Mystery Machine

Jake,Reese and the Case of the Rolling Luggage

(Thank LA Times for the title and Michael K for inspiration)

Well gang, it looks like we have a mystery on our hands.

Like are they splitting up?

Or who broke up with who?

More like what was was in those suitcase.

Maybe we can dig up some answers to this mystery!
The girls and I will go this way, Shaggy, you and Scooby check out the basement we'll start here in the bedroom.

Look at this pretty purple string that I found caught in the nightstand drawer. It would match my dress.

Daphne! You found a clue.

That's the mane of a My Little Pony.

Why's there a My Little Pony stuffed in this drawer, and it smells like Strawberry Shortcake.
Clearly someone wanted us to think this was his side of the bed.

All these other drawers and closets are filled with her clothes.

They forgot that he needs glasses. There's none here. No contacts either He's a blind as a bat, just like me.

Did someone say Batttt?

"Gulp!"

Zoinks, Scoob. Hold me.

You two knock it off. There's no bats.

If there's no bats, can we just forget this and hit the kitchen for a snack?
No Shaggy. We have mystery on our hands.

Gang let's keep looking.

Come on Scooby help us look for more clues.
Uh Uh

How about for a Scooby snack?

(shaking head no)
Two Scooby snacks?

(shaking head no)

If he won't I will.

Raggy!
I've only got one Scooby Snack left, Scoob, go find the next clue.

Fred! Daphne! Velma! Look was Scooby found.
See these tracks, clearly the suitcase was rolled from this office out the front door.

Why would his suitcases be in an office?

It's elementary, their romance is a business.

And from the depths of the tracks and how light they look when the assistant picked them up, I conclude there was nothing in the cases, it was purely for show.

Clearly he never stayed here. Just kept bags that would make it look like he did. Bet all you would find in that suitcase was paperwork, a bad hat, some Abba cds and a Cirque de Soleil dvd.

Why would they pretend and then pretend to pretend to break up?

If we figure that out, we'll be halfway towards solving this mystery and half of Hollywood

Ree hee hee
Who put the My Little Pony and the Strawberry Shortcake in the nightstand.

Someone who wanted to make it look like he did live here, someone who would benefit from it, but didn't want the real hassle in the house.

The Gang: Old lady Witherspoon!

And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids"



And after all this silliness there is something very important about today.

December 1st is World AIDS DAY.
Today there are:
* 33.4 million people living with HIV worldwide
* 31.3 million adults
