Hi Sally,
Can I stay with you tonight? I’m afraid to sleep at home because there was a robbery in

dirty footprints on the floor. When she heard people talking in the living room, she
suddenly understood what was happening. She ran to her neighbours and told them
to call the police. They came five minutes later, but the criminals were already driving
away. Kelly didn’t see them, so she couldn’t give the police officers a description.
