“Said the robbery is relevant to our town. Did not tell all the details. Said it

would be best to talk in person,” replied Frank.“Oh, and he did say he need-
ed Officer Kentley among the two we are sending.”

Clark’s surname was Kentley, and he went by Officer Kentley. It was not a

age to break them open. But this guy burned open an ATM!” yelled Mads

raising his hands. “He burned open an ATM using a gas cutter, emptied it

As Mads explained the case, Clark understood why the case was a difficult
