It didn't take long for Ava's friends to figure out what the components were supposed to be; meaning a bunch of random pieces of shit. Pieces of cameras, radios, USBs, all extremely cheap and of terrible quality. Nothing terribly outstanding about them. We were starting to get pretty damn certain this was all pointless when they mentioned something that made us all stop dead on our tracks.
They're absolutely sure all of the products in the box were manufactured by this one company, "Reliable Electronics". After investigating, we discovered that their HQ seems to be not-too-far-away from where we live: A 3-4 hour drive from our town.
We all discussed for a while about what this could mean, but decided we just couldn't be certain until at least one of us went there to try and get some answers. It might not be the smartest idea, but there's really nothing else for us to do.
That's why, tomorrow, I'll be skipping school and driving away to "Reliable Electronics" to see if I can get some answers from them. I dialed their number up and arranged an appointment with one of their assessors - made some dumb excuses about "wanting to verify the quality of their products" and whatnot, made myself sound like a big investor or something. They're gonna be pretty displeased when they see me.
Luca, Ava and Sophie are staying. Y'know, in case anything goes down, they can dial up the authorities. They haven't been of much help up to now, but something tells me that, if one of us goes missing, they may just change their minds. Let's just hope we don't HAVE to bring 'em in.
Wish me luck.
