At Tim's House

He 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 House

Her 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

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.

    “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.

    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

I haven't been to Mount Olive before. How do I find my way?”“The supervisor will bring you. You will arrive incognito so that the youths will not overcrowd the event.”“I got it, Major.”“Good.

    The General Manager believed him and said, “The manual is there. You should have read through it.”“I did. But I had a problem along the line.”“I see.”He stood up immediately and appreciated him, “I'm grateful,” he said and returned to the Secretary's office.To avoid exposing himself, he brought out his phone and the manual. Then, he looked at the clerk and requested, “Kindly put me through on how to use the phone.”He smiled and walked to him. He sat beside him and began to teach him. As a good student, he learned faster, and appreciated him afterward, “Thank you for your assistance.”“It is my pleasure,” he responded and returned to his seat.Then, Tim got up, looked at Stephanie, and said in a low tone, “It's remaining one a half day.” She smiled softly and he walked away.

    “Huh!” He exclaimed and laughed euphorically.Tim was infested and laughed as well.“How can I invite them?” He asked him.“Are they not your friends? Let me have the names of the friends you wished to invite.”“It is all right,” he said and gave him the names of eight Dukes and he walked away.He got to his room and contacted the fake Duke and asked him to invite them.“Sir, we have invited them but they declined the invitation,” he answered.Tim was surprised and asked him, “Why? Did they give any reason?”“Not at all. They arrogantly turned the invitation down.”“It is all right,” he said and ended the call.At Lt. Col.

    Tim walked into George's office and they locked eyes. He noticed that he was sad and inquired, “What's up, Boss?”“I don't know how the boys would cope with a new Commandant,” he sat down and responded.“You just said my mind. You should have advised the Second in Command.”“The Head of State distorted his work after he submitted the list to him.”“Ha! He must have his reasons.”“What could be his reason? That was the man responsible for the scandal against him,” Tim blurted out.George was bewildered and he locked eyes with him. After a while, he spoke, “Maybe he wished to disgrace him by sending him to where he cannot function well.”Tim looked at him for a while before he said, “You may be right. I have not thought of that. But he should not joke with the children's studies.”“Let's watch out.”Tim wanted to speak but the door opened and he halted. George smiled when he saw the visitor. Tim turned and saw the General Manager. He got up at once and greeted him, “Good morning, Maj.

At The Second in Command's OfficeThey got to Kay's office and he asked Tim, “What kind of posting is this?”“Huh! Can Ben manage the school?”“It baffles me. I thought he would punish him because of that scandalous post against the school and the government,” Kay stated.“I thought so as well. Does it mean that he is compensating him for working against his government?”Kay walked to his swivel chair and sat down while Tim sat on the visitor's seat and waited for his response.“That is the challenge. He will assume that his act was not discovered.”Tim noticed that he was angry and pacified him, “Don't let it bother you. Just publish the postings.”“Thank you for your conce

    At The President's Office Bright and Gilbert have observed that George laughed exceptionally aloud whenever Tim was with him and that day was no different. He walked in after he left the General Manager's office. Nevertheless, George had been curious to hear the outcome of his visit.He looked at his hand and grimaced his face, “What did he give to you?” He asked him anxiously.“I have not checked it,” he answered and sat down.He brought the gift out of the shopping bag and a smile beamed across his face, “It is a handset,” he announced happily.“Wow! What did you do for him to attract this? I mean what attempted deceit did you foil during the Widow and Widowers Empowerment Program?”Tim laughed and narrated the story. George laughed aloud and pointed out, “Oh! They don't value you but wish to enrich themselves through you.”“Just imagine that but he regretted it. Seeing a supposed ghost will disturb him any time he remembers it.”“You are right. Congratulations on your New Year gif

    Tim shook his head and asked her, “What is remaining? Just make it five times a week.”“No. I'm not selfish. Four and a half are all right by me.”“Not selfish indeed. If I do, what will I tell your boss is my reason for frequenting his office?”Now, the die was cast and she looked forlorn. They locked eyes for a while and saw the burning desire they had for each other in their eyes. Tim looked away and his eyes fell on her phone.“Your phone is fine,” he complimented her.She smiled happily and said, “Thank you for the compliment. It was my birthday gift.”“Wow! That birthday cake was one in town and now this.”“I was shocked as well. Even the former President's wife had not celebrated her birthday with such size of cake,” she explained.“I see. What is the brand of the phone? Let me take a look.”She innocently gave him her phone and he pretended to be studying it. He kept her busy with compliments while connecting her phone to his. When he was done, he teased her by asking, “Can w

    At The Complex Soon, he was in the complex. He got out of the car and Richard drove off at once.Tim walked into the lobby, greeted his men with his head, and walked to the elevator. He pressed the button of the last floor and waited. When it opened, he walked in.The unfriendly-looking security team answered his greetings and let him in. He walked in and greeted Bright and Gilbert accordingly before walking into George's office.He was happy to see him and asked him immediately, “How did it go?”“It went well. They have started planning how to visit the house.”“Huh! So early?”“It baffles me too. Samuel reminded me of the Waitangi Day holiday.”George laughed aloud and Tim was infested.Nevertheless, Major Bolton came around earlier to have a private meeting with George before the Weekly Meeting. He heard them laughing and wondered if another manager was there. He opened the door and walked in and was surprised at their familiarity. “Good morning, Major,” Tim got up from the visit

    Likewise, he sent a message to Richard and informed him that they arrived safely. He pleaded for an off on Monday. Afterward, he began to wait for his response.He had been busy since he disembarked and had not gone online. Now that he had settled in his hotel room, he could do that. He was shocked to see their story and pictures trending.He furrowed his forehead and asked himself, “Who is doing this?”Presently, he was panting and sweating despite the January cold. He sat up from the bed and read the details of the story quickly. To his delight, the post was not harmful and his details were not explicit.He tossed his phone aside and breathed in and out before lying back on the bed.“What will she do if she finds out about my past?” He asked himself.“What about her parents and brother? They are too morally upright to accept me as their son-in-law,” he lamented.The fear that he would lose her gripped him at once and he began to cry like a baby. At that point, he could not think of
