"So... what's the secret code?" Ivana Bennett asked into the receiver.
"Secret code?" The voice on the other end sounded noticeably nonplussed.
Ivana shrugged and chuckled, "How would I know what you look like? What if I recognize the wrong person?"
The person on the other end paused, then said, "Height 186.5 centimeters, weight 76 kilograms, black hair, black eyes, Asian, ash-gray T-shirt, blue jeans, brown motorcycle boots, plain glasses. My vehicle is gray-blue, license plate number XXXXXX. I'm 12.4 kilometers away from you right now, on my way, and will reach you within 11 minutes."
With that, the person hung up, cold and efficient, with no dilly-dallying.
Ivana listened to the dial tone as she placed the receiver back on its cradle and, too, smiled.
A man whose height is precisely to the decimal point is truly unique. Wonder what he looks like in person.
