(Shaggy)

It had been a few weeks since the big announcement about Christina and I. Things were going really, really well. I would pull her away from work so we could spend time together but she didn't seem to mind it anymore. She would pass the work to Thorn who then would sit down with Draculaura and Sibella. They would have all the work done by the time Christina got back to her office much to her surprise. With no work to do she would come and watch as I trained agents. Sometimes she was even a willing volunteer when I needed to demonstrate something. Scooby seemed to like her too which was a relief.

Currently, we were seated in the dining hall for lunch. Above the chatter of everyone in the room I heard the door open and looked up in curiosity. It seemed everyone else was just as curious because they all turned their attention to the door as well. A woman entered. I swear I'd seen her before but not here. Where had I seen her? I watched as she rushed over to Christina. She was really, really excited about something.

"Christina," she cried "I found him!"

"Really?" Clawdeen asked scaring me out of my wits. How the heck had she gotten here so fast?

"Yes, Clawdeen but their moving him to a new prison in two days, someplace called the vault,"

Uh-oh. I heard about this place. An impenetrable prison. It was impossible to break in or more importantly out.

"Oh, no," I muttered drawing the attention of the others.

"I'm sorry, Shaggy this is Margaret Rosenblatt our best undercover agent, Margret this is Shaggy our newest recruit-"

"A former monster hunter, I've heard the rumors but I wasn't sure what to believe, welcome to the right side,"

Now I remembered. I'd seen Margret a few times at the hunter's headquarters. She had worked as a secretary, keeping track of missions and files on the inmates. That's how Christina got all the information she needed. I had been wondering where she got it from.

"Thanks, but who are you talking about?"

"My mate, Duncan, Son of the Kaiju King Belloc." Clawdeen sighed wistfully.

"THE KAIJU PRINCE IS YOUR BOYFRIEND?"

Clawdeen nodded happily.

I had heard about Duncan's capture a year ago. Van Hellscream knew of a rebellion and Duncan was being held to keep the other Kaiju from joining it. Although I had never actually seen Duncan I like everyone else had heard the stories. He had nearly broken out once leveling the prison he had been kept in and freeing the other inmates. I had been tasked with Catching them but I had never found them all. Now, I realize that they had come here. Because of what Duncan was capable of he had to be drugged and kept in a special cell. He was in fact, the very reason they were building the vault in the first place.

"He's also my son," Margret said.

I was sure Scooby had fainted by now if the thumping noise was any indication. Not that I could blame him.

"Okay, the best time to attempt a rescue is when they transport him I'll assemble a team," Christina said taking charge as she stood up.

"Great, I volunteer!" Clawdeen said excitedly but I could tell Christina was ready to object.

"Clawdeen you're to clo-" she started only to be cut off.

"He's my mate Christy, I am going besides, how would you feel if it were Shaggy being moved to that place?"

"Okay, okay, you can go but you Will follow my orders!"

"Yes, ma'am!"

"I could help," I offered quietly.

The others looked at me in surprise.

"What? I was on a few transfers in my early days, so I like, know the security protocols and procedures. I also like, know where the Vault is, so there are only two routes they could take." I said throwing my hands up in a defensive manner.

"Okay, let's go we've got planning to do," Christina said.

"Can I at least finish my sandwich first?"

"Bring it with you Shaggy,"

"Okay,"

…...

In the conference room, I gathered most of my agents and gave them the news. When I asked who would like to go Heath and Abby stepped forward and joined Clawdeen and Shaggy. With a team assembled we moved on to drawing out plans and preparing. I watched as Shaggy wheeled a white bored into the room. I was puzzled. What was he going to do with that?

"Okay, this is the prison Duncan is currently being held at and this is the Vault," Shaggy explained pointing to a few rough drawings of buildings.

He then drew a couple of lines before continuing.

"There are two ways to get there," he pointed to a straight line, this is the easiest way to get there but, this," he continued pointing to a zigzagging line "Is the alternate route they use as a backup now they'll have Duncan in an armoured truck where he will be drugged to sleep on the way there. The truck is escorted by a helicopter that will point out any obstacles,"

"So, we need to make sure they take the alternative route, where we can execute a rescue," I concluded.

"Yes, but how are we going to do that?" Shaggy asked in confusion.

I laughed at this.

"What?"

"You think I don't have more than one outside operative do you?"

"Huh?"

"I happen to know quite a few human families that would be willing to help stage a car wreck,"

"Is that-"

"Yes, that's why most of the prisoners are never found when they escape,"

"You are full of surprises Christina,"

"I know,"

…...


We worked long and hard making sure we were prepared that day. Margret had informed the families of what we needed and soon it was time to go.

"Come with us," Shaggy pleaded.

"Shaggy-"

"Please for me,"

Dang the puppy dog eyes he gave me. I gave in and soon reemerged from the base with my weapons strapped around my waist. It was a foreign feeling. I hadn't gone out in the field for a while.

"You could give Batgirl a run for her money," Shaggy joked.

I didn't respond as we embarked into the woods. We watched carefully from the side of the road, hidden by the trees and dense shadows. It wasn't very long before we heard the truck rumbling as it grew closer to us. My team looked at me and I gave the nod of approval.

It was time,"

…...

What happened next was mostly an adrenaline-fueled blur. We rushed out of the trees, Abby iced the road causing the truck to slam into the nearby trees. She froze the doors and kicked them open revealing Duncan slumped over. Heath rushed forward igniting his hands in flames, he tossed them at Duncan waking him up. With him awake the guards were history. Well, between him and Christina's sharpshooter skills. One by one the guards were out cold thanks to Duncan's brute force or the tranquilizer darts. Once they were all down I watched as Clawdeen reunited with her boyfriend. Tears were shed as they clung to each other but the sounds of the helicopter above cut their reunion short.

I wasted no time in pushing Christina ahead of me as we ran. I had to hurry but my legs were burning. One of the hunters emerged from the helicopter aiming her rifle at me.

"Freeze before I pump you full of silver," she warned.

Not good.

She wasn't lying either as she started firing.

"ZOINKS" I yelped as one bullet grazed my arm.

"Shaggy?"

I turned to the hunter seeing a familiar face. Velma.

"Yes, it's me," I called softly.

She stared, frozen in place.

"Go hurry up and go," she ordered.

I was very quick to run away.

…...


Back at the base, Christina was pulling the silver shards from my arm. I told her what had taken me so long and she seemed to think about it.

"Maybe, just maybe, your friend is more loyal to you than her job,"

"But if you were wrong and we brought her here she would expose us all,"

"Very true,

"So, now what?"

"I don't know Shaggy,"
