Good or Bad?

By Maxwell Peters

Yesterday, at 3:51 PM in the small town of Elmore, Arkansas a five year old girl named Agatha was locked in a safe by her own sister in the Elmore Bank. With no combination set on the lock the little girl only had 10 minutes to live. We got to interview the mother of the two girls. “We were getting ready to go to the family dinner and then we heard a scream, the others and I dropped everything and ran upstairs following the shriek.”

What was your reaction when you found out the scream was from one of your own?

“I was so frightened for Agatha and I, I almost fainted.”

I see that Agatha is fine and out of the safe now. How did that happen?

“Well thank god for Ralph Spencer, Agatha’s hero. He took out safe cracking tools and started going at the lock, then he worked his magic and took my baby out of that safe.”

Who is this Ralph Spencer and where is he now?

“Ralph, at least we think that’s his name was my sister, Annabel Adams’ fiance. After he showed us his true identity he talked to a strange man by a buggy and took off. After that we never saw him again.”

We got to talk with Annabel Adams about the event. We asked Annabel about what occurred. She said she was devastated that she lost the love of her life. She told us that she talked to a detective about Spencer.

“When I talked to detective Ben Price he told me that Ralph’s real name is Jimmy Valentine and he has been on the run to crack safes ever since he got released from jail.”

Are you and Valentine still engaged?

In a very powerful tone she declared “No! He is a disgrace to my name. I will never speak to him again.”

What do you think? Jimmy Valentine, good or bad?
