56 PROBLEMS AT THE CONSTRUCTION SITE

CONRI DOLF POV

I got to the construction site an hour later and found a panicked Everest pacing up and down at the entrance of the container office. 

"What is it? "I demanded 

He turned, and his face was filled with anguish. "Conri, we have a problem" 

I pulled him into the office container and shut the door. "Calm down and tell me. " 

"Half of the workers quit this morning. Alpha Lobo got to them"

"Fucking piece of shit, "I seethed. 

"I am more worried about their safety. We can manage with the numbers we have but-" His voice trailed off.

"Have you informed Elder Zaya ?" 

"No. I was waiting for you" 

"Amongst the workers that came in, someone must know what Lobo said to the rest. Can you ask and let us have a conversation with the person? " 

He nodded and walked out of the container. I picked up my phone and called Godmother. She answered on the first ring, "Good morning Conri"
