The boys just stopped when they noticed that their friend had tensed up even more than before.
Joe was carefully shifting around being careful mot to make any noise. The silence that was all around them was deafening. In fact, it was a little too quiet. Frank looked at her as she started signaling them what to do. They had worked out these signals when they worked on cases all the time together.
Joe was the first to be attacked but wasn't taken by surprise when they came toward him. There was a frenzy of kicks going all around them and they were having trouble fending them off. There were too many men coming toward them. Just as suddenly as they came on the attacks stopped. "What's going on?" Frank asked as he helped his brother up. "I don't know Frank. Where's Nancy?" Joe looked around to find no sign of the young woman that had come with them. Frank looked around as well finding a white piece of paper. "Hello, Hardy, I've been watching you. You'd better stay away from my fiancé. You'll soon regret the day that you ever laid eyes on her. N.N. Just what is he up to? Where does he think kidnapping Nan is going to get him? Then another even more dangerous thought accured to him. "Joe, let's find Nan." He suggested trying to hide the worry in his voice as they began searching with their pen lights. "Frank, I've found something." Joe called to him. Frank looked where Joe was looking. "Ned wouldn't be that stupid would he?" He dropped down on his knees to look at the next piece of paper. "The Moonstruck Hotel? Where is that?" Frank wondered aloud to himself. "I don't know. Doesn't Nancy's car have computer access?" Joe asked not really liking the name of the place. In one sense it was a romantic name but in another it had a sleazy kind of ring to it. Frank was already headed in that direction. Joe and Frank were browsing through Nancy's computer which they really suspected was more technical than most of the cars on the police force. That was probably a thank you to Mr. Fairchild had given her because it was a lot like theirs that they used. "Found it!" Frank was triumphant in finding the map that she kept of the city. They typed in the name of the place that they needed and found that the hotel was in a bad part of town. "Just as I thought." Joe muttered under his breath. Frank hot wired the car while Joe called into the station for backup and to give a report on what was going on. He didn't know how often Nan was supposed to check into her 'superior' but he sure found out awful fast when he had to pull the phone away from his ear. Frank grabbed the phone while he concentrated on driving the car. "Sir we're on our way over to see to this right now. Will you send the backup that Joe requested?" Frank was irritated but understood the man's reaction. "They're already on their way. Don't you two allow anything to happen to her." There was a threat in his voice that sounded like there was more to this than boss and employee. "We're here. Let's be very careful." Frank looked around and found a woman that was dressed a little too low in station in the middle of the night. "My name is Frank Dixon and I need your assistance with something." The woman looked at him and just put on the most seductive smile he had ever seen from anyone at all. "Sure, Honey, there's a hotel right behind us that would be glad to allow us entrance." Frank was disgusted as he guided her into the hotel. Joe was canvassing the perimeters of the building looking for extra outs and exits to the place. "I'd like a room please." He placed a 50 on the counter. "Yes sir." As he walked down the halls he could hear all the sounds that were coming from behind the doors. The walls needless to say were paper thin and anything could be heard through them. His eyes riveted to a spot on the floor only to see a familiar looking watch. She's in that room. The man stopped at the next door and opened it. Something caught his attention as it moved by the door. "No! Frank yelled making a jump for the man. He heard evil laughter in the background as he rolled off the man that he had just saved. "Ned?" Frank questioned as he saw a familiar man. He had changed. Instead of being kind and happy there was a look of contempt in his eyes as he held a gun to the woman's head that Frank had picked up off the streets. "Will you look at this?" Ned paused, "it seems that you planned on cheating on your girlfriend." Frank tried to make a dash for him and the door was opened. Right before his eyes was an unconscious Nancy with torn clothes tied to a chair and a bomb tied around her where the ropes were. There was thirty seconds left before it went off.
What's going to happen next? Hmmmmmmmmm... I guess you'll have to read the next chapter to find out. Sorry it's so short but this is definitely a good cliffhanger. You know the drill. You must read and give an honest review of what you think.
