"Like why do we have to like be the bait?" Shaggy said as Scooby nodded beside him.
"Because you two are the fastest." Velma said with a matter of fact smile.
"Like we're not doing it. Right Scoob?"
"How about for a Scooby Snack?" I said as pulled a container from my bag that had over a dozen Scooby Snacks in it and shook it. The two looked over at me and shook their heads. "Two Scooby Snacks?" They looked at one another then back at me then nodded. I popped open the lid and tossed them each two Scooby Snacks. The two then turned as headed out to find the monster.
"Come on guys," Fred started in the opposite direction as Scooby and Shaggy had. Velma and I followed him and helped set up the net. "Hey Daphne could you come hold this part of the rope? You'll pull it when I yell okay?"
"Sounds good Fred." I smiled at him patted him on the arm. He turned away and handed Velma a piece of rope then he went behind a pile of boxes. I glance up as I heard feet storming across the floor above us and knew that Shaggy and Scooby were on their way with the monster hot on their tails. I saw Velma duck down behind another pile of boxes then I followed suit. I heard the boys running down the stairs and turn left.
"Now!" Fred yelled and I pulled on the rope. There was a snarl and then I heard Velma cheer.
"We got him!" I hurried out of my hiding place and watched as Fred walked over to the net that was hanging in the center of the room with a werewolf caught in it.
"Alright let's see who this is." He pulled the mask off of the person in the net.
"Dr. Lee, just as we thought!" I said with a triumphant grin. "Time to call the Sheriff and let him know that we got our man!"
"Already done Daph, he's on his way. As you and Fred were setting up the trap I sent him a text letting him know that we would have his werewolf within the hour."
"Good idea Velma!"
"Like someone else is here!" Shaggy and Scooby dove behind a pile of boxes, a few seconds later the Sheriff came down the stairs.
"Hi Sheriff, want the wrap up?" Velma said as Fred lowered the net so that Dr. Lee could be arrested.
"Yes please."
"Dr. Lee was running short on funding and needed money. He knew the story of the old hidden treasure that is rumored to be down here. But what he didn't know was that the treasure wasn't money."
"It wasn't?"
"No," I cut in, "It was this painting."
"This signed Monet is worth $27,620,000." Velma said as we gently picked up the painting and showed it to the Sheriff.
"Are you sure?" They both stared at us as we nodded. "Wow."
"Like can we like go? Scoob and I are like starving."
"Yea gang let's go. Sheriff if you need anything or have anymore questions just call." We headed up the stairs and out to the Mystery Machine. Velma, Fred and I climbed into the front seat while Shaggy and Scooby climbed in the back. We hadn't even stopped the van before Scooby and Shaggy were out of the back of the van and inside the Pizza Palace. By the time we had parked and gotten into the restaurant the two of them had already cleaned out the buffet.
"Guys, calm down, if you eat that too fast they won't have time to make more!" Velma laughed. She hurried over to the counter to let the owner John know that we were here so that he could get as many pizza's out as quickly as they could.
"Nice job with the trap tonight Freddy." I said as I took his arm.
"Thanks Daphne, nice job finding that painting, I would have never known that it was worth so much." He said as he pulled me closer to him and we walked to where the guys were eating. I slid into the booth and Fred followed me in as Velma came back over with another pizza.
"John said that I should just bring this one over so that we could keep these two from eating out the restaurant!" We all laughed and took a slice before it disappeared before our eyes. Fred's phone started to ring, he pulled it from his pocket and glanced down at the caller ID.
"That's odd, it's the Sheriff. Hello?" He listened as the Sheriff talked then pulled the phone from his ear. "Do any of you know anything about counterfeit money?"
"Counterfeit money? No I didn't, Daphne?"
"Nope, and by the way those two haven't stopped inhaling the food I don't think they knew anything about it either. Right guys?"
"Right!"
"Well gang, looks like this mystery isn't over."
