A Good Run

A Good Run

The window washer fell. Zoom! Roxy flew down and caught him. The man hugged Roxy. “ Thank you! ” “ No problem! ” Roxy placed the man on the sidewalk. She started to look for Flash, but just then her watch beeped. “ Mayor Bloom, ” Roxy said. “ What’s wrong?”

“ Someone robbed Greenstar Grocery! ” Mayor Bloom said. “ I’m on my way! ” Roxy flew toward Greenstar Grocery. Her watch beeped again. “ Mayor Bloom?” “ There was another robbery, ” the mayor said. “ It was at Midtown Shoes. ” Roxy turned around.

Mayor Bloom called again. “ Forget about Midtown Shoes, Rocket Girl. The thief just robbed West Slope Gallery. ” “ Flick is fast! ” Roxy thought. The phone on Mayor Bloom’s desk rang. “ Hello? Oh, that’s terrible! ” “ What happened now, Mayor?” Roxy asked.

“ Three restaurants were robbed, ” Mayor Bloom said. “ A sporting goods store was robbed too. ” Roxy sighed. “ Don’t worry, Mayor. I’ll catch the thief. ” Roxy closed her watch and landed on a building. “ How will I catch Flick?” Roxy tapped her chin. “ I know! ”

Roxy flew up high. She could see the entire city. “ I’ll wait until I see Flick, ” Roxy thought. “ Then I’ll zoom down and catch her. ” Roxy waited. Finally she saw Flick zooming across Metro City Park. Roxy shot after her.
