Hey! Sorry for the delay but here's the next chapter! Only a short 1 today.
See chapter 1 for the disclaimer.
"Okay girls, do you know what you're doing?" Fred yelled up to the Velma. She nodded and Daphne yelled back over the walkie talkie.
"Sure do, Freddie!"
He nodded, taking to talk into the walkie-talkie in his hand. "Shaggy, Scooby, you in position?"
"Like all set Fred." Shaggy replied. "Like, you're sure this is safe, right?"
"Of course, when have any of my traps failed you before? Don't answer that." He hastily added. He heard Shaggy laugh.
"Like, I won't. Alright then, tell us when."
"Sure thing guys." Fred turned the talkie of before turning back around, he yelled and leapt backwards having come face to nose with Shaggy's dad. "Mr Rodgers. You almost gave me a heart attack!"
Shaggy's dads face broke out into a soft smile. "Like, sorry Fred. But let me get a couple of things clear…this trap…it won't, like, hurt my son will it?"
"No sweat, Mr Rodgers, we do this kinda thing all the time." Fred said breezily.
"I know which is why I'm, like, asking. Shaggy tells us about your adventures you know, how he's always bait…"
"That's because he's the fastest runner, sir."
"I know that. But he can't outrun everything, as you know. Like, my point is…is this trap safe?"
"If it works the way it's supposed to, then yes."
"Ad if it doesn't?"
"Then…maybe not so safe."
"Listen Jones…this better, like, not go wrong. If it does and he's hurt…then I hold you responsible."
"Understood, but everything will be fine, sir, trust me." Fred said, confidently. Mr Rodgers paused, before nodding and walking away. Fred breathed out in relief, truth be told he was a little intimidated by Shaggy's dad but at the same time understood the parental concern. His own parent's had practically had a heart attack the first time they found out what the gang were doing. He could only hope he hadn't lied.
"Erm, like, Fred." Shaggy's urgent voice snapped the leader to reality. "They're, like, coming."
"Okay then, action. GIRLS! PLAN IN MOTION, I REPEAT, PLAN IN MOTION!" The plan, as he always said, was simple. Shaggy and Scooby would lure the guys down to the basement, and then Velma would turn of the lights while Shaggy and Scooby hid behind some boxes. The guys would run into the net that was going to be hoisted up by Mr Rodgers and himself. Then Velma would switch the lights back on and he would use the walkie talkie to tell Daphne to bring the police in, who were currently waiting out of sight.
The plan went perfectly, much to Fred's relief and the Joey and Roy got hurled away, this time for good. "Curse you meddling kids! And you're little dog to!" Joey yelled as him and his brother were hauled away.
"You idiot! That's wizard of OZ!" Roy snapped back.
"Oh yeah…."
"Well, all's well that ends well." Daphne said brightly.
"Shall we, like, celebrate? With food?" Shaggy said hopefully.
"Do you never stop thinking of your stomach?" Velma groaned, however when Shaggy and Scooby turned the puppy-dog eyes on her she relented. "Fine."
"Like, let's pick up Suge on the way, I'm sure she'll, like, want to hear all about this…"
"Hey Fred." Shaggy's dad patted him on his back. "You, like, did well."
Fred felt his spirits lift, the plan had been a success and Shaggy was safe. He paused letting the realisation settle in for a few minutes before yelling after the retreating gang. "HEY! GUYS! WAIT UP!"
There will be a short epilogue to this.
