and he advised, “Give him my secretary's details.”“Yes, MD. I will forward the details to you right away.”“That would be fine. Kindly give the pictures of the cars to

    At The Canteen George spent the whole of the morning in the Production Department and monitored the television broadcasts. Meanwhile, he was happy with himself and could imagine how Laura was standing in the empty office. “Can you imagine the guts? (Yes. It has everything to do with the present administration. I am hopeful that everything will fall into shape when the President resumes.) She is indirectly saying that I don't know what I am doing. Stupid girl,” he cursed and walked to the canteen. Presently, Stephanie was not finding it easy. The callers were not mindful of the time - whether she was on break or not. They called at their convenience and in most cases, her line would be busy. She walked into the canteen and observed that all eyes were on her. Before she could process the reason for that, her phone rang again and she picked up the call.“Hello. This is the Auxiliary Armory PLC. How may I help you?”“Hello, Miss Benjamin. I got your contact from the television.”“That

    Howbeit, she left it unlocked and walked away. She got to the elevator and joined the other staff members in the queue. After she got in, she pressed the fifth button and everyone wondered. “Have you not closed from work today, Laura?” A concerned staff member asked her.“I have. Why do you ask?”“I can see that you are not going home yet.”“I am going home,” she smiled softly and responded while concentrating on the lift. It stopped when they got to the fifth floor and the door opened. She walked out quickly and headed to Stephanie's office. Unfortunately, she had left the office.“Idiot. She must be at the car park,” she told herself and rushed back to the elevator.To her annoyance, she had to wait for the two lifts that had taken the passengers to the lobby to return.“Shit! I can't wait,” She exclaimed and resolved to use the staircase.“What is she doing here?” The other staff members asked each other. She hardly left when the lift opened and they got to the first floor befo

    At that point, Tim adjusted and fixed his eyes intently on his device.“Welcome back, my dear,” her mother greeted her weakly. Instead of answering, she looked at her father's hopeless face and asked, “What happened to my brothers? Please don't tell me that they are dead?”“I wish I would not say so. Your brothers are not in school,” her father announced.She was hysterical and cried louder. Her parents cried weakly because they were tired of crying.On the other hand, Tim was lost and wondered which brothers she was talking about. When she calmed down, she asked, “Who told you that they were not in school?”“The Commandant. I got to the school …”“Where could they have gone to?” She asked dejectedly.After a long silence, her father asked, “What happened to you, Laura?”“Yes. Did you fight with anybody?” Her mother asked.“Yes, Mom and Dad. A colleague vilified me before the President's Representative and he hated me. Now, he is using her as the President's Secretary instead of me.

    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?"
