A Chapter 2 recap:

The quiet room suddenly filled with the younger Hardy's voice, "Cost's all clear! Come on down."

Nancy smiled at Frank, "Let's rock and roll!"

Frank's brown haired head poked out of Nancy's bedroom door, "It's all clear."

Nancy grinned and followed Frank out of the room and headed for the stairs. When she reached the top Frank asked, "How are you going to get down the stairs?"

Nancy grinned as she straddled the sturdy mahogany banister, "Like this!"

And with that the young red head used her crutch to push off the carpet, and slid at an alarming rate down the stairs. When she neared the end of the railing she used her crutch again, this time as a break.

"Wow Nan, that was so cool! Have you been practicing that?" Frank whispered excitedly as he caught up with the girl sitting in the end of the railing.

Nancy nodded, "Yea, at night after Dad has gone to bed and Hannah is watching her favorite soap opera."

"Now," Nancy continued, "I need your help getting down, Can you just stand at the end of the stairs? I'm just going to use you as a crutch, mine might slip."

Frank nodded and got into position. Nancy positioned herself so that both her legs were now right next to each other and placed her hand on Frank's shoulder. She slid off the railing, and put her good foot down the banister was slightly taller than the girl and she started to topple forward. Frank turned and grabbed her as she started to fall. Looking up after righting her balance she thanked him, "Thanks, Frank, that would have made a terrible racket."

Frank nodded turning to get the crutches lying on the stairs and trying hide the slight blush that was creeping up his neck. Little did he know that Nancy was to trying to hide a blush. The boy handed the girl her crutches and together they made their way to the living room where another boy stood waiting.

"I'll go first," Nancy whispered as she and Frank knelt before the open window, addressing the younger Hardy Nancy said, "Now move Joe."

The boy stepped back and Nancy slowly slipped out the window. Leaning against the house for support the girl took her crutches from Joe and moved out of the way so Frank could exit the house.

Frank landed with a thump that was muffled by the thick mulch in the flowerbed. "Do you want me to close the window?"

"Yea, but not all the way, we have to get back in."

Frank nodded and pulled the window closed enough that someone standing in front of the sofa would think it was closed.

When Frank turned back to Nancy and his brother, Nancy smiled, "Let's blow this joint!"

Two hours later found Nancy, Frank, and Joe slowly making their way back to the Drew house. They had spent the afternoon at the neighborhood park. They had played a bunch of games and run (or hopped in Nan's case) all over and Frank and Nancy had enjoyed Hannah's cookies.

"That was fun but, I'm really tired." Joe said as he walked next to Nancy.

"Yea, I had fun too." Frank nodded from the other side of Nancy.

Nancy grinned, "I had a blast, if it weren't for you guys, I'd still be stuck in my room."

The boys smiled and as they reached the window paused. Frank stepped forward and pushed up the window slowly.

"Joe," Nancy said, "You go first."

"Why?"

"Because if you need any help, we'll be right here," The younger boy started to complain but Nancy continued, "And I'll need a boost to get my bad leg inside."

Grumbling the younger Hardy pulled himself to the window sill and with a less then graceful move, tumbled into the living room. Nancy slung her good leg on to the sill and started pulled herself into the room when she heard the words uttered by Joe, "Uh-Oh."

A soft knock at the study door caused both men inside to look up as Hannah entered the room. "What do you need Hannah?" Carson looked up.

"The children aren't in Nancy's room." The housekeeper said worriedly.

"What?" the men questioned.

"I went upstairs to see if they need anything and the room was empty."

Fenton looked at his friend, "Great."

"My thoughts exactly-" Carson paused as he looked out the window behind his friend, "Or not, look."

Fenton and Hannah turned just in time to see 3 ragged looking children turn to go to the other side of the house, "It looked like they're going to the living room."

The three adults quickly crossed the hall and were standing in the living room when Joe fell through the window. They boy stood up just as a thin, white le was flung across the sill and Nancy was pulling herself into the house as Joe said, "Uh-Oh."

Hannah almost smiled at the sight that met her eyes. Nancy was half in half out of the window, her good leg resting on the floor. Joe stood to her right, hands stuck in his pockets, an unreadable look on his face. Frank stood to Nancy's left on the outside of the window with his hands on her crutches. They looked tired but happy and when they saw the adults Frank's words seemed to sum up their looks, "Busted."

The three escapees stood in front of the desk in Carson Drew's office. Mr. Drew sat in the chair and Fenton was perched on the edge of the desk.

"Okay guys, how did you do it?" Fenton asked his children and the girl standing next to them.

"Do what?" Joe asked innocently. This comment earned him glares from his cohorts.

"Well," Nancy started explained and as she continued Frank and Joe both added their piece.

After everything was explained the kids stood in quiet fear as the fathers looked at each other…then burst out laughing. "You came up with and executed that all by yourselves?"

The kids looked at each other then nodded. Fenton smiled at Carson, "They're going to grow up and solve mysteries."

Carson nodded in agreement, "They are," addressing the kids, "If you ever do that again, you're in BIG trouble. Got it?"

"You mean we're not in trouble?" Joe asked for all three.

"Yea, yea…but like Carson said, trouble will just be the start if you ever pull a stunt like that again…" Fenton left the threat hanging, "Now go, we still have work to do."

They didn't need to be told twice. Nancy turned to her dad, "Can I stay down here?"

Carson smiled at his daughter, "I guess…"

But Nancy was already out the door. Smiling Fenton said, "They certainly are our kids."

Carson Drew just laughed.

I'M DONE! YEA! SO HAPPY! Now since it's the last chapter, I think I'd really like it if everyone who's reading this reviews…please?

Agent Striker

A little extra…

Fast forward 15 years and you find the trio sitting in the office of Hardy, Drew and Hardy Investigators.

It had been a pretty slow day at the office of Hardy, Drew and Hardy Investigators. Money was pretty tight and everything was a little tense. The second Hardy was playing darts and the first one was looking out the window at the rain running down the glass pane, Drew had her shoes off and was balancing her feet on the edge of her neat desk.

"Joe had better not mark that door, because if you do, you're repainting it." Nancy said.

"Yea, I know."

Silence again came over the room until Nancy again spoke, "Hey, do you guys remember the time we snuck out of my house…After sprained my ankle, we were only 8 or 9 at the time."

Frank smiled and Joe stopped throwing his darts, "Yea, I remember that."

Joe nodded and smiled, "I remember we had a lot of fun."

Nancy smiled at the memory. Good times, "Remember when we were in my dad's office and he and your dad said that we were going to grow up and solve mysteries?"

The brothers nodded, Joe answered, "Yea, why?"

"I've just always wondered how they came up with that prediction." Neither of brothers had the answer.

Silence again followed. Nancy stood up and pulled on her shoes, "Let's go do something."

"It's only 2:30. We can't leave yet." Frank looked at the girl.

"So we'll close up early, we are the bosses."

Joe dropped the darts on his messy desk, "Yea, let's take a half day."

Frank too stood up and shrugged, "Why not? What do you want to do?"

Nancy grinned as she reached for her coat, "Hannah just sent me a box of old pictures and stuff from past cases; we could go and take a trip back in time."

"And order in pizza?" Joe asked as the Frank locked the door behind them.

Nancy laughed as she linked arms with the brothers, "Why not?"

The tension in the air faded away as the trio walked arm in arm to the elevator.

Just a little thing I came up with please review! :}
