Lily Zusk looked at the crowd. "Who wants to teleport next?"
Several people raised their hands.
Roxy leaned toward Terrell.
"I'll be right back," she whispered. "Lily is stealing things."
"Really?" Terrell whispered. "How?"
"I'm not sure," Roxy said. "She must be teleporting valuable things to a different place. Rocket Girl will handle it."
Terrell smiled. "Good luck!"
Roxy ducked behind a sign. Then she jumped back out.
"Hey, look!" a kid shouted. "It's Rocket Girl!"
Roxy stomped toward Lily Zusk. "You're under arrest!"
She expected Lily Zusk to get angry. But instead the woman smiled.
"Rocket Girl!" Lily said. "I'm so happy to see you!"
Roxy scratched her head. "Why are you happy to see me? I'm going to arrest you."
Lily laughed. "Oh, you won't arrest me. You might try, of course. But you'll find out that's impossible." Lily pressed some buttons on the side of one booth. "Do you know why that's impossible?"
Roxy frowned. "Why?"
"Because you'll never catch me!" Lily ran into the booth and disappeared.
Zoom! Roxy flew into the booth too. Light flashed. Suddenly she was standing in the middle of a street. Beep, beep! A car was speeding toward her.
"Yikes!" Roxy jumped out of the way.
Honk! Honk! A huge truck drove fast. Roxy jumped again. She landed on a crowded sidewalk.
"Hey!" an old woman said. "You almost knocked me over! Oh, it's you, Rocket Girl!"
"Sorry!" Roxy moved out of the way and looked around. "I teleported to downtown Metro City," she thought. "But where did Lily go?"
Two men stood in a laboratory. A big sphere sat in the center of the room. Lots of wires connected the sphere to a computer. There were also two booths.
Light flashed in one booth. Lily Zusk stepped out of it.
"Hey, boss!" one man said. "How did it go?"
"Did your plan work?" the other man asked.
"It sure did!" Lily said. "Rocket Girl was at the technology hub building. And she fell for my trick! She saw me steal things—just like I hoped she would. And now . . ." Lily stepped in front of the big sphere. "She's somewhere else!"
The men laughed. Lily sat down at the computer.
"What do we do now, boss?" one of the men asked.
Lily looked over her shoulder. "Gather the entire crew. I want you all to rob every bank in the city!"
