What with Leslie handling the fantasy, Mr. Rourke found himself being her assistant. She sat down in the chair behind his desk with Allison Harrison standing in front of her.
"Is it true what you can do?" Allison asked
"About you being Nancy Drew to solve Nancy's disappearance?" Leslie asked. "Of course. But if you don't want to...?"
Allison smiled. "But I do! You see ever since Authoress Carolyn Keene which base the truth life exploits of Nancy for her books told me that Nancy disappeared, I figured the only way to solve it is to become Nancy herself."
"Then your Fantasy happens when you step out the front door."
Allison did as she was told and in front of the house was the car Nancy drove.
She gushed "Nancy's roadsters."
"You will find its a little bigger then you are. Be careful." Leslie gave a stern warning.
"Oh, I will. And thank you." She got in the car and Leslie watch her drive towards the pond restaurant
Once there she took a seat and a waitress handed her a menu. Two tables over Nancy Drew's father, Carson Drew, and Nancy's boyfriend, Ned Nickerson, were having a conversation. Allison got up and sat at the table next to there's

"They did and nothing turn up. I hate to say this, but I brought her clothes that she was going to wear on a ski trip to keep my sanity."
Without excusing herself Allison departed and drove to Carson Drew's Bungalow and expertly pick the lock on the door. Then went through Nancy's belongings.
"This is strange," she said to herself. "All her clothes are for summer. None for a ski trip."
A small leather-bound diary fell from a shirt pocket. She open it and it said:
I finally discovered there was more to the Rimson embezzlement case. It leads directly to the brother-
On the corner of a page was a symbol. She tore the page out and stuff it into her pants pocket. As she put everything back the way it was Allison kept an eye out hoping Nancy's father didn't surprise her. Now she heard the faint jingling of keys.
The maintenance guy open the door and as he began to clean the bathroom Allison slipped out. Halfway to the roadster A boulder rolled down a hill and narrowly missed her. Just as the boulder had stop rolling Leslie appeared
"I told you to be careful," She looked at the boulder, then checked Allison out.
"I'm sorry. But I discovered something more important then a new clue."
"And what's that?"
"I step on someone's toes."
