The Bank Robber

The Bank Robber

" I have to get to Metro City Central Bank, ” thought Roxy. “ Somebody is robbing it! ” She ran over to Mr. Green. " Mr. Green, ” said Roxy. “ I just remembered something. Principal Penn wanted to, um, talk to me. ” “ Go ahead, Roxy, ” said Mr. Green.

A moment later Roxy shot through the air. “ Look! ” cried Mara. “ Rocket Girl! ” Terrell scratched his head. “ Where did Roxy go?” Roxy arrived at Metro City Central Bank.

Police cars surrounded the building. The bank’s front doors were smashed. Smoke poured out of them. A crowd of people stood across the street. “ Rocket Girl! ” called Detective Smith. Roxy flew over to the detective. “ Are you trying to deposit a check, Detective?” Roxy grinned.

Detective Smith frowned. “ This isn’t funny, Rocket Girl. A robbery is taking place! ” “ I know, ” said Roxy. “ Is the bank robber still in the bank?” Detective Smith nodded. “ I think so. ” “ Do you know who he is?” asked Roxy. A woman in the crowd stepped forward. “ Do you mean ‘what’ he is?”

Roxy was confused. “ I saw the robber, ” said the woman. “ He looks like a giant machine! ” “ It’s true, ” said a man in a suit. “ He’s covered in big, heavy armor. He looks like an army tank! ” “ Hmm, ” said Detective Smith. “ This must be connected to the crime at Metro City army base. ”
