Benny had written his cell phone number on the documents but Peter didn’t want to take the chance of talking to Benny while he was working. Peter wanted the exchange to be a casual one in which he might pick up a hint or two about Benny’s client through relaxed conversation.

He decided he would lie to Benny and tell him the lab was running behind schedule and the results would be available in the next couple of working days.

Peter did not understand the greeting and asked for Benny, not using his last name for the sake of his laid back tone.
