Clark stopped his pacing when the phone rang, and he hurriedly snatched it up.
"Hello?"
He paused and listened to the voice at the end of the line.
"Mr. Kent? This is Dana Calvert from Metropolis Music and Video Depot. We've got Perry White down here."
"Oh, good, he's safe!"
Clark heard a loud crash through the phone.
"Mr. Kent? Mr. Kent, are you still there? Mr. White has torn down our cardboard cut out of Elvis and is starting to dance with it!" Clark could hear Perry's off key singing wafting through the pnoe lines "Mr. Kent! Can you hear me?" Dana shouted over the cacaphony.
"...Yes, I heard you. Don't worry, he's harmless. Just don't do anything to spook him."
"My staff is more that capable of handling this Mr. Kent," Dana defended haughtily.
"I know, I know."
"My assistant manager is sitting him down with Blue Hawaii right now. I think that might help calm him down."
"Thanks, I appreciate that."
"When you made that public announcement I had no idea it would be this bad."
"Yeah, no kidding."
"Do the Space Rats always cause this type of behavior?"
"You've no idea."
"Well, he's calmed down for the time being Mr. Kent, but I suggest you come pick him up sooner rather than later. And perhaps you could help us to settle some of the damage?"
"Don't worry about it; I'll be right over. Thanks very much!"
