FancyShark

Joe takes a detonator out of his pocket. "I'll take care of Pete," he says and pushes the button.

Space Magic Flippant Sausage

lmao.

gellaho

Later, oh no! Pete!

FancyShark

But HOW!?

Space Magic Flippant Sausage

Pete, I feel like this is a pointless thing to do, but whatever.

gellaho

It's like the end of Die Hard, but stupid!

FancyShark

If Carl Winslow guns Pete down, this will all have been worth it

Tom, Boy Detective (Retired)

Thou shalt not suffer a Hardy's girlfriend to live

Space Magic Flippant Sausage

Hell yeah that means that Doyle is our Al Powell.

gellaho

Damn you random spectator for getting out of the way!

FancyShark

Thanks a lot, crowd

Tom, Boy Detective (Retired)

Joe deflects the bullet with his face

rooster

I wouldn't die for Joe Hardy

gellaho

Clearest example of Joe knowing he's unkillable

Space Magic Flippant Sausage

I mean........okay, approaching badass there Joe.

gellaho

JOE! SMAAAAAAASSSSSHHHH!

gellaho
FancyShark

"The gods themselves couldn't do it. Come, little man. Dash your ship against the rocks and be pulled into the abyss as so many before you already have."

Space Magic Flippant Sausage

Do it Frank. One to the head, two to the chest.

Tom, Boy Detective (Retired)

I do like the idea that when villains threaten the Hardys in front of a crowd it's just the opposite of a Spider-Man movie

GDC

Joe didn't stop until Pete's scar was a stain in the dirt.

Tom, Boy Detective (Retired)

"you mess with Hardy, I go the fuck away"

rooster

You mess with one of us that's ok with all of us

gellaho

The tentacles of the surf mafia are long

GDC

Tell her what happened to Callie, Joe.

FancyShark

Oop, hang on. Catlin just got shanked by a drug addict. Threat's over.

gellaho

Treason is pretty sleazy

FancyShark

All of them

gellaho

Iola

rooster

What happened to Nick? Did he die

Tom, Boy Detective (Retired)

Prison explicitly stopped Catlin getting what he wants. He wanted to be with his daughter and he couldn't because of prison

FancyShark

I hope this book ends with Doyle flying Catlin over a volcano before bailing out

gellaho

Frank suggests killing Jade

rooster

"Hell, I'll do it"

FancyShark

Frank is done playing around

Space Magic Flippant Sausage

"Or just........you know........witness protection or somethi............no sure thats good too Frank."

gellaho

Joe takes a lesson from Ja'Nette

Tom, Boy Detective (Retired)

Can't beat em, join em, I guess?

FancyShark

Frank shoots Connie

"Here is your corpse"

gellaho

It might be hard to remember Ja'Nette taught the false werewolf "Say what" considering she was butchered, but

rooster

99% exposition, 1% child murder

gellaho

I guess then Frank changes his idea so I don't know what the point of that was

Space Magic Flippant Sausage

"Lets do both." Frank said with an evil grin."

gellaho

Oh, that child murder went on for so long. It was like four pages

rooster

We can't save Jade, but we CAN get this guy killed afterwards

GDC

The Hardys are really into making this guy squirm.

FancyShark

Frank, I'm pretty sure the government is going to beat Gordon with rubber hoses for the treason alone

rooster

Also, there's probably more than one guy in the surf mafia, right?

GDC

Fenton's suitcases are filled with equipment made just for guys like Pete.

gellaho

It worked so well the last time

FancyShark

Each case is for a different body part

gellaho

Off to a bad start

FancyShark

Suddenly, a rogue wave smashes through the airport wall and kills Jade

rooster

jade and her father go on the road like The Littlest Hobo

gellaho

"This plot didn't really make sense, did it? Huh"

gellaho

I could have done without the word "tenderly," ghostwriter

GDC

This is the ghostwriter's way of saying 'look, I was on a deadline.'

Space Magic Flippant Sausage

She forgets Joe halfway thru the plane ride.

gellaho

Oh, so sad. I guess

gellaho
FancyShark

I mean, she was out of your league from the start, Joe. She had a pulse.

GDC

So does Joe, but that's because of the untreated head wound.

Space Magic Flippant Sausage

Its hard out there for boys made of sapient hamburger and their robot brothers.

gellaho

Wakka wakka

gellaho

The End

Space Magic Flippant Sausage

lol

FancyShark

hahaha

Space Magic Flippant Sausage

"Besides she looks very explodeable."

gellaho

We have defeated The Hardy Boys Casefiles ™️ #40: Fright Wave

GDC

Freeze frame, roll credits.

FancyShark

We did it!

rooster

Congratulations, everyone

FancyShark

Thank you as always, @gellaho !

Great work, everyone!

gellaho

That's a cover that never happened in the book, so that's a rarity

Space Magic Flippant Sausage

Yeee. Another of the Hardy Legions defeated and sealed.

GDC

Well done, everyone.

Tom, Boy Detective (Retired)

Oh yeah they never double surfed

GDC

Another book for the carceral library.

Tom, Boy Detective (Retired)

Also her swimsuit was less revealing than that

gellaho

So concludes the 136th Edition of The Book Cage

gellaho

May your knees never be broken by the surf mafia

FancyShark

Have a good night, everybody!
