Mystery Girl

Dana Stewart was sipping tea and listening to music one evening when there was a knock on her
door. It was her friend, Detective Mike MacGregor. She could tell from his appearance that he
was in trouble. He had dark circles under his eyes, his curly hair was a mess, and the beginnings
of a beard proved that he hadn't shaved in a while.

"Come in, Mike," she said. "You look terrible."

"I'm sorry to bother you so late at night, Dana," he said. "I wouldn't ordinarily, but I'm in such a
desperate situation. I really need your help."

"Take a seat," Dana said. "Can I get you some coffee? You look like you could use some."

"Yes. Thank you. And can I bother you for something to eat?" Mike asked. "I haven't had a
normal meal in two days."

"Sure. No problem," she answered.

Dana brought Mike a turkey sandwich and a cup of black coffee. He stirred in some sugar, and
began his story.

"A dangerous spy has escaped from Springville Prison. His name is Clive Wesley. The prison
guards lost his trail, but we believe he's headed for Canada. We have to catch him before he
leaves the country!".

"What did he do?" asked Dana.

"He sold top secret government information to an enemy spy agency," said Mike. "He's also
thought to have been involved in the Dawson murder. On top of that, in order to escape prison,
he sneaked up on a guard and shot him. Take my word for it, Dana. He's dangerous."

"What does he look like?" asked Dana.

"He has a pale face with red-colored cheeks," replied Mike. "He has light blond hair, which he's
probably already dyed another color. He's a master of disguises."

"All right," said Dana. "I'll go. You stay here."

Dana began to spin around. Soon, she was spinning very quickly. Then, right before Mike's eyes,
Dana turned into her other self: Mystery Girl!

"I'll be back with your prisoner," she said. "You can count on me!"

"Good luck, Mystery Girl," said Mike, as she flew out the window and into the night.

Chica misteriosa

Dana Stewart beba t y escuchaba msica una noche cuando llamaron a su puerta. Era su amigo, el
detective Mike MacGregor. Poda decir por su apariencia que estaba en problemas. Tena crculos
oscuros debajo de sus ojos, su cabello rizado era un desastre, y el comienzo de una barba demostr que
no se haba afeitado en un rato.

-Vamos, Mike -dijo ella-. "Te ves terrible."

-Lamento molestarte tan tarde por la noche, Dana -dijo-. "No lo hara normalmente, pero estoy en una
situacin desesperada, realmente necesito tu ayuda."

-Tmese un asiento -dijo Dana. -Puedo traerme un poco de caf?

- S. Gracias, y puedo molestarte por algo de comer? -pregunt Mike. "No he tenido una comida normal
en dos das."

"Claro, no hay problema", respondi.

Dana trajo a Mike un sndwich de pavo y una taza de caf negro. Se agit un poco de azcar y comenz
su historia.

"Un espa peligroso ha escapado de la prisin de Springville, su nombre es Clive Wesley, los guardias de
la prisin perdieron su rastro, pero creemos que se dirigir a Canad, tenemos que atraparlo antes de
que l salga del pas".
"Qu hizo l?" -pregunt Dana.

"Vendi informacin secreta del gobierno a una agencia de espas enemigas", dijo Mike. "Tambin se
cree que estuvo implicado en el asesinato de Dawson, y para escapar de la prisin, se meti
furtivamente en un guardia y le dispar, toma mi palabra, Dana, es peligroso".

-Qu aspecto tiene? -pregunt Dana.

-Tiene un rostro plido con mejillas de color rojo -respondi Mike-. "Tiene el pelo rubio claro, que
probablemente ya est teido de otro color, es un maestro de los disfraces".

-Muy bien -dijo Dana-. Yo me ir, te quedas aqu.

Dana empez a dar vueltas. Pronto, ella estaba girando muy rpidamente. Entonces, justo antes de los
ojos de Mike, Dana se convirti en su otro yo: Mystery Girl!

-Volver con tu prisionero -dijo-. "Usted puede contar conmigo!"

"Buena suerte, Mystery Girl", dijo Mike, mientras ella volaba por la ventana y hacia la noche.
- Sometimes you're so aggressive, Cathy.
- I'm not aggressive. You're just very passive.
- But that's the third time you complained to the server.
- Well, if my food is cold or overdone I should be able to send it back.
- That's true, but you could do it in a nicer way.
- When you're too nice, people don't respect you.
- I'd rather be nicer and get less respect.
- That's the difference between you and me.
Boys, I know I've told you that nothing is more important than hard work. And you have
certainly worked hard. But working hard is not the only thing that makes a good sports team.
There is something else - teamwork. Not many teams in the league have players that work
together as well as you do. And no one would believe that you only started playing together a
few weeks ago. So now, before you go out on the field, I will give you neither advice nor long
speeches. Just keep doing what you're doing!
