”Soon we can have corn and rice once in a while and have plenty of foods and vegetables to make complete 3-course meals in the future. Oh yeah, I gave Will the dagger and buckler and I made him stand at some distance away as I shoot arrows at him. Part of the training for him and me, you see.”
”But I think he prefers to be a support member. Well, we can't bend anyone's will especially Will's. Oooooooo....why must he be named Will? We would name him Bill instead. Or Kill, Chill, Dill, Fill, Gill, Hill, Jill, Mill, Pill, Sill, Till or Zill...Sorry...adding fillers again.”
”So, you'd be coming back tomorrow, right? Did the farm behind the house grow well? Did your Granny mention anything about me? Let me know what time you would be back tomorrow okay?”
I clicked send and my notifications showed that the message had been delivered and not read. I closed the interface and saw Will.I.Am under the shelter where we placed our bags under and was lying down on his stomach and was playing on his portable PSP.
We had our smartphones confiscated by the Director and let Will.I.Am to keep his PSP with him since he had performed several favours for the Director for the last few days already.
”*Ahem*...go on and check with Jean Lethal if he needs a hand for the completion of the floating bridge or not? He refuses my help saying that I made things just for temporary purposes only as he said he can do a much better job if we put 10 Robins together.”
”If we put 10 Robins together, this place would be a noisy lot with all the chirpings and bird whistles. Robins as in those birds. nor the Baskin Robbins with a double bee. Hahahaha...”
I cleared my throat as a signal for Will.I.Am to put away his PSP away and attend to Jean Lethal just across us as he had made an almost impeccable floating bridge platform with side railings and 2 life bouy at the sides of the railings.
The floating bridge platform had 2 poles in the middle on each end and a small ring on top and the guiding rope ran through it and was anchored on both ends of the river bank at an angle and elevation to allow small boats to pass through underneath.
It was a clever design rather than splaying the rope near the surface of the water and snag other boats and its occupants especially jet skiers and wakeboarders.
After ensuring it's river worthy and met Jean Lethal's safety aspect for the occupants and handling of the floating bridge platform, he launched it and let Will.I.Am pull the ropes through the centre of the platform. The water did not slosh over the 4 sides since it was raised and the platform glided effortlessly across the river's surface like a leaf.
After measuring the depth of the river with a long staff, Jean Lethal took off his clothes and gestured Will.I.Am to do the same and hung the clothes on the side railing. Both he and Will.I.Am somersaulted and splashed into the river and was laughing and giggling as they picked freshwater clams and brought it up on the floating bridge platform.
The duo was diving and swimming while harvesting the freshwater clams that were half the size of my palm. They also brought up some freshwater crabs and crawfish that would be made into seafood broth with some vegetables.
Squidders and Growers...they can't survive too far from any body of water as they earned their livelihood through both of these means.

My interface sounded as an incoming message was received. I opened it up and saw a message from Matilda and her answer was ”K”...
”K...? Just a single character to sum up the whole conversation that I had sent to her?
W O M E N...!!! So hard to understand at times and so hard to please...OOOOooooooooo...!!!”
