As Owen laid his leg on the desk, he grinned with satisfaction as if he was looking at a golden trophy, “When’s lunchtime? I've been working all night and I'm starving! ” At that moment, the boss announced that Owen is the best guard in the city bank because he was the first one to report the robbery that just happened.

Yesterday night, someone robbed the city bank. “I still don’t understand how the thief broke in. All the entrances and exits are safely secured. I’ve checked all the CCTV.“ Owen moaned.

“There’s a woman with curly ginger hair who seems suspicious. I came across her several times at the scene.” the boss suspected.

“I think she is just a normal customer, according to my investigation,” Owen explained.

At lunch time, the boss said, ‘Actually, I think Jon robbed the bank, because he is skinny so he could fit through the gap to the inside of the bank and since the robbery he is always nervous all the time. Do you think so?"

"Yeah, I think so too because I saw a skinny man on the CCTV. I think that was Jon !”

“When I finish lunch, I will speak to him.”

Later that day, the boss went to Jon’s office and knocked on the door.

"Come in.” Jon said weakly. When the boss walked in he slammed the door behind him.

“Well, are you the thief?”

“No.”

“Then why are you always nervous since the robbery?”

“It’s because on that day my wife started to get sick!”

"You are lying!"

“I AM NOT LYING,” he shouted. Then he rushed off.

The next week, the boss walked past Owen's office and saw a ginger wig poking out at the corner of Owen’s drawer. A chill ran down the boss’s spine. The boss’s eyes narrowed and thought, “Owen was the thief the whole time!’
