Museum Monster Mayhem
Chapter 2
"Sorry for barging into your office, Mr. Curator, sir," Fred said, "but one of the statues from the mythology exhibit is missing!"
"What?!" the curator said in shock, "This is terrible! Did you see who stole it?"
"No one stole it," Daphne replied, "It ran away and was just chasing us!"
"That's ridiculous," the curator said, "Statues don't just run away!"
"I know it sounds crazy, but it really was chasing us! We all saw it!" Velma said, "We'll show you."
Everyone went back to the mythology exhibit and showed the curator the base the Dark Unicorn statue had been on. "It really is gone!" he said.
The two workers came over to them. "That statue moved on its own!" the male one said, "I saw its eyes begin to glow, and then it galloped out of the room!"
"Well, whatever happened, I think a crime has been committed here," the curator said.
"Don't worry, we'll get to the bottom of this mystery," Fred told him.
After the gang had left the room, Fred said, "All right, gang, let's split up and look for clues. Shag, Scooby, and I will search this side of the museum. Daphne, Velma, Chills, you three search the other side." Then they split up.
(Scooby, Shaggy, and Fred)
The boys looked in the rooms around the mythology room but found nothing unusual. "Well, nothing here, let's go see if the girls found anything," Shaggy started to walk away.
"Wait a minute, Shaggy," Fred said, "Let's get a closer look at the mythology room." So they all went into the room. "Let's see if there's anything in that storage closet," Fred said. He tried to open the closet, but it wouldn't open. "It's locked!" he said.
Shaggy looked around the room. "I don't see any clues in here, either!"
"But how could the person behind this monster leave no clues?" Fred wondered.
"Like, maybe the unicorn statue really did come to life!" Shaggy said.
(Daphne, Velma, and Chillers)
The girls looked around the other side of the museum but also found no clues. "Chee chee!" Chillers said. Not a single clue!
"I wonder if the guys are having any better luck than we are," Daphne said.
Suddenly Velma stopped. "Shh!" she said softly, "Someone's coming!" They all hid behind a large vase and watched the Dark Unicorn trot into the room. It stopped and looked around for a moment, then galloped away. "Something seems fishy about this Dark Unicorn," Velma said, "I think we should find the others and come up with a plan to catch it."
When everyone came back together, Fred said, "This doesn't make any sense. How can we solve this mystery without any clues? And how can we have any suspects?"
"The only people we've met at this museum are the curator and the two workers," Daphne said, "so they would have to be our suspects. But why would they want to frighten people away from the museum?"
Just then, the unicorn ran into the room. Everyone hid. As the unicorn ran by, Velma noticed a strange design on the bottom of its back left hoof. It looked like a circle between two points. "I think I've got this mystery just about solved!" she said.
