Author's Notes:
This one is long there wont be very many chapters though.
FLASHBACK: March 29 2010 "And that is how you killed all four of your victims". Shawn Spencer finished wrapping up a case of murders at different junkyards. "Patrick Grante your under arrest". Carlton Lassiter said putting cuffs on him. Before he took Patrick away he whispered something to Shawn. "Your gonna be sorry you did that." "Yeah well your going to jail. Lassie face take him away." The smart mouth fake psychic said. "Man that guy gave me the creeps". Shawns best friend Gus said. "Yeah let's go get some Nachos". ................................................ February 12 2014. "Man your such an idiot". Gus said walking through the police station door. "Man I can not be blamed for not knowing the guy had a gun!" He defended himself "He shot two people of course he had a gun." "Well no one got hurt." "Yeah that's because Jules and Lassie came in and saved our asses again." "Speaking of which where are they." Before they could answer the chief came from her office calling them in. "We have found a body stabbed twice in the chest. Name Andrew Hatston. He worked as a plumber. His wife is waiting for questioning in the other room." "Great chief me and Gus will get on that". Shawn said walking towards the door wanting to get on the case. "Not so fast there's more." "Aw man". He was hoping for an easy case. "There was a note addressed to you Mr. Spencer." "Really? What did it say?"< "I told you your gonna be sorry you did that." She read. Shawns eyes went wide with shock. That was four years ago. Why was he coming up again now. He didn't think the guy would actually come back. Maybe he was overreacting. He decided it wouldn't hurt to give them the information. After all the only one who knew about the threat was Gus. "Um I'm sensing that this murder has something to do with Patrick Grante from 2010." "Spencer he's been in jail for four years I highly doubt his killing people from in there." Lassiter stepped in. "The spirits are pretty sure Lassie". Shawn said knowing Lassiter would check it out.despite him saying Shawn isnt psychic over and over again he didnt know for sure. Juliet on the other hand looked at him weirdly. She knew he wasn't psychic and she wanted to know why he would bring up Patrick Grante after all these years. After everone left she pulled him aside. "Shawn remember how your not allowed to lie to me anymore." She said. "Yes. You made a big deal about it." He said confused. She sighed annoyed. "Why are you bringing up Patrick Grante." "Jules does this really matter I just remember something he said now let's go." "Fine Shawn I just don't want to waste police time." "Don't worry Jules I doubt its a waste of time". He said then gave her a quick kiss before joining Gus. ................................................ "I'm telling you this is just a waste of our time." Lassiter yawned as they walked into the jail. "Carlton let's just get through this and then we can go do real police work." Juliet said. "O'Hara this guy has been in jail four years. There is no way in hell he did it no matter what your boyfriend says." He tried to explain to her. "Carlton just talk to him unless you want me too." "Fine". He walked into the room. ............ "Patrick Grante". He asked walking in.
"Detective Lassiter. Your the cop that arrested me." The prisoner said calmly.

"Yes I am". Lassiter said proudly.

"Yes but you weren't the one to solve the case were you? No that was the work of your loud obnoxious childish psychic."

Lassiter looked at the ground a little offended by that remark. "Well....". He started but couldn't seem to finish. The thought of Spencer being better than him made him feel like he had been shot multiple times.

"That's what I thought". Patrick finished with a smug smile. "Anyways your here about the body. I'd love to help really would but I don't take kindly to cops. Not even the pretty blonde one in the other room".

"Your going to help us you son of a bitch." Lassie said through gritted teeth.

"Really I would love too but I'm only talking to that psychic of yours and his goofy partner. I know they have been put on the case.".

"Why would you want to talk to those clowns." Lassie asked confused.

"The psychic is interesting. He's the only one of all of you that I have yet to figure out." Patrick laughed.

"What do you mean figure out?"

"I already told you the psychic. But you have seemed to make me a little angry so keep the goofy partner outside the door." He said.

"Fine but you will have to wait for them to get here." Lassie said motioning to Juliet to call them.

"Why do you want to talk to Spencer."

"I need to figure him out for my plan to work". Patrick stated admitting just enough to keep Lassiter guessing.

"Why do you need to figure him out."

"Shouldn't you go. I've made my demands and I'm not sharing anything with you. This is between me and the psychic. Your already mixed up in this enough as it is don't jeoprodize your family too." Patrick said knowing that would scare Lassie.

Lassiters mind went wild thinking about Marlowe and his unborn son.

"Leave them out of this." He shot back.

"Like I said my only intentions are of talking with the psychic."

Lassiter left the room just as Shawn walked in alone.

"Shawn Spencer long time no see. I thought for sure you would visit me."

"Why would I ever visit you." Shawn asked surprised.

"Well its not nice to put a man behind bars then not visit."

