Fiction: Group 3
Under that was another headline: “GIRL MISSING IN HONG KONG”. Camilla knew that it was her.
She looked up at the newspaper seller and asked, “Sir, do you know where the police station is?”
“It’s by the market over there.”
“Thank you,” she said as she headed off.
She arrived in front of the building with a sign “Gong An Ju”
(police station). A policewoman came out
and said,
“ni hao (hello),
are you reporting something?”
“Yes,” Camilla said.
“Follow me,” said the policewoman.
They went to a room.
“What you are reporting about?”
“My name is Camilla. I was the girl from Hong Kong who was missing. I was caught by the man who
robbed the bank.”
She then played the video to the policewoman.
“I know where he is,” Camilla said.
“Take us there immediately before this criminal escapes!” she said.
“Bring your boats too,” Camilla added.
Camilla led the police officers to the river. When she saw the sign,
Huang Bei Ling
, she stopped the boat
and climbed onto the grass. The police followed her.
They found the man standing under an oak tree, packing away the sacks of gold coins. A few officers
rushed out and shouted, “You’re under arrest!” They had him handcuffed, and took him back to the
police station.
The next day, Camilla was waiting in a Hong Kong police station. A chief superintendent walked over to
her holding a newspaper with a headline: “BANK ROBBER ARRESTED IN SHENZHEN”.
“Congratulations! I can’t believe that a child can go through Shenzhen and help capture a thief!” he said to
Camilla.
Camilla beamed.
“We have contacted your parents already, so you will be going back home soon. Thank you for helping us
to find the thief. We have decided to reward you with HK$50,000!”
“Are you joking?” she said with her eyes wide open.
“You were brave and you deserve it,” he said.
Camilla couldn’t believe that she could survive in Shenzhen alone and escape from the robber. She felt
proud that she did something great for her family by winning 50,000 dollars!
The police handed her a paycheck and a crime prevention award certificate. “Yippee!!!” Camilla shouted.
This was the best day of her life.
