Princess was in her room surrounded by many pictures of Delia decott.

"I know. I only recently discovered... ...that movies aren't shot from beginning to end.
So I took the last movie she ever made...
...and reassembled the shots in the order they were photographed"

"Okay...but I don't see what this has to do with me"

"I just noticed something strange. The last month before she disappeared, she's only shown from here up.Maybe she was pregnant"

"Nah" princess shook her head and gets up, "that can't be right, She didn't have any kids. Never married and no kids"

"It's just a hunch. Also, the photograph in this magazine is dated just after her reappearance"

"There's an X on her robe. I believe that insignia will tell us where she was hiding I've called the hospitals and hotels that include the letter X...but so far, nothing. I need to talk to someone who's an expert in clothing. Princess you lived here for so long what can you tell me about Delia"

"Can't say much, I don't even know her or seen her movies"

"Oh, oh and one more thing. She's often with this strange figure"

She shows pictures of a shadow figure with Delia.

"but he's always obscured. A hand at the edge of a picture, a silhouette...even a blur. I think she called him Lou."

Then princess grabs her chin and starts to think.

"Hmm Lou?...Lou? I feel like I heard that name before"

"You have? Where?"

"I...don't remember"

"Well...I have to find out who this man is. I just have to solve this case"

"Ok? But what do I have to do with it, I need someone who's known this city more then me, I need your help"

Princess saw how Nancy was begging for her help.

"Alright...I'll see what I can do"

They were out in the city, princess taking her to a movie set where a movie was about to be played.

"I think there was a Costume Department on the set of every film?" Princess says.

"Yeah, but you should know that movie people are kind of crazy"

"Oh, goodness How crazy can they be?"

"Really crazy."

"Dude, are we on yet?"

"No, I gotta be on one more..."

"You' re fine"

"Oh, I just had a question"

"And I'm all out of answers. You look '50s. Go to set"

"But I was just wondering if maybe-"

"Now!"

"Here we go. Okay, we're moving"

"We're moving, people"

The next thing princess and Nancy knew they were out on set.

"We're on our way"

"We are moving!"

"Hey, guys, this is good. They got the feed up.
All right, let's just shoot the rehearsal. Has anybody seen Mr. Fancy-Pants?" The director asked.

"Right here, you idiot"

"Ah, nickname, I love a nickname"

"It's not a nickname, Andy"

"It's not a nickname"

"You really are an idiot"

"All right"

"Copy that. On our way"

"Okay, we're shooting the rehearsal!"

"Stop with the bowing"

"Excuse me, sir. No, sir. No, I-"

"By the way, it's "action,""

"not "begin the acting"

"When you're right, you're right Action"

Then a car pulled up, two large feet walk on the set.

"Locking it up! Last looks, everybody. Last looks"

"Walking away. Walking away"

"Quiet, please And we're rolling"

"Rolling!"

"We're rolling!"

"You're cute"

"Thank you"

"Okay, you hate crime, and action!"

"Hold him right there, boys. Spider Weintraub.
As I live and breathe. You have the right to remain silent. You have the right to an attorney-"

"Excuse me, I'm sorry, but..." then Nancy disturbs the scene.

"What?"

Princess was hiding but pops her head out, "Nancy no!" She whispered not trying to get seen.

"I'm sorry. This just feels inauthentic"

"Feels what?"

"Well, the scene takes place in the '50s...

"...but you're reading Miranda to the suspect"

The director gets mad, "uh.,,Excuse me. Why in the name of sweet Christmas is this tiny person talking?"

Princess then walked away from the set as the director walks up.

"Well, reading of Miranda upon arrest wasn't law until '63. Is that right?"

"The scene is still delicious, either way. What's your name, hon?"

"Uh, Nancy Drew"

"I'm Bruce. All right, I'll tell you what, why
don't you direct the movie, Nancy Drew?"

"Oh, my God! Should we cut?"

"Listen, Nancy, would you consider, you know, directing this film? Because we can get rid of this guy in a second" the actor told her.

Then out of the blue appears a stranger in a suit.

"Well I think she would do a better job then what this manic could make with movies"

Tilting his hat down was mr. Shark with a mustache and a trench coat.

"Dad" Nancy turned to see princess running to shark"

"Princess"

And Nancy was shocked to see that princess dad was a giant shark.

It puzzled her when shark hugs princess and spins her around.

"A shark and a cat...can't can't be possible...can it...unless she's a adopted" she thought to herself as she approached them both.

"So...this is your dad?" Nancy asked.

Princess and shark smiles at each other, "I know we don't look alike but he is a great dad"

"Princess, who's your new friend" shark asked.

