"I have to get to the Metro City Convention Center," thought Roxy.
"I need to find out who stole the jewels!"
Roxy looked at her friends.
"I'll be back soon," she said.
"I just remembered something.
I forgot to walk my dog!"
"Okay," said Terrell. "See you in a little—"
Roxy ran off.
Roxy arrived at the Convention Center.
She saw a crowd of people.
They looked upset.
All of the jewelry cases were empty.
"Rocket Girl!" Detective Smith called when he saw Roxy.
"I'm glad you're here."
Roxy smiled.
"What are you doing here, Detective?
Shopping for a diamond ring?"
"Ha-ha." Detective Smith pretended to laugh.
"This is serious, Rocket Girl.
Someone stole a lot of valuable jewels."
"I know," said Roxy.
"Have you found any clues?"
"No," said Detective Smith.
"But this wasn't the only robbery tonight.
Jewels were also stolen from the party at the Metro City Grand Hotel."
"Hmm," said Roxy.
"Maybe it's the same thieves.
Jewels were stolen both times."
"Yes!" said a man. "Very valuable jewels.
Those horrible thieves stole my entire collection of rare emeralds!"
"They took my ruby earrings!" said a tall woman.
"And my diamond sunglasses!" said an old woman with blue hair.
She sniffed. "They were my favorite sunglasses."
"Can anyone tell us what happened?" asked Detective Smith.
He took a small notebook out of his pocket.
"Did any of you see anything?"
The tall woman stepped forward.
"I didn't see anything," she said.
"But I heard something—a loud rumble.
It sounded like a bunch of motorcycles."
"I heard the rumble too," said the man.
"Then I heard a zapping sound."
"There was a bolt of electricity," his wife added.
"Next the lights went out.
When the lights came back on, all the jewels were gone!"
"The thieves even took my brand-new diamond tiara," said another woman.
"I was going to wear it to the exhibit tomorrow!"
"What exhibit?" asked Roxy.
"You don't know?" said the woman with blue hair.
She looked surprised.
"The crown jewels will be on display at the Metro City Museum."
"The crown jewels are magnificent," said the man.
"They just arrived in Metro City today.
And tomorrow the exhibit will be open to the public.
It's the biggest, most valuable collection of jewels in the world."
Roxy gasped.
"I know what the jewel thieves are going to steal next—the crown jewels!"
