Eden

I am 19 years old. I have been in the human trafficking industry for about a year now. My real name is Hyun Jae. This business is horrifying, but if you want to survive you just have suck it up and deal--

"Come on, we gotta make a run. " says Vaughn. I get up from my desk in the small wood panelled room. We walk out of the storage building and I take the drivers seat in a plain white van. I look back to see Vaughn shoving two girls in the back.

"Where to?" I ask as he gets in the passengers side.

"Jones." is all he says. I just nod and start driving. Jones is a usual. The landscape is how I always remember it being, desert. I know that we are somewhere in the Nevada area, but I am not exactly sure where.

After about 45 minutes of driving in silence, except when Vaughn yells at the girls in the back to be quiet, we arrive at the small broken down house that Mr. Jones lives in.

I get out and walk around back to help Vaughn get the two girls out. I know that this is the blonde ones first job. She just arrived yesterday. I just gently help her out and whisper simple things like ' Its Okay.' or 'Itll be over soon.' She nods and sniffs her nose.

I grab her shoulder and guide her towards the back door. Vaughn knocks and about 10 seconds later, a fairly large black man opens the door.

"Well hell Vaughn. Are these my girls?" He asks as he motions toward the two cuffed girls.

"Yeah. A redhead and a blonde right?"

"Just how I like 'em."

We walk in and Mr. Jones takes the girls to the back room. Me and Vaughn sit on the couch and he takes out his pipe and starts smoking.

"This is fucking incredible. Going all the eat to Dubai? Amazing."

"Yeah. How are we going to get there without suspicion?"

"Well first we have to get everyone's passports or one that can pass as their own. Then we just get on a plane and head out. " He explains.

"I thought it was just me and you? Didn't you say we could make it on our own and keep the business running here?"

"Yeah.  We will I promise Eden. We just need to help deliver them and then keep a couple here and the fly back to the states and just never go back to Dubai. We could make a hella lot money from our long term costumers. This is going to be so perfect. "

I just nod. I hope this goes as planned.

"Do you want some? You deserve it. You've been so good these past few months. I'm really starting to like you Eden. "

I blush and turn away from him. I know it will never happen but I have this stupid little crush on him.

"What kind of man orders two girls? That is just disgusting. The worst part is that he is married. " Says Vaughn.

"Well from my line of work, I have learned that people have extremely weird fetishes." I laugh.

"I am damn sure you have. But really, what's it like being kidnapped and you know..." He says as he slightly looks away.

"It really fucking sucked at first. But after a couple beatings and ice baths I got used to it. Its way better being on this side of it. I am actually really glad we are a team Vaughn." I smile at him and he motions for me to go over to him.

I walk over to the couch he is sitting on and sit next to him. He opens his arms and hold me close to him.

"I'm sorry you've had to go through this." he whispers in my ear.

I just nod and he kisses the top of my head. We stay there like that for a good five minutes, then we hear a slap.

"What the fuck is going on in here?!" He walks into the room where Mr. Jones is naked and sitting up next to the redhead. The blond one has a slightly bruised face and a small spot of blood appears from her lip.

" You know the rules. No hitting or abusing the girls! What's so fucking hard to understand?" Vaughn yells at the man.

"Come on honey get your clothes. " I tell the blonde one. she slowly gets up and grabs her clothes. She is fully naked and so are the other two.

"Get up Daya! Grab your things. And you. " He walks over towards Mr. Jones. " You owe me $1,200 . Plus how much?" he looks towards me.

"$1,200 plus an extra $400 for abusing the girls. So a total of $1,600." I say as I count on my fingers.

"So get the fuck up and give me my $1,600. You piece of shit! Don't make me shoot your sorry ass!" Vaughn walks up to the naked Mr. Jones and hold the gun to his head.

"Okay! Okay! My wallet is in the top drawer!" He motions to the desk near the door.

"Eden, get it and take the girls to the van. "

I walk over to the desk and open the wallet and grab the money. I cuff both the girls and walk out the door. I hear hitting sounds and the whimpers of Mr. Jones.

I put the girls in the van, and go to the drivers seat to start the van. a couple minuted later, Vaughn walks out , and get in the van.

"Fucker."
