electrona: on it.

radical_angel: on it.

electrona: wow, that’s synchronicity…

Wow, I didn’t think anyone else would volunteer. I thought about calling the Sheriff’s Department anonymously, but maybe it would be better to call Peter or Belinda directly and tell them about it. But if someone else would do it, it would involve a lot less hassle and a lot less questioning.

electrona: @radical_angel msg incoming

radical_angel: bring it.

I didn’t know what electrona wanted to talk to me about, and I was quivering inside. This thing used to be anonymous and somewhat global and now? Now, reality was knocking on my door, as I’d never thought it would…again.

electrona: I’ll handle it, but I could use some backup.

radical_angel: so you’ll inform law enforcement?

electrona: …

radical_angel: ??? What do you have in mind?

electrona: I want to check it out first. See if things are really as they seem.

radical_angel: Why?

electrona: I’m from around there.

radical_angel: Whitebrook?

Wait, what? What were the odds?

electrona: yep,

radical_angel: What do you need?

electrona: backup would be nice. Someone knowing where I am and if I disappear.

radical_angel: Disappear? So you’re not calling the cops? Are you nuts?

electrona: Need to figure it out first.

radical_angel: That’s completely crazy. We need to tell Sheriff Travers. He will take care of things.

electrona: How do you know who’s in charge?

Shit, busted. Would she believe me if I told her I googled it?

radical_angel: I’m from around there, too.

electrona: Whaaat?

radical_angel: pretty much my reaction exactly.

electrona: We could meet. Do the planning together…

radical_angel: IRL?

electrona: IRL.
