The Return of General Williams 69. Pay Back Time
“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.

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

At Tim's HouseHe returned and met the worried George at the gate. However, he attributed it to the shock of the averted accident and asked, “Are you all right?”George searched him before he answered, “I am fine. Are you?”Tim understood his worry and answered, “As you can see, I am fine. Change your wears and take a rest. We will talk later,”“Okay, Boss.”At Laura's HouseHer parents could feel her happiness when she walked in and inquired at once.“Wow! Has your President resumed?”“Did you mention my reward to him?”“It is not what you think, Mom and Dad. Turn on the television,” she advised them.Her father turned on the television, and they focused on it. At that point, there was another program going on and her bewildered father asked, “What about the program?”“This is not the program I am referring to. That stupid representative of my President was attacked by unknown truck drivers.”“Ha! I hope they killed him?” Her mother asked excitedly.“Not yet, Mom. But I know he will

“I don't know but it won't be difficult to trace. I will check all the forensic science centers in the city.”“That is good to hear. Do that quickly.”“Consider it done, Your Excellency.”Gen. Hanklin was temporary relieved and hopeful.“That disrespectful Sergeant will not see the end of tomorrow. He survived today by sheer luck but tomorrow, I will not miss it,” he hissed and began to harness other plans.He was in that state, when George's second broadcast popped up. This time, he was talking and relishing his cup of tea.Gen. Hanklin stopped in his tracks and watched the video to the end. “What! A Sergeant, not addressing me properly,” he squawked. If eyes could kill, he would have killed George several times.To rub it in, the Head of State of Savannah commiserated with Gen. Richmond and the good people of Canterbury on the unfortunate circumstances.(Attention: Gen. Felix Canterbury. The Head of State of Canterbury. I, Gen. Muncie Tarter and the good people of Savannah, express

At Raino Airport The team landed after seven hours. They looked at the General, who was sleeping soundly, and wondered what to do."I can wake him up," Richard volunteered and did.George got out of the aircraft by walking confidently down the staircase followed by Jerry and Silas. At that point, many media houses had their beam lights on him. After them, the next person they saw was a disheveled Gen. Anderson, who was in cuffs. Richard guided him until he stepped on the last staircase. Tim got out, too, and adjusted his cross bag.George led them until they got to the tarmac. Before Gen. Anderson crossed, Richard unlocked the cuffs and retrieved them. He gave him an arm salute and as usual, he ignored him.Before they could turn, a Raino soldier cuffed him at once. The reporters were disappointed. They thought they would walk to the lobby and grant them an interview. Since they did not, they ran after them. When they caught up with him, they began their interview, "Welcome to Rai

At The Canterbury Defense Academy The cadets were in the mess room having their breakfast when they were watching the broadcast. Gerald and Samuel became cold at once but concealed it. Although they were still with their phones, they could not call Tim or George for fear of being reprimanded for disturbing them. Gerald ate his food as though he was not disturbed. Afterward, he walked to Samuel's section and met him staring at his food and lost in thought. Despite that, he would do nothing; his presence could assuage his anxieties. "Eat your food," he encouraged him.Samuel was startled by his voice and looked up. He smiled dryly when he saw him and said, "Okay."He watched him as he finished his food and got up.Now, everyone was out of the mess room and walking to their classrooms. It was time to speak on the broadcast."Maj. Young would have separated his head from his neck. Foolish man.""I don't know why they hate us.""What was the driver's offense?""I wish I knew. He wished t

At Tim's House George can take everything but not coming home and not meeting Tim. His countenance changed when Collins stopped in front of the foyer and he got out of the car. They saluted him accordingly and he returned the salute. He walked into the parlor and was disturbed by a message. He checked out for the sender and sat down when he noticed that it was from his father.He punched the message and smiled when he saw the picture of the car."Beautiful," he said and admired it.He read the message and was happy with their progress."Wow! He has spoken with his parents-in-law. That is good," he pointed out.He vacillated over calling Tim to find out his whereabouts."He may be too busy, and I don't want to disturb him," he said, got up, and headed to his room.After changing his clothes, he laid on the bed for a nap. He woke up a few minutes before 6 PM and concluded that he was back. He was about to leave his room when he got a call from him. He picked it up anxiously and greet

