The Return of General Williams 80. Pay Back Time 12
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

“You got it but don't document it. Whatever that happens to him at your office will be blamed on him.”“I got it. I will claim to be ignorant of his visit to the Auxiliary Armory PLC.”“You got it. Ensure that your cameras are active. I want to see him beaten to a stupor by a Sergeant.”“Yes. I have told him what to do. He will put on a boot with iron studs and kick him until he dies.” “No. He will not let him die. That would save him much trouble. He should live and see how a Sergeant from Canterbury beat him to a stuporHis proposal was pleasant to Tim and he acknowledged it.“I have not thought about it. His blood will contaminate our soil.”“I'm glad that you got it. And it would be on record that he died in our country. That is a great honor to his biography.”“I got it, Your Excellency.”“Good. Write the letter now and I will append my seal. You will append yours as well.”“Yes. My seal is still with Gen. McDonald.”“Not at all. He is wiser than that. He handed everything to Ka

“I became panicky when I learned that there would be a written test.”“I almost fainted. Thank God that it had come and gone.”“You are right. It's only a dunce who would not scale through the test.”“That is a fact.”Although her name was not mentioned in their chat she was conscience-stricken and wished that she could pick anything that had to do with her and talk back at them. When she found none, she cursed them all the same, “Idiots. How can you say that it is only a dunce who will fail? Are those questions simple? I don't even know how the knucklehead Tim answered the question.”Meanwhile, Capt. Bolton had not taunted George over his discovery in his office the previous day.“It's good that you are here, Sgt. Young. The table was incomplete yesterday?”“Pardon my absence.”“It's all right. I was at your office to check on you.”“Oh, yes! I left earlier. I hope there was no problem?”“Not quite. I waited for you and when I got tired of watching the movie you played for your staff

“I think you should take a break. You need to rest.”Laura was mute with a hopeless look. Then, her mother elucidated.“You can check on him and request for the contact of the new President.”Her mother's idea offered her a ray of hope and her face beamed with pleasure.“You have a good point, Mom. If he gives me the new President's contact, I will let him know everything that had gone wrong in the office.”“That is good. You will vilify all those who had ruined your integrity before his Representative.”“You got it, Mom. I will begin with Stephanie.”“That's right. Don't spare the Representative either. You are the right person to represent your boss until he resumes.”“Yes. I will do that.”Afterward, she cheered up and got up from the bed while her mother returned to her apartment.At The Mount Olive Village(It is not a bad idea. I will give it a thought. Thank you for everything.) (It is my pleasure. See you tomorrow.)After chatting with Tim, he mulled over his proposal to ce

“Talk to us. What is the matter?” Her father persuaded her.“He gave me Tim's number,” she said with a hoarse voice.“Oh, my God! That is mockery,” her mother declared.Her father was weakened by such a degree of callousness, “That is cruel of him. He would have simply declined your request,” he pointed out.Now, the weight of their problem rested heavily on Laura and she began to cry. Although her parents were not crying audibly their hearts were bleeding.“How will I be retained when I did not do well in the test?” She cried out.Her parents were overburdened to pacify her and she cried on. Meanwhile, they cursed Gen. McDonald for being cruel in their hearts without thinking that they were cruel.At Tim's House“Maybe he will give her my contact tomorrow," he stated when he was through with his dinner and did not get her call. He got up and walked to the basement to see what George did.“Wow! He did an excellent job,” he complimented.He looked at the heap of ammunition and said, “

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.

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?

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.

Anyone found wanting would be decisively dealt with. Signed: Management).He smiled cynically and shared the video.

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.
