A/N: Hey! Here is chapter 7. I'm gonna try and wrap this story up soon in 1 or 2 more chapters so I can start another. Enjoy!
The door knob turned and feet stepped in. Connected to the feet were legs clad in white Navy uniform pants. Velma looked up and saw guy about 35 years old with many awards and insignia pinned on his white jacket and carrying a Navy cover. (Hat) Shaggy and Scooby trembled and hugged each other.
"What are you kids in here for?" the man asked his voice was brisk but kind.
"Like well um like um…." Shaggy stuttered looking at the ground.
"If you can get the video cameras working again then you'll see but our friends are in terrible danger, there's a killer in here, sir, with a gun!" Velma explained.
"Really, in this building, a gun?" the man asked his face white. He flipped a few switches and the alarm silenced. Then he began to fiddle with a lever.
"Yes, sir" Velma said and began to explain the whole story, leaving out the part about how they wanted to solve the security case.
"So, I'll put out an alert for a young teenage blonde boy and a slender redhead the same age?" The man asked after Velma was finished.
"Yes sir." She said in her quiet pulled together manner.
"Like are we going to find them?" Shaggy whimpered hugging Scooby who was sniffling.
"We'll try our best son, we'll try our best." The man who happened to be named Colonel Anderson said as he picked up the phone on the desk.
--Meanwhile in Mr. Jones' Meeting—
The phone rang and one of the many Navy personnel in the room picked it up. "Um Jones it's for you." She said with a grim look on her face. She mouthed "Sorry" as she handed him the phone.
Bill Jones' heart skipped a beat—it was about the kids—he knew it. His palms were sweaty as he took the receiver and said "Hello." The conversation was short and when it was over Bill was almost in tears. He had lost his wife already—if he lost Fred it would be too much. He left the meeting in a hurry and sped over to the building where Shaggy, Velma, and Scooby were waiting with Colonel Anderson.
"Thank God you kids are ok." Bill Jones exclaimed as he ran over to them. He looked at Colonel Anderson and said "Thanks for keeping an eye on these 3 um is there anything else I should know about Fred & Daphne?"
"Not that I know of right now sir, um but you want to come with me and talk to security?" Anderson asked.
"Sure…. You guys stay here, ok?" he said to the kids and walked down the hall.
--Fred's POV—
I was so mad, I wanted to kill this guy and throw him in the dumpster we had just passed. You might expect me to be scared but NO I wasn't. I was mad at this guy—I wish he'd have just taken me and not Daphne, she hasn't stopped crying, I wish I could help her but I feel helpless. I think I remember hearing one time on some dumb talk show that nothing makes you feel weaker or more helpless than seeing a woman you care about cry—now I know that it's true. You might not describe me as in love with Daphne and you might not describe her as a woman but that quote somehow came dashing back into my brain. I turned around and looked at her and mouthed "Its ok, we're gonna live" then I noticed the guy with the gun pointed at our backs—ok maybe I was scared—but only a little.
--Daphne's POV--
I felt awful crying in front of Freddie like this but I was terrified. I knew that I should compose myself but then what ifs started flying through my brain—what if we are shot, what if we never see our parents or anyone again, what if only Freddie is shot, oh my god….stop stop thinking like that. My brain was like a rollercoaster ride. I wiped my face on my sleeves then tried to act brave—like, like um like wonder woman or like my dad—the bravest man I know. Then I heard the scariest sound ever—the guy cocking his gun.
--Normal POV—
The kidnapper cocked his gun and pointed it at Daphne. "Alright, missy, shut up, or else you're a goner!" he said in an evil tone.
Daphne gasped and hugged Fred—she had to hug someone she just couldn't be strong enough on her own. "Hey, you're scaring her!" Fred said not believing how his own voice sounded.
"Oh am I gonna have to shoot you too, Jones." the man said grinning evilly.
"How does he know my name, how does he know my name…" Fred's brain went in circles.
"Your mom was a damn fine sailor son and you know what she could have been mine—Vietnam" he said.
"WHAT?!" Fred said shocked he knew that his mother would never have an affair on deployment and that she loved his dad.
Daphne could tell the man was breaking down under pressure and emotional strain. She seized the moment and aimed for his hand with the gun with her purple baby heel. The shoe made direct contact with the gun sending it clattering across the concrete.
Fred gasped and trembled as he thought of what the man would do. The kidnapper reached in his pocket pulled out, another gun, cocked it, and put his finger on the trigger as he aimed it at Daphne.
"Ok girl you just bought a 1 one ticket to painful death." he murmured.
"NO!" Fred screamed jumping in front of Daphne pinning her to the wall. "You're gonna have to shoot me!"
