Still in the locked room, Shaggy scrambled for ways to escape. From surveying his surroundings, it appeared the only way out was a narrow window about 10 feet up from where he was. There were no ladders or things to step on around, thus, he would need some sort of boost. Or... he could try to climb. He was the "swingest gymnast" in his high school, after all. It appeared this was his only option.

"If only we had a way to get out of here." Daphne remarked. "What about your martial arts training?" Amber asks. "No good here, my moves aren't strong enough to break steel yet, even with my training, I'm just barely above Hong Kong Phooey!" Daphne exclaims in disgust. "You still know how to make tools and disguises the old fashioned way right?" Amber suggests. "Yeah, but I need Scooby's dog tag for one of my gadgets, meanwhile if rose colored glasses work for some people, they can work for us." Daphne replies eyeing Scooby as she gets to work on changing everyone's attire ever so slightly by adding a pair of the aforementioned glasses to it. "Scooby, would you come here please, you big strong hound with an industrial sized box of Scooby Snax on top?"

Velma heard her phone buzzing and took a look at it "Just reached the river on the right side. Look for a green minivan. Marcie" "Hey, Dixie, any chance we could stop and pick up Marcie. She just got in from a science fair in Tennessee and she wants to help in the treasure hunt." Dixie nodded " The more the merrier. What does her car look like?""It's a green minivan. She's at Rocky Point "That is over there. Yeah , I see the van, let's get the car ramp down so she can drive on. " Dixie pulled the boat along the shore and lowered the ramp.Marcie drove aboard and parked in the lot, then climbed out. She smiled slightly as the others came up to her " Hi I'm Marcie, but most call me Hot Dog Water. It's because I worked at a stall that sold popcorn and hot dogs, and well the name stuck unfortunately "Welcome aboard Marcie I'm Dixie Doo, and this is my pal Missy. That's Cruny Marybelle, Nora and Creola." Nice to meet all of you " Marcie said as Velma approached her to hug her.

Scooby slinked over to Daphne, a bit nervous.
"Rere you ro, Raphne." he offered, detaching the dog tag from his collar and giving it to the redhead. "Rhat do rou reed it for?"

"Remember how I got us out of that cabana in New Orleans?" Daphne asks as she puts it with something else and tries to turn the lock. "I'm going to do the same thing by linking it with my eye-lash curler, it makes for a good imitation key." "It sounds like it's working, a few more turns and maybe we can get out of here." Amber cheers. "Good thing too, but we'll need to find Shaggy." Daphne replies as the door finally opens as she exits and motions for the group to do the same.

Shaggy attempted to climb the window, albeit a bit awkwardly as his feet were shaking from fear. Once he had almost made it to the window, his foot slipped and he tumbled down to the ground. Determined to escape, Shaggy tried again and this time made it to the open window. Though a normal person wouldn't be able to fit through this window, Shaggy was so skinny due to a high metabolism that it was almost an easy task to slip through such a small space.
"Phew, I'm out! But, like, where's everyone else?" Shaggy asked himself.

Creola showed Marcie the last note , and she spent a couple minutes reading it. "Out of curiosity, how many caches did Marybelle hide?""10, this will be number five " Nora said. " they've been hidden since 1863, Vicksburg has grown a lot over the years since. I doubt that all of them will have remained undisturbed , unless they were hidden very well " "We've been lucky so far" Marybelle said " Thr areas I hid them weren't developed. The caches were hidden where I could find a place for them, that only trusted friends would know where to look. I had a list of the locations but I lost it a long time ago and I subsequently forgot where the locations were. Hence the treasure hunt and the prize offer. Speaking of that,Marcie, is there anything I can get for you as a reward?" "Hmm, give me some time to think about it, and I will get back to you " Marcie said. She took a closer look at Marybelle, Creola , Cruny and Nora. " You're ghosts aren't you? I mean there is no way you could still be living if you were around in 1863, the oldest anyone has ever lived to is 122, and that lady was born in 1875."
"Of course, dear lady "Cruny said. " We've been spirits for over 100 years. We just look very solid, well most of us. Belle has issues staying solid for long periods "

Meanwhile in the boy's room...
"Baxter, do you think we'll be back on the current any time soon?" Chris asked getting a bit nervous. "Probably not for awhile, though maybe while we can't work on this case, we can work on a different one." "What kind of case?" Madelyn inquires. "About not being bored now that we're a little more rested and feeling a bit like doing something." Chris replies. "Something like watching or maybe reading the old series "Magic School Bus"...it was a wacky show and book series about a class with an unusual teacher that gives bizarre fieldtrips. Once she took her class into outer space." "That's not even the weird part." Baxter states non-chalantly. "What is the weird part then?" Madelyn questions. "The teacher herself." Baxter remarks. "Strange things happen when she's around."

"That's good to hear." Baxter said. "In the meantime, we'll just stay here." "Great, here's the books you wanted." Fred said handing over a collection of chapter books. "I had some in the Mystery Machine." "Thanks, we hope to be back to work and ready to help soon." Chris said as he opened the Butterfly book while Baxter opened the bones book.

Shaggy realized he could text the gang where he was, but upon looking at his phone realized there was no reception. He looked around for any sign of a building, where he might be able to get reception and let the gang know where he was, but there wasn't anything around. Shaggy decided to keep walking in hopes of either finding cell phone reception, or better yet, the rest of the gang.

Marybelle and Creola showed Marcie around the room, as Dixie plotted the course toward the cave system on the other side of the river, which would take a couple hours.

After what felt like several hours of walking, Shaggy stumbled upon a small gas station, and once again checked his phone. The reception was still weak with one bar, but thank god, he could send a text to the rest of the gang. He immediately pulled up Daphne's number and texted "I got trapped in a locked room, and I'm not sure where the rest of the gang is. Where are you guys?"

"We're just on the back side of the fort, look for rose glasses on us." Daphne said in response. "I'll explain later."

“Did you guys see a gas station tho?” Shaggy responded to Daphne’s text. “I’m not sure where I am, or how to get to the fort from here.”
