The Break Ins
That night Sarah stayed up staring at the picture until about three thirty in the morning. When she did she was woken by a crash in the kitchen.
"What the hell was that?" she said panting. She got up and ran out of the room to the kitchen.
"Hurry! She's up!" yelled a burglar to his partner. Sarah ran out of the room and grabbed the fire extinguisher and hit him over the head. She turned and realized that the picture of her parents was missing and the other burglar was outside running!
"Hey!" Sarah screamed as she ran after him. When she left she heard more rummaging inside. She kept running after that one burglar. She knew she could catch him. After what happened to her she was able to run a mile without panting.
"Get out of here. All I took was three bucks and some stupid picture," he yelled almost ready to drop to the ground.
"I need that picture!" Sarah yelled. The man reached in his bag and threw the picture to the ground. Sarah grabbed it and rubbed off the dirt, she looked for cracks in the glass but everything was fine except a dent in the frame. She ran back to the house remembering the knocked out burglar. When it was in sight she realized that her house was on fire! "The plans!" she screamed. She no longer worried about the burglars or her house but the ANTI-GODZILLA robot's plans were inside! She ran inside, she could barely see through all the smoke. "Ow!" she had walked into a wall. She needed those plans or the whole project would be ruined. When she finally got to her room and reached up on the shelf where it was placed all she felt was wood. She couldn't believe it. All the hope of getting back at Godzilla was on that paper. Now it was gone.
The next couple of weeks Sarah lived in the lab. She reported to the police what the burglar looked like and waited for him to be found. Unfortunately they never found him. Sarah decided to play it by memory, she would try her best to remember them and continue the robot. After three long hard weeks Shay decided to "work late" while Sarah went to sleep.
"I could offer her a spot in my apartment building. There is an open room. I can let her stay there un," he was cut off by the security alarm.
"What's going on?" said Sarah just waking up. The burglar from her house was standing in the doorway. "Its you! Give me those plans now!" He had the chest in his left hand. This chest held the robot's plans along with the expenses chart.
"I swear I broke in to return it and turn myself in. I've been shot three times in the leg since this started." He put the chest on the ground and put his hands in the air. He started backing away slowly.
"Die!" yelled Shay from behind him. (Shotgun shots). The burglar dropped to the ground with a loud thud from the metal cat walk. Sarah wasn't sure what to say or think. To be happy, mad or sad. She didn't know whether to thank Shay or scold him. She just stood there staring at the chest and thinking.
He can't go to jail for killing a wanted criminal, she thought. She repeated it over and over again in her mind. She had to convince herself before convincing anyone else. She had what she needed. And after three long weeks of nothing but research she could finally continue on this giant ANTI-GODZILLA robot. And revenge on Godzilla.
