A Bleak Situation Recognized
Layla quickly raced out of Rashid's bedroom to tell her mother and father what had happened.
"Mom! Dad," Layla called out. "I can't find Rashid!"
Sofia came out of the study, "Layla, Layla, indoor voice, please." Sofia reminded her daughter.
"Sorry, Mom," Layla said. "I am just looking all over the castle for Rashid!"
Zandar looked up from signing some important documents.
"Isn't he practicing dazzleball in the royal stadium?" the sultan asked his daughter.
"No he isn't, Dad," Layla clarified. "and I have searched the entire kingdom for him."
Sofia turned to Zandar, "We had better contact the Royal Prep headmistresses." she said.
"We should, Sofia," Zandar said urgently. "I know we should."
