A Problem at the Stadium

Roxy leaned toward Terrell. “ I’ll be right back, ” she said. Terrell’s eyes went wide. “ You can’t get up while the Miners are pitching, Roxy! It’s bad luck. ” Roxy rolled her eyes. “ It’s about Dale Rivers and Manny Gomez. They’ve disappeared. That’s why they’re not here today. I need to find them. ”

“ Oh no! ” Terrell said. “ Good luck. ” After Roxy left, a dark shadow covered the stadium. The crowd looked up and cheered. “ Whoa, ” Jack said. “ That’s cool! ”

Roxy arrived at Police Headquarters. Detective Smith was watching a small monitor. “ You have work to do, Detective. ” Roxy shook her head. “ I can’t believe you’re watching Cooltube videos! ” Detective Smith rolled his eyes. “ I’m not watching Cooltube videos, Rocket Girl.

I’m watching a security video from Metro City Stadium’s parking lot. Take a look. ” Roxy leaned in to watch the video. She saw Dale Rivers and Manny Gomez talking. A dark shadow spread across the parking lot. The two baseball players looked up. They seemed scared. Then they quickly boated up and off the screen.

“ Where did they go?” Roxy asked. “ Did someone—or something—take them?” Detective Smith shook his head. “ I don’t know. ” The detective’s phone beeped. “ Hello?” His face grew pale. “ What? Oh no, that’s terrible! ”
