CHAPTER 1:
The straw-berry blonde thru the rag into the sink and sighed. She hated being off cases. She had to fill her time somehow. She had pretty much begged Hannah Gruen the housekeeper to let her do the dishes. She picked the rag back up and finished the bowl and plate that was left in the sink. Just then the phone rang. The slender straw-berry blonde 18 year old named Nancy Drew put the plate that she was drying down and ran to the phone.
"Is there a Ms. Nancy Drew there??" a deep voice asked her.
"This is her," replied Nancy. Oh maybe just maybe it would be a new mystery!! Nancy got a little excited. She always did when the thought of a new case.
"My names Jasper Dusk. Could you…would you come over?? I have something important I need help with and was wondering if you could help me. Please…its urgent."
Nancy got all giddy. How could she say no?? "Yes of course I will," she replied. "How soon do you want me to come over??"
"Right away if you could…please??"
"Sure I'm not busy unless you count about to rearrange the books in my bookcases busy."
"Great!! The address is 5269 E. Grey View Drive. Do you think you could find that without directions?? I just moved here so I have a little trouble finding the place myself."
"Sure. I'll be right over." After their good-byes, Nancy hung the phone, she grabbed her coat and ran out into the beautiful October rainy day and got into her blue mustang and turned it on. Just then she heard a sound in the backseat, but before she could turn around she felt a arm go around her neck and a gun to her head.
"Don't make any movements or if you do you'll regret it…for only a second that is," he chuckled and the gun clicked.
Nancy knew she had to get out this. But how?? She decided that maybe she could distract him if she hit the gas. She took a deep breath and hit the gas. As the car slammed thru the garage door she felt the arm around her neck loosen but the hand the gun was in dropped to the seat and she heard a shot. She then felt a sharp pain in her leg.
