Wendy told her story to Jennifer. She didn’t like working for Mr. Kelly
because he was not a nice man. But Wendy needed a job. She worked there for
about a year. That’s where Wendy met Richard.
Ten days ago Mr. Kelly called Wendy into his office. He told her he wanted
her to go to Germany on the weekend. She refused. But Mr. Kelly did not take no
for an answer. Wendy was scared, so she agreed to go to Germany.
When Wendy was at the airport, she saw Richard was there, too. Mr. Kelly
sent him to travel with Wendy. Wendy was upset. She told Richard about the egg
shaped boxes. She told Richard she thought Mr. Kelly was selling stolen jewellry.
When they arrived in Germany, Richard called the police, but he didn’t tell Wendy.
Richard and Wendy met Mr. Kelly’s friends. They went outside the city to an old
house surrounded by trees. All at once there were noises outside and police came
running into the building. The police caught the thieves. They thanked Richard for
his help.
After all this, Richard and Wendy went to the police station in Frankfurt,
Germany. The police asked Richard and Wendy if they would help them with one
more thing. The police were happy because they caught all the thieves in Frankfurt.
Now they wanted to catch Mr. Kelly. He was a famous thief. They knew a lot about
him. Before Wendy had time to think about it, Richard said, “Sure! We will help!”
The German police wanted Richard and Wendy to bring 3 boxes back to
England. The German police told Richard and Wendy that they would talk to the
British police so that they would not get into any trouble.
Richard and Wendy arrived in England and brought the earrings directly to
Mr. Kelly’s house. Mr. Kelly was very pleased. He gave some gold earrings to Wendy
for her birthday. He also wanted to give Wendy a birthday party. He planned for
everyone to meet at Maxim’s next week. Wendy didn’t want the earrings or the
party, but finally she agreed.
That Wednesday Richard came by the office. Wendy was there, but Mr.
Kelly wasn’t. Richard asked Wendy for the keys to the office. He found a letter in
the office that he said would be useful. Mr. Kelly came back and Richard and
Wendy got out of the office quickly. Mr. Kelly didn’t see them.
