CHPT: 2 The Doo Father
Shaggy Rogers first got the message on his phone about Scrappy's death from his local buddy, Detective Beau Neville, while he was watching "All Dogs Go to Heaven."
"Like, this is kind of ironic," thought Shaggy.
He wasn't ready to break the news to the gang, with the wedding of Daphne and Fred and all. It was suppose to be their special weekend.
The whole reason of the wedding in Miami was for no mysteries. But they didn't suspect that one of their own would be dead and they'd have another mystery to solve.
Although, Shaggy knew it was a bad idea from the start to go to Florida, he couldn't let his best friend down. Also being the best man was no help either. He knew the drug lords would pick up on his whereabouts, and would kill him unless he paid off his debt. In order to make things right he would need to do this on his own. Shaggy rifled through his suitcase and found his pistol and rounds of magazines.
Digging a little deeper in the pack he found Scooby Snacks. "Zoinks, Like I got to leave you out on this one, buddy," Shaggy choked back the tears as he put the box of snacks on the room's wooden counter. He wrote down on a note explaining what had happened to Scrappy, but decided to leave them out on the reason why he most likely died.
"The less they know the better," Shaggy said as he walked out the hotel room door.
