At The Auxiliary Armory PLC

Laura walked back to her desk like one in a trance and took her seat. Now, she was breathing heavily and trying to put herself together.

After a while, she said, “The Corporal confused me. Why did he address him as General?”

She looked worriedly for some time before she asked, “Why is he putting on the wristwatch I gifted the President?”

At Tim's Apartment

He was happy when George returned and continued his work by reporting all the abnormalities in the office.

“Welcome back once again. You look worried,” Tim asked. He took a deep breath and pointed out, “I wonder how military staff members would come to work late. What is the difference between us and the civilians.”

Tim laughed inwardly at his bogus expectations from humans and declared, “That is human beings for you. How do you think we can curtail it?”

“By continuing to punish them. I asked the General Manager to display their names on the notice board to serve as a deterrent to others?”

“I like that.

    While the fuel was been dispensed, he got out of the car and Richard got behind the wheel while he sat on the passenger's seat. Afterward, they moved and Tim sent a message to George informing him that they were through. Most probably, he was glued to his phone and desperately waiting to hear from him. Instantly, he called him.He smiled broadly, picked up the call, and greeted him, "Hello, George. How are you?""I'm good, Boss. How did your meeting go?""It went well. We just left the meeting venue.""That is good to hear that. I wish you a safe trip back.""Thank you, for this. See you soon.""It's all right."After the call, he sent a message to the old man informing him that his trip was fruitful. Instantly, he responded. (That is good to hear. I wish you a safe trip.)(Thank you, Old man. We will talk more.)Subsequently, he faced Richard and said, "If Samuel is not her son, we will trace the other boy and recover him."Richard was confused and it bled into his expression. "I do

    At The Medical Director's Office Tim was not interested in the eighteenth year but in the seventeenth - the second sister's birth year. As soon as the doctor flipped to the page, he scanned it with his eyes. While the two were still in January, he looked out for August and began to study the gender of the three children born on the birthday and the names of their mothers. To his amazement, in addition to Stephanie's mother, Madeline's name was one of them. Not only that, she delivered a baby girl as well while Stephanie's mother had a baby boy just like the third woman.'This coincidence is too much,' he said to himself and looked on.However, he allowed the two to continue. When they got to August, he called the doctor's attention."Excuse me, Doctor. I observed something."Dr. Pascal paused and looked at him and he continued, "Can you cast your mind to the story of a man who killed his wife and two daughters and finally killed himself eight years ago?" He asked him.He was surprise

    Tim smiled softly and asked him, "What is your average birth in a year?"He shrugged and answered him, "Between between 120 to 150.""It isn't much. We can start," Richard said."It's okay," he accepted and pressed the intercom button.The secretary's voice came over and he asked her to get the birth register from the neonatal unit."I got it, Doctor," she accepted."She will be here shortly," he informed them after the call."We got it, Doctor," they answered him and began to wait.The neonatologist, Dr. Rowland Pascal was surprised to hear that the MD needed the birth register and opted to take it to him by himself. He walked in leisurely and was astonished to see the visitors. He shifted his look to the MD before he looked at them again."Good morning, Major. Good morning, Sir," he greeted them."Good morning, Doctor," they responded simultaneously.He looked at the MD and said, "You requested for this, MD. Am I right?""Yes. They wished to check our records to know where some p

    At The Dining Table George had been cold since he learned that Tim would be out of town the next day but he was unaware of him. They were eating silently until George broached the topic."What kind of case are you going to investigate in Westminster?""A case of possible child switching. I want to know whether it was deliberate or an error."Despite the importance of the investigation, George must be selfish."Richard can handle it. He can go with some of my team members," he proposed.Tim was a gifted leader and father. He would not hurt the people he loved but must be firm in discharging his duty."Kay sent me and it would be rude to delegate the task," he explained.George was weakened and he gave up. He continued to eat his food in silence. Tim was eating as well but leering at him. To mollify him, he assured him, "I won't be away for too long."He misunderstood it to mean that he would be away for a few days and asked him anxiously, "Hey! Won't you be back before lunch?""Bef

    "You have a good point. I will speak with Kay and see if he can be swapped with the manager of the dome."George hesitated before he spoke, "Since Ella is the oldest staff member, she can be elevated to the position of supervisor.""Don't think of it. She can't handle it." "Let's give it a try first.""There is no need. She may be pregnant before you know it and she would be off and on. If care is not taken, she would suffer a miscarriage due to stress.""Ha!""You don't want that, I guess.""Never.""I'm happy you got it.""I got it. Let us go by swapping him with the manager of the dome.""That is better.""I have a case to investigate at Westminster tomorrow," he informed him and studied his expressions.At Mount Olive The old man and Francis were at the junction to pick up Ella. She was exhausted when she got into the car and her husband noticed it. He drove off quickly and soon, they were at home. "Welcome back, My queen," he held her closely and said.She looked into his crav

    At The General Manager's Office.After the call, she observed that the clerk was looking at her and must have guessed the person at the other end. She was ashamed of herself but wished to have the chance to attack him and clear the air. When she found none, she created it."Why are you not looking at me?" She asked him with trouble written on her face."Ha! Must I look at you?""Do you think I love him?" She asked him with guilt written all over her face.Now, the clerk laughed euphorically but in a low tone. She smiled cynically like a troublesome child and began to wait for lunch. Soon, the GM got out of his office and announced, "I'm off for lunch.""It's okay, Boss," she said.To avoid being alone with her and getting more bashing, the clerk got up and said, "I'm going with him."Before she could answer him, he was out of the office.""Why are you scared?" she mumbled. They got into the elevator and the GM said, "Lest I forgot, inform Miss Patrick that I would like to see her by
