Tim gave George a mocking look and stated, "Someone suddenly began to miss both of you and we decided to come."George smiled shyly and Samuel declared, "We miss you too.""Yes. We have been homesick since the last time we spoke. How is work?""Work is fine, Gerald. How are your studies?" "Our studies are fine. Thank you for coming.""It is our pleasure," they responded one after the other."How is everyone at home?" Samuel asked."Everyone is fine.""That's good.""I can see that you are doing well," Tim stated."Yes, Brother-in-law.""That is good to hear. If I guess right, you will be through with your exams this coming week?""You are right.""It's all right. See you then.""Okay. Thank you for coming," Gerald said and opened the door."Brother-in-law, remember that you promised to take us to a cinema," Samuel made clear."Yes. The Silver Bird Cinema," Tim admitted and Samuel was glad that the promise was intact."If you perform better than the previous year," George strengthene

At The Secretary's Office“This is good,” he said and took his seat.He watched the video again and wrote his note.(This is to notify all staff members that no form of indiscipline will be tolerated in the organization. Anyone found wanting would be decisively dealt with. Signed: Management).He smiled cynically and shared the video. At The Front DeskBarbara was relaxing with her phone while waiting for the visitors who usually gain access into the complex at 10 AM when messages popped up. She quickly tapped on the first message and saw the General Manager's notification that Laura was no more the President's secretary and introduced Bright as the secretary.“Good riddance to bad rubbish,” she thought and glared at Laura.Afterward, she tapped on the second message which was a video and began to watch it. After watching it, she shook her head negatively and looked at Laura again. Meanwhile, she was sad and reading the email from Barr. Gibson and did not notice that she got messages
At The President's OfficeShortly after he walked into his office, Brig. Dale walked in. He stood up immediately and saluted him, “Good morning, Brig. Dale.”He returned the salute happily and they sat down.“The President said he needs the photographs and videos of today's lesson since it is our last day.”“That's good to hear. I need it too.”“It is okay by me. I will get my secretary to do that right away.”Instantly, he called on Bright and he arrived. He was about to give his phone to him when he got a message from Tim. He paused and read through it.(I am at the mall. Do you want me to get a phone for your Dad or will you do that after work? I promise I won't buy a clunker.)George smiled quietly at his promise and replied.(Thank you, for this, Boss. He won't even mind the clunker.)(Okay.)Afterward, he handed his phone to Bright and instructed him on how to use it and get high-quality video and photographs.“I got it, Boss,” he responded with glee and began.He took differen
At Laura's HouseElla got home and kept her findings to herself. She was aware that they will not believe her. Apart from that, even if he was alive, they would not be happy to hear that.“Welcome back, Ella,” Madeline greeted her and watched her remove her things from the car trunk.“Thank you, Mrs. Dickson,” she responded, covered the trunk and the driver drove off.Instantly, she pointed out, “It's like you forgot some things in the car?”“Not at all, Mrs. Dickson,” she answered and picked up a bag.Mrs. Dickson pick up another bag and followed her to the store.“What happened, Ella? Previously, you buy more than this?”“The fund that the boss gave to me was not as much as it used to be. So I got what I can afford with it.”“It's all right,” she hid her disappointment and answered.She returned to her apartment and informed her husband of the lean budget and he marvelled.“Could her salary been tampered with?” He asked anxiously.“I wish I know,” she responded and her husband was c
At Tim's HouseGeorge was happy to leave the office after the inspection of the proposed site for the mill and the collection of the proposal. Unfortunately, he got home and discovered that Tim was not at the foyer to receive him.“Huh!” He hissed while Collins drove on.His worries increased when he did not see Tim's clunker at the garage.'Where could he be? Is he not back from the mall?' He asked himself and got out of the car.“Thank you, Collins,” he said and hurried to his room to see his father.He opened the door and stood still when he saw the bed empty. After observing it for a while, he walked in and called out, “Dad.”When he did not hear any response, he pushed the door and looked in but did not see his father.“Where will he be?” He mumbled.At that point, his military might gave way and was replaced by affinity and the longing of a child. He fought back his tears when he remembered the time he was alone and without the hope of seeing his father again.To relieve himself
