Edenians

First chapter, "Innuendo"

The Drepherson family lived, however, like any average family in the usual way: the father works as a mechanic, the mother is a housewife, the son went to medical school. Everything went on as usual, until one day a second son was born - Isaac Drepherson. The name was given to him in honor of the already deceased grandfather of Sarah-the Mother of the family. Unlike the parents of Gordon and Sarah, who were happy to have a new child in the family, the eldest son Billy was very cautious about his younger brother. Not only did he not look like anyone in the family, but he also appeared in a place where he couldn't possibly be. If you want, I'll call it "Teleportation". Adults believed that it was the "young surgeon" who transplanted the younger brother when the older one began to complain about it.So a year passed since the birth of Cain. Already on February 15. I need to go back to medical school. He got up, dressed in a yellow hoodie, opened the refrigerator, which didn't even have enough eggs, and sat down at the table. Sarah came out of the other door."Good morning," she said.- Hi, there."You're finally going to have your last day at school!" "It's not even May," Bill said, surprised.Sarah wanted to keep quiet about it, along the way, saying," Well, my father and I decided to move, but we decided to look at, say, your surprised face when you find out."After that, Bill didn't finish his breakfast, which infuriated his mother. He picked up his filled briefcase from the day before and went outside. The medical school was literally not far away: all you had to do was drive two stops. Whenthe day was over, and Billy went home, dragging his feet. How beautiful is the center of their city of Areopolis! When he came to his parents ' house after school, he took off only one jacket, without even washing his hands, and collapsed into bed. Sarah was about to question her eldest son, but he was already dozing. Gordon was already asleep. He was wrapped in a blanket and snoring like a child with a runny nose.Bill woke up later than anyone else, at about ten minutes to one in the afternoon. My father and mother were already dressed in jackets and warm street pants. Isaac was fast asleep in Sarah's arms. Bill was surprised at this and asked hesitantly:"Mom, where are you going?""Well," Gordon interrupted thoughtfully, " we've got to move out of town."But where?""To some 'Exedia', 'Ascolotlia' ..."To Edenia," Sarah interrupted."Yes, that's right, to Edenia!" Thanks. It's just the first time I've heard of it, and I doubt its existence at all.In the kitchen there were 2 people in strict suits: a man and a woman. They were collecting kitchen supplies.Billy objected to my mother:"Then I must pack my things.""It's all packed up, son."I'm asking you to get dressed and come with us," the second man in the suit said politely, " or the government will take your baby away from you." It causes huge bursts of energy.- I'm sorry, but I want more clarification: where do we even eat? Who are you? After all, what is Edenia?"I'm sorry, Mr. -" Billy, but you can call me Barry."I'm sorry, Mr. Barry, but I won't have to tell you, or rather show you, until after I arrive." Never tell your friends where you are going."We didn't even have tea." My British soul demands a strong and delicious tea! Billy said indignantly."No, very little time. Please, take your things, and we will go, " said the man in a strict suit. The Drepherson family followed the man's request and went downstairs. There were no people inside the entrance, so they calmly went down and went out into the street. Billy decided to say a final goodbye to his friends who lived across the street from their house. Finally, a man and a woman in formal suits arrived. They kept so many packages that it seemed as if they were being taken out of the house, and not the other way around. All of these packages fit completely in the trunk of Gordon's car and half filled the car, as Bill calls them "People in strict". The second man in a strict suit decided to find out which of the adults knows how to drive a car."Can I find out which one of you can drive a car?" "What is it?" he asked."I can do it," Sarah said."Wonderful. Then drive the car behind me. We'll start calling you when we leave.After these words ,the "People in strict" sat down in them... armored car. I'm not kidding. It really looks like a tank, but without weapons and tracks. At the same time, the size of it could compete only with the cars of the brand "Matix". In general, at the same time, the whole Drepherson family got into their car. The horn of the armored car was already sounding as it turned to the right of the house, right on P. and D. Andreak Streets. Sarah turned right behind them.After perhaps two or even three hours and two gas stops, they reached the airport. Along the way, all the pedestrians and drivers met our main characters with surprised faces: it's not every day that you can see how an armored car, similar to tanks that drive next to the president's car, carries an ordinary yellow car around the city, in which 3 ordinary mortals and one baby are sitting. Some even whispered among themselves, as if a God had appeared before them.They reached the seaport. He had only two ships moored. The armored car hummed again. Everyone stopped. "People in strict dress" got out of the armored car. The Drepherson family took all their bags and went out as well. Three naval vessels were moored at the port. On the first floor there was a parking lot for cars, on the second floor of the ship-a place for ordinary people. The Drepherson family and the LAN went to the port with their bags. A port guard was waiting for them at the port. When the guard saw the Drephersons, his face was so displeased, as if he would now come out of his booth and forcibly carry them out of the port territory. But at the moment when the " LAN " came around the corner, then his face stopped being so pessimistic and strict as a night cloud. He immediately asked to see his page and "LAN", gave the go-ahead to pass and handed Gordon a booklet. The booklet read:Dear Reader,If you are reading this, it means that you have a family,Grandmother, father, maybe you yourself, have abnormalAbilities. Don't panic. You're leavingIn the direction of an unusual country-Edenia. We hide itfrom prying eyes on the Internet and in the media.Edenia is an island, with an area 2.5 times the size of Uganda.It is located east of the Chagos Archipelago, in the Indian Ocean.There are people living there who can't be acceptedIn society because of their abilities. We are engaged inWe ask you to stay together with this activityWith your family and do not stray far fromPeople in strict black suits.With all due respect,Port Administration and the company " Materno Limited»The Drefersons were led to the side of the liner. There were about 9 other people nearby. Billy looked at the people in the crowd. He caught sight of a man with a beard. He looked disgruntled, untidy, perhaps even intimidating. His black hair was disheveled, and the only beautiful thing about his appearance was that his plaid shirt was ironed. There was a little girl standing with him, probably his daughter. The girl was scared. God knows what happened to the mother in their family. At the same time, the ship's bell rang. All the passengers went in. Billy was the last to come in, though he tried to hurry after his parents. In the passenger compartment of the ship, there were two seats in each row, but there were only 2 rows of them. Sarah and Gordon sat down together, and Bill had to sit a little farther away from his parents. The bell rang a second time, this time for the last time. The ship sailed away.
