Chapter 56

Ed was the first to arrive on the site and spoke with the foreman to see how ready the building was for their team to begin. They reviewed the plans and the foreman confirmed the plumbing and electrical had been installed in the required locations. Mr. Drakos arrived and grinned to see his favorite employee already working. The rest of the team showed up over the next thirty minutes and Drakos organized the team to get them all working on the installation. The delivered equipment was inspected and nothing was missing. Cranes lifted it up onto the roof in the proper order and the workers there made sure it was securely fastened down. Then the real work began.
Even with the whole team working as quickly as they could, it was midnight before Drakos sent everyone home with his thanks. There were only a few things left to do and he'd get Ed to do them on Friday with Terry and Pete. As they'd done the bulk of the work the other teams would be able to move forward. They were going to get their bonus!
Ed dropped the van off at the lot and climbed into his truck. He checked his phone before he got moving and saw a response from Grace for the text he'd sent earlier indicating he was working late and didn't know when he'd be home. Her response was just for him to be careful.
