EmporWAY_FirstCall
The honest call, made with Frank's advice. On the living room phone the kid calls EmporWAY and gets Rick in the middle of a busy warehouse. The kid says who they are and that they are sixteen; Rick takes it for a prank, then hears the plan out: a store from home, items from the online catalogue shipped one by one to the customers, every order paid for up front. He opens an account under the name Carter, in Maruf: the supply line is open on the first try.
