The Return of General Williams 297. The Resumption 12
Tim walked into George's office and they locked eyes. He noticed that he was sad and inquired, “What's up, Boss?”“I don't know how the boys would cope with a new Commandant,” he sat down and responded.“You just said my mind. You should have advised the Second in Command.”“The Head of State distorted his work after he submitted the list to him.”“Ha! He must have his reasons.”“What could be his reason? That was the man responsible for the scandal against him,” Tim blurted out.George was bewildered and he locked eyes with him. After a while, he spoke, “Maybe he wished to disgrace him by sending him to where he cannot function well.”Tim looked at him for a while before he said, “You may be right. I have not thought of that. But he should not joke with the children's studies.”“Let's watch out.”Tim wanted to speak but the door opened and he halted. George smiled when he saw the visitor. Tim turned and saw the General Manager. He got up at once and greeted him, “Good morning, Maj.

“Huh!” He exclaimed and laughed euphorically.Tim was infested and laughed as well.“How can I invite them?” He asked him.“Are they not your friends? Let me have the names of the friends you wished to invite.”“It is all right,” he said and gave him the names of eight Dukes and he walked away.He got to his room and contacted the fake Duke and asked him to invite them.“Sir, we have invited them but they declined the invitation,” he answered.Tim was surprised and asked him, “Why? Did they give any reason?”“Not at all. They arrogantly turned the invitation down.”“It is all right,” he said and ended the call.At Lt. Col. Ben Smirnoff's Office He has been as happy as a lark and dancing with all his might since the breaking news.“They are no longer searching for the poster of the scandalous post. Maybe they searched and could not get me," he said to himself and continued dancing. Unfortunately, he had no friends to share his joy with nor did anyone call to rejoice with him. Not bec

The General Manager believed him and said, “The manual is there. You should have read through it.”“I did. But I had a problem along the line.”“I see.”He stood up immediately and appreciated him, “I'm grateful,” he said and returned to the Secretary's office.To avoid exposing himself, he brought out his phone and the manual. Then, he looked at the clerk and requested, “Kindly put me through on how to use the phone.”He smiled and walked to him. He sat beside him and began to teach him. As a good student, he learned faster, and appreciated him afterward, “Thank you for your assistance.”“It is my pleasure,” he responded and returned to his seat.Then, Tim got up, looked at Stephanie, and said in a low tone, “It's remaining one a half day.” She smiled softly and he walked away. Meanwhile, the edited jingle of the ceremony was on air. The posting of news was not as domineering as it was the previous day.At Mount Olive The edited jingle left much to be desired. Instead of including

At The Mining Field Valentine and Fabian returned from Birmingham the previous night after ensuring that Ann had settled down. They were at work when Richard arrived and they welcomed him warmly. After the greetings, he informed Fabian that he would perform at the event and he was excited.“Thank you, Major, for finding me worthy to be at the occasion.”“You are welcome. Kindly give me your stage photograph and name,” he requested and he did.“Thank you, so much for accepting the invitation despite the short notice.”“It is my pleasure, Major. I haven't been to Mount Olive before. How do I find my way?”“The supervisor will bring you. You will arrive incognito so that the youths will not overcrowd the event.”“I got it, Major.”“Good. Kindly share your bill and payment details with me,” Richard requested.Valentine who was smiling happily all the while said, “I'm happy for you, Fabian.”“Thank you, Supervisor,” he said and faced Richard, “I appreciate the gesture, Major. I will do th

Dale walked him to his car. After the salute, he watched him get in. He waved at him and said, “See you tomorrow.”“See you tomorrow, Boss,” he responded and drove away.“Nice man,” he mumbled and returned to his office.That morning, as early as 8 AM, he summoned the staff members and cadets at the Assembly Hall for his valedictory and they gathered with long faces. He smiled at them in his usual nature and began to address them. He hardly spoke for five minutes when the students began to cry and he was scared.'The Head of State will assume that I instigated them to do this' he said to himself and pleaded with them, “If you love me, don't cry. We don't have a permanent office.”Nevertheless, his plea fell on deaf ears and they cried out the more. He looked at the staff members and hoped that they would assist in placating them but they were downcast as well.“Stop crying. We are still together in Canterbury,” he continued to plead.At that point, his well-prepared speech was useles

