Scene 2

THE RAIN IS STILL BEATING DOWN WHEN THE MYSTERY MACHINE PULLS UP TO A TALL, DARK LIGHTHOUSE. A SINGLE BEAM OF LIGHT IS ROTATING AROUND FROM THE TOP OF THE BUILDING. THE KIDS HURRY OUT OF THE VAN AND UP TO THE DOOR. FREDDY KNOCKS ON THE DOOR. IT OPENS AND A MIDGET STARES UP AT THEM.

Midget: (HE SPEAKS IN A SOFT WHISPER.) May I help you?

Freddy: Uh, yeah, we're here to see Larry Lighter.

Velma: He's my cousin. I'm Velma Dinkly.

Midget: Right this way.

HE STEPS ASIDE AND ALLOWS THEM TO ENTER. THEY FOLLOW HIM INTO A REGULAR LOOKING ROOM THAT IS FURNISHED WITH A FEW PIECES OF FURNITURE, BUT NOTHING ELSE.

Shaggy: Like, this is one spooky place, huh, Scoob?

Scooby: Reah, rooky.

Midget: My name is Harley. If you'll just wait here a moment. I'll inform the master that you're here.

HE LEAVES THE ROOM THROUGH A SIDE DOOR.

Daphne: Boy, was he creepy or what?

Velma: I certainly don't remember him from my last visit.

Freddy: I wonder how he's connected with your cousin.

Shaggy: Hey, you guys, this sounds like a good angle. Why don't we just say Harley the Horrible did it and be done with it.

Scooby: Reah, Rarley.

Freddy: We're not even sure if something's happened yet, Scooby.

Velma: All Larry's letter said was that he needed me right away and it was okay for me to bring you guys along.

Daphne: That doesn't mean something's wrong.

Shaggy: Like, why else would he ask us to come immediately?

SUDDENLY HARLEY RETURNS.

Harley: The master will see you now. If you'll just follow me.
