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
George remembered his discussion with Tim a few days ago (Do you want your stepfather to live or do you believe in a witch?)He also remembered Brig. Dale's teaching is not to extend courtesies to someone who is out to kill him. Instantly, an untold courage surged in him.“You cannot stop me. Let's go, Boss,” he said and walked on.The witch felt slighted and walked briskly to block them.“Stay out of the way, or I shoot you,” Richard barked but she ignored him and blocked them.She raised her wand to hit George but Tim grabbed it and hit it on her head and she staggered backward. “Ha!” She exclaimed and looked into Tim's eyes.At that point, some wandering albatrosses flew to them and Tim held George tighter and assured him, “Don't be scared.”“Can I shoot them?” Richard asked.“No, don't,” Tim advised him.The witch saw them and roared, “What are you doing here? This is my territory?”One of the birds flew to her and before she could defend herself, it flapped its wings on her face
Tim drove off hastily because the day was gone and he wished to take the Old Man to the hospital. “We will call Mr. Robbie and his wife later and thank them, Richard,” Tim informed the Major.“I got it, Boss.”Meanwhile, Mr. Robbie was a Civil Engineer and had been out of work for some months after his company packed up. The company was a leading one in the country but when they could not get contracts, things became difficult, and they folded. He was disturbed when his colleagues were hired by other construction companies and he was left behind.At that point, he attributed his predicaments to spirituality and resolved to seek spiritual help to find a solution. “This is not ordinary, Debbie. I think I have been hexed,” he often told his wife. She would smile and discourage him from that, “That is weird. How can you think of that, Mark?”When the problem lingered, she was forced to believe her husband. She observed that he was getting depressed due to sadness and unfulfillment.“I
The doctor looked at George askance before he looked at the old man again. He smiled broadly at him to make him feel free with him and he smiled back. George was confused at their rapport and felt like a liar.“What is the matter with you?” He asked jovially. “I have been bedridden for some years. I can't talk, hear or walk.”“You cannot hear or talk? But you can hear me and you are talking to me.”“I did that for the first time a few hours ago.”The doctor showed surprise and looked at George for confirmation.“He is right, doctor.”He pulled down his eyelids and confirmed that he had never been ill.“Can you, walk?”“No, doctor,” he answered sharply.The doctor examined his leg and did not see any sign of limpness.“Sit up,” the doctor requested and George tried to assist him but he stopped him.“Let's see if he can get up by himself.”“It is okay,” George said and stepped back and focused on him.They watched him get up gradually until he sat down.“Wow!” George exclaimed. The do
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?" Tim off
