"So, Lieutenant, eh?" Bing said, holding open the door to the outside, so Monica could exit first. "How is it? I've been thinking of applying for it, myself. Hope you don't mind if I pick yer brain."
When she was out, he closed the door behind them, with a wave to the guy guarding it, then trotted to catch up.
"Probably should tell you about the hole I found yesterday, too. Couldn't find enough to fill it in, so I did what I could. Should be someone stationed out by it now, keeping an eye on it." he rambled, keeping an eye out for damage as he walked with her. His gaze settled on the Infected wandering around outside the fence. "It's amazing how much damage they can do if you don't keep an eye on them, even as secure as this Prison is."

"You should apply!" Monica beamed. Bing had been doing a lot of work, right? She'd seen his name popping up on the duty sheet more than a few times. And she'd only really been promoted a few hours ago - surely there were other people who weren't too far behind. "I think..." Actually, she hadn't heard much of official duties, except that she was expected to go out with other people sometimes instead of running around alone, now. "I mean, it's pretty nice to be responsible for people. Feels like you're getting things done." She paused: had that sounded offensive. "I mean, not that I wasn't getting anything done before - I just didn't realize that the Boss was paying any attention. But it's nice to be able to have the...authority to see what we're really getting done."
She hummed as they walked. "I'm glad you've made note of it, though," she said. "I'm not sure if they're getting smarter, or if they're just..." Monica flailed her hands about (just because she'd been promoted didn't mean she was any more dignified). "I mean, I guess either way they're inhuman..."
Oh - there was a nervous-looking guard standing on the inside of the fence there, which was probably what Bing had meant, and Monica flashed him a thumbs-up. "It looks like you fixed it up pretty well, actually," Monica said, walking in to get a closer look. "I was imagining something much worse..."
Sure, there was still a noticeable weakness in the wall. But this was definitely something they could handle together now that both of them were here...right?

Monica could ramble with the best of them, apparently. Bing suppressed an indulgent smile, reminding himself that she was technically his superior. And her enthusiasm was evident. The guard she threw a thumbs up at actually seemed to perk up somewhat.
Bing crouched by his handiwork as Monica inspected it, trying to see if there were signs the Infected had been at it. Some of the branches he'd stuffed in there the other day were missing, and so were the rocks that had been sitting on top of them. Hopefully, the rocks had crushed whatever had tried to get in. In the meantime...
"Yeah, did what I could." he agreed, noting several piles of odds and ends lying around the patched hole. "Looks like someone's been gathering some garbage over here so we can finish the job. We pack it in tight, and figure out a way to seal it... It'll be stronger than the wall around it!"

"Sounds like a plan!" Monica grinned. He was a lot more resourceful than she was - she'd mostly been grabbing salvaged wooden planks or bricks from nearby buildings. Sure, it was a longer run, but she'd never been that creative. "I'm sure we can pack in dirt, at least, if anything."
Sealing it would be trickier, though - unless they made mud using the prison's water? Sure, that stuff wasn't safe to drink, but it wasn't like Crooks went around licking walls, or anything. "I'm gonna see if I can't get a bucket," she said decisively. "If we mix some of the dirt with sink water we can get sort of a glue? Assuming it dries on..."

Bing considered the plan. Not bad a one at all, really. He nodded, considering the materials they had at their disposal. And the Prison water wasn't good for much else.
"Yeah, that'll do the trick!" he agreed, pointing at the remaining rocks, and the various bits of broken concrete that littered the yard. "We can clog the tunnel with the refuse: branches, trash, etc., then make a stone wall on this end, usin' your dirt idea as the cement. We'll probably have to patch it up from time to time, 'cause wet and dirt walls don't mix, but the stones will hold together a lot better that way."
Bing jogged over to the piles, and started separating building material from clog material.
"You go ahead and start on the water, I'll get this muck organized, and start stuffing the hole." he called to Monica.
True to his word, he began cramming every scrap of trash that he could fit between the branches into place. When Monica returned, he'd managed to fill about half the hole.
"Ya want a mixture that feels like a frosting consistency. Don't be afraid ta get a little debri in there, either." he advised, nodding towards a bare patch of earth. "Man, it's been awhile since I've done something like this. Feels good."

Monica flashed him a thumbs up, as well, and she dashed off.
When she returned, it was obviously at a much more sedate pace. She was carrying a several-gallon bucket with water already in it. "I'll just...keep putting dirt in here while you do that," she said, narrowing her eyes at her bucket. "I can't believe I didn't think to pick up a shovel..." But Monica wasn't afraid to get dirty, especially not lately. She grabbed dirt in fistfuls, especially since she didn't have to worry about it making it into the bucket neatly. "But...yeah. It's nice to get your hands wet."
When she was done mixing it into a buttercream-esque consistency, she dragged the bucket over to Bing, who'd managed to fill the hole by then. "Here we go," she said. "Ready?"

"Yeah!" Bing replied, huffing as he dragged over the stones that would form the foundation of the new wall. "Slap down a layer at the bottom, would ya?"
When she'd done so, he started laying the stones down, using a bit of the dirt paste to seal the cracks between them.
"Alright! First row done. Now, if you'll lay down a fresh batch of that mud on top of each stone, I'll do the haulin' and placin'. You can stick smaller ones in between the big ones to fill the space." he instructed, picking up a thin sliver of stone and wedging it into one of the wider gaps between the foundation stones. "The less dirt for rain to get at, the better."
It was dirty, sweaty work, but, after a few hours, they had a wall! Bing stepped back to get a good look. He wiped the sweat off his brow, but since his arms were covered in drying mud and dust up to the elbows, he left a giant smear there. The rest of him was just as filthy, but he wore a huge grin.
"Gonna take 'em a damn long time to get through that monster. I think we did good, Monica." he said, clapping the diminutive woman on the back.

"That sounds like a great division of labor," Monica giggled, eyeing his evident strength and her own tiny body. She tried her best to be thorough with the paste, though: she needed it to stick, and well, no matter how many tiny filler stones were gonna be added to it.
"We sure did!" she cheered when they were done, admiring the sturdy stone of her wall. She'd have to keep these techniques in mind for later. "Now I guess we just have to...maybe clean off before heading inside?" They deserved naps. Long naps.
