Nettie gasping for air tried to speak to the clerk. “Excuse me miss, wait…wait, got to catch our breath…ok… can you tell us where the police station is, there’s robbery on the Henrietta III!” “The Henrietta III, are you sure?” “Oh yes, we’re sure. I saw it. It’s happening right now!” “Of course I’ll call the police. Wait right there.” “Okay. We’ll wait. Listen Sam,” Nettie is nearly completely out of breath. “Let’s just stay calm.

I was pretty nervous then; but that’s another story. ” Now you could hear a police siren.
