Detective Ramirez calls Jim Gordon's wife and they have a brief conversation about the Gordon family's safety. Ramirez is however under gun point, so one might say she's only relaying a man's words and it's not actually a conversation between two women.

Having one women forced at gun point (by a man) to talk to another women does not really pass the test.

A warning does not denote an actual conversation.
