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.

    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

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.

    “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.

    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

McDonald and informed him that he would be with him soon and he agreed. Nevertheless, he recalled that Laura had not called him and called the General back.“Hello, Gen. Williams. Did you forget anything?” Gen. McDonald asked.“Yes. Did you give the secretary my contact?”“Yes. I did.”“It's all right. See you later.”“Okay.”Nevertheless, after about thirty minutes, he saw George and a man in a corporate outfit walking happily out of the bank. The man showed worries when he tried to cross to the other side of the road.“Where did you park your car?” He asked curiously.“Across the street.”“Oh! Why, if I may ask?”“The security guard asked me to park there,” George reported innocently.The Manager gave the Head of the security guards a hateful look and wondered why he should ask such a high-profile custom

At that point, many media houses had their beam lights on him. After them, the next person they saw was a disheveled Gen. Anderson, who was in cuffs. Richard guided him until he stepped on the last staircase. Tim got out, too, and adjusted his cross bag.George led them until they got to the tarmac. Before Gen. Anderson crossed, Richard unlocked the cuffs and retrieved them. He gave him an arm salute and as usual, he ignored him.Before they could turn, a Raino soldier cuffed him at once.

    At The Canterbury Defense Academy The cadets were in the mess room having their breakfast when they were watching the broadcast. Gerald and Samuel became cold at once but concealed it. Although they were still with their phones, they could not call Tim or George for fear of being reprimanded for disturbing them. Gerald ate his food as though he was not disturbed. Afterward, he walked to Samuel's section and met him staring at his food and lost in thought. Despite that, he would do nothing; his presence could assuage his anxieties.

    At Tim's House George can take everything but not coming home and not meeting Tim. His countenance changed when Collins stopped in front of the foyer and he got out of the car. They saluted him accordingly and he returned the salute. He walked into the parlor and was disturbed by a message. He checked out for the sender and sat down when he noticed that it was from his father.He punched the message and smiled when he saw the picture of the car."Beautiful," he said and admired it.He read the message and was happy with their progress."Wow!

I have found the person I love and I am getting married. That is it.""Ha, Ella. I can't believe that you are talking about marriage. How is the man?"

He heard everything you said about him."Before her mother could react, she handed the phone over to the old man. He looked at her happy face before he spoke."Good day, Mother-in-law. I am pleased to speak with you."'So it is true?' she mumbled before she greeted him, "Good day, my in-law. I'm happy to hear from you. How are you?""I'm good. And you?""We a

When Tim stopped, he was hesitant to get out of the car."Here we are," Richard said and got out of the car.He expected him to do the same thing.

He pushed the door and walked in at once and the others followed.Dr. Rochford was startled and he looked up. He was frightened to see three high-ranking soldiers with unhappy faces. Meanwhile, Vincent woke up when the door creaked and focused on the soldiers. He suspected that they had come for him and sat up. To get the truth from him, Tim smiled broadly, and Dr. Rochford, who they did not recognize,e, was surprised to see that for the first time."Good morning, Vincent," he greeted him.On hearing his first name, he assumed tha

    A broad smile flickered across his lips and he mumbled, "That little boy of yesterday is now taking care of his father. I can't believe it."He looked at Ella, who was sleeping soundly beside him, and his eyes were wet with tears of joy.Thereupon, he began to count his blessings, "The Lord has rewarded me according to my heart's desires because He has seen the cleanness of my hands.

What else will I ask from God?"Afterward, he sent a message to Tim and informed him of the allocation. He tossed his phone aside and bent to kiss Ella's temple.

He asked himself and picked up his phone."Mr. Watson," he said and looked at Ella who was waiting to know the caller."The car dealer," he explained and picked up the call."Hello, Mr. Watson.""Good day, Your Grace.

    Meanwhile, George was bitter that he addressed him wrongly and would not allow him to go without being reprimanded. He smiled dryly and answered him, "Not immediately, Gen. Anderson. I will do that after I get justice for the taxi driver you wished to strangle to death."Before that time, he was not aware that he was discovered. Subsequently, he was distressed and wished to die. Just like in a movie scene, he began to faint, but Valentine, who was about to lock the tailgate, grabbed him. Cpl. Barton and Jerry noticed it, walked to him, and helped to steady him."You can't die now," George snarled and gave him a hate look before they walked him to his cell. Richard followed him and unlocked the cuffs and got them back for Tim. He did the same thing for the other suspects and joined the General Manager and George."This is unbelievable," the General Manager pointed out."Just imagine that. Who would suspect that he was hiding there?" Richard responded."See you later," Richard said an

    To avoid more questions, he got up and requested for lunch."Kindly find out if Francis is through with the lunch.""Oh!