At Tim's Room He hardly took five steps when Hope's phone beeped with a message. He overlooked it and walked to his room, changed his wear and relaxed on the bed before he read his messages.(Yes. I'm here, Hope. Can we chat?)(I just want to update you. My informant said that the invited Head of States have acknowledged their invitations and promised to be at the event.)(That is good to hear. What next?)(The publicity for the anniversary will be on air tomorrow.)(I can't wait to see it.)(You have not said anything about your sponsor. Won't he be present?)(Just go on with your publication.)(It's all right.)Tim was euphoric when the chat ended.“I am older than you in this game,” he thought aloud.At Laura's HouseMany things like the Barrister's email, her apology video, ruined her day but the one that hit her below the belt was the privilege that George gave to Bright.“Why does he hate me so much?” She asked herself and pretended to have forgotten all she had said about him
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. The security guard who despised the clunker the day Tim bought three expensive phones at the same time just saw the car. To his dismay, he was calm and busy with his phone. Presently,
At The President's Office (I got it, Boss.) George replied.Afterward, he looked at the General Manager who was drafting the modalities for the Biannual General Meeting and informed him, "The front desk officer has not been served the query for coming to work late on Friday.""Yes. That was what brought the fight.""She must be served. I need her response before the meeting," George stated."Consider it done."Without delay, he contacted the Corporal through the intercom and he picked up the call at once."Good morning, General," he greeted him at once."It is the General Manager, Corporal. Pick the front desk officer from the lobby and take her to the gate. She should serve Miss Dickson the query.""Consider it done, Boss," he said and looked at Laura."I need her reply immediately.""I got it, Boss." At The Security Office After the call, he picked up the car keys and walked out of his office. "I will be late for work, Corporal," Laura informed him.He took no notice of her and
The driver wondered what was happening and was troubled as well. He honked at the gate man but he did not lift the bar for him. Rather, he walked to the bus and opened the door.He greeted them and informed Laura, "Miss Dickson, your attention is needed at the security office."Everyone, including the driver, turned and focused on her. She was disturbed and inquired at once, "What for?""Obey before complaining," some loud-mouthed passengers said and angered her.Despite her beautiful dress, urge to get George, and all that she was going through, she looked at one of the speakers angrily. She was about to hit one of them when the gateman shouted at her, "Hurry up and don't keep others waiting."She simply glared at the person and got out of the bus. The gateman shut the door and walked back to the bar while Laura walked into the office. He lifted the bar, and the bus driver drove in, followed by the other buses which queued behind.Nevertheless, George's team members were in the queue
At The Table Tennis CourtGeorge was full of joy and all over Tim like an over-pampered baby. Tim could feel it when they were having their lunch. At 4:40 PM, they left for the table tennis court. They saw the attendants arranging the place. Tim parked and called Kay."We are around, Your Excellency," he informed him after he picked up the call."It's all right. I am waiting for His Excellency," he responded, and his eyes widened in astonishment."It's okay," he said and ended the call.He looked at George and saw his shock."Are you scared?" He asked him."Ha! I thought we were playing with only the Second in Command.""I thought so as well. I never knew he informed the Head of State. Just be yourself. Okay?" He breathed freely and answered, "I will."Shortly after, the team arrived and parked accordingly. Tim and George got out of their vehicle and walked to them. George saluted them accordingly and they returned the salute while Tim looked on.'This is not what I planned,' he said
"I can hold it for you, Boss," Nathaniel volunteered to hold the gift he bought for George."Never mind," he said and got out of the car.He walked back to the foyer with great expectations. To his chagrin, he was not there. He swallowed hard and walked into the parlor.'He is still angry with me,' he said when he did not see him in the parlor."Take this to George," he ordered Nathaniel who was waiting for him to dismiss him."Okay, Boss," he said and collected the stuff.He walked to George's room while Tim headed to the kitchen. Sheldon, who was washing the dishes, paused and welcomed him."Has George eaten?" He asked him afterward.No, Boss.""Why?""He said he will let me know when he will eat," he explained."I see," he said and walked out.Nathaniel should have been out of George's room so that he could ask him questions about him. When he did not see him, he walked to his room.Nevertheless, when Nathaniel knocked on George's door, he thought that the knock was from Tim. He c
