A Fast Thief

飞毛腿小偷

I need to get to Gem's jewelry! Roxy thought. I have to find out why things are disappearing! Mara was far ahead in the race by now, but Terrell and Jack were running slowly. Hey! Guys! Roxy pretended to breathe hard. I'm out of breath. I need to walk for a bit.

我得去杰姆的珠宝店！ 罗克西心想。 我必须搞清楚东西为什么一直在消失！ 现在比赛里玛拉已经遥遥领先了，但是特雷尔和杰克跑得很慢。 嘿！伙计们！ 罗克西假装喘得很厉害。 我喘不上气了，得走一会儿。

Jack slowed down. Oh good. He was still gasping for air. I'll walk with you. Uh oh. Roxy thought. I can't leave if Jack is with me. Terrell gave Roxy a quick look. Then he started to run faster. Hey Jack! He called over his shoulder. I'm gonna beat you!

杰克放慢了脚步。 哦太好了。 他还在大口喘气呢。 我陪你一起走吧。 哎呀。 罗克西心想。 要是杰克跟着我，我就走不开了。 特雷尔飞快地扫了罗克西一眼。 接着他就开始跑得更快了。 嘿杰克！ 他扭头喊道。 我肯定能赢你！

No way! Jack cried. He hurried after Terrell. Thanks, Terrell, Roxy thought. Seconds later, Roxy arrived at Jem's jewelry. Detective Smith was already there.

不可能！杰克大喊道，赶忙追着特雷尔跑了。 谢谢你呀，特雷尔，罗克西心想。 几秒过后，罗克西就到了杰姆的珠宝店，史密斯警探已经在那儿了。

Hey, Detective! Are you here to buy something for your sweetheart? Actually, um... You are? I was just kidding! Yes, Rocket Girl. I was here to buy a necklace for someone.

嘿，警探！ 你是来给你的心上人买东西的吗？ 那个，嗯... 真的吗？我刚才是开玩笑的啦！ 没错，火箭女孩，我本来是来给人买项链的。

But then all the jewelry in the store disappeared. Jem nodded. It was so strange. One moment, all of my jewelry cases were full. The next moment, poof, they were empty. She frowned. I hope you can find my jewelry.

但是紧接着店里所有的珠宝都消失了。 杰姆点了点头。 太奇怪了。 前一秒，我所有的珠宝盒都还满满当当的。 下一秒，嗖的一下，就全空了。 她皱起了眉头。 我希望你们能找回我的珠宝。
