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, “
Now, George mistook Hope's moves for an attack and grabbed him by his tie.“What do you think you are trying to do? Beat me up?” He looked into his eyes and asked angrily.“Not as you …”(Gbooa. Gbooa) George hit his face before he could explain. At that point, all the Corporals and other officers were not just confused but scared of George. Collins and Jerry who just arrived, held their breath.Meanwhile, Tim had not shown up and the two were too confused. They thought whether he had gone to park his car in another town or in that same complex.Nevertheless, the General Manager saw the happenings in the security office from his security television and shouted.“What? Sgt. Young?” In a jiffy, he was at the gate. Meanwhile, George had pulled out his gun from his inner pocket and pointed it to his face. Before he could pull the trigger, he heard his name.“Stop, Sergeant,” Capt. Bolton shouted.Collins and Jerry were relieved to hear his voice and prayed that George would obey him and
At The AirportThe other criminals were waiting anxiously while the annoying broadcast was being aired.“I hope these people are not airing this to make us angry?” One of them asked.“But they don't know us or why we are here,” the other person responded.“You have a point.”As though the authority read their minds, they removed the broadcast and announced the arrival of the Head of State of the South Coast for a peace talk with the people of Canterbury. The news was pleasant to most people, and they remarked one after the other.(That is a good move.)(He must be a gentleman.)(Does that mean that he did not have hands in the attack on the Sergeant?)(We accused him wrongly.)The positive remarks had no end, but the people of Savannah were not left out. They shared their negative remarks as well.(Cowards. They chickened out at the last minute.)(They are afraid of a small boy.)The criminals at the airport were not disturbed by the malicious remarks because they believed that it wou
“What led to this again?” They asked one after the other.His wife could not believe that her husband was not cloned.“He was happy with the recommendation. There must be a mix-up,” she concluded and waited for more updates.At The Canterbury Military AcademyThe news of his visit to the Auxiliary Armory PLC did not go down well with the students even though he did not lay hands on George.“So, he wished to kill the young Sergeant?”“It is obvious. Can he go to this extent?”“It baffled me.”Meanwhile, Gerald and Samuel were proud of him but wished to see him.“What do we do? Brother-in-law would not permit us to visit the house,” Samuel pointed out.“You are right. The Commandant and Housemaster will not even release us. They will assume that we are taking things for granted.”“You are right. We can just call George.”“What do we tell him if he picks up the call,” Gerald asked, and he was speechless.At Laura's House.She returned from work sad and sick-looking. Her parents did not ne
At The Complex Laura got up and walked to the door like a bulldog. The Corporal and warden gave way for her or she would have pounced on them. With that, she increased her offenses, and Jerry cashed in and whipped her legs with the horsewhip."Repeat after me, Miss Dickson. Say I will not disturb the peace of the complex again," he requested while flogging her."I will never disturb .... Hey!" She stopped and shrieked in pain.Jerry continued to flog her, and she continued to cry and repeat after him."Run for your life before I kill you. Silly girl," he shouted at her and she obeyed. George was happy to see her running out of the cell like a little mouse frightened out of the Queen's chair.She continued running towards the reception when Jerry joined George in the car and he turned on his ignition."Good job, Sergeant," he said and drove off.Nevertheless, she got to the lobby, and the new security team was surprised to see her running like a thief."What! What are you doing here?
He would have called Cpl. Simpson, who was on night duty, to release her, but it would not give him the satisfaction he wanted. Shortly after, he stormed out of his room, got the car keys from the hangar, and walked to the garage. His car alerted Collins and Jerry the moment he turned on his ignition. They walked out of the boys quarters and focused on him."We are going to the complex. Hop in if you are ready," he informed them.They were troubled and did not want to keep him longer than necessary. Jerry was on his khaki pants and camouflage shirt. Collins was putting on the same shirts upon knickers and was not comfortable with it."I will change to trousers," he said and walked away.Jerry got into the front seat, looked at George's sad face, and inquired, "I hope there's no problem?""The boss said we should release that wrench in the guard room.""Ha! You can ask the Corporal to release her," he advised him."I would have done that not until I lay my hands on her, and she would r
He furrowed his brow when he saw her in the kitchen preparing her dinner."Why doesn't she live in a big house and have security guards and a cook like Laura? At least a cook," he thought."Something should be done about it," he concluded.After he left the parlor, George sat on the couch to wait for him. At that point, he got a message from his father. He relaxed and punched on it. A wide smile covered his face while he was reading through it."She will never stay without trouble," he said when he read that Laura was arrested that morning.In the end, he said, "She would soon be working to finance bills that she incurred out of stupidity."At that point, Tim joined him and they walked to the dining table."How was your meeting with the Major General?" "It went well. Empress has grown lean," he pointed out and George was lost."What has Empress got to do with your meeting?" He asked him at once."Oh! I didn't inform you. The meeting was because of them. She fought with her instructor
