Author´s Note: Taking my time but not quitting. We move on with Scoob and get a bit of a peek into Monsieur Noir´s strange world. And as for the baby, hehehehehehe. I´m going to keep on the embers for now. Poor Ricky has to resurrect Mr. E and Scooby is about to face all his foes all alone. Oh, dear! Song belongs to Trading Yesterday.
Let´s go!
3. Return to the Sender
11:00 A.M.
During these two years, Scooby has got into the work of Monsieur Noir, the mysterious "Man in Black". Velma once said that the Azimut took care of some of the biggest secrets on earth but M. Noir does more than that. The man himself is the line between order and chaos. His agents look into the most dangerous and thrilling missions there are and so, the Dane has been for two years getting to work with the most hard-working experts and always under the promise that he would never tell a soul about all this.
He has come to know a little bit more about Carusso, one of Shogun´s partners and the man who helped them out of Crystal Cove. Former guard in Steel Rock, with the longest shot in record, and brilliant agent, who often takes care of Trick Track Treck, Steel Rock´s earth complex, Ed is a cold man who never the less is proud of his work and hardly leaves a partner behind.
Due to his shooting record, many other agents have come snipers and often try to win it over but in the end, they always change their minds. One of them is Richard Cloud, who was in Crystal Cove during the nest chaos, a brilliant Australian fellow with a short career in the Balkans. Ethan Harries, a field agent and sharp man is his best rival but both of them get along great with Scoob, along with the bow master, Argos. Leo and "the French" (a.k.a Jean Dregder) are two strange characters as they are street wise and look more like two criminals, specially the French. Leo is all nerves but never misses a shot, a sniper who loves to sing to himself and tip with his fingers to calm himself.
There are other agents like Lina, a red-haired woman who´s real HOT and who ironically, is a vampire but a good one. Philippe Maraçsa, an invisible man of stealth hands; Sam Hookie "Bloody Fang", a living werewolf, and a long list with characters like the sassy Addie, Eddie-P and lots more like Shiva, Kay and some members of Scooby´s family like his cousin Spook. One would say "What the hell is Scooby doing with this people?" and he would answer "Rave rhe rworld".
Today he plays with Kay who makes snowballs he can fetch while Monsieur Noir and Ludwig Lasstrange, who he met at the hospital and happens to be a vampire lord and protector of supernatural creatures, along with other important people decide whether is time to get back to Crystal Cove.
During all this time, Scooby has prepared himself for this moment and he can hardly wait to save the gang.
"And time stands still beneath the air of waiting hours
To touch, just to feel a love that seems to overpower me
She's all I'll ever need
And you know her love just hypnotizes me
'Til All I see is beautiful
At night I dream that you were sent to me from heaven
My Life, it seems so lonely here without your presence
You could change my everyday
And I could never think of love without your name
As you remain.."
Kay plays with the large dog and they both chase down the autumn leaves while Mss Williams, a young black-haired woman of soft light black skin, reads poetry on a bench. The news from Crystal Cove aren´t good. Mayor Jones has unleashed many of the foes that the gang captured. Why? Nobody knows. Scooby knows that it will be up to him to catch them before he can start looking for his friends. That is why he is playing now, to forget for a while the dark task ahead.
"Beautiful- like the summer rain to wash away the winter stain
Beautiful- like the morning sun inviting the dawn to break
Beautiful- like the joy that comes when the love you've longed for has just begun
Beautiful- making everything brand new
Beautiful you
And all this time you're changing me to something better
A love so high that everyday that we're together
I will leave the world below
Until your heart becomes the only thing I know
All I know is..."
What has Pericles been doing this two years? Has he find any other disk pieces? There´s only one way to find it out as the door opens and Carusso walks to talk to him.
"Beautiful- like the summer rain to wash away the winter stain
Beautiful- like the morning sun inviting the dawn to break
Beautiful- like the joy that comes when the love you've longed for has just begun
Beautiful- making everything brand new
Beautiful you"
Hahahaha!
A nice chapter before we get into the flames.
Poor Scooby is going to into hell this time!
Will he make it?
