It was 6:00 am in the morning, both Louis and Tanya were asleep, suddenly, a shadow opened the window to Louis's house and crept over Louis's bed.
They put their paw to Louis's mouth as he suddenly woke up.
"Where were you? I waited like, forever," Louis asked with a yawn.
"Sorry, it took her forever to fall asleep I had to wait awhile," Scooby explained.
"It's understandable," Louis whispered.
"You ready to leave your Grand Mother's house for a few days," Scooby wondered.
"Ready as I'll ever be," Louis mumbled still sleepy.
Scooby put Louis on his back and had him hold on to his neck, Louis was so tired he fell asleep just being on Scooby's back and holding onto his neck.
Shaggy came into Louis's room grabbed the wheel chair, left the room and then the scene.
Scooby jumped back down the window and him and Louis fled the scene, Scooby took him to him and Shaggy's place and had him lay there in a guest bed room.
During that night a teenage boy was getting pulled over by a cop.
The teenager looked in the mirror to see the cop coming and sat up straight.
"Do you realize you were speeding?" The cop interrogated.
"Yes, yes, I do Officer," the teenager replied.
"Okay, as long as you know, on your way then, drive safely," The officer answered.
All of a sudden a truck zoomed passed the car and the officer.
The cop got back on his motorcycle and drove after it.
"Alright you, pull over," The cop ordered.
The cop continued looking at it and heard strange noises.
"Ex c-cuse me, are you aware that you are speeding," The cop warned.
The truck moved from beside him to behind him.
The cop freaked out and went faster as the truck chased after him.
As the truck hit the motorcycle's bumper the cop lost control, and fell off the side of the road as the motorcycle dropped into the sea, the cop grabbed hold of a branch.
As for the ghost truck, it disappeared in a thundering cloud as the fog itself also disappeared.
The next day the Mystery Machine was parked outside City Hall.
"Thanks for coming along gang, I really need the support, it's never a good thing, when my dad asks me to meet at his office," Fred thanked.
"Like, dude, no problemo," Shaggy assured.
"Yeah, no problemo," Scooby repeated.
"Too bad, Daphne couldn't make it, trust me, she'd love to be here for you if she could," Velma mentioned.
"Yeah, she wouldn't miss it for the world," Louis stated.
"Neither would you," Scooby added.
"Right neither would I," Louis agreed.
As Mayor Jones exited the room and entered the hall.
"Ah, Fred, my boy, today is a very exciting day for you because today you learn the family business, politics," Fred explained.
"Politics," Fred repeated.
"Blech, politics, who needs it? no offense," Louis commented.
"Yeah, who needs it?" Scooby also said.
"Offense taken," Mayor Jones responded.
"Dad, that's adult stuff, you know kids my age are into traps and solving mysteries," Fred informed.
'No, they're not, son, you're going to learn all the vital things I do for this community, like, create pamphlets, strategize about new places to put parking meters," Mayor Jones disagreed.
"I know a place to put a parking meter," Velma whispered to the other three.
"Ooh, where?" Louis wondered.
"Fine, what do you want me to do to help? Fred asked.
"Help me get re-elected as mayor, make 40,000 copies of this campaign pamphlet " Mayor Jones commanded.
Fred took it and looked at it.
Meanwhile Daphne was sewing Fred a new ascot at her house humming.
"Fred, is just going to adore this new ascot," Daphne mentioned to herself looking at it to make sure it was perfect.
"Darling, could you come downstairs, there's someone your mother and I would like for you to meet," Barty Blake requested.
Daphne walked down the stairs to see the man looking at the window.
"I'd like you to meet, Rung Ladderton, heir to the Ladderton ladder company," Nan informed.
"Um, hello, nice to meet you," Daphne greeted politely.
"Yes, yes it is, that's just a promotional pendant I like to hand out," Rung Ladderton explained shaking her hand and slipping it into her hand.
"Oh, thanks but I already have a pendant," Daphne warned showing it to him.
"Anyway, give me a jingle and we'll plan a magical night on the town, oh yeah, the life of the seventh regional ladder manufacturer, never stops, sorry, but I gotta, Rung," Ladderton excused.
Nan laughed pretentiously as she said,"Rung," in between laughs.
