Scooby Doo 3: Christmas Trouble

By Scooby Freak

Chapter 8- Busted

HI! Sorry for not updating for a while, homework really gets in the way. So, enough of my incoherent babbling, on to the story!


They stopped running.

"Now, meddling punks, you're not stopping me from ruining Coolsville and Christmas. My goal is to kill and destroy without you all butting in!" said Red Herring.

"Zoinks!" said Shaggy.

"Alright Herring, just stop this. You really don't want to go off killing. Do you?" Fred said.

"Oh, but I do want to go off killing." said Red, "And I'm starting with you!" He took out a weird looking gun and aimed it at Fred. He pulled the trigger and it hit him. Electricity went through Fred, he fell back.

"Fred!" said Daphne.

"Dad!" said the twins.

"Rikes!" said Scooby. Red Herring laughed evilly.

"Red! Stop this!" said Velma.

Red laughed, "You think I'm gonna give up when you say, 'Stop this'? Ha! I'm not that stupid!" Daphne and the twins ran up to Fred who was lying on the floor in agony.

"Like, dude you've gone to far! That's my pal you're trying to kill!" said Shaggy. Scooby growled.

"And you're going to stop me?" asked Red.

Daphne put her hand at the back of Fred's head.

"Freddy are you okay?" asked Daphne.

He looked weak.

"Yeah." said Fred in a weak voice.

"That guy shot you! I'm going to kill him!" said Tom.

"Don't think like that. Red Herring thinks like that. Killing is never the answer." said Fred, weakly.

"Dad, don't die." said James with tears ready to come out of his eyes.

"Kids, what's meant to happen, will happen. If I'm meant to live, I'll live. If I'm meant to die, well-" said Fred who didn't finish his sentence.

"You'll die?" asked Tom.

"Yeah." said Fred.

"But that can't happen!" said Tom.

"Freddy, I just can't imagine you dying either." said Daphne. She held on to him.

Daph, I'll always be here, you know that right?" said Fred. Even though he was weak, he was able to hold her.

"Oh how touching. A loving family. Too bad the father won't be living so long." said Red Herring. He pointed his gun at Fred.

"No!" said the gang and kids.

Before Red could shoot, something big, furry, and brown jumped on him and brought him down.

"Get away from me you meddling mutt!" said Red. He pushed Scooby away. He then looked at Shaggy, "Your dog is crazy!" Scooby tried to attack him and bite him again soRed started running. Scooby ran after him. Red ran in different halls, and he was looking back. He thought he had gotten away, but then he stopped running and was shocked by what was in front of him. A bunch of cops stood there, aiming their guns at them. Busted.

"Don't move!" said one of the cops.

"The cops! Like dude, thank goodness you came man!" said Shaggy, "How did you know we were here?"

"We saw your van in the forest and we thought we should investigate. Then we found this building." said one cop.

"Velma came, "This man has been trying to kill people."

"We know that." said a cop, "We've been searching for him."

"Red Herring you're under arrest for attempting to kill people." said another cop. They put handcuffs on him.

"Wait! Don't take me! NO! I would have gotten away with it if it weren't for you meddling punks and your dog too! I hope Fred dies!" said Red.

"Officer! Officer!" said James, he was running to the cops, "My Dad, he was shot! He was shot by Red Herring with some gun that shoots people with electricity! It can kill people!"

"Where's your Dad?" asked the officer.

"Come on, I'll show you!" said James. He started running.

The officer looked at another officer, "Call an ambulance." he said. He ran with James. Another cop came too.


I totally promise the next chapter will be the last. I'll update on Saturday or Sunday.
