It was almost time to close, when two men entered Phil’s Diner. They both wore caps, while mufflers hid half their faces. Instead of sitting at one of the tables, they walked right up to the counter. One of the men pulled out a pistol and pointed it at Phil. “Give us all the money you have!” he demanded. Phil immediately opened the cash box and started pulling out the cash. Unnoticed by them, Sally, the waitress, quietly slipped into the kitchen and called the police. However, she accidentally brushed against some boxes, which clattered to the ground. Hearing the noise, one of the armed thieves rushed there, as well. However, Sally hid herself well, holding her breath and hoping that the police would arrive soon! Just then the first thief called out, “Hey, we’ve got the cash; let’s get out of here!” The two thieves rushed out, straight into the waiting arms of the police!