"Really I do that to pretty much everyone. Man I always forget jail courtesy." Shawn joked.

"Wow your the one who was able to catch me? Can you even tie your own shoes."

"Well usually but sometimes I just can't get the bunny through the hole. I hate when that happens." A loud knock on the door from Lassie made Shawn remember why he was here.

"Right". Shawn gave Lassie a thumbs up making him roll his eyes.

"Oh good now we are going into the interrogation.." Patrick said still surprised at how dumb the psychic was.

"Okay let's start with were you involved with the murder of Andrew......". He started when Patrick interupted.

"Of course I was but you know that or else you would not be here."

"That is true. Next is how did you do it."

"Oh Shawn your not expecting an answer from me is that how these interrogations work but ill tell you anything except for one thing."

"Great answer the question." Shawn said a little confused.

"I hired my men. Sent them after a target and they know what to do."

"The target was Andrew?" Shawn asked.

"No Shawn." Patrick said thinking that would faze him but it didn't.

"Why are killers obsessed with me". Shawn asked referring to the Yin Yang killer.

"Wow you keep surprising me by the minute that usually scares away everyone." Patrick said.

"Yeah well I'm not scared of anything".

"Of course you are everyone is don't be ashamed."

"Back to the case at hand who are the guys."

"I'm sorry Shawn that is something I can't tell you." Patrick said.

"Alright what's your plan then."

"Well Shawn Spencer its all about you now. But I can't give away the ending all I can tell you is you won't have me around to tell you much more information." Patrick said.

Shawn got up and left the room.

"Is he planning suicide". Juliet asked thinking about his words.

"Maybe. I say you and Lassie watch him for a little bit." Shawn said pulling Gus aside.

"Man he's not planning suicide". Shawn said to Gus.

"What? You just told Jules he was. She's gonna get mad at you for lying." Gus rambled.

"No I said maybe and we can't tell the cops everything. Do you want to know what he's doing or not?"

"I'm not sure".

"He's gonna break out of jail."

"How that's impossible he will have top security on his jail cell."

"Let's figure that out back at the psych office. We are working to close to the actual cops". Shawn said disgusted with himself.
........................

At the psych office Shawn and Gus thought of ways he could break out with the cops around.

"Man what is he gonna do?" Gus asked annoyed.

"I don't know man I'm not actually psychic." Shawn joked

"Man this guy is dangerous and obsessed with you can't you think of something?"

"Well he told Lassie he doesn't like cops so he would want to kill as many of them as he could." Shawn said and then thought for a moment.

"What"? Gus asked knowing Shawns look.

"He wants to kill some cops and get out of jail. He's gonna use tear gas in the police station and kill all cops in his way of getting out." Shawn said worried.

"Oh no"

"We need to get to Jules and Lassie."
........................................

"How long are we gonna be here". Lassie complained.

Ring ring

Juliet answered her phone. "Shawn? What? Oh my god! Really. This is not the time for jokes." Then she hung up.

"Carlton we need to get out of here now get as many officers as possible."

"She looked at the vents which looked alright a minute ago but looked different now".

Many officers made it out but most of them had felt the effects of the tear gas and were in pain. Juliet and Lassiter were no different even though they had less of it than others. Some officers unfortunate enough not to get out lost their lives. Some still lived. One thing for sure Patrick was gone.

"Ugh I can't believe even with a warning he still got out." Juliet said

"O'Hara there was nothing to do we didn't know about the tear gas until it started." Lassiter explained.

"Jules are you alright?!" Shawn came running in.

"What yeah but he escaped what are we gonna do." She asked crying.

"Don't worry how many cops died?" Shawn asked worriedly.

"They counted seven cops in all." Lassie answered looking at his crying partner.

"Don't worry Jules we will find him". Shawn said.

..........................................

Shawn and Gus went back to the psych office to think since they thought better without police present.

"Man he killed eight cops". Gus exclaimed.

"He's not done man he's got some sort of obsession with me which I completely understand but I just don't go that way."

"Really man I'm pretty he sure he wants to kill you."

"Man you don't know that."

"Shawn look I think he left you a letter on your desk."

"Great man why don't you open it."

"No way its always the black guy to open it nu uh". Gus said shaking his head.

"Fine". He opened the letter and read it out loud.

Dear Shawn,
Honestly I did not expect you to figure out my plan. You really are as smart as I thought you were. Yet I do think you act like a child but somewhere there is a brain in there. Now as you know I wanted to kill many more police man than I did but there is time later. You can't save them all the time. I think I know a way to get you but if I tell you you would change it. Haha but don't fear I hate writing letters I want to talk to you over the phone midnight tonight. NO OTHERS. Not even Burton. Anyone who listens other than you will DIE. There is a phone under your desk. Talk soon, Patrick Grante.

