Hi again! Sorry that the first chapter was so short, this chapter will be three times longer I promise!! Bess and George find out that Nancy is missing and run to get help and they meet some familiar faces who help them on their quest to save Nancy.
Chapter 2
Where's Nancy?
Nancy froze. Who was there? Did they cause the commotion just to entice Nancy's attention? She pivoted slowly around and was face-to-face with a man cloaked in black. Before she had time to scream, Nancy was thrust to the ground, bound and gagged. She struggled to free herself, but the enormous hands clutching her held her tight. She was effortless swung over her captor's back and out the back door, where a slim black car was waiting with the trunk opened, almost as if it was proud to hold such a prisoner as Nancy Drew. Nancy was thrown into the trunk of the car with ease as the elusive man laughed and slammed the trunk closed. What would Nancy do? How would her father, Hannah, and Bess and George know where she is? Questions buzzed around in the young girl's mind as the car started to roll without a sound. Nancy stared wide-eyed as the car left the building. Through the bullet holes in the car, she could see her father and Hannah already outside of her car, waiting.
"What do you think is taking Nancy so long?" Bess questioned.
"I dunno." George replied. "I think that maybe we should go get her now, though."
"That might be a good idea." Bess agreed as they walked into the auditorium.
"Nancy!" Bess called.
"Nancy are you here?" George asked the empty room.
When no reply came the girls decided to walk backstage.
"She's probably just so caught up in the mystery that she didn't hear us." George tried.
"Yeah, I guess you're right." Bess said.
Bess and George opened the curtain to find-no one. No one was there; it didn't even look like the stage had been used at all.
"Where's Nancy!?" Bess squealed.
"I-I-I" George stuttered. "I don't know! Where could she have gone!?"
"Let's go find Carson and Hannah!" Bess declared.
The girls raced out of the auditorium in a panic.
"Carson! CARSON! CARSON!" They both screamed at once.
"Girls! What's wrong? Why isn't Nancy back with you!?" the lawyer implied.
"We-we," Bess was out of breath trying to make sense of her sentences.
"We- we went into the auditorium to find Nancy, we called her name and checked everywhere, but she was…she was gone!" George burst out.
"Oh dear! Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear! Whatever will we do!?" Hannah exclaimed.
"It is 10:30 at night, we'll never be able to find her if it's dark outside, I say we should all go home and get some rest so we can have an early start in the morning." Carson comforted.
"Okay, but as long as we can start really early in the morning, I want to find Nancy!" Bess cried.
"We will, Bess. We will." Carson stated.
The four worried souls headed to the Drew's house, only to discuss the matter further.
"Who do you think took her?" Hannah fretfully asked.
"I don't know, she hasn't had a major case in about two weeks, so I don't know who would want avenge her, it just worries me is all." Carson remarked.
"Tomorrow morning, Bess and I will go any areas that are around the auditorium and try and find her." George explained.
"Great. I'll call up the police station right now and tell them what's happened." Carson answered.
"But right now, we all need to get some sleep." Hannah stated.
At 7:30 in the morning, Bess and George headed out and visited every building near the auditorium. After almost losing hope, they remembered a small café about a 3/4 of a mile away from the auditorium. When they arrived, they went up to the counter and asked the cashier is she had seen anything suspicious going on. When she replied no, the girls wistfully sat down.
"We've checked everywhere." Bess moaned. "I don't know where else to look."
"I'm stumped too." George agreed.
Whilst conversing over what to do next, the girls were interrupted by welcoming hellos from two familiar friends, Joe and Frank Hardy.
"Well if it isn't Bess Marvin and George Fayne!" Frank greeted the girls.
"Hey Frank." George monotonously said.
"Why so down?" Frank asked the woeful girl.
"It's kind of too hard to explain right now." George stated.
"We've got time." Joe answered for both of them.
"Well..." George started, but was cut off by Bess, who shouted loud enough for everyone in the café to hear.
"Nancy's been kidnapped!"
"What? Nancy? Nancy Drew!? How did this happen?" Joe fumed.
"We don't know!" George cried.
"Well, we're going to help you find her if it's the last thing we do!" The boys hollered simultaneously.
"Really?" George cried, her spirits being lifted a bit.
"Thank you! Thank you!" Bess cheered.
"C'mon, let's go solve this case!" Frank said.
