Here'a an update. Hope y'all like.
Nancy threw a wadded up piece of paper against the wall. It's been eight days since Frank and Joe disappeared. She rubbed her temples as Laura came walking into the room.
"Any luck?" Laura asked carrying a cup of hot cocoa.
"Nothing!" Nancy exclaimed. She took the offered cup and looked back at her notes. "We've tried tracking Joe's cell phone. Nothing. Tried their watches. Nothing!"
"So what now?"
"I know I'm missing something. But what?" Nancy said as she took a sip of her cocoa. They sat in silence. Nancy picked up Frank phone and looked at the last message. The answer had to be here. Fenton walked into the room.
"Well. Still nothing." He stated as he sat beside his wife. He noticed Nancy staring at Frank's phone. "She's going to stare at that phone till it talks to her." He chuckled.
Two hours later, Fenton and Laura had fallen asleep on the couch. Nancy looked up and thought how that could be her and Frank right now.
"I'll get you for ruining my wedding." Nancy whispered into the air. She looked back at the phone. "Come on Nanc. Think like a Frank," She read the text again. "Why didn't you give me hint of where you…" Nancy stared at the phone.
Tel Nanc we need help. Joe uncon. Wound bad. Look hi. In lg build. Hurry.
"That's' it!" She exclaimed. Fenton and Laura started. Fenton jumped from the couch and pulled his gun.
"Freeze!" He shouted as he looked around. He looked at Nancy in confusion. "What just happened?"
"Frank told me where to look." Nancy said with wonder. "I just didn't notice."
"What are you talking about?" Fenton asked.
"The text." Nancy said showing it to Fenton again.
"I don't get it." He said scratching his head.
"He misspelt words." She said "On purpose. I thought it was just a text thing."
"Explain please." Laura pleaded.
"Give me a minute." Nancy said as she sat down at the desk and quickly wrote out the message. "They're in a science lab of some kind."
"How do you know?" Fenton asked. "Let me call Con real quick then you can explain." He quickly placed the call. "They'll be here in ten. Now please explain." He looked at the paper in Nancy's hand.
"I don't know if I can." She said sheepishly.
Ly scious ed gh are
. "It doesn't make sense. " Fenton said as he looked at the paper. Nancy tried to piece together the message.
"Scious ed." Nancy pointed out. " believe is supposed to be 'Science ed' or science lab."
"ok." Fenton said.
"I'm not sure what the rest means."
"I'm sure you will figure it out." Laura said as she left the room. "I'm starting supper."
Nancy continued to stare at the message. It had never taken her this long to figure out a case. She leaned back in the chair and groaned. She heard Fenton pick up the paper and look at it. There was a knock on the door.
"Come in." Fenton called. Con walked into the room.
"What's up?" He asked looking from Nancy to Fenton.
"We figured their in a science lab." Nancy began. "Somewhere high."
"Ok?" Con said as he took the paper from Fenton. "High? Like mountain? Or high school?" Nancy and Fenton stared at Con. "What did I say?"
"A high school science lab!" Nancy exclaimed. She grabbed the paper from Con and sat back down. She quickly wrote on the paper
Ly science are. _ science lab. High school. Gremlin O'Hare.
Fenton and Con watched as she wrote.
"She is amazing." Con whispered. "Like Frank in a lady's body."
"I guess that's why he's marrying her." Fenton answered with a laugh.
"They're at Gremlin O'Hare High School of Science." Nancy whispered.
"Ok." Con said. "Let's head over there." Con radioed headquarter to prepare backup. "You coming?"
"You bet I am." Nancy said jumping up. Fenton quickly told his wife where they were going then headed out. They all piled into Con's car and then they were speeding down the road.
"I wonder which lab their in." Con said as he drove. The school was about twenty miles outside of town.
"I'm trying to figure it out." Nancy said, still looking at the paper. They pulled into the vacant parking lot about thirty minutes later.
"Ok." Con said as he handed out walkie-talkies. "When we get inside, we're splitting up. Keep in contact. These talkies are also connected to our back up. They should be here shortly. Page me every five minutes." He leveled a look at Nancy.
"Yes sir." She said sheepishly
"If you find them. Page us immediately." He handed Nancy a small pistol. "You know how to use this, right?"
"I do." Nancy said nodding her head.
"Don't be afraid to shoot." Con looked Nancy in the eye. "If you hesitate, you could die." Nancy nodded her head.
"Good luck." Fenton said as they headed for the door.
"Same to you." Nancy said.
So... What you think? Hope you njoyed.