“The Cadets are right.”“Yes. It is wrong to change the Commandant in the middle of a session.”“The Head of State should do something about the posting.”“The Head of State should listen to the cadets.”“It is their fundamental right to speak out.”George was alone in the office but was not comfortable. The cameramen wished to show how serious the students were and decided to capture the weeping ones. Samuel happened to be one of them. They thought that he was crying because he did not like the posting and that made a good headline.Nevertheless, George could not withstand the sight. He jumped out of his chair immediately and in a jiffy, he was at the lobby. Unlike Tim who would wait for the Head of State's approval before he moved. He walked out of the lobby at once and his team members followed him.The moment they left the complex, Jerry turned on his siren and they continued until they arrived at the academy. They were not deterred by the sea of people, especially the pressmen. W

He got in and rested his head on the car seat while she joined the truck driver and they began to return their properties to the house.On The Airwaves The Head of State's visit took the center stage. His counterparts who were interested in his verdict were happy while some who thought that he would fail by sticking to his words were not happy. The parents and civilians were happy with him as well.Meanwhile, the most beneficial of the protests was Erick's father. He had advised him to be friendly with Gerald and do whatever he did. Now, he had gotten close to the Head of State earlier than he could imagine. He downloaded the pictures of his son and His Excellencies from the internet and made one of them his display picture.At The Complex Laura must think differently.

At Tim's House Collins returned afterward with one of the buses and they put in their things. The old man was thrilled to return to his house after many months. 'I can't believe that I will return and not meet Cecilia in the house,' he thought euphorically.“Is everything in the bus?” Tim asked them.“Yes,” they answered one after the other.“It's okay,” Tim said and they got into the car.Collins turned on his ignition and Jerry did the same thing. Now, it was time to leave. The janitor was disturbed when he noticed that the old man moved all his things out of his room. He walked to the window and asked with an emotional voice, “When are you coming back, Old man?”Tim did not want such distractions at all and he answered him dismissively, “Very soon.”The janitor put his emotions in check and Collins moved. However, the old man was touched and wondered how he would live at Mount Olive alone.'I have no choice. I must stay there and monitor the rebuilding of the house,' he assured

She was still trying to rest after trekking from the lobby a few minutes ago. Asking her to trek back would be too much. Besides, it could cripple the work. He asked one of the officers to take her to the lobby.The officer was disgusted at the task which would disrupt his work. "I got it, Boss," he said and picked up the car keys.He walked out of the office and glared at Laura who was sitting dejectedly on a bench."I will leave you behind if you don't come with me," he yelled at her.Laura looked up and before she could process what he said, he had stormed out of the office."Follow him, Miss Dickson. Your attention is needed at the lobby," Cpl. Simpson informed her.She jolted out of her stupor, picked up her purse, and ran after him. Incidentally, he was one of the people who took her home on Friday and warned her about getting into trouble. She got into the bus and shut the door."How can I leave my work because someone must always get into trouble?" He grumbled as he drove tow

At The President's Office So far, the deliberations were going on smoothly until it got to Laura's misconduct. Capt. Jaja poured out his heart, "She should be on her way out this moment.""Yes," they chorused while George and the GM watched them.Tim studied their faces and discovered that they were tired of Laura and keeping her against their wishes would not go down well with them. Besides, they would be angry with George who was tired of her as well. To arrest the situation, he sent a message to him.(Inform them that you will send her to work as an inventory officer at the steel mill site.)It was a big relief for him and he replied at once. (That is a good one, Boss. Thank you for this.)He looked up confidently and allowed the managers to speak out."Who knows who she would attack tomorrow?" Capt. Sawyer asked."It may be you," Capt. Bolton teased him."If she tries it, I won't just kill her but kill her ghost as well," he said angrily, and they burst into strident laughter."T

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.

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."

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
The Return of General Williams 400. Returned Joy 1
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
