"Ned you had to get her started after you did what?!" Joe whispered. There
had been enough yelling for one day and he wasn't about to add on to that.
"I kissed her last night." Ned again rubbed the back of his neck nervously.
Frank sent daggers too Ned at the confession. "You had to get her started."
"You looked like you were enjoying yourself out there Hardy so what are you complaining about." Ned glared at him.
"Okay that's enough." Joe cut in, "Ned if you ever pull anything like that again Nancy's threat isn't the only thing that you're going to have to worry about."
"If you hurt her again then you will wish you hadn't." Frank finished for him.
"Okay I get the point." Ned gulped just before the girls entered to announce that breakfast was ready.
- - - - Xinh- I know that is what everyone says. You know I just made the name up. I have next to no background in chemistry so......... Well I'm glad you were able to read the story again and I hope you enjoy the next chapter!
Vivian1- I'm glad somebody agrees with me on that aspect. I don't think it belongs in stories. I think that those scenes belong in the privacy of the bedroom where no one can see. I'm glad you like it.
Sunflower18- Thanks for reading the story I hope you like the rest of it.
Katie- You're right that is an interesting way of calming her but you have to consider the fact (I know you're not complaining though) that he can't fight her right now because he has been severely injured and just recovering. He couldn't fight her for long.
Evil6- I don't know what their middle names actually are. They were never mentioned in the books. I just made them up at the spur of the moment.
I personally like the fact that Ned is constantly in the background seething at himself because he was the jerk that let her go in the first place. He should have thought about what Nancy did for a living before he pushed her away. I think I will play with that some more. Well I think it is time to get on with the story.
Chapter 11
We're back to square one." Nancy muttered running her hands through her strawberry blond hair.
"We'll get this case taken care of. Just like all of the other cases that we have solved. We have to be getting close to something." Frank reassured her.
The doorbell rang just then. "I'll get it!" Ned yelled from the kitchen. There was silence for a moment before Nancy heard, "Nancy it's for you."
Nancy sighed before going to the door. "Yes, can I help you?"
"I have flower delivery for Miss Drew." The man at the door stated.
"This is she." Nancy answered.
"Sign here please." The man stated.
"Thank you." She took the flowers and watched him leave.
Nancy took out the card that was in the cards. "Love you always." The note read. It wasn't signed.
"Oh great! Which one is it that is sending me flowers?" Nancy muttered before she went back to the living room.
"Who are those from?"
"I don't know." She sat down.
"Well what do we have here?" Fenton Hardy came into the room.
"Flowers." Is all Frank answered her father before the bell rang again.
"Nancy door!" Bess called out.
"Can you get it Bess? I'm kind of buried under papers for the moment." Nancy requested.
Bess came in the room with another bouquet of flowers. The card on this one said, "I'm sorry Nan."
"Now I know who sent these. Ned Nickerson get our butt down here!"
Ned ran down the stairs when he heard that. "Yes Nancy?"
"Tell me what these are?" Nancy still held the flowers.
"They look like flowers." He answered. He was trying his best not to smile.
"We dated for four years and you can't seem to remember that I don't like receiving a bouquet of flowers that cost about 100.00 dollars. I don't want to see either of you sending me any more flowers like this. They cost too much!" She warned before leaving for Frank's office upstairs.
Joe walked in on the last of the conversation with the two guys. His dad could be seen in the corner trying not to start laughing at the two guys.
Frank glared at Ned. "What did you put in that card?"
Ned looked down at the floor. "I'm sorry Nan."
"Ned could you be less obvious!" Joe kept his voice down.
Fenton Hardy stepped out of the shadows at that time. "Ned can I have a word with you in my office please." He left the room leading the way to the office.
Frank followed Nancy to where he knew she would be and he was right. She was at the desk typing up the codes into the computer. "What are you doing Nan?"
"Well I'm going to see what I can come up with on the tapes again." Nancy answered. "Maybe I missed something the first time around."
"Nancy," he stopped when he sat on the desk in front of the chair that she was seated in, "considering that I've already gone through all these tapes and that I know that it would take forever to go through them all again, I wouldn't do that."
"I know I couldn't find anything out of the ordinary." She didn't know what to think anymore. Everything was so confusing right now. Having two men vying for your constant attention constantly and working on a case was rather trying, especially one that two of the detectives had been shot on and hospitalized.
"I have an idea. Why don't we fix lunch and then we can go check out the roof of CAC one more time." Frank encouraged her.
"Frank we've checked out the roof three times over. The museum videos didn't catch anything going on. The only reason the thieves were caught is because I saw the shadows when I was down there." Nancy stated. "Let's just watch the last tape once again. Maybe I can find something. I mean we can find something." She corrected finishing up the entrance codes. The wall opened to reveal the tapes that were hidden.
Later that afternoon after everyone had finished the little bit of investigating that they could do they were all sitting toe the table to eat. They had exchanged information only to find that not one of them had come up with anything. Chet hadn't received another letter or a phone call for that matter.
To Nancy this whole case seemed really strange. There wasn't one thing that made sense to her. She didn't want that chemical to get out. It was far too dangerous. She had kept trying to think of where you could keep it seeing that it had to remain on ice basically.
"Frank?" She said loud enough to get this attention. Frank didn't answer her. He seemed to be a million miles away. "Frank?"
"Yes Nancy." He said. He kept his voice down so as not to draw attention to the conversation.
"I was thinking about the case. Chet said that the stuff had to be kept on ice if I remember correctly right?" She asked.
"Yeah he did. What's your idea Nancy?"
"Well Bayport brings in a lot of seafood right? What if it is being kept in a place like that or it is being kept with some of the seafood." She suggested not realizing that she had gotten the groups attention.
"Nancy are you saying...." Joe started.
"That we've been going about this all wrong? Yes I am." She answered.
She didn't finish her line of thinking though before the doorbell rang once again. She went to the door only to find the flower guy standing there. "Miss Drew you seem to be very popular today. Would you sign here please?" The man said before he handed her the flowers.
"Ned and Frank I thought I told not to get me anymore flowers!" she scolded them when she entered the room.
We didn't get you anything." They said at the same time.
"Then who got me these?" Nancy asked aloud. She put the flowers on the table before she pulled out the card.
Nancy looked where she had pulled out the card. "Uh guys I think we had better run!" She exclaimed before a blast went off.
- - - - I hope you guys like this chapter. Sorry I would have had it out a couple of days ago but I had a bad case of writer's block! Well you know the routine. You have to give me a good and honest review!
