A mysterious stranger is following Shawn and he doesn't know why. Fearing for his safety, he reaches out to his friends and the SBPD for help. Will Lassiter, Juliet, and the gang be able to find Shawn's stalker in time?

Action and adventure ensues!

This story answers the challenges "Stalking Shawn Spencer," "Lassie Face!", and "Detecti-Whump!" Yes, I'm answering three challenges at once. I'm nothing if not ambitious.

Lassiter finally gives Juliet another shot as Lead Detective on a case, one she specifically requests because it's personally important to her.  She brings in Shawn and Gus as consultants to help speed things along, but quickly learns it's not as easy to fill Lassiter's size 12 shoes as everyone thinks.  Juliet makes a critical mistake that winds up endangering everyone—one that could have deadly consequences for Shawn.  

Fortunately for the pseudo-psychic, someone is there to watch his back.  Someone who practically lives on the firing range preparing for a day such as this.  Someone who's more than willing to kick some ass to serve and protect.  Because NO ONE damages "property of the SBPD" on his watch...

My version of how Lassie lost his red Crown Vic.  Warning for "Character Death", even if it is just a car.

Shawn screws up and gets Lassie whumped something fierce.  Enough said.  Enjoy!

Head Detective Carlton Lassiter thought Shawn's request seemed innocent enough—"Give me a ride in your car."

Life would still be simple and good if his answer had just been "NO."

And now he's stuck in the middle of nowhere with one injured and extremely annoying fake psychic pestering him with no hope of rescue any time soon.  That is, if they can manage to make it out alive...without killing each other first.

And YES, Shawn gets whumped something fierce.  He'll never know what hit him.

This one story is answering four challenges at once.  I'm nothing if not ambitious.