Nan chuckled as she intertwined her fingers in enjoyment.
"Oh my gosh, he is just perfect for you, pumpkin," Barty stated.
"Wait, are you trying to set me up with him? What about Fred?" Daphne questioned with disgust.
"You're just friends, right?" Barty reminded her of their friend zone.
"Well yeah, but we're really good friends and I don't know it feels like cheating, on a friend," Daphne mentioned.
"Darling, think of it like trying a new cut of meat, Why have ground beef? When you can have a nice prime rib," Nan teased.
"But I don't even like meat, I like vegetables, like Fred," Daphne sighed.
"All were asking you to do, dear, is give Rung a chance," Barty requested.
Meanwhile back at City Hall.
"Don't worry, Freddy, we'll get your dad elected again and you'll be back to solving mysteries in no time," Shaggy reassured.
"Yeah, Vote for Fred Senior, Vote for Fred Senior," Scooby shouted.
Scooby grabbed the pamphlet with his mouth, and put it in the copier.
Scooby started pressing all the buttons on the copier as it began to short circuit and smoke fumed out of it.
"Uh, maybe we shouldn't have had Scooby do it," Louis commented.
"Take Cover!!!" Velma shouted out.
As they ran behind the couch to take cover.
As it exploded.
"Great, now we owe the Mayor a new copier, Good job, Scooby," Louis mentioned sarcastically.
"Sorry," Scooby replied.
"Look what you've done to my new suit," a sudden voice whined.
As the gang screamed seeing who the man was.
"Oops, would you take a hug as a sorry?" Louis asked.
The man was extremely angry and just brushed the ink off.
"Uh, Vote for Fred Senior," Scooby suggested showing him the pamphlet.
"What's the problem here? Avocados," Mayor Jones wondered.
"That's Avacados, and if you want to run a dirty campaign, two can play at that game," Avacados corrected storming off.
"Gee, Dad, who was that guy?" Fred inquired.
"George Avocados, the person I'm running against, he considers himself a shoe-in for the job because his father, Theodore Avocados, was mayor once until he was caught stealing a priceless diamond from Crystal Cove Bank," Mayor Jones eludicated.
"Wow, talk about an evil Mayor," Louis added.
"Jinkies, what happened?" Velma interrogated.
"The diamond was never found but Theodore went to Jail, George has claimed his Father's innocence ever since," Mayor Jones answered.
Later after they left City Hall and picked up Daphne, they were driving through town.
"We sure missed you today, Daph, everything okay at home? Fred brought up.
"Sure, yeah, of course, that's a weird question," Daphne responded panicking.
Fred and Velma looked at her strangely.
"Are you okay? Daphne, you seem different, everything good?" Louis wondered.
"Of Course I am," Daphne replied.
"Oh boy, after all that campaigning I can't wait to dig into a triple clam pizza at the clam cabin," Shaggy stated.
"Yeah, I'm with you, Shaggy," Scooby agreed licking his lips.
"I should have seen that one coming," Louis whispered to himself.
"I agree with you, bro, I should have seen it coming," Velma mumbled to Louis.
The Mystery Machine drove up to the Clam Cabin, they all got out Scooby dashed past Shaggy and Velma as they spinned out of control.
Scooby and Louis walked up to the door to the Clam Cabin and saw a missing door knob.
"Hey, there's no door knob," Scooby and Louis informed.
"Oh, now we can't get in,oh boy, like, my stomach gets very grumpy when I don't feed it," Shaggy complained holding on to his stomach as it growled.
"We be all closed, someone stole me Crystal Door knob just like that clam that stole me nose," the owner Skipper Shelton notified walking away from the door.
As the gang looked at each other and looked back at the door.
"Yikes, that poor man," Louis said.
"That's kind of weird, who'd want to steal door knobs," Fred stated.
"You know Shag, I have plenty of food back at my place," Velma warned.
Scooby came up to them and opened his mouth sticking his tongue out.
"I don't think that's necessary, you've got ink on your tongue,Scooby," Louis wondered.
"Yep," Scooby answered.
Velma didn't hear a thing and awaited Shaggy's answer.
