The hotel was starting to get to the gang. Creaky doors,broken furniture. How was this place still in operation? They had found some clues. Footprints,Plans for a new office building but no suspects. That was when Fred had decided it was time to split up. Fred in the girls would explore upstairs. Shaggy and Scooby would explore downstairs..

"Let's find the kitchen" Shaggy suggested.

"Yeah" Scooby agreed.

So that's what they did. When they found it they set to work on one of their crazy ideas.

"Scooby would you hand me the salt?" Shaggy said without turning.

"Here"

"Thanks buddy"

"Uh Shaggy?"

"Yes?"

"Turn around"

Shaggy turned around and came face to face with a red eyed,drooling vampire who looked ready for a bite to eat. Shaggy gulped and proceeded to try to run only to be grabbed by the beast who lifted Shaggy off the ground.

"Can't we talk about this?" Shaggy asked.

The monster brought himself closer to Shaggy's neck.

"Like I guess not"

Scooby was shaking as was Shaggy. He couldn't believe this was happening to him. He closed his eyes trying to think of an escape. Then he was on the ground. Confused Shaggy opened his eyes. The "Vampire" was knocked out cold against a wall with Scooby sitting on it to keep it in place.

"Scooby what did you do?" Shaggy asked his friend.

"I didn't do it she did" Scooby replied as Shaggy stood up.

"Who?"

"Me"

Shaggy spun around and saw the hooded girl from their last mystery. Her face was covered again by her hood but Shaggy could see a few strands of black hair peeking out.

.

"How did you know we were here?" he asked.

"Lucky guess" the girl replied.

"Lucky guess indeed" Shaggy agreed.

"Shaggy, Scooby where are you guys?" came Fred's voice.

"In here" Shaggy called turning away.

When he turned back the girl was gone,

"Scooby where'd she go?"

"I don 't know" Scooby replied just as confused as Shaggy.

"She was just here" Shaggy said scratching his head.

"Who was here?" Fred asked as he in the girls arrived.

"That girl"

"What girl?" Velma asked.

"The girl that saved us last night she was here and now she's gone" Shaggy explaained.

"What was she doing here?"

"I have no idea"

"Well come on Velma solved the mystery"

"That's great but what do we do with him?" Shaggy asked pointing to the vampire who was still out cold.

"Tie him up until later" Velma suggested.

"I'll get the rope" Fred declared.

…...

Later.

"And after the Tyson brothers hid the money they asked their friends to help them scare the hotel guests away so they could come back for it" Velma explained to the officers.

"And we would've gotten away with it to if it weren't for you meddling kids and that dumb dog"

While the crooks were being hauled off Shaggy's mind was elsewhere. There was something about that girl that was familiar but he couldn't place it. It was like he should remember her but why? Any noticeable features were concealed by her hood. The only things he knew were she was a female and she had black hair. Not very helpful information. There were lots of black haired females. Maybe his friends could help. Shaggy made a mental note to ask as they climbed into the van and headed to the diner to celebrate. They never noticed the girl watching them leave before getting on a red bicyle and peddling into the alleyway .

Review please.
