The Return of General Williams 94. Pay Back Time 26
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

Tim cut the call and Richard laughed.“You are in trouble, Richard,” he teased him.“I hope he won't bore me with calls,” Richard pointed out. “He won't if he gets a job and becomes busy.”“Okay, Boss,” he responded and tried to get up.His phone rang and he looked at the caller. He smiled broadly and stated, “He is calling again.”“Let me speak with him.”“But you have not talked to me on his behalf,” Richard teased before handing the phone to him and they laughed mildly.Tim picked up the call and Mark requested, “I apologize for bothering you, Major. Kindly give …"“You are talking to the driver,” Tim interrupted him and stated.“Okay. Have you spoken with him on my behalf? What did he say?” He asked desperately.“Yes, I have. He …"He excitedly interrupted Tim and praised him, “Thank you for that. If I may ask, what did he say?”“He asked you to take your resume to the President of the Auxiliary Armory PLC tomorrow.”“Huh, will I be able to access the company? The security will no

“That is the question. We concluded that she was under when she wrote the exam because she was battling with her miscarriage and divorce issues.” “So, what do want?” George asked without emotions. “If you permit us, we could alter her result so that she could score at least forty-five percent …”“No, Capt. Jaja. Publish the results as they are. If the management wishes to consider her, it would be on compassionate grounds. That's my opinion.”“Your opinion is right.”“If you think so. But let's seek the opinions of the other managers.”“I will do that.”“It is okay. Meet with them quickly and let me know their opinions.”“Okay.”He watched him leave and mumbled, “So, she was married and divorced? She wants me dead because of her predicaments. We shall see.”At Tim's HouseHe had been monitoring George and was happy with his work. He was thrilled to hear that Laura failed woefully and logged out.“This has made my day,” he said and got up to stretch his legs.Meanwhile, he was aware t

While in the toilet, Laura started to cry in pain until there was no energy left in her. Apart from the pain in her heart, her stomach was upset and she had to empty her rectum. To her chagrin, the sound from her anus was so loud. “Hey!” She exclaimed and feared that it could be heard by Gilbert and the visitor.Although, they did not hear the sound the stench was too strong and it filled the office. Gilbert searched the visitor's countenance and noticed that he was uncomfortable. Without words, he got up and began to open the windows.“This girl will not kill us,” he murmured.At last, she pulled herself together and got out of the toilet with an inquisitive look. She did not need a prophet to tell her that she polluted the air when she saw the disconcerted look on Mark's face while Gilbert was spraying the office with an air freshener.She swallowed hard and walked back to her seat. When she thought that she could cope with the embarrassment, the Personnel and Maintenance Managers

At The Auxiliary Armory PLCAfter the Captains left, George walked to the Sales Manager's office to ensure that they were through with the sales. “How did it go, Captain?”“It went well. We are expecting the confirmation of the deliveries from them.”“It is all right. Please notify me after you confirm with them. We need to broadcast the sales to attract more buyers.”“I got it, Sgt Young.”Before lunch, he collected the documents for the change of signatories from the Accountant and the offer letter and left.At The CanteenIt was a celebration galore for the staff members who scaled through the Aptitude Test. They did not mind the presence of the Captains as they talked loudly about their success.“Congratulations, Stephanie.”“Congratulations to us, Mary. The questions are cheap and I don't expect that anyone would fail,” Stephanie pointed out probably because she did not observe from the result sheet that Laura failed woefully.Nevertheless, the written application was part of th

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?

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.
