Although he did not explain much, his facial expressions were encouraging.“Thank you, Doctor,” Tim appreciated him and he noticed that his clothes were stained as well.“Consider it as nothing,” he said and walked back to his office to mull over the incident.“Why are they talking about him as if his case was pathetic?” He asked himself.Meanwhile, after he left, they walked back to their seats and sat down. Tim looked at George and advised him, “You can take everyone home. Richard and I can wait.”“Yes. The celebrant may be too exhausted,” Richard added.George breathed in and out and answered, “We will wait. I don't even know the boy's parents.”“How is he?” The old man who just walked in asked them.They looked up and only Tim could find his bearings.“The doctor said he will be fine,” he informed him.The old man understood the hopelessness of his answer and exclaimed, “Huh!”Nevertheless, he sat on a single chair and began to wait like them. Not long after, the General Manager w
In The Evening - At Tim's HouseAfter they left the clinic, they returned home but were exhausted.“Congratulations once again, Samuel. You did well,” the old man praised him and he was elated.“Thank you so much for your compliment, Old man. It wasn't easy at the initial stage.”“You got it. It wasn't easy for everyone. We thought you would be too shy to give your opening remark,” Gerald added.“He picked up courage when he got to the podium,” George explained.“You did well. You need to rest your head for now. Did you get me?”“Yes, Brother-in-law. Thank you for making this day a memorable one,” he appreciated Tim. He smiled, spread his hands apart and Samuel walked into them. They hugged each other tightly for a while before he whispered, “I'm delighted to be part of your happiness.”Afterward, he released him, and they retired to their rooms one after the other. Nevertheless, the old man could not wait to hear from Ella. Therefore, before he pulled off his clothes, he called her.
At RakaiaTim and Richard left the house earlier than normal, picked up Valentine from the complex, and left.“They may leave for their farms if we don't get there earlier,” Tim announced while they were on the way.“You are right,” they responded simultaneously.They arrived at a few minutes past 7 AM and he parked at the same spot as the other day.“Kindly check on Pa Suresh. The family that Gerald and Samuel visited the last time we came,” Tim faced Richard and informed him.“I got it,” he answered and opened the door.“Go with him, Valentine,” he advised him and he complied.Pa Suresh and his family were ready to leave for the farm when they saw a soldier and a civilian in front of their house. After the event of the last Saturday, he acquired many enemies, especially among the youths. Unknown to them, he was just lucky to be part of the event. Nevertheless, he was not afraid anymore to see soldiers.“Good morning, Major. Good morning, Sir,” he answered after they greeted him.The
“Good morning, Major,” they saluted him accordingly.He responded and cut the salute. He looked at the bus and saw the driver coming out after he had parked his bus properly.“Good morning, Major,” he greeted him respectfully.“Good morning,” he responded and looked at him askance.“The General asked me to give this to you.”Richard stretched his hand and collected it.“Thank you for this,” he appreciated him and faced the inhabitants.“As I was saying, if you have not worked before, you are not disqualified. Did you get me?”“Yes, Major,” they responded loudly.“That is good. If you hear your name, get on the bus. We are taking you to your workplace.”“Okay, Major,” only a few responded while the liars' hearts' sank.Without minding their looks, he started calling out their names, and they got into the bus. Nevertheless, the liars realized that after everything, the chaff must be separated from the wheat and tried to leave.Richard looked at the two soldiers and ordered, “No one leav
At The Auxiliary Armory PLCAfter the Management Meeting that morning, Bright called Stephanie and requested, “I wish to use your bank for a payment. My bank charges so much on withdrawals.”“My bank does the same thing. They are all the same.”“I don't think so. Yours is better. Can I have the details?”“If you insist you will get the same result,” she said and shared her details with him.“Settled,” he said with a triumphant grin.Soon, he got a call from the gate that a vendor wished to deliver a phone.“It is all right,” he said and asked Gilbert to go and receive it.Before lunch, he had taken care of many things and left for the canteen earlier than usual to settle the issue of the remaining gifts.“The kitchen staff members should be considered first,” Stephanie pointed out.“You are right. Otherwise, they won't serve us lunch,” Bright teased.They gave the ten kitchen staff members theirs and were left with forty. Meanwhile, Laura avoided going to the canteen before Barbara be
At The FieldTim read through Mr. Kennedy's message and smiled broadly. He was not happy that he was not invited to the celebration. Tim exonerated himself and replied (I will inform my boss. It must have escaped his memory.)(I see. Kindly inform him that I wish his little brother a Happy Birthday celebration.)(I will.)(If he can share the boy's account details, I will send my widow's mite.)(Wow! That is nice of you. I will let him know.)He was still chatting with the President when Valentine led the inhabitants to the bus for lunch. Naturally, he had taken the leadership of the group.To Richard and Tim's delight, they were happy including the three girls.“Assist the bus driver to give them their lunch,” Richard instructed him.“I got it, Major,” he said and walked away.“Come with me,” he informed them and they followed him.They got to the bus and he handed their lunch packs to them. They appreciated him joyously and began to eat. Afterward, he took two packs to Tim and Richa
Reuben understood what he meant and moved immediately. In a jiffy, he was in the lobby and before the elevator. He pressed the button and began to wait. At that point, he felt that the elevator was too slow and was tempted to use the staircase. To his delight, the gates opened earlier than he expected and he got in. He alighted on the tenth floor and searched the faces of the soldiers at the door, but he got no clue as to what awaited him. All the same, he greeted them and walked into the office.Bright saw him and recalled that George said 'I want to compensate a driver.' He smiled softly and asked him, “You intend to see the President, right?”“Yes, Secretary.”“Good. You can go in and see him.”Reuben cleaned the sweat on his forehead and appreciated him, “Thank you, so much, Secretary.”He opened the door, walked in, and scanned George before he greeted him, “Good day, General.”Without much ado, he said, “Take this. It is your compensation for sacrificing your breakfast for work.
