Hardy Detective Agency featuring Hardy Boys Fan Fiction

Frank was worried about Joe’s involvement in their new case. He waited anxiously for Fenton to come home. Not only did Frank want to tell him what he found out from Shane, but also he wished to discuss Joe’s behavior.

Sitting in his room, Frank could hear a clang! Sound as Joe threw a ball into his trashcan. He smiled at his brother’s cheer as he made his basket. Frank became more thoughtful as he recalled how Joe seemed so protective of Miracle during lunch break. The gang had welcomed Miracle into their circle, Tony flirting outrageously, Biff and Chet bringing Tony down a notch with their teasing insults. Phil peppering Miracle with questions on the difference of being home-schooled and attending a public school. Callie making a shopping date for that weekend.

Frank was so lost in his thought that he didn’t hear Joe come into the room.

“Hey Frank, you okay?”

“Huh – what?”

“Where did you go? I’ve been standing here for the past three minutes telling you that mom said that dinner is ready.”

“Oh, sorry…” Frank wasn’t sure what else to say. “I uh…I guess I better get washed up, then. I’ll be down in a minute.”

Looking at Frank as if he were some strange creature, Joe shook his head and mumbled an “Okay” as he left.

As Frank was going downstairs, he met up with Fenton who was coming up the stairs.

“Dad,” Frank said softly. “I need to talk to you!”

Leading Frank into his bedroom, Fenton closed the door. “What’s wrong, son?”

“I’m worried about Joe. I think…I think he’s taking this case a little too personally.”

“How so?”

“I’m not sure how I can explain it…it’s the way he treats Miracle. I’m worried that he’s using her to replace Iola.”

Fenton sighed. “I know your brother feels responsible for her death but there wasn’t anything he could have done!”

“I know that and you know that! But Joe…It’s like he’s trying to redeem himself…if he can save Miracle…then Iola’s death wouldn’t be in vain.”

“I don’t think Joe will want to be taken off this assignment. For now, keep a close eye on him.”

“Okay,” Frank sighed.

Shane heard laughter when he arrived home; he wondered who else was here. The laughter was coming from the library. He stopped at the entrance of the library, watching Miracle, who was surrounded by several teenagers. He recognized Frank and Joe and wondered who the other teens were. As he watched Miracle giggling and joking along with the others, he had a sudden insight on what his sister’s life would have been like if she had been born healthy. His eyes narrowed as one of the boys, of Italian decent, take Miracle’s hand and kiss it.

“Ahem!” Shane walked inside the room, keeping a close eye on the young dark-haired teen.

“Shane!” Miracle smiled up at her brother. “Everybody, this is my brother Shane. Shane, this Tony…(Shane gave Tony a hard stare)…Callie, Chet, Biff and Phil! You already met Frank and Joe.”

Taking his eyes off Tony, Shane greeted the others. “Hi! What are you all up to?”

Joe, Tony and Chet let out a distressed groan. Callie leaned against Frank and just smiled. Miracle giggled. Biff just shook his head, Phil pushed his glasses up.

“Frank and I are just helping out the lower classmen with an English assignment.” Phil answered.

“Romeo and Juliet, we have to either reenact part of the play, or make something from that time period.” Miracle continued about the assignment.

Callie turned to look at Shane. “Miracle and I were thinking of making some clothes, I have some old Barbie dolls we could use.”

“Frank is going to give me, Biff and Chet some pointers on sword fighting.” Joe said.

“And what about you, Tony?” asked Shane.

“I’m helping Phil and Frank keep those three in line.” Tony replied as he pointed towards Joe, Biff and Chet.

Just then a tall redhead came into the room; Minerva Adams smiled at the teens. “Would anyone like something to drink? We have juice, soda, mineral water.”

After getting the drink requests, Minerva left the room. Shane pretended he was searching for a book He kept glancing over at the group. He wasn’t sure if he liked this Tony fellow.

Biff had noticed the glare that Shane had thrown Tony’s way; he leaned over to whisper to his friend. “I don’t think Miracle’s brother likes you.”

Tony just smiled. “I’m used to it. I get that reaction from girls’ brothers all the time.”

“Gee I wonder why?” Biff teased.

“It’s my Italian charm and good looks. It’s a curse, I tell you!”

*****

Somewhere outside Bayport city limits….

A young woman looked up as a young man walked inside the house. She brushed back her dark hair and confronted him.

“Well, is he going to pay us the money?”

“He still won’t give me an answer. But get this…he hired Fenton Hardy to protect her.”

“You’re joking!”

“Nope! Not only can we get back at Reynolds, we can also get our revenge on Hardy!”

The young woman smiled.
