Nancy spend a night in hospital after being injured thwarting the raid on the Majors.

However, she is soon back in action. Along with Bess and George, she visits the Chinese art collector, but is trapped by Lei Wong. Nancy faints after being subjected to a sleeper hold and is kidnapped.

After causing Nancy to faint with pain caused by the sleeper hold, Lei Wong bent down and lifted Nancy's limp form over her shoulder and then disappeared with the teen sleuth into a side room. Nancy was her prisoner at last!

A little later George and Bess came looking for Nancy

'She must be here some where' said Bess worrying.

'I am sorry', said Xu 'she should stick to the permitted roots'.

George gazed at the display in front of her, 'Why isn't this with the rest of your display' she said.

'This is my, shall we say, my special display' said Xu.

'Never mind about that', said Bess 'what about Nancy'

'We will get no where here' said George 'however, we will inform Chief McGinnis and he will bring his men and search the building from top to bottom until he finds Nancy'

Xu frowned as the girls left, he went straight to the room where Lei Wong was holding Nancy prisoner.

Wong was waiting for him, Nancy was slumped in a chair, still unconscious.

'We need to move things along, those pesky kids are going to report Drew's disappearance to the police, they will be here in a few hours'.

'Miss Drew will be out for a while yet' said Wong 'do you want me to prepare the room for her hypnosis session'! Xu nodded his head.

A couple of hours later, Nancy began to stir back to consciousness.

'Welcome back, Miss Drew' said Tony Xu.

Nancy's neck and head ached from the after effects of the sleeper hold that had made her faint. 'We believe you know who has the other vase' said Xu 'would you like to tell us'.

'I don't even know why you would think that' said Nancy weakly.

'You were overheard talking to the antique dealer' said Xu 'you will talk, Miss Drew'.

Then Lei Wong returned to the room. 'Ah, I see Miss Drew is conscious at last, please come this way' With that, Wong grabbed Nancy's arm and dragged her into a small, darkened room. Nancy looked around, apart from dimmed lights, all that seemed to be in the room was a large white circular object with black circular lines painted on.

She was forced to sit down, then Wong took a small bottle from her pocket and passed it under Nancy's nose. Sleeping fumes! 'I am being knocked-out again' thought Nancy.

However, as Nancy drifted towards unconsciousness, the bottle was removed.

A bright light shone in her eyes and the object in the room began to turn.

'You know who has the vase, don't you Nancy Drew' Wong's voice was almost soothing. 'No' replied Nancy. The wheel began to spin more quickly and the sleeping fumes were passed under Nancy's nose again. Nancy almost fainted, but then Wong's voice again, asking the same question.

In spite of herself, Nancy's reply this time was yes.

'Is it Major Watson and can you take us to the room where it is' said Wong.

'I can' said Nancy. Wong nodded and the bright light faded and the object stopped spinning. Then Nancy fainted and sagged limply in the chair.

'She's fainted' said Xu. 'Let's get everything else ready, then I will revive Miss Drew' said Wong.

They left the room and as soon as the door clicked closed, Nancy's eyes opened!

Although she had been completely weakened by the process she had been through,

Nancy had only pretended to faint. Nor had she been hypnotised. One of the first things she had learnt was that if someone try's to hypnotise you, just think of someone you really care about and you won't go under. Nancy had concentrated so hard on her dad, Bess and George, it had prevented the hypnosis from working. She just needed a few moments. She slipped her hand into the pocket of her micro-skirt and pulled out her mobile and quickly sent a text to George. It read Tell Chief McGinnis to be at Major Watson's house with his men in a as soon as possible, he will be able to make some arrests.

George and Bess were already with Chief McGinnis when George received the text.

'It's from Nancy' she exclaimed 'we have to get to Major Watsons'

Chief McGinnis got some of his men together and George rang Carson Drew, he was worried sick about Nancy and would want to be there.

The door to the room opened and Lei Wong and Tony Xu came back in. Nancy was slumped in the chair, her eyes closed as if still in a faint.

'She's still out' said Xu 'you let her sniff too many sleeping fumes'!

'Pass me the bottle' said Lei Wong. She passed another bottle under Nancy's nose, but this time smelling salts.

Nancy's eyes opened and she sat up.

'Come along Miss Drew, we have a journey to make'

'Major Watsons, but I feel so sleepy, I think I am going to faint again' whispered Nancy, her eyes starting to close. Nancy was stalling for time as much as she could but Wong held the smelling salts under her nose and she was jerked into super awareness.

Nancy was led to a car and forced onto the back seat with two of Wong's goons and Wong and Xu got in front.

The car very soon arrived at Major Watson's house and everyone got out.

From behind a curtain, Bess watched.

'Nancy looks as though she's drugged' screamed Bess. 'Stop worrying' said George 'she is just feigning'.

The door opened and Nancy led them to the room which contained the vase.

Surprise! As soon as they entered, Tony Xu and the two goons were grabbed by Chief McGinnis's men. Wong realised what was happening and grabbed Nancy, intending to use her as a hostage. However, there was a surprise in store for her, too.

Far from her mind being controlled, Nancy this time had the element of surprise on her side. As Wong grabbed her, Nancy gave her a neat hip throw and George and Bess jumped on Wong, pinning her to the floor.

Soon, the gang was arrested and the matching vase presented to Major Watson, while Chief McGinnis confirmed Nancy was his best man, even though she was a 16 year old girl. Carson Drew was just happy to have his daughter back in one piece.

'When are you going to start behaving like a normal 16 year old' he said.

Nancy gave him her most innocent look and he kissed her gently on the head, he knew there was no point even discussing it.

Thanks to Nancy's quick thinking and her determination to do the right thing, another case had been resolved. Even though it had probably been her toughest case yet, Nancy was already looking forward to her next and it would soon come along!
