“Dude, check this out.”
“No Shawn, we should be working on the case, not surfing the Internet for pointless information that means NOTHING.” Gus shot back, barely looking up from the case file he was studying. Sometimes he felt as if he was the only one working…and most of the time when he felt that way—he was right.
Forging a look of hurt, Shawn gasped dramatically, “But Gus,” he countered, “This is important!”
“Fine, what is it, Shawn?” Gus asked finally, giving into his friends act if only to get him to shut up sooner. Sadly, he didn’t know he was opening a can of worms.
“Did you know that Apple pays Chuck Norris 99 cents just to listen to one of their songs?”
“Not this again,” the pharmaceutical salesman said, standing. The last time Shawn found Chuck Norris Facts, it lasted for days. Damn his best friends photographic memory!
Pulling his laptop towards him to safety, Shawn looked up at Gus,
“Hey Gus, Chuck Norris counted to infinity,” Shawn held out his fist and two of his fingers popped up in a V shape, “Twice.”
“That’s nice and all, but we need to work on this case,” Gus said, laughing in a fake way and than reaching for Shawn’s laptop. He missed.
“Dude, Chuck Norris can sneeze with. His. Eyes. Open.” Shawn informed his very reluctant friend as he dogged another grab.
“Cut it out Shawn, we have to work on this case!”
“Okay, okay,” Shawn sighed, “one more,”
“One,” Gus threatened holding out his pointer finger stubbornly.
Shawn grinned and laughed as he read one, “Chuck Norris can kill two stones, with one bird.”
“Haha, now can we get back to work?” Gus asked, returning to his desk.
The silence lasted longer then he thought it would, but than, “hey Gus?”
“What is it now Shawn?” He bit out, dropping his forehead into his hands.
“Did you know the leading causes of death in the United States are Heart Disease, Cancer….” Gus sighed, finally Shawn was talking about something other than, “and Chuck Norris?”
Exasperated, Gus growled, “Shut up about Chuck Norris, Shawn.”
“Jules!” Shawn greeted their blond friend as she walked in, “Guess what?”
“No! Shawn don’t you dare say anything to her!”
“Why Gus?” Shawn asked, jerking his head back, as if shocked and confused, “I was just going to tell her I figured out the case.”
“Shawn!” shouted, why hadn’t his friend told him that before?
“And…” Shawn paused, moving his eyes from Gus to Jules, “that before the Boogyman goes to sleep at night, he checks to make sure that Chuck Norris is not in his closet—just in case.”
Juliet laughed, “I love Chuck Norris Facts!” She laughed, “Hey, did you know that when Chuck Norris does a push up, he pushes him self up, and the Earth down?”
The two laughed while Gus slumped in defeat.
“Here we go again,” He muttered mentally preparing himself for the hours, maybe days to follow.
