Chapter Sixty-Seven

"This is the spot guys."Aiden said, pointing at a distance end not far from where all of them were standing.

"Are you sure the machine read 30percent of Painite for that place?"Frederic asked him, raising up the shovel in his hands.

"Yes. I confirm it yesterday and it a little bit close to our cottage,all we have to do is to dig out."Aiden replied, leading the crew to the distance end.

"Grab your shovel guys let's dig."Samael instructed them, putting away his bag pack and picking up a shovel.

"The sun is very miserable, can't we just come back to night?"Mitchell whine out of laziness.

"Mitchell you are very lazy and procrastination is your biggest problem."Frederic said, without even facing her.

"you can come again."she said, picking up a fight.

"Mitchell let's not argue right now,so grab your shovel."Barrett told her calmly; picking up a shovel and passed it to her.

"Arrg!"she signed, collected the shovel and hissed at Frederic.

"Barrett I don't know how you did it,but you deserve some accolades for this. just look at that she is so obedient!" Frederic said, smiling brightly while mocking Mitchell.

"Alright guys! let's split up,three people on my left,three people on my right and me and Aiden takes the middle part."Samael said,as he immediately started digging up the middle part.

It wasn't long before they all shared themselves and started digging up their respective areas,the sun was high like never before causing extreme heat.

The guys didn't hesitate to pull off their tops and vest and the girls also did the same and remained in singlets.

"How long do we keep digging?"Charlotte asked, using her hands to rub her sweats away.

"We need to go like six to nine feet before we get anything,we are mining for minerals not root."Aiden replied her calmly,still focusing on his work.

"Am thirsty!"Mitchell yelled, throwing down her shovel and looking at the faces that has turned their attention to her.

"I need to drink some water"she said matching over to the place they dump their back bag.

She got there and searched inside her bag only to find out that she left her flask in the table.

"Guys I need to go home,I left my flask on the table."

"Take mine."Sharon said to her.

"Never mind,I don't like to share personal stuff and beside what I need is hot water."

"The water is too cold for that."Charlotte said ironically.

"That is how I prefer it,cold water always make my voice hoarse."she said.

"Permission to go leader?"She turned to Samael.

"Go,the cottage is not really far,And come back on time."Samael said, without looking back at her.

"Thanks."she smirked."put more effort on the left Barrett my hunches tell me something is there."she smiled as she jogs away.
