Hardy Detective Agency featuring Hardy Boys Fan Fiction

Laura Hardy wasn’t sure how she had been able to call Fenton. Her hands were shaking so badly with fright that it took her a few minutes to calm herself down. When she had first answered the door and found Alice standing outside, Laura had been pleased to meet one of Frank’s new friends. It wasn’t until she and Alice started talking that Laura became frightened.

While Alice admired the family photos on the mantle, she had turned to Laura and began to talk about Frank. As Laura listened to Alice speak, she felt the icy fingers of fear grip her heart.

Hearing Fenton’s voice when he answered his cell phone, Laura felt her fear subside a little bit. Quickly telling him about Alice and that Frank was now keeping her occupied.

“Laura, Ezra and I will be there as soon as we can. I know this is hard, but try and remain calm. Just act as normal as possible.”

“I’ll do my best Fenton. I’m just glad Gertrude decided to go visit that friend of hers in Arizona.”

Hanging up the phone, Laura thought that the most normal thing she could do was offer their guest something to drink. Going to the refrigerator she took out the pitcher of lemonade. Taking a deep breath, a smile plastered on her face, Laura walked into the family room.

“I made some lemonade this afternoon, would you like some Alice?”

Laura found the room empty, Frank and Alice were gone.

Joe let out a small whoop of joy; he could finally feel the ropes loosening. Callie whispered words of encouragement to Joe, she cried out with relief when her hands were free. Callie was tempted to hug Joe, but she knew that would have to wait.Sitting up, Callie turned around and began to work on Joe’s restraints.

“Oh gee, she really did tie these tight!”

“Callie, she may have tied our wrists tight but she didn’t do a very good job on our feet. Get yourself loose and get out of here. Never mind about me.”

“No way Joe, I’m leaving you here. I have an idea. I’ll untie your feet and help you up. Then once we’re out of here, we’ll find a way to get your hands untied.”

“I can’t protect you if my hands are tied behind my back.”

“Tough! You’re just going to let me do the protecting. Now come on!”

While arguing with Joe, Callie had gotten herself loose and untied Joe’s feet. Mumbling his displeasure, Joe let Callie help him off the floor.

“I bet the door’s going to be locked.” Joe mumbled discouragingly.

Callie stuck her tongue out at Joe when the door opened.

“I guess we were too heavy to carry upstairs.” Callie said as they past the staircase.

Joe looked up and spotted something on the middle step. It was the bloody knife that Alice had dropped.

“Callie look the knife! Alice had a knife and she dropped it when she was coming down the stairs. You can use that to cut me loose.”

Callie grimaced when she saw the knife. “Joe, it’s got blood on it.”

“I know and I’m sorry about that. Please Callie pick up the knife and cut me loose.”

“Ooh I think I’m going to be sick.” Callie said as she picked the knife up. Quickly cutting Joe’s ropes and handing the knife to Joe when she was done.

Not wanting to carry a bloody knife around, Joe spotted an empty planter pot and stored the knife there. He took hold of Callie’s hand.

“Let’s get out of here.”

Walking out the front door, Callie and Joe were coming down the front porch steps when a car pulled up into the driveway. At first overjoyed to see Frank driving the car, Joe felt his heart jump with fear when he caught sight of Alice.
