Roxy bit her lip.
"We have to stop the bank robber!"
"Yes, but she probably won't rob again," Detective Smith said.
"She already robbed every bank in the city!"
Roxy sighed. "You're right."
"There's one more place with money," Mrs. Betz said.
"What's that?" Detective Smith asked.
"The mint," Mrs. Betz said.
"Of course!" Roxy said.
"The robber will probably go there next.
And I'll be waiting for her!"
Roxy sat on a big pile of money in the mint.
She waited and waited.
Suddenly a small light formed on one wall.
Roxy gasped. "A wormhole!"
The light spun fast.
It grew bigger.
A woman stepped out of the wormhole.
She grabbed some money and threw it through the wormhole.
"Stop right there!" Roxy shouted.
The woman looked up. "Rocket Girl!"
Roxy flew toward the villain.
The woman held up a blaster.
Wha-zam! An energy blast knocked Roxy back.
The villain jumped into the wormhole—and the wormhole disappeared!
"Grr!" Roxy stamped her foot.
"How will I catch the villain?"
Terrell's phone rang. "Hello?" he whispered.
"Terrell," Roxy said.
"I'm trying to catch a bank robber.
I need you to look up something for me—wormholes."
Terrell did a quick search on his computer.
"Hmm," he said. "A scientist at Metro City University does wormhole research.
Her name is Dr. Vic Nebula. Maybe she can help you."
"Good idea. Thanks!" Roxy said.
Roxy arrived at the university and found Vic Nebula's lab.
Roxy gasped. The lab was filled with money.
"Dr. Nebula is the thief!" Roxy thought.
The scientist stood in front of an open wormhole.
She was holding a strange device. "Dr. Nebula!" Roxy said.
Vic looked over. "Ugh! You're here!"
Roxy put her hands on her hips.
"You're a scientist. Why are you stealing money?"
"I need a bigger lab for my research," Vic said.
"I invented a wormhole device.
When I'm done working on it, I'll be the most famous scientist ever."
Roxy shook her head. "You're going to jail!"
"No," Vic said. "I'm taking this money to a place where nobody will find it!"
Roxy flew fast.
Vic pressed a button on the device.
A new wormhole appeared, and she jumped into it.
She popped out of another wormhole behind Roxy.
Roxy spun around and charged toward Vic.
Vic stepped to the side.
Roxy tried to stop.
But she skidded—right into the wormhole!
As the wormhole closed, Vic laughed.
"Now nobody will ever find Rocket Girl!"
