A/N: I don't own Nancy Drew or the Hardy Boys, Callie or Ned or any others…This is my first fanfic, so please review and bear with me. The seventh chapter is up. Please let me know how you think about it. I'm going to post short, ok?

Come on guys give me some reviews.

Oh Frank where are you? thought Nancy. "Look Will, whatever happened to Jane…it was not intentional. Don't let my friends suffer. You want me…please let Frank go."

"Worried about your boyfriend Nancy? Well we won't let him go that easily. I'm going to go and make preparations for both of you."

Saying this, Will left. Nancy looked about her. There was nothing she could use to cut the ropes which bound her hand.

"Where are the others George? I haven't seen Nancy or Frank for a long time. Have you seen them?" asked Bess worriedly.

"No Bess, I haven't seen them for a long time too. Hey Joe!" called George. "Where's your brother?"

"I don't know. Ned and I have been looking for hem for an hour," said Joe.

"Where's Ned?" asked Bess.

"He's coming…there he is. Hey Ned! Did you find them?"

"No. I've searched the whole place…no sign of them," answered Ned.

"Oh no! They are not in trouble, are they? Joe try to call Frank on his cell," said Callie.

"On it," answered Joe. "Hmm… No reply. Ned, try Nancy's cell."

"No reply either."

"They must be in trouble. What are we going to do?" cried Bess.

"All we can do now is wait. I'm going to inform the police. Ned, take Bess and George home. I'll be back within an hour or two," said Joe.

"Alright Joe." What have you got yourself into again Nancy? thought Ned.


In the other room, Frank had gained consciousness. "Ouch! My head hurts," said Frank as he took in his surroundings. Then the events came back inside his head. Oh NO! NANCY!

He looked around the room. It was dark and musty and damp smelling. His hands were tied around a pole. He struggled hard, however they didn't even budge. Hmm looks like I'm stuck here for a while.

Just then he felt something behind him…a glass bottle. Well looks like I'll have to cut these ropes in the old fashion thought Frank. I'll have to be careful not to make any noise.

He grabbed hold of the bottle and smashed it to the pole. It cracked with a great noise. So much for keeping quiet, thought Frank

Thankfully no one seemed to have heard the sound. Frank picked up a sharp edged glass piece and began to cut the ropes. After a long time they seemed to loosen a bit. Darn it! This is going to take forever. I have to get to Nancy, thought Frank.


"Please Officer, you have to help us. My brother and my friend are missing. You have to do something," pleaded Joe.

"I'm sorry Joe. You know the rules. I can't file a missing report now. They have to be missing for 24hrs before I do. However I will look into the matter. Please don't worry Joe. Your brother is a very tough guy. I'm sure he'll be able to handle the situation," replied Officer Bentley.

"Ok Officer," sighed Joe. "Inform me if you find something."

"Yes Joe. Now why don't you go home and wait. I'm sure Frank is ok wherever he is. Don't stress yourself," said Officer Bentley.

Joe retuned home. He saw George and Bess outside.

"What happened, Joe? Did you find anything?" asked George.

"No luck yet but I'm sure everything will be ok. Both Nancy and Frank are together and they'll be fine. They've faced much worse. They'll come out of this one as well," replied Joe. "Where's Ned and Callie?"

"They're inside," sobbed Bess. "Oh I hope Nancy will be fine. I'm so worried."

"Don't worry Bess," said Joe. "Come on inside. Have you guys eaten anything? Let me make something for you all."

Joe made Bess and George sit with Callie and went to the kitchen. He saw Ned making sandwiches.

"Joe?" asked Ned after a while. "Do you think Nancy will be all right?"

"I'm sure she's fine wherever she is. And besides," Joe added cheerfully as much as he could "she's with Frank. I'm sure they are fine."

"I hope you're right Joe. Why does Nancy have to get involved in all of this stuff? Can't she stay normal for two seconds? I can't remember any normal vacation we've had together. Something always came up. Normal life is what's missing. I can't stand the suspense…I can't stand not knowing if she's alright or not. I'm sick and tired of worrying about her! I hate her passion…I…I…I HATE HER FOR PUTTING ME THROUGH THIS! For putting her friends through this," shouted Ned. He stopped, taking a deep breath and looked at Joe. "Sorry about that. My emotions got better of me."

"It's ok Ned. I understand how you must feel. But this is Nancy Drew we are taking about. She's like that. You can't change it," replied Joe looking at Ned closely. "Here have some water. It'll calm you down."

"Thanks Joe," said Ned taking the glass of water from him. "I hope Nancy can make it through this time as well. She and I need to talk."
