[ Ava just...sort of follows, because Jon's worked up now, but the minute he starts muttering into his recorder, she reaches out and takes him by the shoulder to quietly hiss: ]
Keep your voice down. You are coming off as really fucking sketchy right this moment and people are going to overhear you and think you're actually out of your mind.
[ Ava turns her gaze to the two women who have definitely already decided they're a pair of lunatics, but she rolls up her jacket sleeve and shows the timer. ]
I'm really sorry to bother you. Can you, uh, explain this?
[ Both women seem unwilling to answer. But one of them finally says, "You don't belong here, you know? You need to leave before the timer goes off. You'll be in trouble otherwise. Now please, leave us alone." They keep walking. Ava frowns, pulling her sleeve back down. Clock's ticking. ]
Might be better to look for a cop or someone in authority. Not sure what'll happen when the timer clicks to 0 but...at least we know that leaving is the right thing to do when it happens.

[ Still not sure why, though. ]