"Um, like, thanks Velma, but Scooby-Doo had his tongue tattooed with a map of every single pizza joint in town, as you see we've got it covered," Shaggy explained.
As Shaggy pulled Scooby's tongue down and then up as he rolled it back up and drool came onto Velma and Louis.
"Yeah, in drool," Velma added.
"Aw, man, I'm covered in drool," Louis complained.
Scooby went over to Louis and licked his face.
"Is that better?" Scooby asked.
"No but I enjoyed it, now to get that tattoo of your pink adorable tongue," Louis answered.
"Okay," Scooby agreed.
Later after getting something to eat the gang was driving on the road.
"You know, I heard someone stole all the Crystal door knobs at school," Daphne mentioned.
"My Mom and Dad said they were missing at the Haunted Museum too," Velma said.
"My Grand Mother too, but she is still kind of upset about me and Scooby sneaking out of my house" Louis explained.
Suddenly the Ghost truck appeared out of the fog and came after them.
"Someone should tell that crazy man driving that truck to dial it back," Velma suggested.
As the Ghost Truck hit the Mystery Machine's bumper making the gang scream and Shaggy, Scooby, and Louis fall to the ground.
The Mystery Machine's back doors open and Shaggy shouted," Like, Zoinks."
As the Truck honked again.
Fred drove off the interstate and onto the other road as the Ghost Truck followed.
The Mystery Machine took a another Sharp turn leaning on the edge as they kept moving.
Fred got it back onto the road and looked back.
Shaggy, Scooby, and Louis looked back as they saw the ghost truck approach as the three of them shouted warning the others that it was there,
The truck rammed into them again and again as the gang continued screaming, the Mystery Machine drove off the road.
The Whole Gang screamed as loud as they could as Velma opened her eyes and told the others," Guys, We're not falling anymore."
"Jeez, talk about a lucky break," Fred mentioned.
" That was the scariest encounter we've had yet," Louis warned.
All of a sudden they heard the honk of the Ghost Truck getting closer and closer.
"Not that lucky," Daphne corrected.
As the Mystery Machine drove out of the turnoff and back onto the road.
As the Ghost Truck followed close behind.
The truck honked again as they headed into the tunnel, the truck attempted again and again trying to get them but missing.
Fred drove the Mystery Machine off the road and onto the grass as the ghost truck went back into the thundering fog and disappeared.
Scooby, Louis and Shaggy let out a sigh of a relief as they looked at each other glad to be alive.
"It was huge, and it had flaming tires and when it went honk and then it went that way and then it went that way and then it went poof," Scooby panicked stammering and explaining the situation to the Sheriff.
"So you're saying this Ghost Truck disappeared, okay uh, Ghost Truck?" Sheriff Stone asked.
"Yep, that's pretty much it, Scooby said.
"We- heh-well, looks like you kids might have stumbled onto a new tourist attraction," Sheriif Stone stated.
"Tourist Attraction, it almost dumped us into the Cove, Shaggy shouted.
"Besides, we're not really sure it was a ghost," Velma warned.
"I'm sorry, but didn't you say there was no driver, that's textbook, Ghost Truck, case closed," Sheriff Stone said disagreeing.
"Uh, remote controlled truck," Louis added. The Sheriff glared at him and walked off.
"Hey, where's Fred?" Daphne wondered.
"Over here, I think I found something," Fred answered on his knees pointing to a clue.
"Daphne, let me borrow your camera phone Fred ordered.
Daphne smiled and gave it to him as they all payed close attention to what he was doing.
"Yep, the phone's low-res camera brightened the contrast, see what I see gang," Fred explained holding the phone to them.
The gang looked closer to the phone.
"Tire tracks," The gang all announced at once.
"What kind of ghost truck leaves tire tracks?" Shaggy asked.
"No ghost truck would," Louis stated.
"Yeah, add to that a bunch of missing Crystal door knobs and we've got one seriously weird mystery on our hands," Velma added.
Suddenly Daphne's phone rang.
"Hello,Daphne's phone," Fred said.
"Hey, Daphne, Rung here, yeah, must've missed your call, anyway, our date is on for tomorrow night at The Bloody Stake," Rung excused.
"Well, um, uh," Daphne tried to say but was completely tongue tied.
