Nancy had her ear to the door trying desperately to hear the two guys talking on the other side. "I don't think… even if… damn those Hardy boys… I don't see how…" Nancy all but wanted to scream, she could only hear every other word.

She tried to get closer to the door. "You know very well that… We move her… I don't care we have too…" Nancy wished she could hear the whole conversation. She suspected from the sound of their voice and what little she did hear that the Hardy's were getting close to finding her. She had full faith in her family. She sighed and went back to her bed. Move her, She wanted to punch the wall. She needed to stay put she hoped they decided against moving her but if they were close it would push them in that direction.

She sat on the edge of her bed swinging her legs. She prayed that Lizzy was okay. It killed her being away from her this long. This had to end soon, one way or another.

Frank slammed the garage door as he walked into the kitchen. Anna turned and glared at him, "Frank, the girls finally went to sleep." Frank sat down at the table and hung his head, "Sorry." He mumbled the apology. Anna placed a drink in front of him. He gave her a small smile, "thanks."

"What's wrong now?"

"I just staked out an old building all night, I swear Nancy is there."

"So why are you mad?"

"Because there was no movement, nothing to signal that someone was there."

"So your gut and heart are telling you this is the building?"

Frank nodded slowly and Anna patted his arm, "then stake it out again from a different angle. I have always learned to trust my heart." Frank smiled at her, "I will. I won't give up."

Anna smiled, "damn straight. Nancy wouldn't stand for that." Frank chuckled at her and she smirked and left the room. Frank got up to grab a bite to eat. He couldn't stop. His family would not fall apart. He juggled a sandwich, drink, and phone as he walked into the dining room. They had to get this plan figured out.

As soon as he walked through the doorway his cell phone started ringing. He quickly set everything down on the table and answered the phone, "Frank Hardy."

"Hey it's Chet, I have an update for you."

"Secure line?"

"Of course, after hiring Phil we are golden on all tech related things."

"Hired?"

"Did you not know? Joe and Anna hired him."

"Oh, anyway what did you call about?"

"Talk to the Chief. You guys are in the clear. He never even mentioned you guys up as a suspect but they have nothing to go on. Phil and I are working on how to pin it back to the guys that took Liz and Nan. Oh good news, Phil has been playing with the video footage. He thinks he can get clearer more seeable images."

"That's awesome. I will shoot him an email. We all need to get together this evening or tomorrow. We have a job to pull off and time is running out."

"Phil is here at the office. We can come over whenever you need us. Just call us and give us a while to get there."

"Thanks for everything. You both have been great friends through this."

"Always. Okay let me know. I need to go have a pile of work."

"Bye. Talk soon."

Frank threw the phone beside him and sighed. He started going through more papers, more photos, more leads to nowhere. Frank put his head in his hands and pulled at his hair.

Joe threw a folder in front of Frank with Biff behind him. Frank raised his brow, "what is this?"

"I refuse to bust this dickwad out of jail." Joe said in a loud voice and Anna ducked her head in the dining room where they were, "shhh, the kids are asleep." Joe mumbled sorry and she ducked back out. Frank grabbed the folder and began flipping through it.

"I agree with Joe. There is no way possible that you can pull this off." Frank looked up at Biff once he was finished, "you will be on a plane."

Biff walked out of the room and slammed the door. Joe sighed and looked at his brother, "Frank, this isn't a good plan or idea." Frank looked at his brother with tears running down his face, "I can't give up on Nancy."

"Answer me this Frank. Either we do this get caught go to jail and or die. You wouldn't be able to watch your daughter grow up. We refuse to do this and."

Frank interrupted Joe with tears pouring down his face as he slammed his fist on the table, "and Nancy dies. At least if we get caught maybe Nancy will be with her."

"Listen Frank, I can understand where you are coming from. But if we get caught it means we fail that mean Nancy probably won't be kept alive. They will lose us to do their bidding."

Frank was so angry he couldn't form words. He looked up at Joe and Joe continued, "I refuse to do this Frank. I'm sorry. I love you and I love Nancy. I would do whatever it took to bring her back but this is too much. I will not lose my life over this."

Frank was beyond angry he threw his glass against the wall. He threw files and papers everywhere. "You are my brother. I would do whatever it took."

Joe stood up to avoid getting hit with flying objects, "Frank, I have twins on the way. I have a daughter who isn't even 2. I won't be missing from their lives."

Frank didn't even look at Joe. He just stormed out slamming doors along the way. Joe sighed as he put his head on the table. Anna came into the room and surveyed the mess and looked at her husband who looked broken torn. Anna laid her head on his shoulder whispering in his ear, "Joe, I love you."

Joe looked at his wife and pushed a strand of hair behind her ear. "I love you too, baby." He kissed her belly, "I love you two, also."

Anna moved his arms so she could sit on his lap. She wrapped herself against him, "What happened?" Joe stiffened slightly and Anna held his face while brushing her thumb over his face, "you don't have to tell me."

"I need to. I refuse to do what needs to be done. I won't break that man out of prison."

Anna placed several soft kisses on Joe's lips. "Honey, I understand. Don't beat yourself up over this."

"I have lost him and Nancy."

"Joseph Hardy, don't even think that. Your brother and you have been through a lot together. He can't expect you to throw away your life. The thought of you never seeing our unborn babies, I honestly can't." She couldn't finish her sentence tears were streaming down her face. Joe quickly wiped them away and kissed her all over. "Baby, please. I don't think you should be getting upset."

Anna slowly nodded her head and wiped her face, "let's not worry about Frank. Let's go spend some time with the girls." Joe nodded and they both got up. Joe grabbed her hand and kissed it, "Are you packed?"

"I think all of us are almost done. Will you be joining us now?"

"No, I will stay here at the house." Joe glanced over at Anna as he said this and noticed she was biting her lip. He stopped her on the stairs and turned her towards him, "I promise you I will not do anything that would land me in jail." Anna gave him a small kiss, "thank you."

Joe pulled her back towards him and kissed her more passionately. "You are more than welcome, baby. I will spend tonight showing you how much I love you."

"I always know, and I will gladly return the favor." She kissed him once more than pulled him up the stairs.
