Hi my name is Jeff, and I am 13 years old.
I have a plan to rob the bank for money. Afterwards I will escape to my hidden fort in the valley of Cheetahs. I have built my fort to include a bunker to hold all my food and escape equipment. The fort has floor traps which swallow people up when they are stood on. The front and back entrance have lasers and cameras to alert me of intruders.

Jeff’s plan today was to rob the bank. He went and broke in and stole ten million dollars. He drove away in his car and dumped it before he got on his motorbike. He drove to the valley of Cheetahs.

When Jeff arrived, he had toast for his breakfast and a big glass of milk. Then he went for a walk around the forest to check his security cameras and traps. He then played on his zipline and had dinner. After dinner he went to sleep down underneath his bunker. In his bunker he had a fold out couch which had a hidden trap door to a tunnel which went to the river.

The next morning, he made a slide and ladder from the top of his fort so he could escape quicker because he is worried that someone may come and break in. As he is working on his escape plan, the police come to his fort. The alarms startle Jeff. He runs to get away. He climbs up his ladder and grabs hold of the zipline. He swings off with all his might. He swishes through the trees and disappears into the thick forest. He crashes into his mattress which he has hidden at the end of the zipline. He gets up and grabs his hidden backpack of all his secret equipment. He jumps on his motorbike and speeds off.

The police are still looking for him in his fort. They cannot find him. He was super quick to get away and left no trace behind him.
