Well…here is chapter four of "Missing Since Monday"

Chapter 4- Tuesday, June 27th

Nancy quickly kneeled down towards Ned. Instantly, she checked for a pulse. She sighed with relief when she found one. She placed his head on her legs and looked at him. She needed answers, so she started to lightly shake him.

"Ned...Ned...Ned. Can you hear me?"

"N-Nancy?"

"Yes, it's me. What are you doing here?"

"I don't know. I was out for my morning jog and all of a sudden I was thrown into this van. I was tied up and blindfolded. Then when they untied me and took the blindfold off of me, I was here and that guy came in. He was telling me that I shouldn't have gotten involved and because I did I was going to pay for it. But then I asked what I got involved in. And he said you. I told him that we have been broken up for the last 3 months, but he thought I was lying and then he got these thugs to beat me up. Then you came in."

Nancy was in shock. She started to think to herself, 'What did I do that they got Ned involved too? It was because of me he's in here, and I don't even know the reason. I have to find out what he wants, but first, I need to get Ned out of danger.'

Nancy then stood up and helped Ned up too. When Ned tired to walk, he winced in pain. Nancy then insisted that he lean on her to help him walk. After that, she took the key out of her pocket and unlocked the door. She looked both ways before stepping out into the hall. She didn't know which way to go but decided to go left because going right would lead her to her captor and she couldn't go up against him with Ned in the condition he is in. They walked for about 3 minutes until she got in sight of the door. She quickly got to the door and went to unlock it but she noticed that there was an alarm. She knew that if she unlocked the door, the alarm would go off and they would never get away. She looked around at her surroundings and came up with a plan.

"Ned, listen to me. I need to get you out of here, but if I unlock this door the alarm will go off and we go right back to where we started from. So I am going to put you in the closet and I am going to unlock this door and run. People are going to come our chasing me. When they all come out run in the opposite direction that I ran, so you can escape."

Ned then looked at her with worried eyes, "But Nance, what about you? You need to get out of here more than I do."

"No, I don't. They just wanted me; they shouldn't have dragged you into this too. You need to get out of here and tell my father where they took you and to get the police. But you need to do this quickly because it won't be long until they notice you are gone as well."

"No, Nancy, I won't do it. I won't leave you in harm's way. Just because we aren't going out anymore doesn't mean that I don't still care about you. I've always cared about you, Nancy. The real reason why I broke up with you is because on every one of your cases, this happened. You got taken or threatened. I didn't want something to happen to you and just sit there and watch it happen. So I got out of the relationship. I know you love what you do and you are very good at it, Nancy, but the thought of you getting hurt killed me and now that I am here, I am not going to leave you here."

Nancy was about to reply when she heard people coming. She then quickly turned to Ned, "I'm sorry, Ned, but I have no choice." She then pushed him into the closet and closed the door. She then quickly turned the key and ran out of the building. The alarm went crazy and about 20 men came out and chased after Nancy.

After about 2 minutes without anyone else running out, Ned got out of the closet and limped towards the door. He looked around and heard a bunch of yelling coming from the right of him. So he turned left and started walking. After about 5 minutes, he was about a half a mile away when he heard Nancy scream. He hid behind a tree and looked back at the abandon warehouse. He saw Nancy being dragged back in. He saw her kicked one of the people who held her. After that someone punched her right in the face which knocked her out. Ned was fuming with anger. 'I will come back for you, Nancy, and those people who are doing that to you will be caught', Ned thought to himself before he turned back around and limped his way to freedom.

Frank and Joe just returned to the Drew household which nothing gained. It seemed as if they gotten away with the perfect crime. But, being stubborn, they wouldn't give up. Frank went into the kitchen to check up on Carson while Joe ran upstairs to his room. He was walking down the hall when he saw Nancy's door wide open. 'I thought that I saw Frank close this door', Joe thought to himself as went to close the door but then he suddenly stopped. He saw a manila envelope on Nancy's bed. He went into the room, grabbed the envelope, and ran downstairs. When he got there, Frank and Carson were just staring at him curiously until he raised his hand and reveal the manila envelope. Frank's and Carson's eyes widened at the sight. Frank was the first one to speak.

"Where did you find that?"

"It was on Nancy's bed."

Frank looked at him curiously, "Did you open it yet?"

"No, I wanted to show you guys as well."

Carson finally spoke up, "That is very kind of you, Joe. Now come on, open it."

With that said, Joe carefully opened the envelope. Inside it was a picture and a letter. Joe read the letter out loud.

"Dear Carson Drew and Hardy brothers,

I am going to help you find Nancy Drew. I am sorry that I must keep my identity hidden but it is for my own safety. To find out more about her captor, you will have to look very hard at the picture I gave you. Do not look for him because he is not in the picture, but there is something noticeable that you can figure out to find out more on him. To find it, you will need something that every detective should have. After you do that, look for him in Nancy's cases. I will leave you here and I will be in touch with you to help you along the way.

Signed

U.N Owen

P.S- Get everyone that was involved in that place to safety or they will not be so lucky."

After Joe finished reading it, it looked at the picture. It was a picture of Nancy being taken. It showed Nancy being placed into the trunk of this car.

After everyone looked at the picture, they were puzzled. Joe then tossed it onto the table in defeat. "Well, I don't see how this helps us."

Frank then picked up the picture and looked at it. Then his eyes widened. "Wait a minute." He then ran to get the oldest and most used item in being a detective, the magnifying glass. He put it up to the picture and looked at the car. You can see the license plate!

"Joe, write this down - JS24AS. I don't see any bummer stickers so it's not a rental."

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's find this car."

With that, Frank and Joe ran upstairs to use the computer while Carson sat there in relief. 'They are going to find her. I just know it.' He thought to himself before going into his den.

-------------------------------------------------

Ned had been walking for about 10 hours. He was extremely tired but kept on walking anyway. He was just about to sit down to rest when he heard something in front of him. He heard cars! He smiled and started to run faster. He didn't care that his foot was killing him because of him running. All that mattered to him was getting help.

He then saw the street. He ran and ran and was getting closer to the street. 'I'm gonna make it! I'm gonna tell the police about this place and then save Nancy. Nothing could possible go wrong now', Ned said to himself before he ran onto the street. But as soon as he got there, he heard a loud noise. When he turned to see what it was, he was too late. Ned was hit by a truck going 50 mph!