To extricate herself, she answered at once, "No, Sir.""Then what happened? Don't keep me here longer than I wish," Dale thundered, and she was fear-stricken. "I apologize, Boss. I agreed with her and watched her walk to her husband. When she was sitting with him in the car, I called Mrs Bentley and showed her the two. She was surprised to see them discussing freely. When she returned, Mrs. Bentley did not bother to verify whether it was true or false."She stopped and looked at Richard who had killing intentions on his face. Tim was relishing the story and hated it when she stopped. He hit his hand on the table angrily and shouted at her, "Then what happened?"Although, they were not familiar with Tim's identity they believed that he was an important person to Dale.Instantly, she continued, "She gave her a knife hand strike. Before she could defend herself, she struck her with her shinbone and they began to fight."They focused on Empress who was still looking down. They compared
"I hope she is all right," he said and was restless.Before Tim walked to the foyer, he remembered Dale's summons to Richard's wife. He looked at his time and mumbled, "I would like to be there."He walked to his room and before he settled down, he heard a knock on the door."Come in, the door is not locked," he said, and George walked in with his stoic face."What is the matter. You scared the farmers away with your look," he made clear to him.He smiled weakly and asked him, "Did I? Miss Dickson attacked her colleague and injured her."Tim furrowed and dismissed him, "I have a meeting with Dale. We will talk about it when I return.""I got it, Boss," he said and returned to his room.Tim lay on the bed, breathed heavily, and asked himself, "What is wrong with this girl? Sacking her would not favor me otherwise, I would have done that."He thought for a while and resolved, "I know what to do?"Likewise, he rested for a while and got up. At that time, he heard Richard's car and tried
To Valentine, Tim may sound boastful but Ambrose knew better. "What do you think, Ambrose? Do we employ another person for that?" Richard asked him."No, Major. I can handle it."He faced Tim, smiled, and undertook, "I got it, Boss. We won't let the Third in Command down.""If you say so.""That is good to hear. Let's see the farmers," Richard said and moved.They followed him at once and walked to the farm. Since the incident of Monday, the farmers had not seen Tim and Richard. They stopped work when they saw them and greeted them accordingly."Good afternoon to you all," they responded simultaneously.Tim stepped aside and Richard addressed them, "Thank you all for your patience."Meanwhile, George, the General Manager, and the team arrived and parked beside the clunker. They got out of the car immediately and George tried to walk to the estate."They are at the farm, Major," one of the security guards informed him after the salutations."Thank you for informing me," he said and mo
At The Complex At lunch, Laura was not back, and Barbara took the initiative. She informed the Corporal of her intentions to be away for lunch and left. She returned at once with her packed food and ate in the cubicle. George and Bright met the General Manager in the elevator and informed him of the arrival of the machines."That is good to hear. I would love to see them. Or what do you think?""I planned to visit there after lunch. We can go together then," he declared.Now, the elevator door opened and they walked out."That is better," the General Manager said and they walked on.Soon, they were at the canteen. They had the meal happily and avoided discussing their proposed visit to the mining field. Their reasons were simple - to avoid luring the other managers from volunteering to come with them. Afterward, they returned to their offices and hoped to leave at 2 PM.Nevertheless, the exhausted Laura returned a few minutes before 2 PM. As for lunch, she was aware that she had miss
At Mount Olive "Kindly get your attorney, Young lady," the officer advised Laura."I was wrong, Officer. I shouldn't have missed my way," she declared, concealing her motive for visiting the palace.The officer pouted, gave her the statement paper, and said, "Write all you could remember about the incident here."Now, she was conscious of her office and afraid that she might be too late to work. She looked at the time and it was a few minutes before 9 AM.'Barbara would be happy to see me punished if I am late to work,' she lamented and began to write her statement quickly."I'm through, Officer," she showed her the statement and announced.She collected it, looked through it, and informed her, "The DPO is in a meeting. I will submit it to him after that."Instantly, she began to fidget and asked her, "Huh! When will that be? I should be in my office."She paid no heed to her question and simply said, "Kindly wait at the reception.""Hey! I'm in trouble," she exclaimed, got up and w
She saw herself walking into the palace and was covered with sweat immediately. The officer was calm and watching the television as well. She switched her look from the television to the officer. When she got to the point, she said, 'I'm in the wrong place,' she looked down and pursed her lips to suppress her nervousness.'Ella must have done this. The Duke does not know my house and could not have gotten my address,' she thought.The officer picked up her form and looked at it. Without any signs of anger, she said, "Your workplace on the form is different from what you said in the footage."'Why can't I get it right? Why can't I get what I want?' she asked herself in low spirits."Did you get my question?" The officer asked her when she failed to answer her."I apologize, officer. We can talk it over," she pleaded, hoping to bribe her.At Tim's House "Just calm down. Everything will be sorted out shortly," Tim advised Richard and they began to wait."Do you mind breakfast?"
