      The Girl with Green Eyes

      THE GIRL WITH GREEN EYES

      Greg works at the Shepton Hotel in New York. Opposite the hotel there is a coffee shop, and Greg goes there for a coffee every day after work. Every day he sees a girl there with beautiful green eyes. One day, Greg sits next to the girl. She tells him her name is Cassie, and she asks him for help.

      Cassie tells Greg that she is an artist. She says her stepfather has her sketch books, and Cassie wants them back. She also says her stepfather is staying at the Shepton Hotel, so Greg agrees to help.

      Greg is very happy when he gets the sketch books and gives them to Cassie. Cassie is very happy, too.

      But then Greg meets his friend Mike. Mike tells Greg that he’s in trouble. The police want to talk to him and are waiting at his apartment.

      What is wrong? Why do the police want to talk to Greg?
