“You are welcome, Captain. I would have felt bad if it had been sold,” Mr. Watson responded and handed the car keys to him.“Wow!” He exclaimed and collected the keys.He turned around and saw the euphoric Bright and said, “Take your keys. Move it to the car park.”He collected the keys happily and showed his appreciation, “Thank you so much for this, Captain.”“Ha, my car!” Laura could not hide her disappointment and exclaimed aloud.Barbara looked away from Bright and looked at her but could not comprehend her exclamation. Quickly, she ignored her and faced the vestibule. Now, Bright had gotten behind the wheel and turned on the ignition.“Park at the right place, or you will do a frog jump if you park at a Captain's parking lot,” Capt. Graham teased and they laughed loudly at his joke.Barbara did not know what Laura knew about the car and laughed too. Likewise, Bright drove off and the Accountant walked back to the elevator with his guest.Nevertheless, Bright was preoccupied with
Meanwhile, Mark was wondering why the President and the Major were quiet and allowed only the driver to speak.“Sure, we can,” he answered all the same and looked at the bulldozers.He pulled off his jacket and dropped it inside Jerry's car. Max did the same and they got into the truck. George pulled out his jacket and hung it on one of the seats on the bus. Presently, he was left with his camouflage T-shirt.“You can have your lunch before we return,” Tim faced Collins and instructed.“We will wait for you, Boss,” he declared and Tim agreed with him.Without any waste of time, they got into the truck.“Good morning, General,” the driver faced George and greeted.Likewise, after his response, he faced the others and gave a general greeting, “Good morning, all.”They answered him one after the other. His assistant greeted too and he moved. Apart from Mark and Max who were writing, the rest although armed were on a sightseeing. The bulldozer was clearing and grading the push and it slow
At that point, some elders of the community walked up to Richard and inquired, “Good afternoon officer. How may we help you?”“How may I help you?” He asked them with a stoic face.The crestfallen elders looked at each other and one of them apologized, “Pardon our offense. We wished to know why you are here?”“I wish to know why are you here. Is this your house?” Richard asked and the other hostile guards focused on them.“No, Officer. It's our brother's house,” he answered.“Let your brother come and ask us what we are doing in his house.”“He can't come,” another elder said.“Why? Is the house not his?”“It is his house but he can't come,” another elder answered. “Why can't he come? Where is he?” Waa! Waa!!They were attracted by the sound of the fallen walls and they tried to force their way in.“He is sick and in the building. We need to rescue him,” the first man said and moved.“Don't move further,” Richard thundered and they halted.Meanwhile, Tim and George were standing a
Capt. Bruce saluted Richard and the others saluted him before he left without regard for Tim.“How will you leave, Max?” George asked with concern.“I can find my way, General.”“I can give him a ride,” Mark volunteered.“Thank you for that, Engr. Robbie. I will take you to your office when you come in the morning.”“It is all right, President,” he said and greeted the Major, “Good night, Major,” while he waved at Tim and the rest. “Good night, Engr. Robbie,” Richard responded.Now, Richard and Frank were beside the station wagon while Collins and George were walking towards his car.“Collins,” Tim called out.The two stopped in their tracks and he answered, “Yes Boss.”“You will drive the station wagon home,” he informed him and waited for his reaction.George squeezed his face as though Tim fouled the air. Collins thought fast on how to refute the order politely. Now all eyes were on him and they waited for his response.“I would have loved to, Boss but I have not read the manual.”
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
