The Twinns duly arrived at the skyscraper where Der Brain had his headquarters and home. The door was opened by a slightly sinister looking minion

"I am Detective Dawn and this is Detective Erin. We are here to see Der Brain"
"I will announce you to the Master, walk this way."
Dawn and Erin tried their best to copy the erratic shuffle of the minion until he came to a door "The Master is inside. Please enter."
Der Brain was lounging in his favourite throne. "I am Der Brain, und how may I help you ladies?"

"Howdy Der Brain," Dawn said, "I have waited a long time to meet you. I have papers to serve on you for the return of "throne, red, gilt footed, egg shaped, 1 for the use of"
"Vot? are you mad?"
"No, I am a Caitie, and Erin is a Sharon, neither of us are Madisons."
"Nein, nein, I mean are you crazy? zis throne has been in ze Der Brain family for years!"
"For how many years?"
"Zwei!" Der Brain answered.
"I beg your pardon," Dawn said, "Zwie this throne went awol 2 years ago and was last seen heading in the direction of your beachfront pad, having conveniently been mislaid during transit."
"I think he means Two Dawn, Zwei is German for Two." Erin whispered.
"I knew that, Caities are very good linguists. Although some are hard at hearing."
"Ha! you don't scare me mit der empty threats. I have faced ze Jenni Amanda und zat dratted namby pamby Photo Bear."
"That's true, but Twinns are much taller and we have much longer reach." Dawn demonstrated
"And we have eighteen points of poseability" Erin added bravely.
"Neither are we namby pamby. Erin here has her black belt in Wee Pee Too!"
"Vot is Vee Pee Too? it sounds like ze drink to make ze bladder vurk."
"It's a Twinn martial art I will have you know. Now are you going to hand over the throne or must we come and get it? "
"Nein nein, I vill not!"
"Erin, is my chainsaw gassed up? it's time to make sliced egg salad." Dawn said, reaching for her ever trusty chainsaw.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarghh!!! Don't say zings like zat! I give up, take ze chair und skidoodle!"

"Thanks Der Brain. Trust me, I don't like having to do this, I know you have done a lot for the community and have become champion of the underdog. It's just that these strange obscure royal families like trying to make out that they are holier than the rest of us when in reality they all put on their knickers one leg at a time."
"I know, I know, und I am glad zat zey sent such a plucky team to do ze dirty deed und not zat namby pamby Photo Bear. zat bear used to make me boil, und as you know boiled eggs are bad news if you are ze egg being boiled."
Erin wrote out a receipt.

She handed it to Der Brain. "I am pleased to meet you too Der Brain, I must admit I wasn't around in the days when you were trying to take over the world."
"Aaah, zose vere good old days. Mein minions have all gone und I miss mein medals. Vun day ven you have zome time pop around und I vill tell you all about it over a glass of schnapps und a plate of sauerkraut."
"We look forward to it Der Brain, and we will bring Caitlyn along, she would love to meet you."
"Ach zo, I have heard of her, a formidable detective in her own right. Does she duel?"
"Er, not per se, but she is dab hand with the Sword of the Twinn. I will make sure she brings it with her when she comes."
The Twinns said their goodbyes, and took the throne back to the office. "Dawn, I don't know about you, but Der Brain is sure scarey."
"He is, but it's all for show. Still, you never know, maybe this incident will reawaken his interest in world domination. You can never know what is up his sleeve."
"He doesn't have any sleeves Dawn."
"You noticed that too? strange, I wonder how does he duel without any sleeves?"
"Maybe he lost them in a duel? I can't wait to tell Skye about him, do you think he will invite her too? seeing as she is technically obscure royalty?"
"I cannot say. All I know is I will be glad to get this thing out of here and shipped back it it's owners. Methinks its an awful lot of fuss over a fancy egg cup."
