At first, Joe was too shocked to even answer. "What? Iola alive?
Impossible," he thought. Then, he realized that they were playing a trick
on him. "I appreciate you trying to cheer me up but all it really did was
hurt me more." Joe said, angrily.
Frank said "Joe, we're not kidding. We mean it."
You aren't?!?!?!??!? Joe said excitedly.
Nancy smiled. "No! We really mean it," she said
Joe was excited, then confused. "But how?"
Nancy: I saw her in a restaurant with another guy about her age. I thought you too had broken up.
Joe: I would never break up with her. I love her. Now, let's go find her.
Frank: Whoa, first, let's tell mom and dad where we're going
Joe (a bit sheepishly): Yeah, you're right. We also might want to tell them that Nancy's here.
Frank (embarrassed): Oh yeah. Mom, Dad, we have a visitor.
Fenton Hardy (coming down stairs): Who is it? Oh, Hi Nancy. It's a pleasure to see you again.
Nancy: A pleasure to see you too, Mr. Hardy.
Laura Hardy (coming down stairs): Hi, Nancy. Would you like anything to drink?
Nancy: No, thank you, Mrs. Hardy.
Laura: Alright, Nancy. Excuse me if I'm rude, but may I ask what brings you this way?
Nancy: Of course. Actually, I was coming here on vacation but this may turn out to be a case, after all.
Laura: Another case? (she laughed) My, you can't stop cases around here. Now, what is this...
Joe interrupted excitedly. "Iola might still be alive!' he said
Nancy: Well, we're going out. Just thought we would tell you. Nice seeing you.
Fenton and Laura: Nice seeing you, Nancy
Frank, Joe, and Nancy went out to Bravo! to see if they could find any clues.
When they walked up to Bravo! Iola wasn't there. They were walking back, when suddenly Frank cried out. "Look what I found!" It was a bow with the initials I.M. on them.
Joe: This is the ribbon Iola was wearing when the bomb went off. This proves she's alive!
Frank had to smile at Joe's happiness. He hadn't seen Joe this happy for a long time. All of a sudden, he remembered Iola's family. "Joe!" he said. "We forgot to tell Chet and Mr. and Mrs. Morton."
Joe: Oh yeah! Too bad we left our cell phones at home.
Nancy: You guys can use my cell phone.
Frank (taking the phone from her): Thanks, Nancy. (Dialing the number) Hey, Chet. This is Frank.
Chet (with a lot of sadness in his voice): Hey, Frank. What's up?
Frank: Hey, I understand why you're sad but you're really going to like this news.
Chet: I appreciate that, Frank but unless Iola's somehow alive, no news could ever make me feel better.
Frank: Actually, Chet that is the news. Iola is alive.
Frank said "Joe, we're not kidding. We mean it."
You aren't?!?!?!??!? Joe said excitedly.
Nancy smiled. "No! We really mean it," she said
