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.
"You can't catch me, Rocket Girl!" Flick ran faster.
"Flick is quick!" Roxy thought.
Flick shot past the 5K runners. Terrell and Jack were walking. Fwoosh! The wind from Flick knocked them over.
Jack looked around. "Did something just fly past us?"
Mara felt a gust of wind. Then she heard someone rushing up behind her.
She gasped. "Rocket Girl!"
Fwoosh! Flick zipped past the finish line. No one saw her though. She was too fast. Roxy shot by next.
"Rocket Girl wins!" a man said.
Roxy wasn't paying attention to him. She saw Flick running toward the lake. Roxy's eyes went wide. Flick ran across the water's surface!
"Freeze breath!" Roxy thought. She blew. Whoo-ooo-oosh! The lake froze. Flick's feet stuck to the ice.
"Ha!" Roxy said. "I caught you, Flick!"
Flick tried to lift her feet, but they were stuck. "Gah!"
Roxy grabbed her. Then she melted the ice and brought Flick to jail.
Roxy returned to the park. The crowd cheered as she crossed the finish line last.
"Good run, Roxy!" Jack said.
"Thanks," Roxy said. "I guess I lost."
"Yeah, but guess who won," Mara said.
"Who?" Roxy asked.
Terrell grinned. "Rocket Girl!"
