Taking the dog for a walk, I heard a ringing noise from the sidewalk trash can.
-
I pull out my phone and call his number. At first it goes to voicemail, but after a few tries he answers. I say "Hey, it's me with the phone. Where are you at?" He says, "You can't fool me. I know you're a cop. Stop calling me." And he hangs up.
I call him back and say"Do you want this phone? I can leave it at the counter at District Mart." He says "Take your phone into District Mart and let me talk to the dude at the counter. He knows me." So I go to inside. Tuan says "Salaam. It's Tuan. I'm on the bus on the way there to get this phone." Dude at the counter is a little confused, but I sense he has a high chaos tolerance. I leave the phone with him.

@ckr sometimes you reject the call to adventure, and sometimes the adventure rejects you.

@ckr I would have given up and returned the phone to the trash early on

@ebooksyearn There are a lot of parallel realities in DC and a lost phone can be a portal key, I guess.

@ebooksyearn @ckr Unrelated, but I have a cousin named Cody. He's self-employed doing god knows what.

Addendum: I just got a text that says "Im coming with my wife."
I text back "The phone is at District Mart." I then get a phone call where I recount the sequence of events to the participants.
I NO LONGER HAVE YOUR PHONE. Good luck and you are welcome.

@APBBlue @ebooksyearn There are several dogs in our neighborhood named "Cody." And it is always disconcerting at the dog park to hear "Cody, no!"

@ckr we don’t often get to use the word saga to describe stories in our modern age but this might qualify
-
@ckr make sure to meet in a public place or at a police station.
@Tim_Eagon @ckr Hot mess to be sure. Maybe that suggestion to leave it somewhere and step away is best. Police station... Eh maybe a public library is more neutral.
