“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.

“This is serious. How can they be waiting for a witch?” Richard asked after collecting his phone from him. Tim smiled dryly and elucidated, “He is desperate. It is like he has employment issues.”“Can she give him a job? If she could, she would have helped herself?” Richard pointed out.“That is it. When one is desperate, they don't consider that.”“You are right.”“Remind me to call him tomorrow to discuss his employment. I wish to find out more about it.”“It's okay, Boss. They are nice people.”“You got it. Share the video with me.”“It is all right. I will do it right now.”Richard left afterward and he went to George's room to see how far he had gone with his father.“Ha! You did a good job, George by taking care of him quickly,” he praised him.George smiled and informed him, “Collins and the others assisted me,” he informed him.He took his seat on the couch and complimented them, “That is nice of them.”Likewise, he looked at the old man who was lying on the bed and asked, “H

The other workers laughed out loud and she showed guilt. The thought that whether she did well or not was insignificant when she had the backing of the Head of State and the President. “Just watch and see,” she stated and walked to the elevator. She got out of the elevator with a scowl on her face and the Corporals at the door were uneasy.“Good morning, Miss Dickson,” they greeted her one after the other.“Morning,” she answered perfunctorily and walked in.“Gilbert will stop coming to this office from this day forward,” she concluded within her and pushed the President's door open.To her thunderbolt, she got a hard slap from George that left her reeling.“How dare you barge into my office? Get out,” he barked and pointed at the door.“My eyes!” she placed her hand on her eyes and shouted in anguish.At that point, she jolted and discovered that she had been in a dreamland.“Oh!” she got up and hissed, “This pain in the ass again.”Sunday - Tim's HouseIt was a joyous morning for

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.

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

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.

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.
