He walked to the pantry while they continued with their discussions.

“What is your name, Cadet?”

“My name is Samuel, Your Excellency.”

“Fine name. What about your brother?”

“His name is Gerald.”

“Good. How old are you?”

“I'm sixteen years old.”

“Ha! Sixteen years? And you were on a suicide mission because of your brother-in-law?”

Samuel looked down and he encouraged him, “Don't be shy. That is one of the attributes of a soldier. Dying for a good course.”

“Thank you for the compliment.”

“You are welcome. Keep it up.”

“I will.”

While they were discussing, Gerald returned with four cups of tea and His Excellency studied his service.

“Have you worked before, Gerald?”

“Not at all, Your Excellency,” he answered and took his seat.

“That is interesting. How do you intend to spend your months' holidays?”

“I would not mind a part-time job if I see one.”

“That is good,” he said and faced Tim.

“What are your plans for him?” He asked.

    George was emotionally moved. Tim noticed it but waited for his input.Afterward, he spoke, “We are lucky not to be in his shoes. Anyone can be a victim of a misguided decision.”“You are right. What do you think? It may be difficult to get a buyer for a car that must have been stolen.”“You are right. Otherwise, I would have asked the Accountant to auction it.”“That may take long. He needs the money urgently.”“Urgently? Why?”“He wished to donate it to the orphanage to support the upcoming anniversary.”“That is a big one. Can we buy it? I think we are the only ones who can buy it within a short notice.”“You are right. I will ask Richard to inform him tomorrow.”While they were discussing, the war news came up and they paused. They saw the Field Marshal giving a real fire and brimstone threat.“When Kings Land sneezes, the world catches cold and Oregany goes into hiding.

    At The Mining FieldsTim decided to work from home. For that, Richard and another soldier went to the complex and picked Valentine up. He was disillusioned with the arrangement and did not believe that the Major had not planned to kill him on the way. If only he was aware that Tim, whom he believed was on his side was more dangerous than Richard, he would have calmed down.“What of the driver?” He asked after a long silence.Richard just realized the impact that Tim's absence had on him and allayed his fears.“He is busy with other things. You will meet the Boss for the payment of your car today.”He cheered up a bit and asked, “So soon? Who is the buyer?”“The company.”“Ha. Does Sgt. Young approve of it?”“Who else would have done that?”“Oh, my God. Does he like me? I mean has he forgiven me?”Richard ignored him and drove on. Nevertheless, Valentine decided to maintain his limit. Shortly, they were at the field.With the lunch, they would work until the close of work.At Tim's Hou

Let's hear it please.”“My boy had an encounter with a criminal and ….”The Second in Command was listening attentively and was glad that the story ended in repentance.“His repentance is the best that would happen to him otherwise, he would have been in for it.”“You are right. He is with the miners at the field and happy to do a legitimate job for the first time in his life.”“That is good to hear. We can fish out other criminals through him.”“That is my plan. Meanwhile, he planned to sell his car and donate the money to the orphanage.”“Wow! I hope he is not trying to deceive you with this gesture.”“Well. He will only have himself to blame. I have my eyes on him.”“It is all right,” he

    The phone's speaker was not on but Samuel heard enough to know that George was controlling the affairs of the organization with military precision.“I want to be like George when I grow up, Brother-in-law,” he declared confidently and Tim was flabbergasted.“Why did you say that?” He looked into his eyes and asked.“He is intrepid - not afraid of anything.”“I like that. You will be the bravest soldier of your time.”“Thank you, Brother-in-law. I will not let you down.”At that moment, his phone beeped, and he looked at it. He smiled softly when he noticed that it was a message from George. He punched on it immediately and was wowed by the pictures.At The ComplexGeorge did not know that the few seconds of discussion he had with Gen. Awe was a potion of courage - an overdose at that. It had opened a canworm and complicated things for the Field Marshal.

    Tim was engrossed in watching the lovebirds in the garden. Although he could not hear them he could see the dreamy state of their eyes. He was distraught when the janitor walked in through the slightly ajar door and distracted them.“I am back, Boss,” he announced dutifully and stretched out the acknowledgment copy.Tim searched his countenance for any clues on Mr. Dickson's reaction when he got the letter but got none.“I see. Who did you give the letter?” He asked and collected the copy.“One of the soldiers said he was sleeping and collected it on behalf of his boss.”He quickly looked at the name and signature of the receiver and recognized him as one of the security guards.“It's okay. You can leave,” he said and the janitor paid obeisance and left.Tim looked at the surveillance again and saw the lovebirds laughing happily and was infested. He laughed too and asked himself, “When did they realize that they love each other?”Now, it was time to leave and the old man walked her t

    He opened the door for them and they got out one after the other without appreciation. Nevertheless, they were unaware that he was Sgt. Young until that time.“Good afternoon, Sgt. Young,” the Corporal at the door saluted him, and their eyes beamed in excitement.“Good afternoon,” he returned the salute and walked towards the automatic glass door and his officers followed him.To his surprise, the guests were transfixed.“Kindly come in, Field Marshal,” he turned back and pleaded.Whether they were aware that he slapped Sgt.

Hanklin's career?” He asked with a low tone and looked at Jerry and his men who were standing aside.“I thought he was the Sales Manager. How come he is not reacting?” the minister asked him and go

    All the same, he was happy that he cheered Bright up.Laura whose embargo on eating in the canteen would end that day, was eating in the lobby. She was ashamed of herself when she saw George's confidence. She focused on the television with her mouth agape."What is giving this boy so much confidence? Could he be the Third in Command and the President as Dad said?" She mulled over.The thought that George could be her president weakened her and stole her appetite."How will I get a husband to marry? All my efforts are failing," she said in despair.Now, she lost her appetite, stopped eating, and covered her flask. To keep herself busy until the break was over, she picked up her phone. She was not surprised when George's story popped up and grimaced. She read the comments by some ladies about George and was jealous."Imagine that? What about us?" She asked herself.At The Dome Vincent woke up and was idle - the lifestyle he hated most. Previously, he would have been on the road and wou

    At Raino Airport The team landed after seven hours. They looked at the General, who was sleeping soundly, and wondered what to do."I can wake him up," Richard volunteered and did.George got out of the aircraft by walking confidently down the staircase followed by Jerry and Silas. 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. The reporters were disappointed. They thought they would walk to the lobby and grant them an interview. Since they did not, they ran after them. When they caught up with him, they began their interview, "Welcome to Rai

    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. "Eat your food," he encouraged him.Samuel was startled by his voice and looked up. He smiled dryly when he saw him and said, "Okay."He watched him as he finished his food and got up.Now, everyone was out of the mess room and walking to their classrooms. It was time to speak on the broadcast."Maj. Young would have separated his head from his neck. Foolish man.""I don't know why they hate us.""What was the driver's offense?""I wish I knew.

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 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.
