Fred drove them to Velma's house where Chris was actually quite excited going to . It was a modest house with a living room, 3 bedrooms, and 3 bathrooms . The decor was normal, nothing too flashy . The gang went inside Velma's room which only had bookshelves, a bed, a closet, and a desk which had a desktop on it .

'As expected . Not as girly as Daphne's,' Chris thought as everyone found a spot to sit at .

"Well guys, great job at capturing the pig . Although not everything went according to plan, we improvised well," Fred said .

"Yeah, Chris did a great with the bola even though I don't know where in the world he got that from," Daphne said .

"Ehh, it seemed like a decent thing to have since we do miss the target a lot of the times . Of course, it won't work on monsters like the Tar Creature that we caught a long time ago," Chris said .

"Yeah, that was years ago," Velma said reminiscing the past .

"Oh yeah check this out," Chris said as he took out the stopwatch he found inside Bob's suit . It was made out of silver and looked pretty old . Inside the watch was a small rectangle .

"Is that what took you so long?" Velma asked .

"Yep . I found it inside the pig suit," Chris said .

"Like Chris, what's so good about this watch . I mean it looks older than my granddad hahahahaha," s.h.a.ggy said .

"Reah hehehehehe," s...o...b.. said as he used his tail as a cane and acted as if he was an old grandpa .

"Quit it you two," Fred said . "Interesting, so how did Bob get this watch?"

"He said he found it inside the sewer . Well I'm guessing he cleaned it which was the reason why I was alright with taking it," Chris said .

"Well it better be because I don't want anymore nasty sewer smell on my Fuuci skirts," Daphne said .

"So why'd you pick it up? It seems like a regular old stopwatch that someone threw away," Velma asked .

"I don't know . It just seems special, but I can't really point my fingers at exactly what," Chris said . He turned it around to see if there was anything on it that seemed special . On the backside of the watch was an initial .

"J . R . ?"Daphne asked . "Well that's not really a clue . It could be anyone,"

Chris put the stopwatch on the floor and the gang became uninterested . They started doing their own things and occasionally chatting about random things .

After a while of just fooling around, Chris started to press every single part of the watch just in case if there was anything he missed . Suddenly, he felt a part of the side press down as if there was a b.u.t.ton .

"Wait guys, I think I found something," Chris said . The rest of the gang perked up and went to see what Chris was talking about .

"What'd you find?" Fred asked .

"I just pressed this portion . No stopwatches would have a b.u.t.ton there, but I don't know what the b.u.t.ton did," Chris looked closer and finally spotted the difference . Inside the watch where the tiny rectangle was, instead of it being filled, it was now empty . Chris looked closer in the hole and found two numbers .

"There's a 4 and a 0," Chris said as the other members looked inside .

"So it's either the number 40 or 4 and 0," Velma said . "But what's so significant about those numbers . I mean there's no correlation,"

"But what if there's more than just this watch?" Chris asked .

"We don't even have a clue where the other leads would be even if there is more than just this watch," Velma retorted .

"Well then we're going to have to put a halt on this for now . Alright, I'll order some pizza . Who wants some," Fred said . Everyone agreed and they ordered 10 boxes . 2 for Fred, Daphne, and Velma and the remaining 8 for the other 3 .

After about another 2 hours, Fred took everyone back home . At his house, Chris played around with the watch a bit more .

"If this is so important to the quest, then why is it so vague . Why isn't there more clues?" Chris complained .

-Host will have to figure that out . When all the pieces fall into place, the number will make sense . -

"The number huh . So it is 40," Chris said as he finally extracted some information out of the System . He was happy with the win for today and put the watch away .