"Please contain your excitement okay, I'll see you there," Rung mentioned hanging up.
"Freddy, I can explain," Daphne informed.
"Oh no need, this Rung guy, sounds really cool and fun too," Fred interrupted not having a problem.
"What, I mean you want me to go," Daphne shouted and corrected herself.
"Of course, I love the bloody stake make sure to get the Vlad the Impaler curse chicken and rice, it's to die," Fred suggested.
Louis looked at Fred and did a facepalm.
The next day back at City Hall.
"Check it out, the doorknobs are missing here too," Fred said.
"Typical," A familiar voice commented.
As the whole gang screamed.
"I assure you, there will be no shortage of door knobs when George Avacados is Mayor, missing door knobs mean angry voters," Avacados stated as he left laughing evily.
Shaggy shivered as he said,"That Avocados guy gives me the creeps."
"You mean Avacados," Louis corrected.
"Creeps, Creeps, where are the creeps," Scooby yelled in fear jumping onto Shaggy.
"Don't worry, Scooby, it was just a figure of speech," Louis informed.
"I don't know maybe Scooby's onto something after all it's avocados who benefits from the missing door knobs," Velma notified.
"Good point, maybe it's time we set a trap for the Crystal Cove knob stealer," Fred added.
Fred set all the traps together at City Hall.
"Too bad Daphne, missed all the fun setting up all these traps," Velma brought up.
"Yeah, but I bet she's having a great time on her date," Fred replied.
" I don't think she is," Louis whispered to Scooby.
Suddenly Fred's phone went off.
It was Angel Dynamite.
"We got some news baby, the tires that made treads on the highway were only sold to two people in Crystal Cove Jean G. Nurno Treddal and George Avocados," Angel read.
"I knew it, anyone with hair that perfect has to be guilty of something," Velma shouted.
"So if George Avocados is the ghost trucker, which means the ghost trucker and the Knob Stealer are related," Fred said.
"But we need proof," Louis reminded.
"Like, they're cousins," Shaggy guessed.
"Like, they're the same person," Velma answered.
All of a sudden they heard a man scream.
"Screaming Pandas, Fred, what is the meaning of this?" Mayor Jones demanded to know.
"Dad, we think George Avocados is the Ghost Trucker and he's trying to sabotage your re-election," Fred warned.
"That's completely absurd, why would a ghost drive a truck when everyone knows they can fly, especially an 18 wheeler, those require a Class 6 license," Mayor Jones complained.
"But Dad," Fred excused.
"I don't wanna hear anymore nonsense, Fred, clearly you and your friends have let your imaginations get the best of you," Mayor Jones interrupted.
"Uh, we're not all friends Me and Louis aren't friends nor is he friends with the others, he's more of an acquaintance," Scooby stated.
Avocados passed by the stairs and walked off.
"Hey, look there goes Avocados now," Velma shouted as they all followed.
"Wait, what about me?" Mayor Jones asked.
"Oh right," Louis replied not thinking clearly, cutting the rope as Mayor Jones fell in the water with the shark.
Meanwhile Daphne was still waiting for Rung to show up.
"When is Rung gonna show up? I've already had 12 hands of Finger Fries," Daphne whispered to herself.
As for the gang they were still following Avocados and since Daphne wasn't there, Louis was sitting in the front.
"Satellite trackers all set, there's Avocados, straight ahead, man, you think a villain would have a less embarassing ride," Velma explained.
As Avocados's car disappeared into the fog.
"Um, like, there's some heavy soup ahead and we're all out of spoons," Shaggy informed.
"Wait, but that's fog," Louis mentioned.
"It's a metaphor," Scooby warned.
"We're losing him on the radar," Velma said.
As they continued driving through the fog until they came to the end of it.
They saw the Ghost Truck and screamed.
Scooby screamed again clinging to Louis's neck.
"Ghost Truck," Scooby yelled.
"Um, I don't think it's turned on," Louis whispered to Scooby.
"Before you go all Code Brown, think, the ghost trucker hasn't seen us yet, it's the perfect time to get a closer look," Velma notified.
"Great Idea," Fred agreed.
"Uh, how close do we have to be?" Louis questioned.
