Velma, Dr. Spike and others in “Unfinished Business”

Velma

Hey, you're not a mermaid!

Allow me to introduce my lovely wife Amy Cavanaugh, ordinary human and professional Commercial jingle singer.

That explains why your eerily beautiful singing voice made me want to put on deodorant! (Velma is disappointed)

Velma...

Velma

You lied to me. You acted like you were my friend, and I believed you.

I'm sorry. I came up with the mermaid character out of desperation. I'd gone to the police to report that my husband had been kidnapped by Fish Freaks, but they just laughed at me, then asked for directions to the oil platform so they could add it as a stop to on the Crystal Cove Mystery Tour. I thought that if I could make it sound like one of your mysteries, you'd help me rescue my husband. And you did.

Velma

How do you even know about us?

I read your blog. I'm a fan.

Velma

Does that mean you're going to stay in touch?

If you'd like to me to.

Velma

Well... whatever. It's your decision. But I wouldn't mind if you did. As far as helping, it's what we do. Our friend Angel also deserves a lot of credit. She knew about Destroido's involvement from some old newspaper articles. That's how we made the connection.

Newspaper articles? That's strange. Destroido covered the whole thing up. The papers never even knew about it.

Velma

Hmm.
