“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

“That is good to hear. How will the Aptitude Test look like tomorrow?”“We have the Military Test Developers. They often set the questions and upload them on the website a day to our examination.”“Okay?”“Since this is impromptu, I will only repeat the questions that we have on the website.”“In other words, what you are saying is that they are familiar with the questions. Am I right?”The Manager misinterpreted his reason for asking. He smiled dryly and answered, “Yes, Sgt. Young. But we can inform the test developers to set fresh questions if you don't want us to use the old ones.”“That will take some days and delay the interview.”“You are right. I recommend that we use the previous questions.”“That's good to hear. The exercise is just to test whether they are still interested in the organization and nothing more. Repeating the questions is not bad.”“I thought as much.”“Will it be handwritten?”“Sure. Since they are here. There will be no need for an online test.”“It is all r

At The Clinic Tim was certain that he had spoken his language and he would yield in no time. The man mulled over his previous statement. - 'I decide whether you should live or die.'Not only that, his last statement showed that he was a deadly insurgent and was not to be overlooked.“What is the name of your fraternity?” The driver asked Tim after deliberating on what had happened between that day and the previous day.“You are not to know unless we sign a bond but for your information, we have served as undercover for many countries. If we had met the Head of State of the South Coast, Savannah would not have defeated them,” Tim spoke with precision and the driver was excited.He mulled over his proposal and concluded that his leader would be interested in partnering with such a rugged man.Meanwhile, Tim realized that he had captured his interest and he would succumb forthwith. He upped his game by getting up and pretending to leave.“Wait. Do you wish to leave me here?” The driver

They were arguing among themselves when his phone beeped with a message and he was attracted to read it since it would not warrant him to speak. Instantly, he brought out his phone from his tattered bag and looked at the message. He frowned when he noticed that it was from an unfamiliar contact.“Who is this?” He asked himself and tapped on the message. He had goosebumps when he saw his name and mumbled, “The person knows me very well,” and read the message.(Hope, Porous sent me to you. He wished to let you know that he was not killed in the inferno. Contact me if you wish to see him).Cold sweats covered his forehead at once and he read it again. Meanwhile, the passengers were still arguing.“I'm waiting for the outcome of the investigation.”“I'm also waiting. I want to ascertain whether that driver was dead or alive.”“I can't wait to hear that.”“Attendant. I wish to get off,” Hope requested and attracted the other passengers. They focused on him and waited for the bus attendant

Gilbert was bewildered and lost of the right thing to do. He was transfixed by the astonishment.“Who will not be afraid of Sgt. Young even in his absence?” He asked himself and sat down.He watched the video to the end and discovered that it was in repeat mode.“Sgt. Young is a smooth operator who can kill silently,” he said and felt for Laura despite their bickering. In the toilet, Laura wept bitterly for about an hour before she composed herself and walked back to the office but could not look at Gilbert's face. She believed that he was happy over her plight.At The Accident SceneTim had been monitoring Hope's movements. He saw him at the accident scene watching the burnt trucks like the other onlookers with a pretentious awe.“One would think he is a beggar and offer to help him,” he murmured and walked out of the house.“Get ready, Richard. We are going to the accident scene.”“Okay, Boss,” he responded and put his handgun into his breast pocket and held his rifle firmly. Befor

With their gentleman's agreement, Hope opened up, “We have been here for more than two weeks. Since the country helped Savannah to defeat the South Coast, the President contracted us to bring down the Head of Gen. Felix Richmond.”“We are here on the same mission. I have been here for two years after Gen. Sidney McDonald and his men massacred their enemies during the last war. The easiest way to achieve that is by enrolling as a student in their most prestigious academy and it has paid off. As you can see, I have penetrated them. They trusted me so much.”“Yes. You have achieved a lot for yourself. To enter the Headquarters without restrictions is not a child's play,” Hope stated.He continued his story and they listened attentively.“I'm glad that you have seen things for yourself. His retirement from the military was caused by me. The new General and the Third in Command is my ally and with you by my side, it is time to strike.”“Ha! You have achieved a lot. You have our support.”“T

Gilbert answered but Laura did not and the Secretary attributed it to a lack of home training. Capt. Jaja moved swiftly to the President's door but Gilbert stopped him.“The President is not in his office,” he informed him.“Oh, no! Where has he gone to?”“He stepped out,” Gilbert who thought that he was still in the complex, answered forthwith.The Captain furrowed his brow and said, “It's all right. I will wait for him.”He walked to the couch and sat down while Mary did the same thing. At that point, they looked at the television and could not decipher the program that was playing out.However, the secretary was able to connect the dots after watching her first and second comments. (It serves him right. Idiot. He thinks he is the President.)(Shame on you, Sgt. Young. I have reapplied and must be retained. Idiot.)Instantly, she looked at Laura who could not look up from her desk, and suddenly began to laugh. To avoid disrespecting her Boss, she got up at once.“Excuse me, Boss,” s

George was openly troubled and was close to tears. With his shaky voice, he asked, “What do you want to do?”“I will invite him over to Canterbury,” Tim said and locked eyes with him His statement weakened George and he felt like going into hiding. He fought back his tears and Tim waited for him to speak. After some seconds he found his bearings.“Why do you want to invite him to our country? He will fish me out and kill me.”“No. He can't. I'm inviting him over so that you will single-handedly crush him.”“No, Boss. I cannot crush a long-standing General like him,” he stated with sweat on his forehead.“You can. Remember that you said that you will not hesitate to crush all of them if he dares you.”“Yes. I said so. But …”“But what? Has he not dared you by wanting to kill you with two trucks?” Tim emphasized and he was mute.Without waiting for his opinion, he continued, “If you don't kill him, the world will assume that you are a coward and kill you. Are you a coward?”Now, Tim's w

The President's Office. After instructing Bright, he became busy with work but had his eyes on the CCTV.

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.

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.

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
