Fred, Velma, and Daphne were talking with the Hex Girls at the Grand Hotel, wondering if there was anyone they suspected to have a grudge against Ladybug and Cat Noir and the concert the other night.
"Everyone knows that before her exile, Chloe was among those who hated Ladybug the most. But this former model Lila who just disappeared" Dusk said.
"Cat Noir did say that Lila tricked him from helping Ladybug, indicating she wants Ladybug dead," Velma said.
"So cruel of this girl," Daphne said.
"Yeah. And of course, she got expelled from school to incriminate an innocent bakery girl but failed when she got exposed for who she truly is. It says so on the news a few months ago and I guess that's why Lila vanished to hide from Paris. Almost as if she either changed her look or went into hiding to come back for revenge" Thorn guessed her theory.
"Maybe that's why Gabriel fired her. Ever since he replaced her with the daughter of the Japanese woman who works with him, he didn't explain why" Dusk said.
"Secrets go in the grave but we found these in Lila's locker" Velma held up an evidence bag with the green contacts.
"Weird. She never mentioned that. She once said she was a movie star in Hollywood but we checked on the media and found nothing about her. It could be a false rumor" Thorn said, unaware that Lila was a liar.
"No movies and no TV shows with her," Luna said.
"Ladybug mentioned she's a pathological liar. That can't be good at all" Velma said.
"No, it can completely destroy the lives of others and herself. We've seen a few fans make a lie about us on social media and it doesn't end well for them" Thorn said.
"The authorities looked everywhere but they gave up the search. So far, nothing" Luna said.
"It sounds like she got kidnapped," Shaggy said.
"Or captured," Scooby said.
"She's our first suspect but we can't assume she's behind this," Fred said.
"So far we got the lenses and some strange dust from the concert," Daphne said.
"Yet these clues get more complicated," Velma said.
The waitress with a black hair bun and green eyes brought in a wheely food tray for the Hex Girls. What they don't know is that the waitress doesn't work at the hotel nor are employees.
"Here you go," The waitress said.
"Thank you" Thorn thanked her.
"I'm a huge fan of your concert. I didn't know you would be inviting the group over for a reunion or something" The waitress said with her act while keeping her anger under control.
"We invited them to solve the double ghost mystery," Luna said.
"Okay. Well, good luck" The waitress left.

With Marinette, she has no idea if Lila, Chloe, or the new Hawk Moth is causing this. There was no Akuma in sight at all when the ghosts appeared. Somehow it didn't make any sense as to why someone would use the ghosts of the same person who is dead to scare people off.
"This feels like disgrace by raising someone from the dead" Marinette said.
"Maybe a mortician, grave digger, or a eulogistic person" Alya guessed it could be an Akuma based on an obsession with the dead.
"Perhaps. But the ghosts went both for me and Cat Noir than the Mystery Inc" Marinette said.
"Someone really is out for revenge, girl. Whoever it is, that new Hawk Moth could be the one doing exactly like Monarch wanting the miraculous" Alya said.
"Yes, I fought really hard to prevent the new Hawk moth's akuma from making the wish in time," Marinette said.
"But you don't talk about it much because passing that info can cause serious consequences," Alya said.
"Yes, I can't go through it again. The timeline must be safe" Marinette said.
"Yes, or it would be unstable," Alya said.
"So far, Bunnix seems to be okay in her Burrow. Nothing to report" Marinette said.
"She can't meddle with time and you know that," Alya said.
"Yeah, I know," Marinette said.
"Marinette, I know you want to find the culprit but trust Mystery Inc. They have solved mysteries for years and no one has ever solved mysteries like them. You always find a solution to the problem and that's what I love about you, girl. Even Adrien fell in love with you because you always gave him great advice that no one could give him" Alya said.
"Thanks, Alya" Marinette smiled.
"That guy and his dog, sure they are easily scaredy cats but they are still part of Mystery Inc. And you seem to enjoy their dog treats which I find strange," Alya said, noticing she had two boxes of Scooby Snacks.
"The guy in the green shirt eats them too. They taste like biscuits" Marinette said.
"Really?" Alya picks one up and she tries it, "Hmmmm.... strange but you're right. This is made for humans too" Alya said.
"And for dogs," Marinette said.

With Adrien, even if his cousin Felix knows he's Cat Noir, Felix only finds out by sensing Adrien's amok but he made a lie that he 'accidentally' sneaked into his room when he saw him transform, without revealing he's a sentimonster or Adrien would connect the dots if he ever found out that his father was Monarch, all hell breaks loose. Therefore, Adrien couldn't outsmart him but he hopes that Felix keeps this a secret without jeopardizing him if the new Hawk Moth found out too.
"So, no signs of the ghosts yet?" Felix asked him.
"Nope, my partner and I so far know that they come for us two than the Mystery Inc," Adrien said.
"I see. Well, it's a pinky promise your identity is safe with me" Felix said.
"Good, or you'll be their target too," Adrien said.
"Yeah. And what's with these?" Felix picks up one Scooby Snack.
"These are like cookies than dog treats," Adrien said.
"And yet you still hold a grudge of that day I became Flairmidable the bad puppy," Felix said, knowing he was a bad dog before.
"Because you betrayed everyone and me" Adrien.
"I know. But let's not nag about the past" Felix then tried one Scooby snack, "Mmmm, taste like vanilla flavored biscuits"
"Aww....is Flairmidable enjoying my dog treats better than a bad treat from Shadowmoth?" Adrien making fun of him.
"Shut up!" Felix snapped, and Adrien kept quiet.
"Let me try" Duusu tries one Scooby snack.
"You know I'm right. I can see you liked it" Adrien snickered at Felix's grumpiness.
"Mmmhmm" Felix rolled his eyes.
"Hey Plagg, try it too" Duusu tossed one to Plagg.
"No thanks. I prefer my only Camembert taste" Plagg refused.
