A/N: Sorry about not updating for a long time. I had so many projects for school and then I left home for the holidays. But I'm back now so here is chapter 7.

After leaving the police station the gang loaded into the tightly packed car and headed off toward the mall. Yes the mall. And yes it was Daphne's idea. But it wasn't for the reason you might think. Once they reached the mall Daphne purchased two black outfits for herself and Fred and a very short tight black leather dress for Velma as well as some cheap clothes that could be easily messed up for Shaggy.

"Ok so here's the plan, Velma you and Shaggy are going to go into Honolulu Lulu's wearing these clothes and try and blend in and you know get people to open up about Daniels or Mrs. Jones." Daphne said turning around to face the backseat of the car.

"Daph and I are going to sneak into the back and do some searching around for anything unusual or whatever." Fred continued pulling into the parking lot of a fast food restaurant. They got out and headed inside into the bathrooms and emerged looking quite different. Daphne had put very heavy eye make-up on Velma who was wearing the tight leather dress and high heeled boots.

"Gee Daphne do you think you could've made me look any more like a hooker?" She asked sarcastically wincing as Daphne finished putting on the bright red lipstick.

"Sorry Velma, next time I'll dress up ok?" Daphne smiled and pulled her black sweater over her head. Aside from that she had on black leggings and flats. Freddie had on a black sweat suit and Shaggy was wearing ripped up jeans and a tank top with lots of stains and holes as well as brand new basketball shoes which he begged Daphne to buy him or else he said he wasn't going to take part in the plan. Scooby had begged off and was to stay in the car and get help if something happened. Daphne hoped nothing would happen.

Once they reached Honolulu Lulu's Daphne and Fred headed around back and Shaggy and Velma walked right on in like they owned the place.

"Freddie, a little help here." Daphne whispered as she gripped the top of the window sill with her perfectly manicured nails.

"Oh sorry Daph." he whispered back as he grasped her hands and pulled her through the window.

"Ahhh!" She shrieked as Fred lost his balance and they both tumbled down on top of the couch. They landed Daphne smack on top of Fred, her lips in his hair. "Wow!" was all she managed to get out before laughing hysterically. Pretty soon Fred joined in and they stayed like that for at least five minutes.

"Ok Daph come on we gotta find something." Fred muttered pulling him self up off the couch.

"Haha ok but think of what a sight we must have been." she giggled trying to fix her hair in a dingy mirror that was hanging above the couch.

"Yeah, I hope this place doesn't have a security camera." he said pulling open drawers in the small kitchenette. "Wait look at this." he whispered urgently.

"What?" Daphne hurried over. Fred held up a tiny notebook, carefully he opened it, and inside the notebook were what seemed to be thousands of diary entries dating from as long as five years ago until about a week ago. "Ugh unfortunately whoever wrote this never signed their entries." Daphne grumbled wiping some dust off the cover of the book.

She gasped, under the dust was a monogrammed name—Nina.

Fred's eyes got wide when he realized he was holding his mom's journal and he began to open it to read some of it but then Daphne grabbed the book and stuffed it in her pocket. "Daphne what are you doing?" he said angrily. She put her hand over his mouth and motioned toward the door. The sound of footsteps echoed down the hallway just outside the closed and hopefully locked door.

Daphne and Fred dove behind the couch and held their breath frantically coming up with plans on how to talk their way out of this one. The doorknob slowly turned and into the room stepped none other than Jerry Daniels and behind him was a woman.
