Hardy Detective Agency featuring Hardy Boys Fan Fiction

Quickly untying his legs, Charles stood up, slightly unsteady on his feet. He held onto the wall for a minute, his gaze never leaving Alice. Once he felt sure that his legs would hold him up, Charles let go of the wall. Alice stood quietly, watching Charles; a puzzled expression crossed her features.

“You’re not Frank Hardy.”

Watching Alice warily, Charles was amazed at how much fear he felt towards this girl. He figured that he outweighed her by at least eighty to ninety pounds. Charles saw Alice trying to hide something behind her back, he felt a stab of fear pierce his heart. Alice was holding a tranquilizer gun, Charles vaguely remembered being shot with that very gun.

“Who are you, what have you done with Frank!”

“My name is Charles Miller,” he said in a calm voice. “All I want to do is get out of here. If you let me leave, I promise not to tell anyone. I just want to get out of here.”

Charles had slowly begun to move towards the door, Alice moved a few steps back, silently watching Charles, waiting to make her move. While Charles kept an eye on the gun in Alice’s right hand, he failed to notice what she was holding in her left hand.

It took all of Frank’s willpower to concentrate on his test and not on his meeting with Joanna. Forty-five minutes later, he knew it was useless. He had half the test done and he knew that he had made several mistakes with his answers. With a heavy sigh, Frank closed the test booklet and turned it in. He would deal with his professor later; right now he had something more important to do.

Frank found Joanna sitting in the back of the café; he noted the worried expression on her face. Hurrying over to the table, Frank sat down.

“I hope you weren’t waiting long.”

“No, I got here a few minutes ago. I spoke with Alice’s ex-roommate, Mandy.”

A waitress came up to the table, after ordering two coffees’, Frank waited patiently for Joanna to speak.

“Frank, could you tell me how you met Alice.”

“Okay, I was heading to one of my classes, I noticed this girl walking very fast. I wondered why she was carrying her books when she had a bookbag over her shoulder. Next thing I know, she tripped and fell, I ran over to help. I noticed the small portfolio she had and saw some of the drawings and commented on how good they were. I helped her up and I introduced my self, made sure she wasn’t hurt and left. A few months went by and the one day Alice gave me a drawing she had done.”

“Oh dear, she must have been off her medication a lot longer than four months.”

“Medication, what medication?”

“Before I tell you, I need to show you something first Frank.”

Rummaging in her purse for her keys, Joanna stood up and beckoned Frank to follow her.

Joe got stuck behind a slow moving driver; he noticed a sign on the car that read “Student Driver”.

“I don’t believe this!”

Callie giggled; Joe glanced quickly at her, throwing Callie a dirty look.

“If that was Alice’s car you saw, she could be gone by now!”

“Not everyone is a speed demon like you Joe. Besides, if that was Alice, and she is gone. Well, we’ll just have to follow her again.”

“What’s with this “we”, kemosabe? There is no “we”, the only reason you’re here now is because you wouldn’t lend me your car.”

“If I recall, Batgirl always helped out Batman and Robin.”

“Oh, so you’re Batgirl now?”

“Oh goody, the student driver made a right turn. Let’s move it, Robin!”

“That’s Boy Wonder to you.” Joe growled as he increased his speed.

Getting their coffee to go, Frank paid the waitress and hurried after Joanna.

He was curious when they came to Reed Hall, one of the two girl dorm buildings. Luckily it seemed that no one was in, Frank followed Joanna down the hallway. She stopped when they came to a door at the end of the hall, she turned to face Frank.

“Brace yourself.”

Using her key to unlock the door, Joanna took a deep breath and walked inside. Frank took a step, he suddenly didn’t want to see what was inside. He could feel his skin begin to crawl as he walked inside.

“Oh My God.” Frank said in a frightened voice.
