An unexpected turn of events

Chapter two - the call.

At that moment, Mary's phone buzzed. Her friends Jess and Leah were calling her, so she politely excused herself.
"Hey Mary!" They chorused as she picked up, "What's up?"
"Not much," she responded, "You?"
"The sky!" Jess laughed. Leah and Mary both produced a fake laugh.
"So," Leah said, quickly changing the subject, "How's the attic - cleaning going?"
"Quite well thanks," Mary responded, "In fact, we're almost done."
"Cool," Jess nodded, "Did you find anything mysterious?!"
"Well," Mary answered, "It wasn't exactly a 'mystery' but there was this light pink box and he wouldn't let me see what was inside it."
"Ooh!" Jess gasped.
"Mary, are you finished yet?" Owen called from inside.
"Just a second!" She yelled back. She turned back to her phone.
"Okay, gotta go now guys," she said.
"Okay, bye, talk to you later," they replied, and hung up. Leah looked at Jess.
"We HAVE to find out what's in that box," she said.
"I know," Jess smirked, "and I've got the perfect plan..."
