"Okay, I’ll be back in a few minutes. Don’t accidentally walk off the dock – it’s a long drop onto those rocks!" Joe chuckled, and Frank heard his footsteps retreating. It seemed very quiet and peaceful there, now that the boat had departed; other than Joe, no one else was around.

Frank kept filming a little while longer, then hit the ‘pause’ button. He was just starting to lower the camcorder when he was startled by a hard shove in the back, and he felt someone grab at the strap connected to the camera.

Instinctively reacting to the push, Frank staggered, his hands clutching at his precious camera, which still swung from its strap about his neck. Overbalanced, the elder Hardy boy stepped the wrong way, and suddenly felt nothing but air beneath his foot.

He was going to fall from the wharf onto the cruel rocks below!
