Disclaimer: I do not own Nancy Drew or any related characters or places. The only things I do own are copies of some of the books and the games.

A/N: Well let's see here... I had this one written, so I thought I'd just go ahead and post it without waiting very long. Lol. Sometimes I like posting multiple times a day.


Not even minutes later Nancy crept down the stairs, carefully avoiding the creaking spots. Stopping at the bottom she hid in the shadows so she could peer into the dark living room. Someone was seated on the couch. The only things she could hear were the buzz from the broken television and the sound of the rain pelting the roof. Curious about who would be up so late she cautiously moved closer.

She winced as one of the floorboards squeaked loudly, alerting the person to her presence. Their eyes met as the person looked over at her.

It was Scott.
