 Part 4: The Chase

That night, Tommy and Emily stayed awake, watching and waiting. They had set up a series of traps around their house, hoping to catch the Phantom Thief.

Hours passed, and the children began to lose hope. But just as they were about to give up, a shadow moved outside the window. They held their breath, hearts pounding.
