Mike sat back and smiled. Today was a day to relax, to celebrate the
time America became a free country. “I feel so great!” Mike said, stretching, “I
think I should probably go over to Bob’s house” So he went. At Bob’s house,
they sat down on his couch and watched Johnny Tremain. For once in a long time,
they relaxed together.
The robber was also watching Johnny Tremain. “Such a good movie!” the
robber exclaimed after he finished the movie. The robber ran outside and
started hitting baseballs. The big baseball game this afternoon was going to be
awesome! It was between the Eagles and the Wildcats. He couldn’t wait!
“IwannaseethebaseballgameIwannaseethebaseballgame!” He shouted, running around
his house. He couldn’t contain his excitement. Why, it felt so good not to be a
robber. Then he watched Johnny Tremain again, to stop himself from jumping
around so much. Then he watched it again, again, and again. Finally, it was
time for the game.
“Seat 95322” Mike read from his ticket. He quickly found his seat, and
watched the baseball players warming up. “Seat 95323” Bob read, and sat down
next to Mike, “Hi buddy!” On the other side of the big stadium, the robber was
reading his ticket. “Seat 95321” He read, “Seriously? I have to go all the way
to the other side?” When he got to his seat, he sat down next to Mike. “Oh,
it’s you!” The robber said. “Oh, hi!” replied Mike, “What’s your name?” “Joe”
replied the robber. “Oh, hi Joe!” said Mike. They looked toward the field. The
baseball game was starting!
“Welcome to the 93rd annual 4th of July baseball
game!” The announcer said into his horn, “today’s game will be between the
Wildcats and the Eagles!” A big cheer rose from the crowd. “This is really
exciting!” The robber exclaimed. The players strode onto the field. The game
was on.
The Wildcats were batting first. “From the Wildcats, Mark McLowy!”
“WHAT!!!” Mike shouted, “HE’S SUPPOSED TO BE IN JAIL!” “I think he got out for
good behavior” Bob said, “besides, his crime wasn’t all that bad, so his
sentence would probably be a short one”. Mark was really good. He immediately
hit a home run. All the other Wildcats struck out. Then the Eagles were
batting. Mark was pitching. Mark struck all the Eagles out. The same thing
happened. Soon, the score was 5-0. Mike noticed something, though. Mark had
some sort of thing on his neck, which he always would rub before he pitched and
batted. Mike wondered what it was.
In the end, the Wildcats won, 15-0. After Mark left the stadium, Mike followed
Mark. Soon, they came to an apartment. “Hey! Stop right there!” Mike shouted.
“What was on your neck at the baseball game?” “Nothing!” Mark said, and quickly
went in. Mike then went home and looked it up on the internet. Turns out, it
was pine tar. That was illegal! Mike ran to Mark’s apartment, but then realized
he had no way to get in. Just as he started walking away, he bumped into the
very, very fat police officer. “Hi!” Mike said, “I think someone cheated at the
baseball game, and I want you to get into his apartment. “Who?” The police
officer asked. “Mark, the one that just got out of prison!” Mike replied. The
police officer got into the apartment, and the very, very fat police officer
scoured Mark’s apartment, knocking over everything. Sure enough, he found some
pine tar. “You’re coming with me!” the police officer said, and led Mark away
to his police car.
After that, Mike went to Bob’s house, and watched Johnny Tremain again,
and again, and again.
