I signed the contract.
Maybe thirty second later, my cell phone rang with an unknown number. I knew who it was.
"Hello," I answered.
"Congratulations," said No. 5 on the other end of the line. "Come out back."
I hung up the phone and walked to the back door. It was dark outside and someone was working on a car in the parking lot. I could hear the engine running, but the vehicle wasn't driving. When I went out, No. 5 was doing something with this headlights. He wasn't replacing a bulb, but adding something.
I'll have to ask him about that later.
"Hey," said No. 5. "Take a walk tomorrow, midmorning. Make sure you're alone, and go to the door. They will scan the area and if you're alone, the door will unlock. Have fun."
I walked back to the house, closed and locked the door.
My family got home and we did the normal stuff: dinner, kids to bed, Netflix.
Once my wife and I got in bed ourselves, I told her everything that happened. I guess she's OK with it as long as I don't get killed.
Tomorrow should be an interesting day.