"Yeah, what happened to living to run another day ? " Shaggy asked.
As Velma came and grabbed Shaggy and Scooby while Fred went and grabbed Louis, put him on his wheel chair and approached the truck.
"Man, this thing is ancient," Fred mentioned.
Velma got closer and took a piece of paint off with her finger.
"More like painted to look that way and check out these tires, they're practically new," Velma commented.
Louis rolled to the back of the truck to look for clues while Fred climbed on it.
"I wonder, what else isn't what it appears to be," Fred said attempting to open the door.
All of a sudden they heard a honk.
Most of the gang ran back into the van except Louis.
The truck backed up hitting Louis's face making him fall off his wheel chair and onto the road.
The Ghost Truck continued going backwards to run him over.
Scooby got out of the van and ran and got him, he then put him on the front seat.
As they all were in the van now as Fred started it and drove out of there with the Ghost Truck following close behind them.
Louis checked his lip and saw it bleeding.
"Oops, my Grand mother is going to freak out," Louis mumbled to himself.
The Mystery Machine drove faster as the Ghost Truck disappeared in the fog.
Scooby let out a sigh of relief.
"I think we lost it," Scooby informed.
Shaggy chuckled as they all looked in front of them and saw it right there.
They all screamed as Fred drove backwards drove into a corner and turned off the head lights.
Fred made Velma and Louis duck as Fred commanded, "Nobody make a sound."
Scooby ducked and whimpered covering his eyes.
As the Ghost Truck drove past them.
"It worked, he didn't see us," Velma stated.
Back at the Bloody Stake, Rung had just arrived and walked to him and Daphne's table.
"Sorry, I'm late, Daphne, but work has been extremely busy, in fact ladder sales are climbing through the roof, ooh what'd you order for me? I'm starving, You gonna order anything?" Rung eludicated as Rung took her food and ate it.
Daphne just quietly grunted.
"Daphne, you're never gonna believe what happened," Fred told Daphne.
As the rest of the gang was standing right behind him, Scooby holding a cloth to Louis's bleeding lip.
"I can't wait to hear all about it, let's go," Daphne demanded as she clung to Fred.
"Uh, Rung here, Rung reminded.
"Louis, what happened?" Daphne asked.
"The Ghost Truck's bumper hit his lip," Scooby explained for him as he continued blotting Louis's lip.
"Hey, you must be Rung, wow, cool ascot, what's your neck size? I'm a sixteen in a half but sometimes it swells up to a nineteen when it's humid," Fred introduced.
"Wow, we just got attacked by the Ghost Truck and we're talking about ascots," Louis muttered to Scooby.
"Yeah, you'd think we'd be talking about something more important," Scooby agreed.
"Uh, that's great, Daphne, shouldn't we be getting back to dinner?" Rung replied disgusted by Fred's introduction and changing the subject reminding Daphne of their date.
"Sorry Rung, but something more important has come up," Daphne disagreed as she picked up her purse and prepared to leave.
"Fine, Oops, forgot my wallet, Daphne," Rung answered madly as he lied to Daphne saying he forgot his wallet so she could pay.
Daphne rolled her eyes and looked in her purse for money.
"By the way, I'm a big fan of your product a sturdy ladder is hard to find these days," Fred complemented.
"Oh, well, thanks, I agree, and FYI my neck size is a sixteen and a half too and yeah, sometimes it swells," Rung answered.
"Really? yeah, hold on, there, hey that looks pretty good on you," Fred responded as he took off his ascot and put it around Rung's neck.
"You are so right, here, take mine," Rung agreed giving Fred his.
"But, Fred told me he never takes off his lucky ascot," Daphne told Velma completely confused.
Rung fixed it a bit and left.
Scooby went over to Rung's leftovers and ate it.
"Ew, you don't know where his spit has been, Scoob," Louis warned.
"So? Yikes, What's this?" Scooby wondered.
Like, far out it's like, some kind of freaky letter, man," Shaggy stated.
"I have a feeling where it's from and it's not the warm and fuzzy kind of feeling," Velma informed.
"It's from Mr. E," Louis notified.
Fred grabbed the disk and they all went in the van as Fred put it in and played the disk.
