New Rochelle's Train Robbery

Chapter 2

Murray picked up the phone and called Sam at her office.

"Wiggletown Police Department. This is Sergeant Pan speaking; may I help you?" she said.

"Sam, it's Murray. Uh, your ex-husband" said Murray on the other side.

"Oh, hi, Muzz. What are you calling the cops for? Did somebody bust your guitar?" said Sam.

"Something's definitely busted, Sam. We were chattering with Charles and his coworker, and... we think there might have been an explosion in the building" said Murray.

"In the building? If there were an explosion in the building, Muzz, you wouldn't be on the phone with me right now" said Sam.

"Okay, near it. We still need your team to check it out" said Murray.

"Alright, fine. We're on our way" said Sam.

She recruited Andy and Jill and drove the squad car to the building. 

"So this is where the little guy's working at, huh?" said Andy.

"You betcha. And now it's our job to investigate it" said Sam.

The girls ran upstairs to the office where Charles Wallace and Rob were waiting with the Wiggles.

"Sam, you made it" said Greg.

"I sure did" said Sam.

Rob looked at Andy and said, "Sam, I've met you and Jill, but who's this other one?"

"Officer Andy McNally. WPD" said Andy holding out her hand.

"Rob Petrie. Pleasure, ma'am" said Rob shaking her hand.  

"So where was this explosion?" said Sam.

"We heard it just outside this window" said Charles Wallace. 

"There were too many people to see what caused it, but I did see that there was a train involved" said Rob.

"A train?" said Sam.

"What is a train doing in this city? I didn't even think trains could run off tracks" said Andy.

"This one can, apparently" said Rob.

"We better get down there" said Sam.

"Yes. Let's" Jill agreed quietly.

But then she shifted her gaze downward and started breathing deeply.

"Jill? What's wrong?" said Charles Wallace.

"Nothing, Charles. Just... feeling a bit off" said Jill holding her tummy.

"Sarge? Wh-why do you think she's feeling off?" Andy whispered to Sam.

"Most likely because it's morning" Sam whispered back.

"Wait; she's..." Andy began.

But she stopped in her tracks as Jill spontaneously threw up. 

Her vomit accidentally splashed onto Rob's shirt. 

"Jill! Honey! That's quite enough now" said Sam.

"Yeah, that felt good. Did you get that out?" said Rob awkwardly.

Andy handed Jill a tissue for her to wipe her mouth.

"Let's go outside. Get you some air" said Andy.

"But the train" said Sam.

"Sam, you take care of Jill. We'll worry about the explosion" said Anthony.

"Are you sure?" said Sam.

"We've always been a help to you. The Wiggles will get you started" said Jeff. 

"Thanks, guys" said Andy.

"Oh, Mr Petrie; I am so sorry" Jill cried.

"That's alright!" said Rob. 

The girls left and sat by the building's entrance while the Wiggles ran in the direction of the explosion.
