Salute To The General

Chapter 4 What A Spectacular Scene

What an outrageous, pompous ass!

Walter Zahn seethed and cursed as he picked up the phone and called Thomas Dunn to seek his help. His voice sounded like a foghorn.

“Soon you'll get to experience living hell!” He grinned grotesquely at Nathan after he had made the call.

Everybody was shaking their heads, lamenting Nathan's folly. To the onlookers, Nathan had committed a suicidal act. Rather than using the opportunity to escape, he had just sent himself to the gallows when he allowed Walter Zahn to seek help from Thomas Dunn.

Anxiety was all over her face as Penny scurried over with Queenie in her arms. “We should leave now, Nathan,” she persuaded, “Thomas Dunn is the big daddy here in Eastern District. He's a vicious guy who sides with vile people like Walter Zahn.”

"Just leave it to me, Penny,” He said coolly, “It'll save us the trouble of dealing with them one at a time. Let me take care of them in one go.”

It took less than ten minutes before the second round of commotion broke out again in the otherwise harmonious kindergarten. This time, it was an even bigger one.

Someone stared out of the window and shouted in amazement, “Wow, what a spectacular sight! Look at the troops of soldiers who are standing outside, even the military trucks have arrived in dozens!”

One by one, dozens of military trucks rolled stridently into the kindergarten with the grandeur of a military procession

“Quick!”

“Quick!”

Thousands of soldiers in camouflage uniforms dismounted from the trucks when they came to a halt and assembled themselves in an organized formation.

Soon after, a brawny man with thick sideburns stepped out of a military jeep.

He was Thomas Dunn, the person whom Walter Zahn had called for help.

"Squad One and Squad Two, seal off the streets. I want this kindergarten to be fully enclosed.” “Without my permission, not even a bird can enter or leave the vicinity.”

Thomas Dunn's orotund voice resounded like a gong as he belted out the orders.

“Understood, Sir! We shall do everything to ensure accomplishment of mission!”

Two answered in synchrony as they sprang into action immediately. In the blink
