Challenge #174

[shivver]

Write a scene where one character must communicate something to another without anyone else knowing. In specific:

• There should be at least one other character present (though you only need to make it clear that someone else is there to possibly intercept the message; they don't have to actually do or say anything in your scene).
  
• The narrator should be neutral, not in the head of either character. The scene is about how they communicate, not about one of them thinking, "How am I going to let that person know?" "Will they understand what I really mean?" or "Well, that was weird, I wonder what she meant?"
  
• You only need to let the reader know that the communication was sent and/or received. The reader doesn't need to know what the message actually was.
  

There are lots of different ways to do this. You could have one of them say something in an odd way that tips off the receiver that words that were chosen have a different meaning. In a Stargate episode I just watched, one character was bidding another farewell and grasped her hands like he was shaking them and passed a note to her secretly. It could simply be a wink, letting the receiver know it's time to execute his part of the plan. You could even do a scene of someone sneaking past a guard into a computer room to send off an email.
