SUMMER

The gang hung out a lot together that June.  They invited me to come along, checking out police blotters and discussing urban legends.  I met with the group, and recounted my experiences with the paranormal here in Crystal Cove.  It was as if I had flipped a switch on some kind of mystery machine.  I told them all about the unsolved cases I knew.  Any of the details I didn't know I made up (usually through pantomime).  They escorted me out to the backyard and I waited.

They came out a little while later and Velma said, "Well?"

I said, "Rell rhat?"

"Are you in or not?"

I was in.  This was pretty much how we formed Mystery Inc.  In a couple days I packed up and quit my job.  Shaggy sold his bike.  I had no idea what was going to happen.  I left my old life behind like a great dane breaking his leash.
