"I have to get to Mrs. Bun's house," Roxy thought.
"Someone robbed her guests!"
"I'll be right back! I need to call my parents." Roxy yelled to her friends.
"Don't take too long," Terrell said. "The concert is starting soon."
A moment later Roxy shot up into the sky.
"Whoa!" Mara cried. "Rocket Girl!"
Roxy arrived at Mrs. Bun's house.
Mrs. Bun looked upset as Detective Smith crawled around in some rosebushes.
Roxy grinned. "Doing some gardening, Detective?"
"Ha-ha, Rocket Girl." Detective Smith pretended to laugh.
"I—ouch! A thorn poked me."
He got back to his feet and held up his notebook.
"I dropped this in the rosebushes."
The detective turned to Mrs. Bun. "I'm sorry. What were you saying?"
Mrs. Bun took a deep breath.
"I was telling you about my guests.
They are all still here if you want to talk to them.
The servers and the quartet are here too."
"Quartet?" Detective Smith raised an eyebrow.
"A string quartet," Mrs. Bun said.
"I hired four musicians to play during the party."
"What happened before the robbery?" Roxy asked.
"Did you see anything suspicious?"
Mrs. Bun shrugged.
"It's odd, but I don't remember anything.
One minute we were enjoying a lovely afternoon.
And the next minute, everyone's wallets were missing! Our jewelry too!"
Detective Smith made some notes.
"We'll need to interview everyone, Mrs. Bun."
Roxy spotted the musicians.
"Let's start with them."
"Did anybody see anything suspicious?" Roxy asked the musicians.
"No," the cellist said.
"But I hope you find the criminal.
That thief stole my new watch."
He looked at his cello and sighed. "I'm just glad I still have this."
"My ruby earrings are gone!" a violinist said.
"Wait a second," Detective Smith said.
"There are only three of you. Mrs. Bun said you were a quartet."
"Oh, goodness!" the third musician said. "Where's Violet?"
"Who?" Roxy asked.
"Violet Sharp," the cellist said. "She's our other violinist."
"Hmm," Roxy said.
"Someone robbed the guests, and now Violet is gone.
That's pretty suspicious."
"Nonsense," the violinist said.
"Violet is no thief. She's a very talented musician.
In fact, the Metro City Symphony Orchestra invited her to try out."
"Impressive," Detective Smith said.
Then his phone beeped.
"Hello? Oh no! We'll be right there!"
He hung up and looked at Roxy.
"Another robbery just took place.
This one was at Metro City Shopping Mall!"