"I'm visiting the graveyard, Nathaniel," Tim informed the officer."I got it, Boss," he answered him."What kind of handgun do you have?""The hand cannon, Boss," he faced him and answered."It's okay, Boss," he said."Are you with the cleaning materials?" He asked him."We will hire from the workers," he answered him and drove on.Shortly after, he was at the gate of the cemetery. Meanwhile, Sheldon was confused about what to do about the breakfast. They had hardly eaten their food last night before the arguments that made them abandon it. He felt bad while trashing the food."Don't they like it?" He asked himself.After mulling over the incident, he shrugged and said, "I will prepare the breakfast all the same."Not quite long, George and his team members returned. The training gave him some relief but when he did not see Tim at the foyer, he felt bad. His feelings grew from bad to worse when he did not see his car."This is serious. So, he has gone to see her?" He asked himself an
At Tim's House After he rebuffed George and covered his duvet over his head, he felt good. He expected that he would knock on the door again but he did not. After waiting for a while, he perceived that he had returned to his room and was disappointed."I have angered him," he said and got up.He was disturbed and asked himself, "What do I do?" He picked up his phone to call him but changed his mind."He won't pick up the call. There is no need," he said to himself and dropped the idea.He turned on the television, just to keep him busy. The war film reminded him of Brig. Witherspoon and the threat from the South Coast. He pouted and picked up Gen. Hanklin's phone."Stupid country. They will learn their lesson the hard way," he said and swiped the phone.He saw a few new messages and tapped the older ones. He smiled when he saw Ambrose's suicide note to him. He was pleased to know that he had not spoken with him after he recovered."He has truly repented and loyal to Canterbury," he
Nevertheless, she succeeded in pulling her away from her father but she tried to resist her and continued to hit her husband. Suddenly, her husband pushed her and she landed on Laura."Ouch!" She screamed.At that point, Pa Dickson was favored. He got up quickly and descended on his wife. He punched her face several times while she kept shouting. Laura, who was under her, was in pain and shouting as well. "Get up from me, Mom," she shouted but her mother could not.Rather, her husband kept punching her face. When he was satisfied, he let go of her and cursed, "Stupid woman. I will teach a lesson that you will never forget."Laura pushed her mother aside and got up angrily."So, this is your plan? The two of you wished to kill me," she said, walked back to her room, and locked the door.Although Madeline was weak, she would not let her husband off the hook. As he was trying to sit back on the couch, she mustered energy. Like a wounded lion, she leaped up from the floor and swooped su
At The Complex Laura got up and walked to the door like a bulldog. The Corporal and warden gave way for her or she would have pounced on them. With that, she increased her offenses, and Jerry cashed in and whipped her legs with the horsewhip."Repeat after me, Miss Dickson. Say I will not disturb the peace of the complex again," he requested while flogging her."I will never disturb .... Hey!" She stopped and shrieked in pain.Jerry continued to flog her, and she continued to cry and repeat after him."Run for your life before I kill you. Silly girl," he shouted at her and she obeyed. George was happy to see her running out of the cell like a little mouse frightened out of the Queen's chair.She continued running towards the reception when Jerry joined George in the car and he turned on his ignition."Good job, Sergeant," he said and drove off.Nevertheless, she got to the lobby, and the new security team was surprised to see her running like a thief."What! What are you doing here?
He would have called Cpl. Simpson, who was on night duty, to release her, but it would not give him the satisfaction he wanted. Shortly after, he stormed out of his room, got the car keys from the hangar, and walked to the garage. His car alerted Collins and Jerry the moment he turned on his ignition. They walked out of the boys quarters and focused on him."We are going to the complex. Hop in if you are ready," he informed them.They were troubled and did not want to keep him longer than necessary. Jerry was on his khaki pants and camouflage shirt. Collins was putting on the same shirts upon knickers and was not comfortable with it."I will change to trousers," he said and walked away.Jerry got into the front seat, looked at George's sad face, and inquired, "I hope there's no problem?""The boss said we should release that wrench in the guard room.""Ha! You can ask the Corporal to release her," he advised him."I would have done that not until I lay my hands on her, and she would r
