At The President's Office

After the installation of the cameras, they watched the staff as they continued with their work. Not long, they were through.

“Good job,” George stated.

“It is our pleasure, Sir. Don't hesitate to call us if you encounter any issues,” the leader of the team informed them.

“It is all right. Thank you, once again,” George appreciated them and looked at Cpl. Simpson.

“Kindly send them on their way, Corporal.”

“It is all right, General,” he said and walked away with them.

“Do you wish to stay to the end of the auction sales?” Tim asked George.

“I may not if my attention is not needed.”

“Find out. You need to rest after the training.”

“I got it. I will check on them.”

They locked the office and left. Tim returned to the car while George walked to the auction ground.

“How is it going, Capt. Bolton?” He asked after he took his seat

The Captain smiled broadly and responded, “It is going on well. We have sold over five hundred cars.”

    Her voice attracted Capt. Bolton and he looked up in its direction. When he saw her disheveled look, he commanded, “Take her out of here immediately.”Since on her accord, she stripped herself of Tim - her glory and covering, anyone can trample on her.“I got it, Captain,” the Corporal agreed and brought out his handcuffs.Nevertheless, the cameramen were diligent in their duties. They captured the scene and before they realized that it was not part of the program and withdrew their cameras, it had been aired and they could not stop it.At that point, she opted to leave on her own. Meanwhile, Stephanie was surprised to see her dressed like that and attributed it to the divorce and miscarriage. At Laura's House Right from the time she left for the complex, her parents were glued to the television and waited eagerly to see her execute their instructions. They were conversant with the distance and the estimated time of her arrival.“Why is she not there yet?” Her father asked anxiousl

    A few minutes before 5 PM, Tim awoke from his nap rested, and invigorated. Then, he walked into the bathroom to make water and brush his teeth. He returned to the room afterward and began to dress up for the most treasured training from Samuel.“Where will this training take place and what will he even teach me?” He asked himself in wonderment. When he was set, he walked out of his room to the parlor.“Where is everyone?” He asked when he noticed that the house was quiet.Nevertheless, he walked to the foyer and discovered that they were waiting for him in the garden. He joined them and was pleased with the temporary training ground.“Wow!” He exclaimed and the boys were delighted.Apart from George, no other person knew that the training was specifically for their boss. They thought that they wished to rehearse what they learned from the shooting range.“Good evening, Boss,” everyone, including George, greeted him respectfully and the boys were confused. They looked at his face as

    At The Auxiliary Armory PLCGeorge arrived early and met Mabel, the Janitor on duty that week waiting for him. From the look of things, she may accuse Gilbert of vilifying her before the President's Representative as well.“Good morning, Sgt. Young,” she greeted happily.Without opening the door, George scanned her before he responded to her greetings, “Good morning, Janitor. How may I help you?” “I'm on duty here this week,” she explained.Instantly, he resolved that he would not work with her and requested, “That's good to hear. Ask your boss to send Gilbert to me.” Despite her crestfallen face, he never expected her to argue with him. He opened his door and walked in.“What is wrong with this, Gilbert? Why must he send for him?” She asked herself bitterly.They preferred the President's office to any other office in the complex because it had less work. Unlike the General Manager's and the Accountant's offices where most of the activities of the organization take place. They will

    Tim ran his hand across his head, laughed happily, and asked himself, “What would I have done without George? Thank you, for being the best.” At Laura's House “Everything is just going south quickly. Our sons are missing. Our daughter is facing a lot at her place of work. What is happening?”Madeline was conversant with his feelings and consoled him, “I know how you feel. I feel the same way too but we have to be alive for each other and solve the problem together.”“Even if they return today, they would have been expelled from the school, as the Commandant threatened.”“Ouch!” She cried out in anguish. Presently, she was weeping and her husband was uncomfortable with it.“Stop crying, my dear. Let me call their numbers again. Who knows, fate will smile on us.”A dry smile flickered across Madeline's face and she looked on while he dialed Gerald's number. They waited afterward until they heard the automated message - The number you dialed is unreachable.“It could be a glitch. Kindl

    “Lance Corporals indeed. Are you not aware that they were the Secretary's thugs? How can they function here?”“Oh, my God! They are the only officers free presently.” “Get two men from your office and replace these dogs with them.”“I got you, Captain,” he answered.“Can you imagine that? I didn't even recognize them,” George said and got up.“They should leave at once,” he said, and the General Manager watched him trying to walk out of his chair.“I have sent them away,” he informed him.“That is good,” he said and sat down.The General Manager breathed heavily and looked at George's face. When he observed that he was calmer, he made his request known. “The Supervisor of the Janitorial Services Company was in my office.”“I am aware. I sent him. Now that he has revoked his contract, we should advertise for a replacement,” George stated conclusively.The General Manager was bereft of speech and was unable to bring up their case. He smiled softly and looked at George again. Meanwhil

    "Oh! Do they see it as a gesture? That is very nice of them,” he responded without expecting any monetary reward.“They are genuinely grateful. If we have your account details, we will forward it to them.”“My account?” He furrowed his brow and asked.“Yes.” To avoid appearing rude and demoralizing them, he supplied his details and they left while he continued with his work.At The Canteen“You can go for your lunch one after the other,” he informed the Corporals when he walked out of his office.“Okay, General,” they accepted, and he moved. As for Gilbert, he would sort himself out. He got to the canteen and sat with the managers. Subsequently, they were served and they began to eat.Unexpectedly, they saw his broadcast.

