Chapter 2- Off to Hollywood

March 13, 1934

"So when exactly are we leaving again?" George asked.

Nancy continued packing yet another one of her dresses into her suitcase. She sighed and finally turned around.

"We're supposed to be at the airport tomorrow morning at seven

o'clock." she said.

"Seven? In the morning?" Bess asked incredulously, and Nancy nodded.

"That's early. Who's going to take us there?"

"Ned will," Nancy replied immediately. Ned was Nancy's boyfriend of

many years. "And that reminds me, I have a date in an hour. So you two are going to have to go soon."

George sighed. "I knew this would happen," she said. "We're being

replaced, Bess." She stood up. "We'll just go now. And pack. That is, if you still want us to come."

Nancy rolled her eyes. "You know it's not like that," she said.

"Oh, we know what you mean," Bess said with a grin. "You want some

time alone with your love before you go off on a case."

"Well, excuse me for wanting to spend some time with Ned instead of you for a change." Nancy said.

"She's right, Bess," George said. "At least she has a boyfriend.

That's more than either one of us has."

Bess stood up. "Yes, you have a point," she said. Then she picked up her handbag. "Well, we will talk to you later. I hope you have a wonderful time tonight."

"Thank you." Nancy said. She didn't miss the teasing sarcasm in her voice, but she ignored it. "See you tomorrow morning."

"Oh, sure." George said.

"You'd better be there. I don't think Ned would like it if I went off

by myself."

"You're right," Bess said. "He wouldn't like it at all. Alright. See

you tomorrow."

"Bye."

The next morning, at six o'clock sharp, Ned arrived at the Drews' residence in his black roadster.

When Nancy opened the door, he smiled at her and greeted her with a peck on the cheek.

"Good morning, Nancy." he said.

"Good morning to you," she replied. Ned picked up her two bags. "I can get those," she began, but Ned shook his head.

"It's fine," he said, and walked toward the car. Nancy followed. She

got in the front passenger seat while Ned put the luggage in the trunk. Ned then got in the driver's seat. He sat there a moment then glanced at Nancy. "Are you ready?" he asked her.

Nancy nodded. Ned started the car and the young couple left.

An hour later, they arrived at the train station. Bess and George went ahead of Nancy to let Nancy have alone time with Ned. They were busy getting their tickets and putting all their bags on the train.

Nancy and Ned, meanwhile, were standing in the middle of the station, still in each others arms. "I wish you could go." Nancy said softly.

Ned kissed the top of her head. "I do, too," he said. "But I can't.

Not with everything going on here."

"I know." Nancy said. Suddenly, the train's whistle blew one last time.

She sighed. "I'd better go." she said finally.

Ned nodded and kissed her again. "If you need anything, anything at

all, just send me a telegram." he said.

"Alright." Nancy said. They embraced one last time before Nancy whispered, "Goodbye."

They let go and Nancy smiled at him and, picking up her

luggage, began to walk off. Ned watched her until she was out of sight. Then, finally, he, too, left.
