The Bunker Project
By: VanillaUnicorn
Chapter 16: The Young Crowd
Fourth Week of October 2024
Construction continued on what would be the new Williams family home. There had been very little sexual distractions after Paul's tryst with Rebel and her subsequent move into his current suite. Word had started to spread of the body that had been found and people were starting to gossip about it.
The security crew had done an amazing job clearing up any sign of what had happened so that meant that either one of them or someone else was talking about what was found. The Major seemed adamant that his people wouldn't break rank like that which meant the most likely answer was that either the killer was letting slip details about what they had done or the maintenance worker that discovered the body was.
As the rest of the week went by Paul and the rest of the administrative crew were bombarded with questions about what had been found. Erica had done an amazing job deflecting all the conspiracy theories that the residents had dreamed up. She almost slipped up herself when one resident came forward asking if the death was related to the others that had happened months prior. As far as all the administrative crew knew, none of the residents had been told about those murders. It was an error on that person's part because it painted a big target onto them and that meant that security was watching them like a hawk from that point on.
With Erica and the rest of the crew taking the lead on the concerns of the residents, it left Paul free to head to the building site each day. He may have been skipping out on his administrative duties but he assured them that he would still be there to cover his part of the new residential interviews and transfers. Work was actively going around the clock as the time line to get everything finished was getting shorter. They had still managed to fall behind what was planned though. The only solution he could come up with was a more all hands on deck approach.
All the women who could manage had now joined in and lent a hand with the building even if they had no idea what they were doing. All of the women were just as eager as Paul to see it finished so they could move in to the larger space. Even Madeline and Danielle had chipped in, each painting up the finished rooms in the upper floors even though they should've been resting to not endanger their pregnancies.
Only Ellie, Ashlei and Cori had skipped out on the physical work. Both Ashlei and Cori were too far along with their pregnancies, each just weeks away from their projected delivery date. Ellie had volunteered to watch the two women while the others worked, plus she herself was only a few months away from giving birth too.
Even with the extra women helping it didn't seem to be enough. If his calculations were correct and they usually were, they were still almost a month behind where they needed to be. After talking out the problem with Erica, a deal was struck with bunker 3 to accept bunker 1's next two allotments of residents in exchange for them sending over which ever undesirables they might have in return once bunker 1 was taking on new people again.
With the deal finalized, Paul no longer had to venture off to take care of any of the induction work for the next two weeks. This prompted him to work on their home non-stop much to the dismay of his women. He was barely sleeping and they had to force him to stop to eat when they could. It seemed to be working though, as they were now closer to being back on schedule. It didn't hurt that Erica, Zander, and Melisa had also joined in with the work since they didn't have to do any of the inductions either.