"Shark this is Nancy drew, the new girl form school"

"Detective shark...meet you miss drew" shark shakes her hand as he shows her his badge.

Nancy was bit shocked by him but tríes not to offend him.

"Is you Don't mind me asking mr. Shark? But What are you doing in the sets"

"Oh I'm just working on a case"

"Does the case involve: Delia decott"

She threw shark's guard off, he turns to her with his eyes open wide as he was escorting princess to the car.

Then a few minutes later, after shark took princess to bed, in the living room, he was talking to Nancy about Delia.

"What do you know about Delia" shark asked.

"nothing much but an X on her robe" Nancy hands him the picture.

"It's not an X. They're palm trees"

"What does that mean?"

"The insignia on her robe. It's Southern Pines.
California Hot Springs"

Then Nancy starts to think, "No. Twin Palms Bungalows and Spa"

"But There was a fire some 20 years ago and all the records were burned And on top of that,
I'm afraid the guest list is confidential"

"Oh" Nancy was disappointed.

"Where's the closest hospital?" She asked.

"What's You're business with Delia" shark ashes as he was getting suspicious.

"What is your business...how do you know Delia" Nancy asked.

"Delia was a good friend of mines...till the night she disappeared, I'm just trying to avenge her death, it's getting late, so you should be getting home"

"Good idea, tomorrow we'll be going to the hospital"

"Oh no, this case is too dangerous for a girl like"

"I'm a detective like you Mr. Shark"

"I'm sorry but I'm not going to let some premature teen on a dangerous mission, leave it to the professionals and the fact I'm a detective the best this city has you need to stay back and keep princess company"

But the next day, Nancy was with him...

She was at the hospital before him...

All the children born in one week 24 years ago?"

"Yes. Well, all the ones given up for adoption.
The birth mother, she may have left money for the child-"

"Hey!" But she jumped when she saw detective Shark storming up to her and pulling her away.

"I thought I told you to stay out of this" he muttered.

"Sorry but It's what i do, i can't leave this case hanging"

Nancy pulls herself away and back to the front desk.

"I'm sorry, but those records are sealed. Only a court order can open those records. And only by a child seeking a parent. Are you the child?"

"No."

"Hm"

"But, um, thank you, anyway"

Shark sees her pulling out a blonde, "what are you doing?" He asked.

"Relax i got this"

"Hm"

"Here's a blondie for your trouble"

"Did-? Did you make these?"

"No. Hannah, our housekeeper...back in River Heights, did She sent over a tin. She's a wonderful baker.

Shark facepalmed himself in disappointment and annoyance.

"It's so weird. My mother made these when I was a kid. I haven't had one in years. It's so perfectly moist. Come here-"

But he was shocked how Nancy handled it so well.

"The county recommends a pediatrician to new adoptive parents. The doctor's files aren't sealed. This might help"

"Thank you"

"And you didn't get that from me"

Macy rubbed it in shark's face, she assist him on his case.

"Ha. Twenty-four years ago. Wow, that is so long ago"

"Yes. It would have been a first appointment, a newborn. I know it seems a little "disorganisized" but I know where everything is"

"Ow" shark yelped as Nancy pushes the boxes off him.

"Right there. Here it is. There were two newborns that week No, make that three. Oh, but I don't think I can release any information.
Let me call headquarters Ha, ha, maybe that's them. Hello? Hey, girl. It's Jimmy"

While the day was distracted, shark took a quick picture of the information as Nancy was taking too long, Nancy looked at him in surprise while he looks back scorned.

"Oh, Jimmy. Yeah, no, I was looking
for it, then I found it. I found it. I did find it and it's-That's not it, but it's pink. And it wasn't-No, it wasn't where I thought it was-
I think it's yellow.- Because I put it somewhere else.Yeah. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. I'm gonna have to call you ba-I'm gonna have to call you back.
Ha. Nice try, squirt. Nice try"

She closed the book before Nancy could get anything down and now shark went to make some long calls.

"Hello, I'm looking for Jane Brighton.
Are you Jane Brighton? Are you Martine Dahlberg?"

"Yeah. Why?"

"I was just wondering, were you adopted?
Are you Susan Thabit?"

"Uh-huh"

"Were you adopted? Are you Martine Dahlberg?"

"Yes"

"Were you adopted?"

"Hello Can I help you? Sorry, no. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. Nah-uh. No. No. Nope. No...
No..."

Shark was getting exhausted till the last call.

"Hello? Um, is there a Jane Brighton here?"

"that depends on who's asking"

His hopes rises up...

"Were you adopted?"

"Yeah"

"Who are you?"