"Greetings, everyone, this is Mr. E," Mr. E mentioned.
"Mr. E, the last time we heard from this dude, he told us we were doomed," Shaggy complained whimpering.
"If you want to solve the mystery, you need to follow the fog, remember crystals can't open doors like a diamond, talk soon," Mr. E explained.
"Hey, at least he didn't threaten me or tell me to get out of Mystery Incorporated again," Louis announced.
"And, Louis, this better be your final mystery or you're gonna regret it," Mr. E threatened.
"Never mind," Louis whispered.
"That either means absolutely nothing or it's a clue," Velma said.
"Obvi, Velma, almost everything this guy says is a clue," Louis reminded.
"But how do we know we can trust Mr. E? For all we know he could be the Ghost Trucker," Daphne warned.
"I don't think he is Daph, or we wouldn't be helping us besides I think it might be Rung," Louis informed.
As they all glared at him.
"Never mind," Louis mumbled.
"Don't worry Daph, I wouldn't let anything happen to you," Fred reassured.
"You wouldn't Fred?" Daphne asked.
"Of course not, I wouldn't let anything like that happen to my pals, you're all the same in my eyes," Fred replied.
"Fred, either that's the biggest insult I've heard today, or that was the nicest thing you've said to me, I'm conflicted," Louis stated.
"Whether we can trust Mr. E or not, a lead's a lead and we need to follow it," Velma insisted.
Later once they had arrive at there destination they all got out and shined their flash lights on the ground.
"Hey, get a load of this, tire marks just like the ones we saw before," Fred notified.
"I really don't wanna get as close as I was last time Scooby just recently got my lip to stop bleeding," Louis mentioned.
"Yeah, only these end like, really fast, Shaggy answered.
"Or do they? duh, there's a secret passage some where, there must be a way to open it, let's find it," Velma ordered.
As Daphne looked in a hole as bats came screeching and flying out of it, Daphne screamed and looked inside again to find a lever as she pulled it.
As part of the rock went up showing another puzzle, empty rocks with holes with the exact shape next to them.
Fred and Velma put it in as the ground came up directly from underneath Scooby's feet.
Scooby looked underneath him to see a huge stone there.
"What now?" Scooby wondered.
"Obviously you sit on it," Louis responded as he moved Scooby's butt onto the lifted part of the rock.
The rock went down as a huge hole came up revealing the secret passage way.
As the gang all went in.
"Wow, this place is cool, it could be our new secret hangout," Velma suggested quietly to Shaggy.
"Yeah, me, you and a couple thousand door knobs," Shaggy commented.
"Well, at least we know where all the doorknobs have been going," Louis added.
"Hey, look at this," Daphne informed.
"What is it? Daphne," Velma questioned.
"Some journal belonging to Theodore Avocados," Daphne answered.
"Hey, isn't that the bank robber?" Louis wondered.
"Exactly, that's George's dad, the one arrested for diamond theft even though the diamond was never found," Fred agreed.
"Well, according to this, he really was the thief, the confession is right here in black and white," Daphne said.
"Hey, remember what Mr. E said? crystals can't open doors like a diamond," Velma reminded.
"That's probably what that meant," Louis stated.
"Gang, I think this mystery is starting to come together," Velma announced.
All of a sudden they heard the Ghost Truck and saw it approaching slowly.
"Yeah, well, it's gonna have to come together," Shaggy notified.
"Ghost Trucker's back," Scooby shouted.
As they all ran out of the cave screaming, Scooby grabbed Louis and put him on his back, as the Ghost Truck ran over Louis's wheel chair.
"Aw man, that's the second wheel chair today," Louis complained.
"Better that then you," Scooby commented.
"Right, thanks for caring," Louis thanked.
"Don't thank me yet," Scooby suggested.
As they all ran in the van Fred took off.
The Ghost Truck speeding behind them and hitting their bumper making them spin out of control and stop, the front of the Mystery Machine now facing the Ghost Truck as Fred drove backwards.
The Mystery Machine drove around another corner as the Ghsot Truck followed.
"Doesn't this guy ever give up?" Shaggy whined.
"I don't think so, we know too much," Louis replied.
