"Sir, it's Nightcrawler. Your detectives are in danger." Nightcrawler
hung up the phone.
Thank you for all the reviews everyone. I don't know what exactly is going to happen in this chapter but I guess we'll see together.
Disclaimer: I don't own them. I just think that it's fun to write them. Stratmeyer Syndicate and Simon and Schuster own the Hardy Brothers and Nancy Drew. We all know that though.
Chapter 13
"I'm glad that Joe got off safe." Nancy watched as the clouds went by them when she turned to the left. "Frank you've sure been quite silent, is something wrong?"
"No just can't shake the feeling that something is going to be really wrong." He stated.
"Hey in this business that we're in anything could go wrong." Nancy reminded him. Just as she said this the plane did a sharp dip and turn.
"Nancy!" Frank exclaimed while he gritted his teeth.
Nancy was laughing when she straightened out the plane.
"What's so funny?" He scowled at her and let go of his grip on the control board.
"You see what I mean? Anything could happen on our cases." Nancy's laughter was dying down to chuckles.
"Nan, where did you learn to fly like that? I thought you had told me that you hadn't logged that much in the way of flight time."
"I haven't. My flight instructor liked to pull different stunts on us just to see how well we could think in a crisis. He wanted us to be able to think in the air." Nancy answered.
"Your instructor was interesting. Mine was always afraid to let me loose because of the fact that I could pull off some heart stopping stunt."
"What a shame." She commented. "We're almost to the Chicago airport."
She reached the communicator in the plane to request permission to land.
When granted Frank started on his co-pilot duties. Neither of them was talking just concentrating. They didn't want any unexpected missiles coming toward them again. After a safe landing they breathed a sigh of relief.
"Come on. Let's check on Bess before she thinks that we didn't make it in time for her wedding. I did promise to get you here on time." Frank guided her to where the car was.
"Well we got here in time." She stated the obvious. "I just don't how we'll solve this case and do her wedding."
-Joe-
"Joe Hardy." A man more stated than asked.
"Depends on who's asking." Joe responded.
"How's the weather?" The man picked up his bags.
"The weather has been great." Joe answered back.
"Well I'm your chauffer." The man was all business and looked as if he didn't know what the meaning of fun was.
Joe was taken to a limo waiting for them. "There's a soda in the back. Help yourself."
-F/N-
Nancy arrived to her apartment building ready to see her friend and not just talk to her. "I can't wait to see Bess. I know that we're here ion a case but I've also got to attend her wedding. I promised her I would Frank."
"Nancy you're going to be able to keep your promise to her." He reassured her as she dug through her purse hunting for her keys. "Nan if she's in the apartment do you really need to have your keys." He chuckled.
She stopped to look at him. "Ummm.. No I guess not." She could feel her cheeks turning red. It was broad daylight and she was really trying to hide from the young man's prying eyes but she knew that was a useless attempt.
"Hey, it's okay Nan." Frank tipped her chin toward him and kissed her. The sharp intake of her breath told him that she hadn't been expecting this. "Come on. Let's go see Bess." He echoed her words from earlier.
She led the way to the apartment. She could hear the little pitter patter of feet beyond the door which also caused her to light up. "Ooooohhhhhhh she's here!"
Frank was confused until she opened the door to see an adorable little toddler, well not quite a toddler yet, trying to walk but not succeeding very well because she kept leaning forward to catch herself. The little girl stopped when she heard the door open. She looked at Frank wearily and then took the quickest way to get to Nancy that she knew. She crawled.
Nancy swept the little girl up in one motion. "Hi sweetie! How are you doing!" She went into a string of baby talk that Frank could not understand.
George came out of the kitchen to see who was talking to her baby even though she already knew. "Hi Frank. I hope you will be here for Bess's wedding she is a nervous wreck."
"Yeah, the case led us back over here. Joe is in New York tying up the other end of the case. I hope nothing happens to him there."
George dismissed it. "Joe's been to New York plenty of times before. I think he knows New York almost as well as he knows Bayport and Chicago."
"That's not what I'm worried about." He answered.
"I know. I'm just trying to make you feel better." George responded.
"It's not working." Frank smiled.
"What time is the wedding?" Frank asked his face and mind going back to business.
"The wedding will begin at 3 at today." George answered.
She looked at Nancy. Her face had gone serious again as well. "It's 10 o'clock. We can get some investigating done anyway."
She handed the baby to George. "We'll be back in time." He informed her.
"Good luck." George watched them go.
"I hope that they will be okay." She whispered to her little girl.
-F/N-
"Okay where do we start?" Nancy asked.
"Let's look at that warehouse." Frank suggested.
"That sounds good. We will have to go by my office and get the information." Nancy informed him.
"Right." He said.
-At the office-
Nancy was smirking after she parked her car. "This is my favorite part of the day."
Frank laughed. "Well let's see your 'boss'." He emphasized the word.
Nancy led the way to his office. She looked in on her boss. "Hey," she gave a cheerful greeting.
"Hello, Detective Drew. Are you still working on a case?" He noticed Frank behind her and scowled at her. "Why is he here?"
"He's my partner." Nancy answered tartly.
"Hurry up. I want you back here working for me?"
Nancy took this opportunity to tease her boss. "That means your workload must be awful heavy. I didn't know my boss couldn't handle working by himself."
She disappeared to her office. "Okay, let me see." She mumbled staring in dismay at the mess on her desk. "I thought that it was George that I sent up here to get those files."
"She probably had her baby with her." Frank comforted.
"Yeah." She agreed.
"Nan I think that you're attracting attention." He looked out of her office.
Nancy stepped out of her office. "You guys have a problem." She asked. She had gone cold.
"Do you usually not wear shorts to the office?" He asked. Her shorts were mid thigh but she was still getting the attention of all the officers in the building.
The office was buzzing as if he hadn't seen everyone stop looking at her. "Wow. You must keep them on their toes."
"That's the only way to do it around here. I'm the only woman detective here and the only one that has been here for thirty years." She responded.
"That would explain a lot of things." Frank commented as they stopped back in her boss's office to say that they were leaving.
"Detective Drew be careful out there. I don't know what you're working on but I know that it is dangerous." The man actually seemed to care.
"That was odd." Frank observed/
"It comes out once in a blue moon showing that he is human." Nancy stated.
"Okay, we have to go to that warehouse first. Maybe they left some clues behind." Frank was all business.
"Joe left an address for us to look right?"
"Yeah, he did." Frank paused. He didn't understand how Ned's gang could have gotten the government codes to betray everything that he stood or should have stood for.
-Nightcrawler-
"How did I get pulled into this?" he had to think back to when he was a few years younger and well in love.
-Flashback-
"We need someone that they wouldn't' suspect to be able to get in and do things. Someone that looks like an average guy that won't gather attention from anyone around." The man in gray approached him earlier and they were now eating at a fine restaurant having a nice little meeting.
"Why do you want me?" He asked with trepidation.
"You have experience in this field and it's sad to say that you have more experience than a lot of the operatives that I have." The man stated the obvious.
"You mean that I am better suited?" he asked.
"No not better, just more experienced." He restated.
"Would you really think that I would be able to do this job?"
"This is what you are doing already without pay. The only difference that you would be paid to do this kind of work now."
-End flashback-
"The only difference is that I would be paid. Yeah right." He muttered darkly. He had to get ready to carry this plan through. - - -
Okay guys that is the last if this chapter. I think that there will only be two or three more chapters left in this story. You know the drill. You have to give me a good and honest review. Even if it means that you say something that you think I might not like! Arigato.
Thank you for all the reviews everyone. I don't know what exactly is going to happen in this chapter but I guess we'll see together.
