"Nice work with the generator and cell tower, lad," Scrooge told him.
"Thank you, sir. I also found a good location for that geothermal generator you were hoping to install." He turned and pointed. "There's an old well in that direction. The water's got some sulfur mixed into it, but a good filter in the pump should fix that problem. Once that's all installed, this place will have all the power and water it could ever need."
"How long would that take?"
"A couple of days. A week if the weather's bad." He gave a wry grin. "Or if Vesuvius decides to do a repeat performance of Pompeii."
"Let's hope it doesn't come to that." Scrooge glanced at Poe as he re-opened his cellphone. "I'll recall the troops to see what they've managed to find out. Given how far of a drive it is, they need to start getting home."
