Chapter 5: You’d Better Know How to Say Your Goodbyes of EDEN CAN WAIT has been posted online.

They didn’t send a black helicopter for me. But they did send a black car.
Nissan Altima that stopped in front of me at 6pm on Sunday was sleek, moderately shiny and black like a crow. Thanks to its color and its tinted windows it looked every bit like a car a mysterious secretive organization would use to transport its employees. Which was strange, because I had always thought that real secretive organizations tried to blend in. Then again, maybe it was their way of blending in.
“Evening, Mr. West,” said a middle-aged man with an amazingly unmemorable face, who emerged from the driver’s door. “Are you ready?”
I nodded.
“Evening.”
“Let’s get your luggage into the trunk then,” he said, rounding the car.
There wasn’t much of a luggage—just a suitcase and a bag pack. My instructions had been very clear: “Pack the bare minimum. Everything else will be provided.” Following these guidelines hadn’t been hard, since I had never been too attached to my belongings, save for a few things with some sentimental value.
Once the suitcase and the bag pack had disappeared inside an empty pristine trunk, the driver courteously opened the back passenger door for me. I thanked him and dove in. The door closed softly behind me.
I looked around and immediately found two unpleasant surprises—so unpleasant, in fact that my first reaction was to get out of the car. The windows that looked tinted on the outside were completely opaque inside the car. And as if this wasn’t enough, a snow white blurred glass partition was separating the back seat from the front one. They could as well have offered a ride in a meat trailer.
