Samuel looked at Tim who was already eating for his opinion but his face was void of expression. He looked back at George and accepted, “That will be fine. At least I can raise my school fees before the end of the holidays.”

The two laughed at him and he was amazed.

“You don't even know how much you would be paid,” Tim stated and he was shy.

They had their breakfast quickly and afterward, George took Samuel to the basement and instructed him, “For your test, write out the names of the raw materials we have here. You are free to ask questions if you are in doubt.”

“Okay, Big Brother. I will call you when I'm confused,” he accepted but George who was walking briskly to join Tim disagreed with him.

“That is not what I mean. You can ask anyone around,” he said and joined Tim.

“I got it, Big Brother.”

He stood aside and watched them as they got into the car.

“See you later,” he said not knowing whether he was happy.

“Later. Take care,” they responded simultaneously.

    When he arrived, he requested, “Get a plate of soup for me.”“I'm sorry to inform you, Captain. It is finished,” the waiter said to avoid Ella's wrath.George smiled broadly at his good fortune and the Accountant looked around before he asked, “How come? How many people did you serve before it finished?”Their discussion was halted by the President's broadcast and everyone paid attention.(I, Gen. Felix Richmond, the Head of State and the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of Canterbury, my Second and Third in Command wish to call the attention of the United Nations to the barbaric art of my fellow Head of State, Field Marshal Brian Foxe - the Head of State of Kings Land. I considered it absurd, barbaric, and repulsive to sneak into my country and attack a young soldier who was going about his duty. This is unacceptable to me and I wish that he should tender apologies to the young soldier in particular and Canterbury as a whole. Thank you for listening.)At that point, the manager

    “It is all right. I'm glad that he got what he deserved. A small country has defeated him,” Bright pointed out.“I'm happy that you are seeing it that way. What would you have done if you knew that I was attacked?”George's question took him unawares but he answered based on his emotions, “I would have killed him with my bare hands.”“Ha! Can you kill a Field Marshal with your bare hands?”Bright recalled himself and only laughed. He left afterward and George gave his visit a thought.“What has changed? Cecilia never loved my dad and me but Ella loved him unconditionally while Bright and others love me too.”At The CanteenAfter Ella left the old man, she was encumbered with how to break the news of additional soup for George.“I hope the Supervisor will understand,” she mumbled and got out of the bus.“Welcome back, Ella. There is an emergency,” the supervisor informed her.“Thank you, Supervisor. If I may ask, what is the emergency?”“Sgt. Young wished to give the managers a treat a

    He scanned him before he answered and offered them seats.“Thank you, Captain,” Richard appreciated him and they sat down.“This is Valentine. Sgt. Young …?”“Yes, Maj. Bowen. He has informed me of him,” he said.“I see,” Richard smiled and he faced Valentine.“I have checked the market value of your car and I am certain that you have done the same.”Valentine shamefacedly looked down and answered, “No, Captain. I have not.”“That won't be an issue. You can look it up on the internet,” the Accountant said and focused on him.He was shy to inform him that his phone was confiscated by George on the day of the fight. Richard who was familiar with his story smiled and intervened.“Let's go by your discovery, Captain. He will accept your offer.”“It is all right. Can I have your account details?”“I don't want the payment into my account. That will require me to go to the bank. Kindly pay it to the orphanage as a support for the upcoming anniversary.”The Accountant smiled and accepted, “I

    He focused on George with so many thoughts racing through his mind. Prominent among them was regretting sending him to the Defense Academy. It was his last option when he was hiding him from Cecilia especially when his health condition was not stable.“I got you, Young man. Don't allow them to pull you down. Okay?” He advised them.“We will not,” they answered simultaneously and continued with their dinner.After a long silence, the old man inquired, “I hope he did not hurt you?”“Not at all, Dad.”“That is good to hear.”Tim laughed inwardly at his selfishness and continued eating. They continued eating silently until they were through and showed appreciation accordingly. George took his prescription while everyone watched him.“You will be fine,” Tim assured him and he nodded in admittance. While they were resting and watching the television in the parlor, Samuel leaned closer to George and whispered, “Big brother, can I submit my assignment now for your assessment?”“Sure. Get it,

    The promise spoke about her family problem and she pitched her tenth there. She began to chat with the organization which assigned a Counselor to her. After narrating her story, the Counselor informed her that she was at the right place.She was delighted to know that and inquired further, (How will you solve my problem? You are not in my organization.)(That is a good question. If you appease the earth, we will solve your problem by conjuring the earth's elements. In your case, we will penetrate your organization by connecting with one of the elements which is the sand, and disturb the peace of the leadership until they overlook your case.)On hearing 'overlook', she was enraptured and continued chatting with the Counselor.(That is good to hear. Can we start now? I will be glad if they overlook the petition.)(Yes, we can. Are you ready to appease the earth?)“Sure. If you tell me what it entails.”“That is good.

    Now, a security man from the gate had joined them and faced the other person.“Get down on your knees,” he shouted and the soldier looked at their leader for his opinion.“You are not entitled to do this to your guests. Is that how you treat a guest in your country?” Intimidation asked.While the soldier was delaying, the security officer roared, “Did you hear me? Go down on your knees.”He reluctantly knelt and focused on a confused Intimidation.“Say something, Intimidation,” the first soldier looked at him and requested.Now, Tim's face beamed at the revelation and he looked at the leader of the group.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    "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?"
