The Mystery of the Diamond Earring, Part 3

Taylor read the letter out loud:

"Dear Foster,
There are some very valuable gems at this address: 901 S. Grove Street, Copperas Cove, AZ 22754. Rob it on April 29, then we'll split the loot fifty, fifty. Oh and one more thing. Don't mess up on this one unless you want us both to land behind bars!

Caitlyn"

Reading old handwriting
Taylor gulped.

"Now do you believe me?" asked Shenice.

Taylor nodded, then replied, "I thought you lived on N. Grove Street."

"I do," replied Shenice. "901 S. Grove Street is where Ms. Rachel lives. Her husband died a few years ago and left her a bunch of money and gems and stuff."

"But I don't get it," replied Taylor. "If the gems are at Ms. Rachel's house, then why would the thief come here?"

"The thief probably just got our addresses mixed up. We're always getting each other's mail. Anyway, we have to investigate."

"Investigate," said Taylor timidly. "Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure," said Shenice. "We have to protect Ms. Rachel."

"OK," said Taylor. "But you have to promise we won't do anything dangerous."

'Promise!" said Shenice with her fingers crossed behind her back.
