The police officers were leaving the office after packing up when they were suddenly shocked. The truck door was opened, a male figure appeared with a face they had never recognized before.

“Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, Amakanie!”, he said kindly greeted the police officers who were on duty at the desk

This middle-aged man, who goes with the name Mr. Waka, is still stunned.

“I’m sorry commander, none of us expected that the Mission commander and the 330 Raider Infantery Personnel would visit the Police station to present us a birthday cake,” he said.
