Scooby Doo and The Court Case
Chapter 2: Interview In The Barn
"You have got to be kidding me," said Fred. "You just had to get arrested." "I told you guys, it wasn't me," claimed Shaggy. "You're so high on dope it isn't funny," snapped Velma. "Let's not jump to conclusions. Maybe Shaggy really didn't do it," said Fred. "Maybe? I didn't do it. I wasn't even in the Mystery Machine at all that night," said Shaggy. "Okay, we will have to start from the beginning of the day," said Velma. "What do you mean?" asked Fred. "We'll retrace our steps from the beginning of that day," answered Velma.
The gang was walking down the street. The Mystery Machine was took in for evidence by the police. "Where are we going first?" asked Shaggy. "The old barn in the mountains," said Velma. "I am not climbing that stupid mountain to the top to talk to some old creeper pedo," refused Shaggy. "Fine, then go back to prison. That's where you can die," snapped Fred. Shaggy didn't say another word, but instead walked up the mountain to the barn.
The barn was old and worn down. It had red paint that was wearng off. An old man in green overalls was raking leaves in front of the barn. The gang walked up to him. "Fancy seeing you kids here again," said the man. "Mr. Lingly, we were wandering if you knew where Shaggy here was last Friday," said Velma. "Uh, I'm guessing with you guys," said Mr. Lingly. "Well, that doesn't help. We mean around midnight or one in the morning," said Fred. "Why should I know. I ain't the kid. Why don't you ask him," said Mr. Lingly. "I was acused of drug possesion and abuse and other crap," said Shaggy. "What! You dope heads get off my farm. I'll call the cops! Get, scram, idgit!" shouted Mr. Lingly. The gang ran for it. Fred was runnign so fast that he tripped on a rock and fell all the way down the mountain. Velma and Shaggy found him at the bottom.
Later at the hospital, Fred lie asleep in the hospital bed. "It's all my fault," cried Shaggy. Velma patted his back. "Don't beat yourself up. Anyone could have tripped on a rock." Just then, the doctor walked in. "Velma, Shaggy, I have some bad news. You have to choose," said the doctor. "Choose what?" asked Shaggy. "There isn't anything else we can do. Fred Jones is going to die. You can give him two days or unplug it now. You need to choose," explained the doctor. Velma and Shaggy talked and concluded to one thing. They didn't want to see Fred suffer. Shaggy walked over to Fred, bent down, and cried as he unplugged his monitor. The heart monitor stopped. Fred Jones died in front of Velma and Shaggy. (During all this, Scooby was in the pound. he wasn't gonna be let go until the case was closed officially.)