At Laura's HouseShe returned with her disfigured face and her parents were awestruck. She explained how the canteen attendant gave souvenirs to every member of staff and refused to give her.“What do they have with you in that organization? Why won't he give you your own?”“I don't know for him.”“Is that why you fought?” Her mother asked her.“No, Mom. I only asked him of my own and he slapped and pushed me down.”“Ha! Pushed you down? Does he wish to kill you?”“I don't know for him, Dad.”“It is all right. You need to see a doctor,” her mother proposed but she would not want to see Dr. Robinson.“Not at all, Mom. I will be fine.”“It is all right. I maintain that you should be careful. You should have ignored the worthless souvenir.”“It is not worthless, Mom. It is the one for Sgt. Young's little brother. I would have been remembering Samuel with ….”She hardly completed her story before she began to cry and her parents were affected.At RakaiaValentine and the soldiers were int
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. He wished t
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! He has spoken with his parents-in-law. That is good," he pointed out.He vacillated over calling Tim to find out his whereabouts."He may be too busy, and I don't want to disturb him," he said, got up, and headed to his room.After changing his clothes, he laid on the bed for a nap. He woke up a few minutes before 6 PM and concluded that he was back. He was about to leave his room when he got a call from him. He picked it up anxiously and greet
"Yes, Mom and Dad. We indicated our interest to get married today.""Wow! I thought you would never marry, Ella," her mother teased her.She laughed softly and responded, "It is not so, Mom. 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?" Her mother asked her curiously."Is the man handsome?" Her father asked her jokingly and she laughed aloud."I can't wait to see the man who is worthy of your love," her mother added."We shall see. Speak with my husband," she said."Are you with him?" Her mother anxiously asked her."Yes, Mom. 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
At The Christchurch DomeVincent was only following them like a sheep being led to the slaughter. Left for him, he would love to be with his family. 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. When he did not, he opened the door for him and said, "Come out."He obeyed and he shut the door. He led him to the foyer while Tim called the Second in Command.When he picked up the call, he greeted him, "Good evening, Tim. What's up.""Good evening, Your Excellency. Are you still in the office?""No.""It is okay. I took the driver away from the hospital. Dr. Morgan was responsible for the mix-up.""Oh, my God! Where are you?""I'm at the Dome. He is safer here.""Wait for me. I'm still around.""It's all right," he said and the call ended.He got out of the car and joined the two in the foyer. Incidentally, Vincent's phone rang, and he tried to pick up the call."For now, no calls until we
Nevertheless, the media crew parked in front of the hospital and waited for instructions from the Minister."I will let you know what to do," he informed them."We got it, Boss," they answered him simultaneously.The three of them followed Tim who was leading the way. At that time, he had ensured that his secret camera was on.Instead of seeing Dr. Morgan in his office, he led them to the ward hoping to catch the caregiver or anyone responsible for the act. 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. Wonderful son and a caring wife. My Dukedom has been upgraded and restored. Above all, the Young man is there for me. 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. Suddenly, his phone rang and woke Ella from sleep."Who is this?" 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. We are close to your palace," he informed him."
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! You are famished," she said and walked away."George must have done this," he told himself.Suddenly, his phone beeped with a message and he was distracted. He looked at the sender and his face beamed with delight."Wow! The allocation," he stated joyously. Shortly after, Ella walked into the room and informed him that lunch was ready.At The Second in Command's Office While Richard and Valentine were sitting in the Hilux, Tim got into the clunker and informed him via a text that they should leave for the complex at once while he went to see the Second in Command. He acknowledged it and informed Valentine, "We are going to the complex.""I got it, Major," he said and drove off.Tim informed George to expect them before he drove behind them. He arrived at Kay's office with a sad demeanor and he prepared himself for the worst. He saluted him hurriedly and he cut th