They drove past the Crystal Cove sign when the Ghost Truck past it, it broke it.
Fred took his chance to turn it around, as he drove on the sidewalk, destroying benches too.
As Fred drove off the sidewalk. back onto the road for a second, and then onto a ramp.
The Van drove into the air as the gang screamed as they landed on the roof.
Shaggy and Scooby whimpering as the roof began to give almost as fast as the van was going.
The Mystery Machine drove off the roof, onto the truck and back onto the road.
"Fred, what are we gonna do?" Daphne asked.
"The only thing we can do, lead him to one of my traps," Fred responded.
"Not to be Shaggy-negative but I don't think we'll make it that far," Louis reminded remind them of how close the truck was.
As Fred drove the Mystery Machine into City Hall as the Mystery Machine and The Ghost Truck destroyed the door and gate.
Fred took a sharp turn and then commanded an order," Scooby, now."
"Get Him Scooby," Louis ordered.
Shaggy gave Scooby a Scooby Snack as he spit out onto the record player.
The record disk cutting a rope, dropping a heavy bag onto a ramp, launching a container of paint onto a target, making the base ball fly into a base ball glove, as the base ball glove spinned making a laser grid, the laser grid connected to different objects as the Ghost Truck almost got them until they took a sharp right.
The laser grid hit a crossbow making it shoot an arrow, as the arrow hit a lever, the Mystery Machine drove off the second large ramp just in time as it launched the Ghost Truck onto it's back onto the ground with the front hanging over the shark tank.
The Shark circled around the water.
As the gang got out to see if it worked.
"Nice going, Freddy, good job," Scooby complemented chuckling.
"Indeed sir," Louis agreed in a British accent.
"Pickled porcupines, what's going on here? Fred, I was in my office working late when suddenly it sounds like some demonic force is tearing apart City Hall, tell me it's true," Mayor Jones complained.
"It's even better, Dad, we caught the Ghost Trucker, and he's none other than," Fred explained.
"Let me out of here," Rung demanded as he fell out screaming and falling to the ground.
Rung let out a long upset sigh.
"Rung Ladderton," They yelled.
"Ha, I was right, I told you," Louis bragged.
"Ooh, ah, shock,yeah, yeah, that's right, and I would have gotten away with it if it weren't for you meddling piers," Rung stated.
"Of Course, it all makes sense, Rung was using the Ghost Truck to smuggle door knobs out of Crystal Cove, so he could find Theodore Avocados's missing diamond," Daphne mentioned.
"Of Course it did, you guys really need to start listening to me more often," Louis complained.
"Avocados disguised the diamond as a door knob, that's why it was never found," Fred reminded.
"That's correct, my little ascot-wearing friend but that idiot, Avocados didn't say in his journal which Crystal knob was really the diamond, so I had to steal them all and with what better way than with a Ghost Truck to smuggle them all out of town," Rung eludicated.
"We should have known the other guy who had bought the tires was G. Nurno Treddal a name far too ridiculous to be real, because it's Rung Ladderton spelled backwards," Velma brought up.
"But Rung you're rich, you've got it everything, ladders, ascots, why did you need a diamond?" Fred wondered.
"Um, it's kind of obvious, he inherited a Ladder Company the only thing no one rarely needs to replace, I kind of did some snooping of my own, I soon discovered his profits were extremely low," Louis stated.
"Hey pip squirt, this is my moment, anyway, I inherited a Ladder Company, we make the one product in the world that no one ever replaces, ladders don't wear out like tv's or Personal Trainers over 40, no, no, they're built to last which means no sales, the company's broke," Rung repeated.
"You know all you had to do was just sell the business and just not tell them what they were inheriting, then you could literally do what ever you want," Louis informed.
Rung just let out a huge scream and whispered, " I just should have kidnapped you."
"I don't think you'll be needing this any more," Daphne commented as she took Fred's ascot off Rung's neck.
As the police took him away.
"Thanks Daph," Fred answered.
"No worries, I'm always here for you Fred, seriously,right here," Daphne warned.
"I gotta hand it to you, Fred, one of your traps actually came in handy this time," Mayor Jones complemented.
"Gee, Dad, does this mean you'll finally accept what I wanna do with my life?" Fred asked.
