Title of Story: The Unsolved Case
Type of Story: AU
Rating of Story: T
Characters in Story: F, J, Fe, L, and OC: Bethany Taylor
Warnings: Violence, very light language (words like crap, crud, shoot, heck, and darn), and one reference to child abuse via dream form, and I know you're probably like: huh? But, well, you'll see...
Plot Blurb: Frank Hardy, 19 and a freshman in college, and Joe, now 18 and starting college in the fall, find out about a secret, unsolved family-related case that their parents have hidden from them for the past 15 years that has the potential to change their lives forever as a girl that disappeared from their lives comes back...
Splash Page: How am I supposed to explain all this? I guess I should start at the beginning –at least as far into the beginning that I know- and when I get to the end, I'll... stop. Beth suddenly giggled quietly at the unintentional reference to Alice in Wonderland, one of her favorite movies.
"Beth was about to explain what we could do to help her, right Beth?" Frank's voice suddenly brought Beth back to reality from her trip down the rabbit hole.
"Oh well, um, I'm sure that you probably have something better to do then listen to my ridiculous accusations!" Beth said before she could stop herself.
She did believe strongly in her opinions, but she was afraid that these guys, no matter how nice they may seem, would laugh at her saying that she was crazy. Or even worse, patronize her saying that she 'needn't worry her pretty little head about things like that', and she really couldn't take that without someone ending up with a black eye. She always did have a problem with controlling her temper.
Special Notes: The story takes place in May. It's not particularly grotesque, but there are some intense and emotional moments. It's the starting book to a series so it's a little sketchy, got pretty short chapters, and it is not a real cliffhanger, but I promise those kinds of stories will come later! I recommend that after you read this story, that you read my next installment: A New Beginning, and look for more stories, which will come afterward.
