After a brief pause, King Alex looked up and said, "Arquimitris put Argos through in speaker mode only."
In a moment a desperate voice reverberated through the room.
"Alex! it's terrible! A complete disaster!"
"Argos, what's wrong?" King Alex asked the voice coming from the intercom.
"Alex. I have been robed! The humiliation! Right under my nose, someone took my precious RX3000!"
"So-someone took your broom?" King Alex tried to act surprised.
"It is not just a broom Alex!" cried the voice in the intercom. "It is a prototype. One of Verchau's newest creations. There is none other like it in the galaxy!"
I could see that the King of Jupiter II was getting increasingly nervous.
"Alex. I, King Argos, ruler of Neptune II swear to find the culprit and I want your help in this endeavor."
"Me?!" King Alex's eyes opened wide.
"Yes, you. After all, you are the Supreme King. You govern over all of us and as such I want you to help me save my honor."
"Well, you see, maybe..."
"NO EXCUSES!" The sudden yell gave everyone in the room a fright, "Alex, when I tried to contact Verchau he didn't pick up my call. I don't know how but I think he might suspect I lost his creation. I can't have him mad at me. He is my top tech supplier."
"So you are worried that Verchau might be mad at you?" King Alex was a little relieved and confused. At least the clean-freak King Argos wasn't too focused on his precious broom.
"Yes, I am worried if Verchau cancels my contracts but I also want my broom back though. The culprit won't get away with insulting me. I will finish something here and then head over to Diamondmoon. We will solve this Alex!"
"ha? Argos wait!" Too late. King Argos had already cut communication.
A deep silence came over the room as the King of Diamondmoon stared blankly at the intercom to the right of his desk. The King of Jupiter II stared blankly at King Alex and the Prince simply stared from one king to the other.