Mayor Jones chuckled and replied,"No."
The next morning the Tow Truck came and towed the Shark Tank away.
"And so despite the fact that the Ghost Trucker was caught depriving Crystal Cove of a well needed automotive tourist attraction, as the people booed as the heard that, my son, the future Mayor of Crystal Cove and his friends have returned the missing diamond stolen by Theodore Avocados more than making up for the lost revenue stream, Mayor Jones announced.
They all cheered hearing that.
Louis leaned onto Scooby's neck falling asleep as Scooby shook him awake.
"I'm up," Louis responded.
Scooby licked his face.
"Awake no?" Scooby asked
"I am now," Louis said smiling at Scooby.
"Because of this as still acting Mayor, I hereby create the honorary of Pizza Affairs and named it's Chief Officer...," Mayor Jones added.
"Hey, where's Scooby?" Louis questioned.
"Scooby-Yummy-Yummy-Doo!!!" Scooby shouted licking his lips.
"That dog will never change," Louis stated slightly shaking his head.
That night when Louis got back to his Grand Mother's house.
Scooby stayed there outside near the van ready to do anything.
Louis let out a long sigh and opened the door.
"Well, look who decided to come home," Louis's Grandmother mentioned.
"For a little bit," Louis responded.
Louis grabbed his back pack which was on the table and was about to head back outside until his Grand Mother closed the door.
"You're not going any where, you're staying here where it's safe," Louis's Grand Mother demanded.
"Velma,Now," Louis ordered as Velma made her stealth suit un-invisible revealing her zip line that was connected to a hole in the ceiling as she picked Louis up and moved his wheel chair out of the way.
"Scooby, you're time to shine," Velma commanded.
Scooby made a whole in the floor as Velma dropped Louis into the hole, Scooby caught him but Louis's Grand Mother grabbed his wrist.
"Were do you think, you're going?" Louis's Grand Mother questioned stabbing a needle in Louis's wrist to hold on.
Velma got out of the hole in their ceiling and headed back in the van.
"Where are the other two?" Daphne and Fred wondered.
"They're not here yet?" Velma asked.
"Nope," Shaggy answered
Meanwhile back at the house.
"Oh, so now I can add Physical Harm to My Reasons for not coming home,oh, and I going where I belong," Louis stated as he bit his Grand Mother's hand and Scooby put him on his back and slid out from under the house.
Louis's Grand Mother opened the door and saw Scooby entering the van with Louis.
"Go,go,go," Louis demanded as Fred drove off.
Scooby put Louis down on the bench next to him.
"I can't believe she resulted to bodily harm," Louis whispered to the gang.
"Hold on, she inserted a tracking chip into your wrist, give me your wrist for a sec, there," Velma warned as she used a little pocket knife and some tweezers to get it out.
Velma then put a bandage around it to stop the bleeding.
Louis rubbed his finger across the bandage as he continued to think about it.
"Hey, don't worry, you'll be with me and Shaggy, you won't have to worry about her again, you are safe with me," Scooby reassured.
"Thanks Scooby for everything," Louis thanked as tears started to come down his cheeks.
Scooby opened his arms wide to comfort him.
Louis went over to him as Scooby hugged him and comforted him.
Louis started sobbing really hard on Scooby's chest as Scooby just patted his back and said," It's okay."
"You won't have to worry about her again," Velma informed.
Louis's Grandmother went up to Louis's room to see it all packed up, the room was completely empty.
"Oh, Louis, only if you know what you have done, I can't protect you anymore, you're on your own and that mutt better be there to protect you, he's in for a lot," Louis's Grand Mother said to herself as she fell to her knees and began to cry herself.
Back in the Mystery Machine Scooby was still comforting Louis.
"Come on, I can't stand to see your soft cheeks wet, come on smile," Scooby notified.
Louis smiled hearing that.
"There it is, my favorite smile, the highlight of my day," Scooby complemented hearing that.
"Thanks, sorry, I'm probably annoying, huh," Louis wondered.
"No way," Scooby disagreed.
"Well, we better get some sleep, we need to be well rested," Fred suggested.
"Sounds good to me," Louis agreed.
As Scooby and Louis smiled at each other.
