Chapter 38
It had been a long morning. Drew was working twice as hard and twice as fast to get the job done with and move to the next. Benji was sitting out through Breakfast and Lunch to watch May. She hadn't woken up since she had fallen asleep so Benji tried hard to stay awake himself in the silence. Dawn had left for her job and was working with a group of girls in designing and making outfits. She would have been having a great time if it wasn't for the many things on her mind.
May was in a deep restless sleep, dreaming about tomorrow and the next day and the next day trapped in a nightmare. Benji would sometimes hear her whimper.
Blane and Misty were in the cafeteria sitting by Casey and Holly but neither of them talked to each other or looked into their partners eyes. They stared at their food and tiredly ate before heading back to either work or their rooms to take a nap.
It wasn't until the alarm clock in May's room read 3:45 pm that room 15's door opened and Benji looked away from May as he was sitting in a far corner on the floor. Through the dim light, Benji could still make out the figures. Drew came into the room after harshly ordering everyone to step back before opening the door. He went straight over to May and looked at her, intently. He leaned down and scooped her up into his amrs, draping the blanket around her and was walking out of the room.
"Where are you taking her?" Benji asked, getting up.
"To Dawn and yours room where she can keep sleeping." Drew growled as if he was daring Benji to stop him.
Benji wouldn't have said no whether threatened or not. May wouldn't be able to sleep while Drew and his crew were putting in the Bath.
As Drew took May out of the room, he scowled at anyone who looked at her and went down the hall to room 7, Benji and Dawn's place. Benji opened the door for Drew and Drew came in laying May on their bed.
"Has she waken up since I've been gone?"
"No, she's been asleep. No one came in or out of the room except Dawn until you came back."
Drew nodded and stood up. He walked to the door and left without another word. Benji sighed and watched the door shut behind him. Then he turned and looked at the new addition to Dawn and his room. There was a door on a wall where a door had not been before. Benji went over to it and took the note from the door.
The note read that a plumber and electrician would be by at 4 pm and 5pm to install the eletricity and water systems.
Benji opened the door and the light from his room shed into the bathroom. Benji smiled.
"Well, Dawn is going to like this." The bathroom was installed with a large dual tub/shower, a toilet (which would be alot easier than running from their room up to the top floor to where the restrooms were), a sink, cabinets and a large bathroom mirror. There was tiling on the ground and everything looked every nice and put together. He looked back at the clock. The plumber or Electricain should be there soon. So Benji went over to May, making sure she was covered well and then went outside the door to wait for them.
He could hear the construction team working down the hall. The sound of wall breaking was echoing out in the hall but in where May slept, it was quiet.
Benji watched as someone came running out of room 15, holding his hand and yelling profanity. He ran down the hall and as Benji watched him, he saw his hand was bleeding and leaving blood drops on the ground as the guy ran by. Benji shuddered. Another guy ran out after him and stopped to see Benji standing there. It was the guy with red hair who was once ordered to make Boss the sandwich.
"What happened to that guy?" Benji asked.
"Um,...splinter." The guy said. "I was hoping to stop him before he ran off. My partner signed up to be a nurse and I didn't want him to freak her out on her first day by running in screaming and holding out a bloody hand to her." The red head rolled his eyes and started back to the room.
"Kaden, come on!" Eric yelled, leaning out the door to yell at the red head.
"I'm coming!" Kaden snapped.
Benji watched as Kaden disappeared back into the room. Then a voice crept up behind Benji and Benji turned to see Blane.
"You're room seven?" Blane asked Benji, with a hint of surprise and relief.
"Your a plumber?"
Blane shrugged. "Filled out applications for five jobs. It was either this or the construction team and I heard Drew was on it."
Benji opened the door. "I want you to be as quiet as you can. May is inside sleeping."
"May? Drew's partner? What's she-"
"Drew didn't want her to be in their room while he was working in there."
Blane looked down the hall where the noies of the construstion team was. "Alright." He followed Benji into the room and glanced at May sleeping on the bed before heading into the bathroom. "I'm not sure how long I'll be. This is the first personal Bath I've come to. But I shouldn't be too long. The construction team should have made it pretty easy for me as long as they-" He mumbled to himself getting quieter and quieter then went over to the tub and began to get to work.
Benji went out went he heard a knock on the door. "I think that's the electricain."
Blane turned back. "That must be Casey. He was instructed to a job about the time I left the Admission office to come here. I know he's an electrician."
Benji went to the door and there was Casey. Casey smiled at Benji. "You're room seven? That's cool. I'm suppose to look at your personal bath."
Benji stepped out of the way as Casey came in and went over to the room.
"Hey, Blane." Casey said before pulling out his small flahslight, taking the chair from Benji's room to stand on it under where he would install the cieling light.
Benji turned the light up in his room only a little more to give the two some more lighting but enough to not wake up May.
Benji sat back on the floor and rested his head against the wall, waiting for something to happen. His stomach growled and he moaned hungry.
