“What kept you?” He asked with a broad smile that dazed him.Before he could recollect himself, the brigadier walked up to them and stood in open-mouthed wonderment. Seeing George standing there was surprising enough but seeing him safe and sound was completely unexpected. Many questions crowded his mind but he could not ask because they were in public and must hide Tim's identity.“Where are the rest?” Unable to contain his words any longer, he asked all the same.“They are here.”“Is that Brig. Dale?” Tim asked.“Yes. It is me,” he answered and walked in.He turned, faced his orderly, and instructed him, “Inform the brigadier that they are here.”“I got it, Brigadier,” he answered and walked away.George locked eyes with Brig. Dale for a few seconds before he asked him, “How are you?”“I'm good, Brigadier,” he answered soundly.The Brigadier shook his head and met Tim on his seat. He was unaware of the trauma that their few minutes of absence had caused them and asked, “What kept yo
They were still laughing when the Oregany Defense Minister resumed his commentary.“Wow!” The Head of State exclaimed and began to watch while the Second in Command returned to his office.He was watching and working and after two hours, he got a call from Tim. His face beamed and he picked up the call at once.“Hello, Tim,” he greeted him joyously.“Good morning, Your Excellency. I wish to inform you that we are back.”“I'm thrilled to hear that. Welcome back.”“Thank you, Your Excellency. I will come to your office later.”“It is all right. I will be waiting.”At Tim's HouseThe old man was troubled when he realized that the two slept in the office.“He had not had any rest since yesterday,” he murmured after the breakfast.He was more troubled because he did not speak with them. Meanwhile, Samuel was not bothered because he spoke with them. He returned to his room and occupied himself with one thing or the other.“I can call him and find out how they are doing,” the old man told hi
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.“We need to see the doc
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,
In The President's Office George was captivated by Bright's show of love when he opted to kill the Field Marshal with his bare hands on his behalf the previous day. That day, he was not prepared for what he planned for him.After the news of the death of the Field Marshal, Bright got a beautiful plaque with the inscription 'You Are My Hero, Sgt. George Young' for him.After he settled down, Bright walked into his office with a cheerful demeanor while concealing the gift. He looked at him and teased, “You are happy today. Have you killed the Field Marshal with your bare hands?”Bright laughed hysterically while George watched him. At that point, he brought out the plaque from his jacket's inner pocket.“I got this for you, Boss,” he said and handed it to him.“Wow! For me?” He asked and collected it. He unwrapped the beautiful wrapping paper and saw a beautiful gold plaque.“Ha!” He exclaimed and read the inscription.Truly, everyone has their weak spot. He fought back his tears and
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
He furrowed his brow when he saw her in the kitchen preparing her dinner."Why doesn't she live in a big house and have security guards and a cook like Laura? At least a cook," he thought."Something should be done about it," he concluded.After he left the parlor, George sat on the couch to wait for him. At that point, he got a message from his father. He relaxed and punched on it. A wide smile covered his face while he was reading through it."She will never stay without trouble," he said when he read that Laura was arrested that morning.In the end, he said, "She would soon be working to finance bills that she incurred out of stupidity."At that point, Tim joined him and they walked to the dining table."How was your meeting with the Major General?" "It went well. Empress has grown lean," he pointed out and George was lost."What has Empress got to do with your meeting?" He asked him at once."Oh! I didn't inform you. The meeting was because of them. She fought with her instructor
To extricate herself, she answered at once, "No, Sir.""Then what happened? Don't keep me here longer than I wish," Dale thundered, and she was fear-stricken. "I apologize, Boss. I agreed with her and watched her walk to her husband. When she was sitting with him in the car, I called Mrs Bentley and showed her the two. She was surprised to see them discussing freely. When she returned, Mrs. Bentley did not bother to verify whether it was true or false."She stopped and looked at Richard who had killing intentions on his face. Tim was relishing the story and hated it when she stopped. He hit his hand on the table angrily and shouted at her, "Then what happened?"Although, they were not familiar with Tim's identity they believed that he was an important person to Dale.Instantly, she continued, "She gave her a knife hand strike. Before she could defend herself, she struck her with her shinbone and they began to fight."They focused on Empress who was still looking down. They compared
