After breaking into and stealing the keys to her car from her parent's home, Callie Shaw had no idea what she was going to do. Looking in the rear view mirror, she saw a car behind her. Panicking, she hoped that it wasn't a police car and tried wish them away. The car pulled past her and continued on its way. Callie knew that she needed to hide and fast. She reached into the glove box and called the one person that she hoped would help her. After the phone call, she decided to get some sleep.

Joe was concerned. The police were at the house; worried that Callie would attempt to call. When the phone rang, everyone held his or her breath. Joe picked it up and heard Chet on the other end, "Callie wants to hide here! I freaked and said that she could. She'll be here in about…20 minutes!"

"Chet, calm down. We'll be there to help, and we're bringing the police." Joe looked over at Frank, who was nodding. In 10 minutes they were at the Morton family farm. Chet looked worried as the police began to hide in various places. They instructed Frank and Joe to remain out of sight. Taylor, who was with them, clung to Frank's arm. Just as everything was in place, Callie's car pulled up.

Callie eyed the man that Chet was talking to. Chet looked as if he were giving the man instructions, and when the man walked away, Chet turned and smiled at Callie. Callie got out of her car and walked over, looking around nervously. "Who was that?"

"That was Ben. He was looking for work and dad offered him a job." Chet shrugged as if it were nothing. "Come on, I had him fix up the guest room." Chet led the way to the house. Callie felt something heavy in her jacket pocket. Just as she walked in the door, out of curiosity, she pulled the object to discover that it was a gun.

Joe had been watching the house through a pair of binoculars. He passed them to Taylor and was about to say something to Frank when Taylor let out a gasp, "She just pulled out a gun!" At that moment, they heard gunfire from the house. None of them moved for a moment, and then all three ran to the house. They weren't the only ones. Police came from everywhere and ran inside. The officers that were inside were a flurry of activity. Several had wrestled Callie to the ground, some had their guns pointed at her. The rest were taking care of Chet, who was on the ground. The bullet had hit Chet in his shoulder. An officer was badly shaken by the whole thing. "An inch higher and she would have killed him. It's a good thing that I'm shorter than she is."

"What happened?" Chief Collig asked the man.

"The young man was walking in and then the suspect. I saw the weapon in her hand and yelled, 'gun'. The suspect then lifted the weapon and aimed it at me. The young man got in the way and was hit. Is he alright?" The last part was aimed at the EMT that was working on Chet. The EMT looked up and said, "We've got to get him to the hospital, right now!" They rushed Chet out and to the ambulance. When it sped away, Callie was read the charges against her. Just as they were about to read her rights, the police radio came to life. An officer listened and then yelled, "Hey, Chief! The DA is on her way here with a Search Warrant. She said not to do anything until she gets here!" When the DA arrived, she was clearly not the type to be messed with. With the look of a strict teacher that had moved on to law enforcement, the DA handed over the search warrant. Chief Collig glanced at it and then nodded, agreeing to the search. Frank, Joe and Taylor watched as the police with the DA searched the car. Several pieces of jewelry were produced as well as some wallets and watches. The DA nodded and turned to look at Callie, "Miss Shaw, in the amended report, you are now under arrest for the following: escaping from jail, assault on a police officer, 2nd degree murder, breaking and entering, grand theft auto in the first degree, and 11 counts of manslaughter." The DA motioned for the police to read Callie her rights. As they did so, Callie stared at Frank, who was now looking at her as if she were a stranger to him.

In the room where he was kept prisoner, the Gray Man sat next to the window. He wished that he knew where he was and why he was there. He sighed and looked at the view. It was nice. Too bad about the bars across the windows. Yes, it was a very nice hospital.

Fenton Hardy arrived at his destination. Going to the hotel room that was waiting for him, he prepared for what could be weeks of following a woman that the Gray Man suspected was selling Network information. Until he had proof that she was, he was not to contact any one. He wished that he would be allowed to get in touch with the Gray Man, but the Network agent's letter said that he himself was working on a case and that there was no one that he trusted more than Fenton to watch the woman. Mentally grumbling about the active imaginations of the Network, Fenton decided to sleep off the jet lag.

Callie's parents were allowed to visit with their daughter for a few minutes. The police were no longer taking risks. Callie was handcuffed to the chair and a police anklet kept her attached to the table. Mr. Shaw spoke first, "How could you? Twelve people, Callie. TWELVE!"

"Daddy, I don't know what to say…."

"I do." Mr. Shaw was about to continue when his wife stopped him. Mrs. Shaw looked at her daughter sadly and turned away. Mr. Shaw held his wife's hand and added, "Your mother and I were lucky. We hadn't signed anything yet, so the house is still ours. They were going to deny you bail, but the lawyer, for reasons I'll never understand, convinced them to let you out. You'll be under House Arrest with a police officer at the house. That officer will not have a gun on him, a precaution due to what you've done. Also, he will take you to and from school, if they allow you back. During transport, you'll be handcuffed. You'll also do as you are told."

"Why, Daddy? What convinced them to let me out?"

"Thankfully, we're not adding Chet to your list of people that you've killed. He stood up for you in court. You bond is $600,000,000. Taylor is paying the whole thing." Callie felt a wave of anger. Taylor, all of this started because of her. Instead of saying this, Callie stayed silent.

Frank and Joe went to the farm to visit Chet. They were grateful that Chet would be fine. The bullet only wounded him. Chet had stood up for Callie before the DA and Taylor was at that moment, explaining to her uncle why she was paying the bail of a young woman that had killed so many people. That night, at the Hardy household, it was decided that the Hardy women would go on vacation until the trial was over. After everyone else went to bed, Frank ended up leaving the house under orders from Vachel-Thiery. He went to Callie's home and after ten minutes, left