"Yes, Mom and Dad. We indicated our interest to get married today.""Wow! I thought you would never marry, Ella," her mother teased her.She laughed softly and responded, "It is not so, Mom. I have found the person I love and I am getting married. That is it.""Ha, Ella. I can't believe that you are talking about marriage. How is the man?" Her mother asked her curiously."Is the man handsome?" Her father asked her jokingly and she laughed aloud."I can't wait to see the man who is worthy of your love," her mother added."We shall see. Speak with my husband," she said."Are you with him?" Her mother anxiously asked her."Yes, Mom. He heard everything you said about him."Before her mother could react, she handed the phone over to the old man. He looked at her happy face before he spoke."Good day, Mother-in-law. I am pleased to speak with you."'So it is true?' she mumbled before she greeted him, "Good day, my in-law. I'm happy to hear from you. How are you?""I'm good. And you?""We a

At The Christchurch DomeVincent was only following them like a sheep being led to the slaughter. Left for him, he would love to be with his family. When Tim stopped, he was hesitant to get out of the car."Here we are," Richard said and got out of the car.He expected him to do the same thing. When he did not, he opened the door for him and said, "Come out."He obeyed and he shut the door. He led him to the foyer while Tim called the Second in Command.When he picked up the call, he greeted him, "Good evening, Tim. What's up.""Good evening, Your Excellency. Are you still in the office?""No.""It is okay. I took the driver away from the hospital. Dr. Morgan was responsible for the mix-up.""Oh, my God! Where are you?""I'm at the Dome. He is safer here.""Wait for me. I'm still around.""It's all right," he said and the call ended.He got out of the car and joined the two in the foyer. Incidentally, Vincent's phone rang, and he tried to pick up the call."For now, no calls until we

Nevertheless, the media crew parked in front of the hospital and waited for instructions from the Minister."I will let you know what to do," he informed them."We got it, Boss," they answered him simultaneously.The three of them followed Tim who was leading the way. At that time, he had ensured that his secret camera was on.Instead of seeing Dr. Morgan in his office, he led them to the ward hoping to catch the caregiver or anyone responsible for the act. He pushed the door and walked in at once and the others followed.Dr. Rochford was startled and he looked up. He was frightened to see three high-ranking soldiers with unhappy faces. Meanwhile, Vincent woke up when the door creaked and focused on the soldiers. He suspected that they had come for him and sat up. To get the truth from him, Tim smiled broadly, and Dr. Rochford, who they did not recognize,e, was surprised to see that for the first time."Good morning, Vincent," he greeted him.On hearing his first name, he assumed tha

A broad smile flickered across his lips and he mumbled, "That little boy of yesterday is now taking care of his father. I can't believe it."He looked at Ella, who was sleeping soundly beside him, and his eyes were wet with tears of joy.Thereupon, he began to count his blessings, "The Lord has rewarded me according to my heart's desires because He has seen the cleanness of my hands. Wonderful son and a caring wife. My Dukedom has been upgraded and restored. Above all, the Young man is there for me. What else will I ask from God?"Afterward, he sent a message to Tim and informed him of the allocation. He tossed his phone aside and bent to kiss Ella's temple. Suddenly, his phone rang and woke Ella from sleep."Who is this?" He asked himself and picked up his phone."Mr. Watson," he said and looked at Ella who was waiting to know the caller."The car dealer," he explained and picked up the call."Hello, Mr. Watson.""Good day, Your Grace. We are close to your palace," he informed him."

Meanwhile, George was bitter that he addressed him wrongly and would not allow him to go without being reprimanded. He smiled dryly and answered him, "Not immediately, Gen. Anderson. I will do that after I get justice for the taxi driver you wished to strangle to death."Before that time, he was not aware that he was discovered. Subsequently, he was distressed and wished to die. Just like in a movie scene, he began to faint, but Valentine, who was about to lock the tailgate, grabbed him. Cpl. Barton and Jerry noticed it, walked to him, and helped to steady him."You can't die now," George snarled and gave him a hate look before they walked him to his cell. Richard followed him and unlocked the cuffs and got them back for Tim. He did the same thing for the other suspects and joined the General Manager and George."This is unbelievable," the General Manager pointed out."Just imagine that. Who would suspect that he was hiding there?" Richard responded."See you later," Richard said an

To avoid more questions, he got up and requested for lunch."Kindly find out if Francis is through with the lunch.""Oh! You are famished," she said and walked away."George must have done this," he told himself.Suddenly, his phone beeped with a message and he was distracted. He looked at the sender and his face beamed with delight."Wow! The allocation," he stated joyously. Shortly after, Ella walked into the room and informed him that lunch was ready.At The Second in Command's Office While Richard and Valentine were sitting in the Hilux, Tim got into the clunker and informed him via a text that they should leave for the complex at once while he went to see the Second in Command. He acknowledged it and informed Valentine, "We are going to the complex.""I got it, Major," he said and drove off.Tim informed George to expect them before he drove behind them. He arrived at Kay's office with a sad demeanor and he prepared himself for the worst. He saluted him hurriedly and he cut th
