possibly get any more amazing, Scooby began his real show: fire eating, throwing knives, and a dozen other tricks that no one had ever seen before.
    â€œRa daaaa!” he cheered at the end. He was barely even out of breath.
    The crowd went wild.
    Shaggy looked at Scooby and grinned. “Thank you, thank you!” he shouted at the audience. “I’m Shaggy, his, uh … trainer!”
    Somehow, the crowd got even louder then. “Shag-gy! Shag-gy! Shag-gy!”
    Scooby looked at Shaggy, and then pointed to himself. “Rhut rabout re?”
    Shaggy just soaked up the cheers.
    â€œThat went well,” Marius called as they bowed and stepped out of the main ring.
    Now it was Velma’s turn. “You’re up, Human Comet!” Marius told her.
    Velma shook with nerves. “I can’t do this!”
    â€œDon’t worry,” Archambault reassured her as he carried her toward the cannon. “You’re going to be fine.”
    â€œYou think so?” Velma asked.
    â€œEh.” Archambault shrugged. “Fifty-fifty.”
    But before Velma could be shot through the air, a scream tore through the big top. “Werewolves!” a woman in the audience shrieked. “Werrrrrewolves!”
    Everyone turned in time to see two werewolves dash across the center of the main ring. The audience began to applaud. “Those costumes are awesome!” someone yelled.
    Shaggy and Scooby peeked out to see what was going on. The werewolves that had chased them out of the museum were now snarling and snapping and running through the circus.
    The audience laughed. “Werewolves! What a great idea!” they called. Everyone thought the werewolves were just actors in the circus!
    â€œEverybody out!” Marius called out to the audience. “Follow the ushers. Please evacuate in an orderly fashion!”
    The crowd still believed the werewolves were just part of the act. They cheered and clapped as they left the big top.
    â€œAahhh!” Shaggy yelped as the werewolves drew closer to him and Scooby. “Like, don’t bite us! I don’t wanna be a werewolf!”
    â€œRi’m ralready a dog!” Scooby whimpered. He and Shaggy hopped onto Daphne’s motorcycle, trying to outrun the werewolves.
    â€œGet away. Shoo!” Shaggy snapped at the werewolves. “Go chase a cat.”
    The motorcycle tipped as Shaggy and Scooby zoomed awkwardly around the big top with thewerewolves right behind them. “ Ahh! No bitey!” Shaggy scolded. “Like, I am not a chew toy!”
    â€œThere has to be something we can do,” Marius said helplessly.
    Fred thought for a moment. “Usually I drop a net on —” He looked up and saw the trapeze act’s safety net. “Ooh, that’s a big net! Shaggy! Scooby! Lead them over this way!”
    â€œI’ll try,” Shaggy yelled, shaking his leg at the werewolf. Scooby’s arms were wrapped around Shaggy’s head, blocking his view. When he realized his buddy couldn’t see, Scooby reached his feet around Shaggy and steered the bike toward Fred.
    â€œNow!” Fred yelled to Marius. They pulled at the ropes on either side of the safety net and it dropped on the two werewolves. “Got ’em!”
    Everyone ran over and began to dig through the piles of netting — even Sisko, Oliverio, and Lena. “Come on,” Marius said as they dug through the trap. “They have to be here.”
    But when they got to the bottom of the pile, it was obvious that the trap had failed.
    â€œHow could they just disappear like that?” Doubleday asked, appearing out of nowhere to help with the search.
    Sisko honked twenty-six times.
    â€œMaybe …” Doubleday said. He obviously understood what Sisko had been trying to say. “But where would they hide the forklift?”
    Velma paced near Marius. She was still trying to figure out why the werewolves had attacked during the
