Chapter three: No tears shed for the un-dead

Fred pushed the door open and the gang peered into the deserted Hospital. "I guess he's not here." Shaggy sighed, "Let's go!" Daphne dragged him and Scooby back inside. "Think of the sandwich Shaggy!" she said. Velma closed the door and locked it with a hairpin. "No one can get out now unless Velma unlocks it again" Fred grinned, patting shaggy on the back "Which is good because now we can focus on finding Dr Trembler. I say we could cover more ground if we split up! Daphne and I will search the patient's rooms, Velma, you go check the operating theatres and Shaggy and Scooby can."

"We'll check the canteen!" Shaggy butted in suddenly. Fred sighed and walked off with Daphne while Velma ventured bravely off towards the operating theatre, which she wasn't keen on anyway ghost or no ghost.

Shaggy and Scooby lumbered into the kitchen looking for food. Before long Scooby had opened the fridge and yelled "Rikes! Raggy look!" and Shaggy looked into the fridge and saw the hand hanging out of it. "Ha! Ha! Ha! That's nutin' Scoob!" he laughed, "This is just a see-through glove filled with goo. Hold on.Zoinks! A foot!" Shaggy picked the foot up and showed it to Scooby. The great Dane drew back. "Like, do you know anyone with see through socks Scooby?" Shaggy asked "Nuh uh" Scooby replied "Me neither. We better show this to Fred and the others"

Fred and Daphne came out of yet another room unsuccessful. "Gosh, not a clue any where!" Daphne sighed "What are we gonna do now Freddy?" "We best keep searchin' rooms" Fred replied "No! Wait! Look at that!" Fred pointed to a small guinea pig scurrying across the floor. "Cutie!" Daphne gasped "But what is it doing here?" Fred picked the little creature up off the floor. "The poor thing's been branded with the letters T.R" Fred observed, "I think we've found our first clue!" "But what could T.R mean?" Daphne pondered "Tennis racket? Teddy Roosevelt? Total Riot?" "Maybe if we find another thing with T.R we could be led to where this little creature came from!" Fred suggested

While meanwhile Velma looked desperately for the Doctor when SQUELCH! She stepped right into some blocks of plaster of Paris! "Oh no! This stuff is drying! Help somebody!" "We hear ya Velma!" Cried Shaggy and Scooby footing it down the corridor "But we're being chased by a Mutant Receptionist!" They both ran into the operating room and the mutant followed.

Inside Shaggy and Velma had quickly changed into Surgeons. "Excuse me! Do you mind? "Shaggy scolded the mutant "We have a very sick patient here!" "Yaaaoooooohhhh!" Scooby groaned from under blanket. The mutant sighed and sat down on the other side of the room.

"O.k then, scissors!" Shaggy called to the mutant who passed the implement to the beatnik. Then he called "Ice cream scoop!" and the receptionist passed one to Shaggy with a puzzled look. Shaggy started to pretend to operate on Scooby. "Should you use chlorophyll Dr Shaggy?" asked Velma "Sure thing, Velma. Pass me some chlorophyll Miss" Shaggy asked the mutant. She stood up and bumped into the shelf above her. Chlorphyll fell onto the floor with a smash! The mutant fell asleep! "Quick let's get out of here!" Shaggy yelled pushing Scooby out the room. "Shaggy wait for me!" Velma cried, clomping her plastered feet. Shaggy came wheeling back. "Hop on!" he said and wheeled them ALL out of the room.

Whizz! The gang flew down the corridor. "Zoinks!" Shaggy cried looking over his shoulder. "Now the witch doctor is following us!"
