The Mysteries We'll Never Solve

by NinjalyJen

This is a story that approaches all the things that Herinteractive never let us know - such as why Henry Bolet's coffee table in Nancy Drew: Legend of the Crystal Skull has lasers installed in it. There are *SPOILERS* for villains throughout the entire series in this story, so if you don't want to know, don't read. Please review!

1. Legend of the Crystal Skull: Laser

"Henry," Nancy Drew said as she walked over to the messy-haired young man. "Can I ask you a weird question?"

"Since you've been asking them all day to no end, do I have a choice but to say yes?" A rather annoyed Henry Bolet answered.

"Why are there lasers in your coffee table?"

Henry's eyes widened. "What?"

"Yeah, that was my reaction too." Nancy said. "But seriously, there are, like, five lasers in there!"

From the look on Henry's face, Nancy guessed that he was as in the dark about the lasers in the coffee table as she was.

Some mysteries were better off not to be solved.

Author's Note: Thanks to arglefumph (Michael) and all of the people in the livestream videos for the Scary Nancy Drew Game Marathon 2013 – the inspiration for this one-shot couldn't have come without you!

Also... how the heck does Henry not know that he has laser in his coffee table? I thought that'd be one of the things he would recognize instantly, but no... of course not.
