chapter 7: trouble
daphne and velma were being watched.
the young woman observing them watched the two sleuths racing through the hallways of coolsville high school, as the picture on the flat screen mounted to the wall twitched like static electricity. she watched as daphne and velma sprinted through the exit doors and continued running through the parking lot, stopping once they reached the mystery machine. the two girls jumped into the van, and the screen revealed shaggy and scooby sitting in the back seat, with fred as the driver. before velma could finish closing the passenger door, the mystery machine peeled out of the parking lot and tore down the main road.
the young woman narrowed her eyes at the screen and hurled an empty soda can at the monitor, causing the picture on the screen to slide and go black. she had seen enough.
"i hate them! i hate them all!" the woman snarled through closed lips. "but i especially hate that daphne blake!" the woman suddenly laughed as a sinister thought bloomed within her mind. "well, good thing i know just where they are heading next."
the woman turned to the control panel that was located just below the monitor. spread out before her were dozens of keys, all different sizes and colors, but she pressed only one yellow circle, which made a loud buzzing sound that reverberated throughout the entire room. about five seconds later, the door to the room flung open. three men stumbled into the room clumsily, as if they were newborn calves attempting to walk on their own legs for the first time. the men looked regular enough – blue jeans, plaid shirts, clean-shaven – but their skin was pale and waxy.
and their eyes shone with a vi
ant, penetrating blue light.
"go and find mystery inc., for me," the woman hissed. "and it shouldn't be too hard for you to do: they are headed to that diner right now."
as the men turned and walked sloppily out the room, the woman laughed.
"watch out, mystery inc. – we're going to hit you so hard, you won't be solving mysteries ever again!"
