"Welcome to Road Rover Mission Control Sir" said a deep German voice.
Startled the Chancellor whirled around and came face to face with Blitz.
"Hello Blitz" the Chancellor replied relieved. Then he continued "I'm sure you are wondering what I'm doing here".
"Actually Sir I know exactly what you're doing here".
"Really, How"?
"Because I'm the one who brought you here".
"What are you talking about? You didn't bring me here my Blitz did".
"Do you really not recognize me" the Doberman asked.
Now the Chancellor was feeling very confused. He stared at Blitz unable to speak and then a strange thing happened. For the first time the Chancellor took a really good look at Blitz and the longer he looked the more he realized that the Doberman did look familiar, very familiar.
"I don't believe this" the Chancellor whispered. "All this time one of the Road Rovers was my dog".
"Its true" replied Blitz proudly.
"How long have you been a Road Rover?" asked the Chancellor?
"Ever since you have owned me" replied Blitz.
The Chancellor let this information sink in before asking his final question. "Blitz" he began slowly "if you are my dog does that mean that the other Rovers belong to…"
"I'm afraid we can't answer that" said a voice behind the Chancellor. For the second time the Chancellor fought to hide his surprise as Hunter continued.
"It would be very dangerous for you to know where we live".
"If it is so dangerous why was Blitz allowed to tell me his identity" the Chancellor asked.
"Because" Blitz responded "we thought you deserved to know where I was two nights ago considering what happened while I was gone".
"So I take it you were here".
"Well not here exactly, you see we had a very important mission". Blitz stood back beaming and waited for his praise.
The Chancellor was quiet for a moment and then he cleared his throat and spoke in a low, steady voice.
"Let me get this straight" he said. "You're telling me that the reason my home was robbed is because you were out on a mission and not at home to stop the robbers".
"Ja" Blitz replied still waiting for his praise.
"So" the Chancellor continued "you're saying that you think your duty to your friends is more important than your duty to your family"!
"Wha…No!" Blitz objected. "I'm not saying that at all".
"Yes you are" the Chancellor insisted. If you cared about your family you would not have left home that night".
"That's not fair!" Blitz was yelling now. "How was I supposed to know about the robbery"!
"If you had been home you would not have needed to know about it" the Chancellor countered.
