"Let me go! No! Let me go!" Nancy screams as thrashes in her bedroom. The Hardys come running in along with Carson because Carson refused to let them get a hotel and instead put them up for the night in two of the guest rooms. Carson runs over to her bed and starts shaking her trying to get her to wake up. He steps back heartbroken at Nancy's cries for help. Frank steps up to try and wake her and as he shakes her he starts whispering. "Nance. Nancy, it's okay your okay. It's alright." Nancy finally wakes and grabs on to Frank and starts sobbing on his bare chest for he did not have time to get a shirt on when he was woken. Nancy finally seems to realize he is shirtless and she backs up her cheeks a flaming red. Frank looks down at her as she pulls back his face tinted pink as well, and he notes that everyone else had left the room. He focuses back on Nancy as she finishes wiping the tears from her eyes. As she looks back up at him her eyes the clearest blue that is glistening with tears she has yet to shed and what Frank could only describe as sheer terror. "I am sorry Frank. I did not mean to wake you up. I..." "Don't worry about it at all Nancy I couldn't sleep anyways. Do you want to talk about your dream?" "I was back in that penthouse, and I was watching the news and realized that I was no longer being reported about which I knew meant everyone forgot about me. I hadn't seen my dad on the news channel in so long that I feared he thought I was dead. I got up when I realized that the door to the penthouse closed leaving me completely alone. I got up to go to the door I put my ear on it to listen for any noise and hearing none I tried to open the door, but it wouldn't open. I started heading towards the elevator which would be my last hope and before I even pushed the button I heard it ping, so I ran into the kitchen because someone was exiting the elevator. I grabbed a knife determined to finally leave I originally had a plan but in the heat of the moment I wasn't thinking and I lost my one chance to escape. When I heard the person looking around for me I hid behind the island hoping to take them by surprise. I heard the kitchen door open and as I crouched behind the island I heard his footsteps get closer and as I sprang out from behind the island he wasn't surprised like he was waiting for me to try and escape. He grabbed my arm with the knife poised towards his chest and he swung it down onto the counter and I dropped the knife. That night he... he... he..." Nancy trails off as she starts full-blown sobbing. Frank goes over to Nancy and scoops her into a big bear hug holding on tightly but making sure he isn't hurting her. He whispers sweet nothings in her ear as he soothes her to where she is just hiccuping. He stands up and Nancy looks up at him hurt and confused. "You don't want me anymore do you?!" She screams at him, "Get out! Get out of here! I should have known no one would want a broken person!" Frank looks at her horrified of her accusations but does as she says and leaves the room. Frank walks into Carson's bedroom where Carson is sitting on his bed his head in his hands. "Sir" Frank starts, "You may want to go talk to Nancy she was hurt way worse than any of us ever expected." Carson looks up at Frank horror in his eyes. "You don't mean..." He starts. The look in Frank's eyes was all Carson needed to rush out of his bedroom and he could hear Nancy's door open and shut. Tired Frank leaves the room and heads downstairs to the guest bedroom he is sharing with Joe. As Frank enters the room Joe looks up from the book he is reading on the bed. Wait, nevermind the comic book he is "reading". Frank has never thought a comic book could be considered as a book and let alone you read it. Joe sets the book down on the nightstand and stands up, and wordlessly he pulls Frank into an embrace. From their room, they could both hear Nancy's and her father's cries of despair. They both try and block it out as they finish their hug and sit back down on the queen size bed they would share during their stay with the Drews. Nancy and her dad are still hugging each other with dried tears. Nancy looks up at her dad who fell asleep and gives him one last big hug, then helping him lie down on her bed, covers him, and leaves the room. Nancy crawls into her dad's bed down the hall and turns out the light, and closes her eyes hoping for a restful sleep. Morning comes and Nancy is thankful for her dreamless sleep but is confused when she realizes she is in her dad's room. She gets up and stretches before moving to her room. Upon reaching her room, Nancy showers puts on a blue turtleneck with jeans and then she pulls her hair into a ponytail after brushing it. The whole day slowly goes by as she waits for noon so she can go to Scoop and discuss the case. She has already done laundry for everyone which was not very pleasant since it is four guys. Helped Hannah clean and prep for dinner, watched TV, and read three-quarters of her Agatha Christie book. She is about to die when she looks at the clock and saw it was 11:50 so she got up put her shoes on and left.
