  “Those artifacts are worth a fortune!” Martin spits out. “If I had sold them, I would be living in a mansion bigger than this one.”

  “Well, the only big house you’ll be staying in is prison,” Shaggy says.

  “Reah!” Scooby-Doo agrees.

  Wadsworth walks over and announces, “I’ve alerted the authorities, and they are on their way.”

  “Excellent news,” Mr. King says. “A great big thanks goes out to the members of Mystery Inc. for solving another case.”

  “Do you have anything else to say, Dr. Clark?” Fred asks.

  “My Minotaur plan was flawless,” he snarls. “I would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren’t for you meddling kids!”

  “Famous last words,” Daphne says.

  “And so are these,” adds Velma, pointing to Scooby-Doo.

  Grinning from ear to ear, the Great Dane replies, “Scooby-Dooby-Doo!”
