Scooby Doo and The Court Case
Chapter 3: Clean Up Your Act
What was left of the gang were at home. Shaggy was crying in bed. He couldn't get the thought out of his head. Fred died. Daphne was incapacitated. Scooby was in the pound. And he was going to prison in two days. Velma was on her computer, researching. "Shaggy couldn't have done it. He's too nice of a person," said Velma to herself as she looked up Daphne's Android calendar. She had to find out where Shaggy was at all times. Just then, Shaggy's phone rang. He picked it up. it was Velma. "Shaggy, i have proof you didn't do it. Come to the park on West Street in ten minutes. I have good news," said Velma. Shaggy hung up and put on his shoes. He left the house and headed for the park.
Shaggy saw Velma already sitting on a bench with her laptop. He took a seat beside her. "Okay, what is the good news?" asked Shaggy. "Well, you didn't do it. I did some research and found you were with us all day. It couldn't have been you," answered Velma happily. "But-," said Shaggy. "But what? There is no 'buts' about it. You didn't do it," said Velma. "Come with me." "Where?" asked Shaggy. Velma didn't say a word, but instead ran to the subway.
On the subway, Shaggy was so eager to know where they were going. "Just tell me already," said Shaggy. "We're going to the police station," said Velma. "Why?" he asked. "You'll see," she said. They walked through the door of the station. They walked up to the possesion desk. "Mam, we were wondering if we could take a look at the Mystery Machine that was took in for evidence," said Velma to the desk lady. "Sure, you can also meet the president. Now, beat it," said the lady. "Okay, lets get this straight. We have been trying to clear Shaggy's name for two days. We have no car. We are tired. We are sick of tired of thius. Now let me in or there will be a new employe," said Velma who was fed up with being nice. the lady looked scared. She showed them the way and let them look at the van.
Velma opened the back hatch and climbed in. She looked around and found empty chip bags. "What happened back here?" she asked. She climbed to the front to find a buch of scrathes on the windshield. Most likely from the impact of hitting Daphne. "Well, you hit her pretty hard," she said. "It wasn't me," clamied Shaggy. "Well, whoever it was, they did hit her hard," she said. Just then, a man in an orange jumpsuit ran in the carlot. He looked a lot like Shaggy. He ran towards the Mystery Machine. Velma and Shaggy jumped in the back and ducked down. The man jumped in the front of the van. He had a screw driver with blood on it. He hotwired the car andf backed up. There was ten or twenty cops in front of the van now. he floored it and hit them. Some got out of the way. But not many.
Velma waited till they were at a stoplight, then she jumped up and wrapped her arm around the guy's neck. "Well, well, well. You found me. Guess you are medling kids after all," said the man. "Who are you? What are you doing in here, driving?" asked Velma. "Oh funny story. the dude that got arrested for the drugs in here was me. I hid my real self as Shaggy. That way I would get off the hook," said the man. "How did you end up in prison?" asked Shaggy. "I killed a clerk at the general store in town," said the man. "Name's Ben. Ben Henson." Just then, more cops came in cars to the van. They jumped out and ran towards the van. They opened the van and caught velma, Shaggy, and Ben in the Mystery Machine.
