The Return of General Williams 67. Misleading
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. (South Coast and you, coward, Gen. Sabastine Hanklin. I wish to let you know that we owe you no explanation over whom we support or not. Any more side talk about our Head of State or the good people of Canterbury, I Sgt. George Young will single-handedly come for y

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

At Tim's HouseHe got to his room and pondered on many things ranging from Laura's behavior and her plans to drug George.“I think I should remove her from that office but not with dignity,” he resolved and focused on how to help George.“Attic bedroom on self-exile? 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. We acted to be as surprised as they were.”“Better.”“Can we comment on it?”“Why not? But hide your identity.”“I got it. I will inform Samuel and our friends to comment as well. Their Head of State is a nincompoop. Stupid co

At The President's OfficeLaura and Gilbert had been in a staring contest since she walked in. Although the television was on they chose to glare at each other at the slighted opportunity. With the situation of things, she was undecided about whether to continue with her quest for the New President's contact. “This unpredictable human being. I don't know what to do again and he will send me away from the organization,” she mumbled.Notwithstanding, her phone peeped with a message and she jolted from her reverie. Apart from that, Gilbert felt disturbed and eyed her. She brought out her phone which had been in her purse and tapped on the message. Without delay, she began to read it. She hardly got to the middle of the circular before she screamed.“Oh, my God. Why now?”She attracted Gilbert who thought that she was bereaved and he focused on her while she continued to read.“What will I do now?” She mumbled and stared at the wall.At Tim's HouseHer question was not strange to Tim bec

At The Scene They got there and met a lot of people with different missions. The pressmen were more than the rescue team - the fire service department, law enforcement agencies, forensic laboratory, bomb technicians, and investigators. All the same, he unzipped his cross bag and brought out his hand gloves and nose mask. He put them on for safety reasons.“I need any evidence for my investigation,” he informed Richard and walked on. “Okay, Boss.”“Make way for us,” Major Bowen requested while he tried to lead Tim to the burnt trucks.The onlookers adjusted based on respect for him and not the meek-looking Tim. However, their movement left them gobsmacked.“Where are they going?”“I. Wonder. Do they wish to get to the trucks?”“I don't understand. The trucks are burnt.” “Maybe one of the trucks was theirs.”“Oh! It is possible.”Now, they were face to face with the trucks and all eyes were on them, just to see what they were up to. Nevertheless, the trucks were dismembered and the

The President's Office. After instructing Bright, he became busy with work but had his eyes on the CCTV. 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. George smiled happily and mumbled, “She is fine. I pray that Dad loves her.” At The Lobby Laur

At The President's Office Capt. 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. The security guard who despised the clunker the day Tim bought three expensive phones at the same time just saw the car. To his dismay, he was calm and busy with his phone. Presently,

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. Won't he be present?)(Just go on with your publication.)(It's all right.)Tim was euphoric when the chat ended.“I am older than you in this game,” he thought aloud.At Laura's HouseMany things like the Barrister's email, her apology video, ruined her day but the one that hit her below the belt was the privilege that George gave to Bright.“Why does he hate me so much?” She asked herself and pretended to have forgotten all she had said about him

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

At Laura's HouseElla got home and kept her findings to herself. She was aware that they will not believe her. Apart from that, even if he was alive, they would not be happy to hear that.“Welcome back, Ella,” Madeline greeted her and watched her remove her things from the car trunk.“Thank you, Mrs. Dickson,” she responded, covered the trunk and the driver drove off.Instantly, she pointed out, “It's like you forgot some things in the car?”“Not at all, Mrs. Dickson,” she answered and picked up a bag.Mrs. Dickson pick up another bag and followed her to the store.“What happened, Ella? Previously, you buy more than this?”“The fund that the boss gave to me was not as much as it used to be. So I got what I can afford with it.”“It's all right,” she hid her disappointment and answered.She returned to her apartment and informed her husband of the lean budget and he marvelled.“Could her salary been tampered with?” He asked anxiously.“I wish I know,” she responded and her husband was c

At The President's OfficeShortly after he walked into his office, Brig. Dale walked in. He stood up immediately and saluted him, “Good morning, Brig. Dale.”He returned the salute happily and they sat down.“The President said he needs the photographs and videos of today's lesson since it is our last day.”“That's good to hear. I need it too.”“It is okay by me. I will get my secretary to do that right away.”Instantly, he called on Bright and he arrived. He was about to give his phone to him when he got a message from Tim. He paused and read through it.(I am at the mall. Do you want me to get a phone for your Dad or will you do that after work? I promise I won't buy a clunker.)George smiled quietly at his promise and replied.(Thank you, for this, Boss. He won't even mind the clunker.)(Okay.)Afterward, he handed his phone to Bright and instructed him on how to use it and get high-quality video and photographs.“I got it, Boss,” he responded with glee and began.He took differen

At The Secretary's Office“This is good,” he said and took his seat.He watched the video again and wrote his note.(This is to notify all staff members that no form of indiscipline will be tolerated in the organization. Anyone found wanting would be decisively dealt with. Signed: Management).He smiled cynically and shared the video. At The Front DeskBarbara was relaxing with her phone while waiting for the visitors who usually gain access into the complex at 10 AM when messages popped up. She quickly tapped on the first message and saw the General Manager's notification that Laura was no more the President's secretary and introduced Bright as the secretary.“Good riddance to bad rubbish,” she thought and glared at Laura.Afterward, she tapped on the second message which was a video and began to watch it. After watching it, she shook her head negatively and looked at Laura again. Meanwhile, she was sad and reading the email from Barr. Gibson and did not notice that she got messages

Tim gave George a mocking look and stated, "Someone suddenly began to miss both of you and we decided to come."George smiled shyly and Samuel declared, "We miss you too.""Yes. We have been homesick since the last time we spoke. How is work?""Work is fine, Gerald. How are your studies?" "Our studies are fine. Thank you for coming.""It is our pleasure," they responded one after the other."How is everyone at home?" Samuel asked."Everyone is fine.""That's good.""I can see that you are doing well," Tim stated."Yes, Brother-in-law.""That is good to hear. If I guess right, you will be through with your exams this coming week?""You are right.""It's all right. See you then.""Okay. Thank you for coming," Gerald said and opened the door."Brother-in-law, remember that you promised to take us to a cinema," Samuel made clear."Yes. The Silver Bird Cinema," Tim admitted and Samuel was glad that the promise was intact."If you perform better than the previous year," George strengthened
