Suddenly, the phone rang. Tom jumped out of the chair and ran to answer it. No one there. He put it down and sat in the great armchair. He waited for the next call. 2 minutes passed then the emergency bell rang he dived into the elevator and requested the lobby floor. “Lieutenant Tom Snots! Lieutenant Tom Snots! You are requested at Generals Slops office.” The Lieutenant ran worriedly to his commanding officers office. Where he was surprised to find a top-secret mission briefing explaining how he was supposed to infiltrate the Taliban’s-Communist-Chinese mutual alliance. He was in deep, deep trouble. As the General reached into his cabinet he revealed two silver-colored stars and held them towards a Brigadier. He looked as if someone had just stabbed him in the heart. He deducted the ex-brigands (now Major) 2 bright yellow stars and placed 1 Silver Star on each side of the ex-brigand. Then Slops stole the total of six silver stars and placed a golden star on each side of Tom. Now he was Brigadier Tom Snots. He exited the room in great relief but there was nothing to be happy about. As soon as he left the room someone shot him through the head.
