Chapter 18: Mali's Report (part 2)

The screen turned from Zim to The Almighty Tallest. Mali sharply saluted and the Tallest replied, "Greetings, Mali." Red said and then he turned to his brother and co-ruler.

"Didn't you want to her something?" Red enquired.

"You have to asked her! She won't listen to me!" Purple said, "It's the same with Cam, she'll listen to me but not listen to you."

Red sighed, "Very Well. Mali! Have you captured the rebel-traitors yet?"

"No, my Tallest. I found the stone in one of the human storage of bourbon." Mali replied.

"Bourbon? What is bourbon?" Purple wondered out loud.

"What are you looking at me for? I don't know." Red said.

"It's a kind of human drink the humans get drunk on. Usually because of anxiety or depression at which they get hooked on it and can not stop drinking." Mali reported.

"Very Well, your dismissed." Purple said. Mali continued to stand there much to Purple's annoyance, "See? That's what I mean! That's what I'm talking about! We need to get new Right Hands."

"They work fine watch! Your dismissed Mali." Red countered. Mali turn off her transmitter and went back to work.

"See." Red sniggered.

Purple rolled his eyes, "Whatever." He went back to the Kitchen to grab a soda.
