“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

“Good morning, Capt. Miles,” he saluted him.He returned the salute and George explained, “I have brought the arms. Kindly get some of your workers to offload them.”“Okay, Sergeant,” he said and followed him to the bus.He beckoned to the security guard at the entrance and ordered, “Get the arms from the bus.”George looked at his face and asked, “Where are the others? He can't do that alone.”“He can. How many arms are there that he could not offload alone?”George did not bother to say much but opened the door for him.“Ha!” The Captain exclaimed when he noticed that the bus was filled with arms and the window blinds concealed everything.George left him in his befuddled state and joined Tim in the front seat.“When did they produce these arms?” He asked himself.He looked at the security guard and instructed him, “Get ten men from the workshop.”“Okay, Captain,” he accepted and ran off.At Tim's HouseThey left the complex afterward and had their breakfast. George walked to the foy

They pushed us out of their way,” he confirmed. Now, the man's wife had joined him and was wawed by what she saw.“The man must be mysterious,” she pointed out.“They are three in the bus.”“Wow!”Tim opened his door and got out of his car. Richard and George did the same thing. Tim walked up to the couple and greeted them, “Good morning to you.”They were mute and looked at them one after the other. They perceived that they were important people when they saw the Major.“Good morning, to you,” Richard greeted them in case they did not hear Tim.“It is afternoon,” the man declared and George looked at his wristwatch, and it was truly afternoon.“It is past 1 PM,” he looked at Tim and declared.“My goodness! How did we get here, Sir?” Tim asked anxiously.“You have been driving for over three hours.”“Three hours? I can't remember.”“Yes. We followed you when you veered off the main road and joined the wrong one.”“This is serious. I can't remember …"“You must have slept off.”“That's

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.

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.

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
