Hello everyone! This is my first fanfiction ever. Wish me luck. I don't own Nancy Drew, the Hardy boys or Bess. Though I wish I did.


Chapter 1

"Bess. Bess wake up." Nancy shook the sleeping girl slightly.

"Hmm. Wh-what?" Bess asked in a sluggish voice.

"The plane is getting ready to land," Nancy replied.

"Ok," Bess quickly took out a hand held mirror and started fixing her hair and makeup. Nancy smiled and shook her head. Only Bess would think of fixing her hair before getting off a plane.

Nancy was anxious to get off, it had been a long flight from her home town River Heights to Newark Airport. Plus, she was really excited about her new case. Her father had received a call the other day from an old friend, asking if Nancy would be interested in a mystery concerning his daughter. She quickly accepted and asked Bess if she would like to come along. Not being given a lot of details on the case, she was eager to get started.


Frank watched as the city scenery turned into suburbs. He also noticed that Joe's speed started to pick up as well.

"Joe. Just because we're out of the city, doesn't mean the speed limits increased." Frank said disapproving.

"Actually Frank it does. See less traffic means less cops which equals faster driving." Joe stated as a smirk crept onto his face.

Frank rolled his eyes and decided it would be wiser to just drop it.

"So what did dad tell you about this case anyway."

"Nothing really. Only that the victim "Maddie" was shot at and was left a ransom note for her boyfriend Matt." Frank replied as he took out his notes.

" Wow, being shot at just to receive a note. That's just a bit extreme. Don't you think?"

"Yeah and the police don't have any evidence except for the bullets that were used in the shooting."

"My favorite kind of case, the ones we have to start from scratch," Joe groaned.

"I'm not thrilled either but hopefully we'll find something when we get there."

Joe nodded in agreement and set his eyes back onto the road.

Although Frank disagreed with Joe's speed, he secretly wished he'd go faster. For his father had told him that Nancy Drew had also been invited to investigate since her father was friends with Maddie's father. He'd kept this information from Joe to avoid the possible teasing that would probably come along with it.

Frank sighed and relaxed as Joe turned onto their exit.


How did I do? Is this worth continuing? Please review and let me know!