    He dropped the folder on the table and walked out immediately and met Gilbert sitting on the couch and watching the television. Although he was respectful to him in the past that day, after watching his broadcast, he added fear to his relationship with him. “If you don't see me at the close of work, just bang the door and leave.”“Okay, President.”He got to the door and met the Corporals. He returned their salutes and left. When he got to the lobby, Collins and Jerry got up and followed him.“What's up, George? Who provoked you?” Collins asked him.“That stupid Head of State deserves more than that.”“You are right. This will humble him.” Not long, they were at home.Meanwhile, Laura was through with the cleaning of the Janitorial office. She cleaned her ruined dress too and returned to the lobby.“Where are they,” she asked when she noticed that Collins and Jerry were gone. Nevertheless, she sat down and resigned herself to her fate.At Tim's HouseAt twenty years, George had rem

He must have been frustrated by his wife to take such a decision,” he concluded and began to follow up on the news. Not long, he dozed off and was woken up by a call. He jumped up from the bed and picked up his phone that was on the sideboard.“Gerald,” he muttered and received the call.“Hello, Gerald. How are you doing?”“I'm fine, Brother-in-law. We saw George's broadcast on the internet news.”“Oh! That's good. I hope you did not let your colleagues know that you are close to him?”“Not at all.

When a lady walked into the Secretary's office, he saw a mature lady with a good spirit and positive outlook “Is she the one?” He asked himself and began to monitor her. “Good morning, Bright. I'm Ella Patrick.” “I know. Good morning. Your services at the Senior Staff member's house is over. You are hereby recalled to the canteen.” “It's all right. When do I return?” She responded as though she had been expecting it. “Now,” Bright said and watched her countenance. “I got it. Have you informed the Canteen Supervisor? He wasn't expecting me back.” “It is possible. Let's see him,” Bright accepted and got up. He looked at Gilbert and informed him, “Let the President know that I have gone to the canteen.” “I will do that, Mr. Desmond,” he responded and they watched them walked out.

Bolton walked in after he settled down and informed him of the Cadets.“How many of them are we supposed to absorb?” He asked and pretended as if Bright had not informed him.“We absorb one hundred of them every year.”“That is good to hear. How much stipend do we pay them?”“Nothing. The experience they gain from us is enough for them.”“Don't you think that it is absurd? If we can't encourage them, who will?”The General Manager thought for a while and explained, “I have not given it a thought.”“There is room for improvement. Meanwhile, inform the Corporal to stop collecting more applications.”“I got it. What is our conclusion on the stipend?”“If I may ask, how long is the internship? In our days, it was three months.”“It's still the same.”“It is all right. Let's encourage them with one percent of the senior staff salary. That wouldn't be too much on us for three months.”The General Manager giggled and declared, “I will go back to where I did m

    Now, George was holding two guns and looked like the troublemaker. The Mall security guards rushed to the scene and tried to intervene but they were shocked to see a Major holding a rifle and looking at them as though they were entertaining him. They looked at the two and concluded that the Major was calm because the money bag was a pickpocket.“I say kneel,” George shouted and he reluctantly got up and complied.“Remove your jacket,” he ordered.“You will regret …,”George did not give him the grace of completing his threat and hit his head with his gun.“Ouch,” he shrieked aloud.“Shut up and remove your jacket,” he ordered.He locked eyes with him and discovered that he had judged him wrongly. “Remove your jacket,” a security guard lent his voice.He looked at the onlookers and looked down in shame.

    At Tim's Room He hardly took five steps when Hope's phone beeped with a message. He overlooked it and walked to his room, changed his wear and relaxed on the bed before he read his messages.(Yes. I'm here, Hope. Can we chat?)(I just want to update you. My informant said that the invited Head of States have acknowledged their invitations and promised to be at the event.)(That is good to hear. What next?)(The publicity for the anniversary will be on air tomorrow.)(I can't wait to see it.)(You have not said anything about your sponsor.

    At Tim's HouseGeorge was happy to leave the office after the inspection of the proposed site for the mill and the collection of the proposal. Unfortunately, he got home and discovered that Tim was not at the foyer to receive him.“Huh!” He hissed while Collins drove on.His worries increased when he did not see Tim's clunker at the garage.'Where could he be? Is he not back from the mall?' He asked himself and got out of the car.“Thank you, Collins,” he said and hurried to his room to see his father.He opened the door and stood still when he saw the bed empty. After observing it for a while, he walked in and called out, “Dad.”When he did not hear any response, he pushed the door and looked in but did not see his father.“Where will he be?” He mumbled.At that point, his military might gave way and was replaced by affinity and the longing of a child. He fought back his tears when he remembered the time he was alone and without the hope of seeing his father again.To relieve himself
