Laura and her family dropped their argument and focused on the television. Stephanie had no choice but to leave the first youth and walk to the second one to get her details.“My name is Ann Suresh,” she informed her, and she waited for more information.When she got none, she respected herself and left. She watched the others pick empty papers and announce that they picked NOTHING. Meanwhile, Fabian had picked a plane paper, and just like Samuel, he was worried.“Thank God for my new idea,” he said to himself.“Will the Head of State give them jobs in the city?” Laura asked with disdain.“Is it the Head of State or the celebrant? He said it is his gift to them,” her father elucidated.“Does he have a job to offer anyone?”“No. He doesn't have but his elder brother has. I have advised you to be careful with Sgt. Young. Even though you are older he is smarter than you think,” her mother pointed out.She looked into her mother's eyes and asked, “What do you mean?”“He may be planning to
At The Christchurch DomeThey got to the Dome afterward and the children were thrilled by the beautiful decoration and the playground. Before that day, their parents were too busy to take them out, and they were happy with such an opportunity. Nevertheless, their parents were happy to know that they were happy. Apart from playing and running around, they familiarized themselves with each other and made new friends.“I think we can do this once in a while,” the Head of State whispered to his wife.“Do what if I may ask?” his wife asked him.“Bring the children together once in a while. Otherwise, they may not know each other.”“Oh! I'm surprised to know that despite being in the same school.”“Yes. You know they hide their identities.”“I got it. It may be twice a year. You got it.”“It is time for lunch,” Stephanie informed the children after a while.They were disappointed but obeyed. They joined their parents on their tables and began to eat. After the l, unc,h they began to leave o
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
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
