and objects. This robbery took place a decade before the innovative dynamite
so Pierce and his comrades had to obtain four keys to the safes where the
money would be kept. It was especially frustrating for Pierce when the
railroad company needed to fix the safes and delayed the date of the robbery.

ROBBERY by Michael Crichton. (Eugene C., 8th grade student, Rundlett Middle
