"What do I do next?" Zane asked himself. "I need to deposit some money to the bank," he told himself again. Zane walked over to the bank and went inside. His ticket was B32. Once Zane got in, he saw some figures talking quietly. He tiptoed to the room and peered inside. "There are robbers inside," Zane said in a deep and quiet voice.
He couldn't help it. "SMASH!!!" Zane had kicked the door and it surprisingly fell down. Zane heard light footsteps and followed them. "Zane!" He looked around. His friend Dennis had called him. "Dennis, hi," Zane said a little puffed. "What are you doing here?" Dennis asked a little shocked. "There are robbers," Zane said darkly. They both heard footsteps again and followed them. Soon they had found three robbers with three full bags of money. One of the robbers shouted, "RUN!!!" They ran and so did Zane and Dennis.
Zane got one robber and Dennis called the police. "The police are coming," Dennis said, and surely the police were outside. Zane and Dennis ran for the other two robbers. They both jumped at the same time and they hit each other. "OUCH!" they both cried out. When Zane and Dennis were soon puffed out, on the other side of the robbers, there were police. They turned around to see us. They were trapped. The police put handcuffs on the robbers. "Thank you very much," the police said thankfully.
When they got out, the bank was full of people. "YEAH!!!" the crowd had cheered. The next day, Zane and Dennis celebrated at the park. Zane and Dennis both got ten thousand dollar reward. "HIP HIP HOORAY!! HIP HIP HOORAY!!"
