Let It Burn

Chapter 2: Meet The Lions

It didn't take him long to get up and ready it was still a bit dark outside. "Come on boys, we gotta get the lead out." Tobi said with a small cup of coffee. "You guys better make sure to use the head now it'd be a while before we're able to get to one." Tony added. "Do we always start this early?" Vince asked making sure he had his ID badge attached to his pants with his elastic retractable string. "No. Boss goes by weather. If it is going to be a hot day we start earlier to beat the heat. Basically if it's below a 10o we start later. If it's over we start pretty early." Daxton told him as they were gathering around.

"Hey does anyone by any chance know the time difference from here to China?" Vincent asked looking at his watch. "Two and a half hours with China being ahead." Ana said popping up out of no where. "Thanks boss." "Alright we got about thirty vehicles heading out and we got about fifty workers with us today. We are trenching out and doing concrete. Ryder, Vincent, Dallas, Dylan and Killian you will be welding for me later. I will send you some helpers as the days go. Each of you can have about three alright?" They all nodded.

"Alright load up and lets shove off." "Is Lions going to be there today Vee?" "Nope they better not be they supposed to be starting on another side to meet up with us by about tomorrow or the next day." She told Eli with a silent warning not to bring it up yet. After getting in the car he had to ask. "Is there a problem with the Lion team?" Vincent asked in the truck that had a few people in it. "Well you know how that's the Jamison crew. Turns out Ana and the Jamison line are very close like they go way back." Andrew told him. "Yeah but not all in good ways apparently they clash a lot it's like watching siblings tare each other to shreds." Jaxon added with a shiver.

"Although Jordon is older. Avianna is actually the one with a good head on her shoulders she ends up saving their ass a lot. Always pulling their ass out of the fire." Dallas said shaking his head slightly. "It's just gonna be awkward and uncomfortable all the way around all the time just roll with it." Dylan told hi flatly with a sad smile. Nodding his head. They truck soon stopped and every one hopped out.

"Alright you all know the drill these men will be over all of you if you need anything you come to them. We are trenching this whole line it is marked on the flags read the flags and you will be fine. We are all on this together today. Water trucks will be by every hour and a half until lunch than they will be by every forty minutes until we leave. We leave when this is done up to the that red flag that says stop. The medic truck will come every two and half hours if you will need bandages."

"If your diabetic the glucose meter and insulin. Hypoglycemic a small snack. Asthma will have inhalers you know how this works. If you start to feel odd you go and get vitals read. Understood?" "YES BOSS!" They said in unison there was more than fifty other people here. The lot of them started to wait until the back hoes were done getting started than they all grabbed ropes and shovels.

"Vincent!" She called to him. Walking over to her. "Can you understand what's written on these flags?" Looking down he nodded. "Good I made you this list to keep on you." She handed him the small list of what the colors of the flags meant on the back was the list of phone numbers to every place in the sight. "OK so here's the quick version. Green is where we start. Red is where we stop. Yellow is caution there are dangerous pipes like gas in the ground or other dangerous things while we dig."

"Orange is weather related caution like potential mudslides, sink holes things like that. Brown is possible old land mines or bomby things even possible military parts. Black is possible predator territory for wild or dangerous animals or reptiles. Blue is where you need medic team to come to. Say you fall and need help to get down you leave a blue flag with type of situation on flag." She told hi as he nodded.
