The Phone

Snake: Hi, my name is Anne. I found this phone in the park. I don't know if you know the owner, but I want to return it.

A few minutes later...

Hector: Hi. Thanks for messaging. Yes, this is my phone.

Hector: What a relief you found it. Could you tell me where you are so I can pick it up?

Snake: Of course, but first, can you tell me something to confirm it's yours? I don't want to give it to the wrong person and mess up...

A few minutes later...

Hector: It has a black case with a small crack in the corner, right?

Hector: Please, it's important.

Snake: Yes, it has a crack. Well, it's pretty muddy, like it fell into a puddle, but as you can see, it seems to work.

Hector: Yes, I dropped it while walking this afternoon. Damn weather... it's raining cats and dogs.

Snake: You know? I found it in the park near the old kiosk.

Hector: Perfect. Are you still nearby? I could come right now.

Snake: No, I'm already home. But don't worry, I can leave it for you somewhere tomorrow.

Hector: I really appreciate your help. Can I ask you something? Did you open the phone?

Snake: No. Well, I turned it on to try to find someone who could help. I tried to see if it had contacts to make a call, but it's a strange phone. I couldn't find any option to call, no contacts or anything... it only had this messaging app and just this contact. I didn’t touch anything else.

After a few minutes...

Hector: Thanks. It’s just that it contains important personal information. I wouldn’t want anyone else to see it.

Snake: I understand. Don’t worry, I just want to return it to you.

Hector: How can I be sure you didn’t look further? It’s not that I don’t trust you, but I need to know.

Snake: I’m telling you the truth. I don’t even like checking my own stuff, let alone someone else’s. Also, as I told you, the phone seems completely empty. I’ve never seen a phone like this... I don’t even know how to use it hahaha.

Hector: Alright. Then, let’s do this: I’ll give you an address to leave it. Tomorrow morning. No problem.

Snake: Sure. Send it to me.

Hector: Wait. One more thing...
