Joe gave her the required directions knowing for sure that they were being
followed. He kept hearing screeching wheels in the back as sped up and
slowed down almost like they wanted to run them off the road.

Dizzy Izzy- I'm really sorry. You have a point. I guess I forgot my health
classes. Let's just say that frank was shot just above the heart. That way
I can't go wrong.
Out of sight out of mind-I'll keep that in mind. I'm working on the punctuations. I've been writing since I was a little girl but sometimes I have to work at things. That's just one of them.
Mo-thanks for the support. It's much appreciated!
Damsel in Distress- I like your name. It's very original. I hope that you are feeling better!
Disclaimer: I don't own them! I believe that Stratmeyer Syndicate and Simon and Schuster do. They sure are fun to write!
Chapter 4
"Why can't we get a two way road when we need one?" Nancy muttered under her breath.
"Nan, they're right on us." Joe looked behind them.
"I know Joe. Is there a hill on the other side of this one?" She questioned.
"I don't know. I haven't been in this road for a long time."
"Hold on." Nancy ordered as she sped up the car to provide enough momentum to send the car flying through the air. (I don't know if that is actually possible so don't get mad at me if it isn't.) Nancy was holding her breath until they felt the car thud on solid ground.
Joe looked behind him. "They appear to be having trouble going up the second hill."
"I'm not taking chances Joe. Where to next?" Joe was sweating as he tried to think of some directions off of the road that they were on.
"Try going to the right." He directed. Nancy had just made the turn when the car stopped. Bess was in the front seat ready to panic. She had been on cases before with Nancy but they usually had better luck than this one.
"Do you have a gun with you Joe?" She looked out the window. "Bess get down." She ordered.
"Yeah." He answered.
"We're going to shoot out the tires." Nancy informed him.
They hid behind the doors of the car. The tires were shot and deflated in the oncoming car before it came to a stop.
Joe didn't bother to look behind him. He knew that there were two maniacs coming after the three of them. 'What has Chet gotten us into?' he thought to himself.
"Guys look over there." Joe glanced in the direction that she was pointing.
"We might be able to lose them or better yet follow them so we can see what is going on." Bess commented before Joe could say anything.
"My thoughts exactly." Joe agreed.
The trio disappeared into the trees. Bess hid behind a tree waiting for someone to come their way. Nancy was up in the tree ready to drop out on him and Joe was behind another tree. The two men that showed up a few minutes later were ambushed just as they entered the area that the three were in. Both of them were out of shape which made the trio's job easier.
Nancy dropped on one of them knocking him down to the ground. Joe tapped on the other man's shoulder. He didn't see Bess come up from behind him with a branch that could have been a club.
"Does anyone have a cell on them?" Bess groaned looking at her dirty clothes.
"Sorry Bess. My phone is in the car. I could have sworn that I filled up on gas." Nancy was thinking about what she did last night. "I can't believe that I've been here for a few hours and we have already been on a car chase and the police station." Nancy shook her head.
Joe had already made the call for backup. Joe began hefting one of the men to put him against the tree. "Bess help me with this one."
The cops arrived about five minutes later. "That was fast." Joe looked at the officers surprised.
"We were already following you guys. At the speed you were going there was going to be a wreck. Who are these two?" He looked pointedly at the knocked out men.
"We don't know. We want to do an interrogation on them as soon as we get them to the station." Nancy informed them.
"Ma'am you can't do that. Only a police officer is allowed in the interrogation room."
"She works on the Chicago P.D." Bess was irritated at the men. "Can you get these men in handcuffs? Ours are in the car."
"Who are you?" It was becoming very apparent to Nancy that the chief wasn't' the only one that thought women didn't belong in the police station.
"She's one of my partners and if you don't do what she asks then you will have to deal with me." She replied coldly to the man. "I don't think that these vines will hold them at bay for very long do you?" She made her point.
"No Officer."
"It's detective." She warned at the man as she walked by.
They arrived back to the police station a little while later. Nancy's car had been tampered with. When they pushed the car a little back they found that it was leaking gas. They had filled it up but they would have to get it fixed when they got to the destination.
Joe had called Chet because he was becoming very interested in this case. His brother being shot to the fact that Nancy's car had been given a leak was a bit much to believe on a simple chemistry case.
Chet reached the police station about thirty minutes after them. Nancy and Joe were still in interrogation room while Bess had to sit out in the waiting area. "Bess it's been awhile. What have you been up to?" He was always friendly towards all of them.
"I've been getting married. You?" She returned.
"Working. I've been teaching chem. at the high school. You know some of those kids are actually pretty smart." He laughed at the thought as he remembered his high school days with the Hardy's.
Bess cringed, "You know that Frank has been shot right?" She asked bluntly.
He stopped laughing when he heard that. "He's been shot while looking into my case." He sat down in shock.
"Chet what is going on? Nancy and I have yet to be told." Bess's voice was quiet. She had wanted to get his attention. She had definitely done that.
"Well I received a note the other day saying that one of my extra science experiments had been taken. I've been working on this one for about two years trying to get it to work. I've finally figured out the formulation of the chemicals and was getting ready to submit it to the CAC (chemistry alignment center)."
"What was the substance that you were supposed to break down?" Bess inquisitioned.
Chet shook his head. "Why am I telling you all of this? You're not a detective." He questioned himself.
"I do some detective work on the side that Nancy doesn't know about yet. You can't tell her. Will you answer my question?" She tried again.
"Xenophonic lyglceridis phelia." He answered. (I just made it up. I don't think that there is such thing but then again I am not a chem. major.)
"What does this stuff do?" Bess kept on. She had never heard of it but that didn't mean that it didn't exist.
"It ..."
Bess's phone interrupted him. "Just a minute. That is my husband."

Thank you guys for all of your support. You know the drill. Give me a good and honest report.
I have two questions before I go.
Anyone who could tell me about Chet would be greatly appreciated. I haven't' read half as much on the hardy Boys as I have Nancy Drew by a long shot. I am looking for someone who would be willing to help me edit my stories.
Out of sight out of mind-I'll keep that in mind. I'm working on the punctuations. I've been writing since I was a little girl but sometimes I have to work at things. That's just one of them.
