Ronald Grump invites Moody to Las Vegas (satire)

Moody was worried and the phone call came like a breath of fresh air to rekindle hopes of a new bond between him and Ronald Grump, the most powerful man on Earth. There was a big age gap between them and a still yawning chasm of diverse culture. But, Moody knew that he could win over Ronald.
He just need some time to size up his new found ally.
‘Hi Moody,’ Ronald said in a loud voice. ‘How are you this morning? Had a good night’s sleep? Breakfast?’
‘I rise early,’ Moody said. ‘And, I always have sound sleep. I don’t need to count sheep.’
‘I was joking,’ Ronald laughed. ‘You are waking up now and I am going to sleep. It’s the time difference. But, don’t forget – we are friends.’
‘Bahut dhanyabad,’ Moody replied.
‘Danny is bad? Which Danny?’
‘Danny is not bad,’ Moody explained. ‘I said dhanyabad which means thanks. I am counting on you to keep the pests off my back.’

‘Don’t you worry. I have my work cut out. The world will be a better place to live in with me at the helm. I’ll stop outsiders from entering my house. I’ll put up barricades. I’ll send bloodhounds after them.’
‘What do you mean by outsiders?’
‘I don’t need to spell it out. It is obvious, isn’t it? Anyway – I just called to tell you we’ll make a great pair. You and I. We’ll make things happen.’
‘That’ll be great. We must meet and chalk out a plan.’
‘Why don’t you come over and let your hair down? I’ll show you around Las Vegas – you can try your hand at the casino. And – we can have a ball at one of the night clubs,’ Ronald Grump was bubbling with excitement.’
‘Thanks for the offer – but, I am not of that type.’
‘Hey man, it’ll all be discreet,’ Ronald said in a low voice. ‘No one will know. My secret service men are experts, they will keep your media out.’
Moody gulped. He did not have a ready answer – and that has never happened before.
‘Are you afraid that your wife will find out?’
‘She is not of that type,’ Moody said. ‘She has full faith in me.’
‘I am sorry,’ Ronald apologized. ‘When I get bored, I change partners. It makes life interesting. Anyway – I’ll expect you to drop in on me. We’ll change the world.’,br> Next day the telephonic conversation between Moody and Grump was the media headline with speculation on what was discussed. No one will guess the truth. (to be contd …)
