"And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids and that dumb dog." Bob Granz said as he was pushed outside and into the police car, still wearing his gladiator costume.
"Thanks kids, you were a big help." A policeman said as he walked by.
"Great. There are reporters out there." Daphne said pointing through a broken window. The rest of the gang looked. Sure enough, there were a dozen reporters outside, all equipped with cameras and microphones.
"Like, do we have to go out there?" Shaggy whined. "It's like, just as scary as ghosts and all those other creepy things that jump out at you when you're walking past them."
"Oh. So you want to stay here in this creepy place?" Velma said, peeking out the window again.
"Couldn't we just sneak around the backyard?" Daphne went over to the door leading into the yard.
"Daph, remember, this isn't the good part of town. This happens to be the place where ninety-nine percent of crimes occur." Fred said. He seemed a little bit too worried. Fred had been acting weird lately. He was always doing little things for Daphne. She kept on having a feeling that he liked her.
"It's locked!" She exclaimed.
"Guess we're all going to face them." Fred said bravely.
Shaggy walked over to the door and opened it. "Like, here we go!" Reporters swarmed around the gang, pushing microphones into their faces.
"Mystery Inc. has just solved another case. Lets hear what their leader, Fred Jones has to say. Now Fred, what made Bob Granz haunt this house?"
"Bob had asked the owner of this house, Miss Garcia, if she was willing to sell this house for an extremely low amount of money. Bob had wanted to replace the house with a hotel to make money for all of his debts, but when Miss Garcia refused, he decided to come up with a legend of a gladiator to scare her off. When that didn't work, Bob chose to live out the legend." Fred smiled happily at all of the cameras, posing for pictures.
Velma leaned over towards Daphne, "If I didn't know him better, I'd say he was liking this."
"Come on Freddie, you've had your fun. Now lets go." Daphne gabbed Freds hand and pulled him away from the reporters and the growing crowd. The gang piled into the Mystery Machine and drove away.
"Rhat ras rose (That was close)!" Scooby said, coming up in the front of the van where Daphne, Fred and Velma were sitting.
"Like, where are we going?" Shaggy's head popped up from the back seat.
"We're going to our house." Velma told Shaggy.
"Like, I'm starved. When are we gonna eat?"
"Reah, ren rare re ronna reat( Yeah, when are we gonna eat)?"
"Fred, I'm hungry too." Daphne complained.
"Well, in that case, we can get pizza!" Fred said, parking at their house.
"Yeah!" Scooby and Shaggy cheered.
