Hardy Detective Agency featuring Hardy Boys Fan Fiction

Six months later, the bad guys were in jail. And the Hardy family was back to their routine with one very notable exception.

They had a new member to the family.

Jay was well on the way to recovery both physically and mentally. She had taken the high schools equivalency exams and aced them. As a result of this and on the recommendation of the high school counselor, she had told them to let Jay go ahead and enter college.

And as always her newly adopted ‘brothers’ were on hand to help her every step of the way. Frank was helping her get ready for her college entrance exam and Joe was helping her exercise to keep her body from getting stiff and sore after the surgery.

Fenton too had been true to his word. She received her social security number, and when she got better he told her she would be able to get a proper drivers license in her own name.

More than anything however, she felt safe, maybe for the first time in her life. She had a new family, and even a new name, Jayne, reflecting her old life and changing ever so slightly to reflect her new one. Suddenly she was actually looking forward to getting up in the mornings, the days were full of opportunity, not of pain, and her life was only going to get better.

Jay knew that she had a lot to learn, but she also knew that she had people who would help her every step of the way. She also started writing a journal as a way of dealing with the ghosts from her past and to help her face the new challenges being presented to her everyday.

One Sunday afternoon, everyone was at the Hardy household, having a family barbecue. Frank and Joe were splashing each other in the pool. Fenton and Laura were cooking on the grill. Callie and Vanessa were sunning and laughing at Frank and Joe.

Jay sighed deeply everything was perfect she thought. She looked at everyone and smiled. She was near the picnic table under the parasol with her books around her. She leaned her head back and closed her eyes. Before she realized it, she was asleep.

“Joe, look at Jay,” whispered Frank.

“Is she asleep?” asked Joe quietly as he could manage.

“Yes, I think she is,” said Frank.

Joe walked over to Jay, he couldn’t help reading one or two of the lines that she had scribbled on her journal;

True love is an extraordinary gift that is always given never taken, always gloriously patient and never fails. Love is a power that can never be made or forced. But it is something that we truly desire to be ours forever.

Frank walked up behind him. He read over Joe’s shoulder.

“She should be a writer,” said Joe.

“Or a poet,” said Frank. “I love you, little brother.”

“I love you, big brother,” said Joe smiling. “You think she’s okay right here?”

“Yeah,” said Frank. “She is at peace.”

Frank and Joe finally understood that life itself is the great adventure and love the ultimate prize. They felt as if they were rich beyond their dreams.

Frank gave Joe a devious smile. Joe knew he was up to something. Frank suddenly grabbed Joe and pushed him into the pool. But Joe was ready for him, so he dragged Frank in with him. Callie and Vanessa soon joined the two and they were all playing.

Fenton and Laura sitting by the grill were watching the foursome, laughing. Their family was safe and together.

The End
