Nancy Drew: The Mystery of the Hidden Basement (ON BREAK)

Chapter 2: A Helping Hand

Nancy politely knocked on the door and rang the doorbell, which sounded like birds chirping. Then suddenly she heard chatter inside the house,

"James, get the door!" a female voice shouted, "But what if it's a robber!" a young male voice yelled back. She knew it was time to chime in to try and convince the boy she's not a robber,

"Trust me, I'm not a robber. It's just my TV went out and I wonder if you heard the news about tha-" She was interrupted by the boy who immediately knew what she was talking about,

"The house that was on the news? If that's what your talking about, come on in!" Soon after hearing footsteps rushing downstairs, she heard a door creek open. Yes, the boy who thought she was a robber opened the door.

He was slightly taller then Nancy, dark blue eyes and same shade of hair that Nancy has,

Nancy was struggling to find good words to make a good 'Hello' sentence, so she embarrassedly said "Heh, we're kinda look related since we almost look the same."

Then the boy replied shortly after "Yeah, it's scary honestly. But I do remember my mother telling my that her and your mother were good friends in school. Anyways, come in!

She walked into a clean, warm room which she assumed it was the family room, which led into the kitchen.

"Wow. This is amazingly clean! And this is where you guys watch 608?" she said, "Yes, but we are currently watching American Idol, farewell season gets exciting and emotional y'know?" he replied, "Wait, I've been out there until 8:00 PM, AT NIGHT!" she asked surprised "Nope, it's pre-recorded. Anyways, what do you need to know about the house?

Nancy sighed and said "What was the number of the house informater?" she asked, "It was ****-****-****, and there's another number, ****-****-****. Here, I'll write it on a note" he replied with a smile on his face as he wrote the note.

"Okay, but why two numbers?" Nancy asked,

"Uhh, because in case the one is down, that's all!" he replied nervously.

"Okay, I guess I'll get going now..." Nancy grabbed the note and walked to the door and walked to her parents house,

She ran into her bedroom and grabbed her phone, dialing in the second number,

"Come on.. Pick up.." Then suddenly someone was starting to speak, but it wasn't a computer some of those companies use,

"Hello and who are you?" the voice said, "I'm Nancy Drew, and who are you?" she asked "Avalo-" she was interrupted by Nancy,

"AVALON YOUNG?" she replied in excitement "No, Avalon TERA, not young. Also known as James's sister, and you seemed to have called his phone."

"Oh, guess I gotta go now, seeya." Nancy said,

"Nice move, James," she said sarcastically.
