Hardy Detective Agency featuring Hardy Boys Fan Fiction

Frank stood quietly in the waiting room, Fenton and Chief Collig had gone to see Charles Miller and show him Alice’s picture. Joanna was speaking to Con Riley, giving her statement on what she had seen in Alice’s dorm room. Frank turned his head, making sure that Con wasn’t looking his way. Seeing that Con was still busily scribbling in his notebook, Frank walked out the door. One thought kept pounding in his head. “I have to find Alice.”

Frank knew that if he found Alice, she would lead him to Joe and Callie. If he could convince her to let them go…..Frank would figure a way to escape. For now, Joe and Callie were his main concern.

All right, Alice isn’t in class. That means she’s either with Joe and Callie now, or out looking for me. Frank thought as he drove his car. Would she look for me at the university? No, if she’s as obsessed with me as I think she is….then she knows my last class ended hours ago.

As Frank waited for the stoplight to turn green, a sudden thought crossed his mind. If Alice knew his class schedule, would that mean she knew where he lived? The minute the light changed, Frank stepped on the gas and sped home.

Joe was still working on Callie’s ropes; he had yet to get them loose. Alice had tied the knots very tightly and Joe was having a hard time pulling them apart. Adding to Joe’s predicament, was the fact that Alice could return at any time.

“How are you doing Joe, any luck yet?”

“No, Alice must have been in the Girl Scouts or something. Either that, she was a sailor in a former life!”

Callie smiled to herself, good ole Joe, trying to make her feel less scared.

“Joe,” Callie said softly. “What do you think Alice is going to do to us?”

Joe could hear the fear in Callie’s voice. He wanted to tell her that Alice wouldn’t hurt them. But he couldn’t do that; Callie had helped them in enough mysteries to know he was lying.

“It’s okay Joe, you don’t have to answer. I think I already know.”

“Don’t be scared Callie, you know as soon as Frank finds out that we’re missing he’ll come find us.”

But will Frank find us before Alice kills us? Callie wondered.

Frank turned the corner and saw a car he didn’t recognize parked in the driveway. Entering his home, Frank left the small hallway and walked into the family room. Frank felt like he had just walked into his worse nightmare when he saw Alice sitting on the sofa, his mother by her side.

Laura Hardy gently patted Alice’s hand as she stood to greet her son.

“There he is Alice, I told you he would be here soon.”

Frank sensed something was wrong as Laura walked over to him. Frank bent his head down so his mother could kiss his cheek.

“I’m calling your father, keep her occupied.” Laura whispered in Frank’s ear.

Turning to face Alice, Laura smiled sweetly. “I’ll leave you two alone while I get dinner started. It was nice meeting you Alice.”

Once Laura disappeared into the kitchen, Frank confronted Alice.

“What are you doing here?”

“Didn’t you want to see me? Joe said you did.”

Joe! Did this mean he was still alive? Frank hoped they were.

“Alice, I’m sorry. Yes I did want to see you. My brain must still be fried from taking that Calculus test, I can’t believe I forgot.”

Frank slowly approached Alice, sitting next to her.

“Where is Joe anyway, shouldn’t he be here meeting up with us?”

“Who cares about Joe!”

“Well I do Alice. I mean I am his older brother, I have to take care of him. You know, the way that Joanna takes care of you.”

Alice, who had been cuddling Frank, moved away from him.

“Joanna doesn’t care about me! She snuck into my room…..she’s trying to poison me!”

“I won’t let her hurt you Alice. I’ll take care of you.”

“You promise?”

“Yes, I promise. But first take me to Joe. I just want to see that he hasn’t gotten into any trouble.”

Alice didn’t know if she believed Frank, she gazed intently at his face. Sensing the deep caring that seemed to glow from his brown eyes, she smiled at him.

“Joe’s sleeping right now, he’s staying at my special place. I made us dinner.”

“I bet it’s delicious too. Why don’t you take me there, right now. I’ll drive.”

Alice readily agreed, taking Frank’s hand they walked out the door.
