บท 147: Happy Birthday

David turns around and finds Tom, the front gate guard standing in his uniform with a gun tucked in his waist belt. 

"I mean... Sir, is that really you?" Tom says, stepping closer to have a good look at his face and confirming his suspicions. Suddenly his eyes widen as he looks at David. "Oh my! It is really you sir... But why were you bend down on the ground sir?" 

"Tom... I want to go inside." David finally speaks a bit hesitantly. 

"Of course sir, I'll open the gates right away sir." He marches towards the big steel gates with the set of keys in his hand that he fished out of his pocket. 

"But Tom..." Tom turns to David again and listens to what he has to say. "You never saw me coming here." 

Tom remains silent at his statement for a few seconds then nods his head in approval. "I'll make sure that the CCTV cameras malfunction for a few minutes." 

"Thanks, Tom." Before Tom could move again towards the gates, he again calls for him.
