Nancy flips out that the kidnapper must have moved the evidence - way to tell everyone where it was right after you found it, Nancy - but even Joe is kind of like, “You crazy.” Joe tells us they searched the whole building, but it was all gone. Wait, what? Yup, by the time the police arrived, the pizza boxes and Maya’s shoe had disappeared. But now the police think Maya’s not in the building, especially since they never found the evidence in the magician’s room. Anyway, Joe thinks the call is a hoax - apparently because it came from Granite City? Which is like 15 minutes away, so it’s not like the kidnapper couldn’t have driven. Joe is, as always, all indignant - “Can you believe this ransom demand comin’ outta thin air?” No, we sure can’t. That said, his insistence on calling Brady “Charmstrong”, which isn’t a very insulting nickname, makes me think that he hates Brady the way Draco Malfoy hates Harry Potter. Nick, meanwhile, is not very happy with Brady.
Joe has left us a little note telling us to come see him immediately, so I guess we’ll do that. However, the monetary demand makes the police think that the kidnapper doesn’t actually care about the demolition, so they’re going ahead with it today. And of course, the kidnapper used a voice distorter, so no one could tell if they were male or female. The call came from Granite City, which Google tells me is in Illinois, about 15 minutes away from St.
This seems kind of weird, since it says the kidnapper called at 4:36 PM, and I feel like Nancy wouldn’t have left the Palladium so early, but - whatever. So after we left yesterday, a ransom demand for $50k came in. You know, Nancy kept saying that we had three days - or 72 hours, at least - but the wrecking crew is literally standing by from the moment we get there, so we really had more like two days, and a few hours now. HAD IT seems to have given up and gone home, and the Palladium is all shut down and sad-looking. So it’s day three, otherwise known as the final countdown, if you will. And someone tried to trap Nancy Drew in the basement, leaving her body to lie in the Chamber of Secrets forever. But at least Sergeant Mac finally agreed to help us out, because we now have inarguable, incontestable, beyond-all-doubt evidence proving that she’s in the theater.