"Dammit".

"Relax". Gus said.

"Gus he is escaped and he has his mind set to torture me ".

"Yeah but.... man I can't think of anything your screwed."

"Thanks buddy" he said sarcastically.
....................................

11:58 pm Shawn got out of bed hoping Juliet wouldn't hear him.

"Where are you going"

He tried to think quickly. "Um bathroom might take a while". He said this knowing Patrick was not going to just get to the point.

"Okay"

He ran to the bathroom and picked up the phone he called the only number oon it. After three rings a man answered.

"Hello". A deep voice said.

"I need to speak with Patrick now".

"Who is this" the voice demanded.

"Shawn Spencer."

"Hahahaha he knew you would call. Hey Patrick get over here."

"Shawn how nice of you to call. I was getting scared you wouldn't." Patrick stated

"Look why did you want me to call."

"To tell you I've been studying you."

"Your worst case ever was Yin. He tried to kill you. I understand that except his reason was a little different then mine."

"Your small potatoes compared to Yin." Shawn said turning it into a joke.

"I also learned you turn events into jokes to calm yourself down. Anyways this game is far from over just wait until tomorrow which is the start of event number one. You are to call me tomorrow at midnight or someone dies understand."
"Yes". And the phone went dead.

He walked back into his room and layed back next to Juliet thinking about what Patrick was talking about.
.................................
The next morning

Lassiter woke up next to his 9 month pregnant wife Marlowe. He looked at the time 8:00. He got up and got ready for work. He walked outside.

"Bye Marlowe". He called getting into his car. But before he got to drive away the car blew up and he blacked out.
................................

At the police station.

"So what did he say last night." Gus asked. Him and Shawn were sitting at Juliets desk while she talked to the chief.

"Man nothing really. Just something about Event number one. I'm calling him again tonight".

"Why would you do that."

"Shut up Jules is coming."

"So we don't have anything on Patrick's whereabouts yet do you guys know anything." Juliet said just as her phone rang. She answered it. Then she hung up. "We need to get to the hospital NOW." She said.
................................

At the hospital.

"Oh my god is he okay." Juliet said coming up to Marlowe.

"I don't know they said there was a lot of blood loss and they are having trouble with some internal bleeding." She answered.

Shawn and Gus turned around to talk about the case.

"Oh my god he blew up Lassie!" Shawn exclaimed.

"Lassie is gonna be so mad when he wakes up." Gus stated.

"Yeah make sure we are far away when he wakes up."

"Okay so last night did Patrick tell you anything about this."

"Not this specifically but I'm pretty sure this is just event number one."

"Awww man he actually said number one".

"Yes but we need to get to the crime scene man there are always clues there."
................................

At the crime scene.

"Hey Buzz how ya doing?" Shawn said walking over.

"It was a bomb on his seat. What if he dies." Mcnabb answered.

Shawns face got serious thinking of the poor head detective in the hospital hanging on to his life. Gus noticed this.

"Okay Buzz we are gonna go investigate now". Gus said breaking the conversation

"Alright this guy is insane. He's playing with bombs now." Shawn said.

"Yeah seems like he doesn't have a weapon of choice."

"Gus let's look around."

After a half hour of snooping they found nothing.

"Man there is nothing here." Shawn complained.

"I know this guy is good."

"Wait man where do you think he got this bomb?" Shawn asked thinking.

"How am I supposed to know he probably made it".

"No then he wouldn't have enough people in on the crime. Besides I know I've seen that bomb before." Shawn answered.

"Okay so who gave him the bomb." Gus asked still confused.

"Man I don't know. Do I look like Im going around buying bombs? but I do know someone who might know who sold him this type of bomb." Shawn said with a mysterious voice.
.............................

At the Psych office.

"Despereaux man long time no see." Shawn said loudly.

"Shawn why would he know who the guy is." Gus asked cautiously.

"Because he's the most amazing criminal this world has seen."

"Really".

"I'm right here". Despereaux said annoyed.

"Right Pierre is it". Shawn asked.

"You know my name." He said even more annoyed.

"Yes okay do you know where we could find this type of bomb?" Shawn asked.

"Why. What are you planning on blowing up." Pierre asked now amused.

"You know its for a case ". Gus chimed in.

"I don't know the guy who sells these." He answered smartly.

"Man". Shawn said

"I told you". Gus answered.

"Wait. But I do know that he does business in a warehouse on Chestnut street at the end." Pierre said through the chaos.

"Hear that Gus let's go".

"Wait. You do realize they will kill you if you if they know who you are." Pierre warned."
.............................

At the warehouse.

"So how are we gonna do this." Gus asked.

"I don't know I was hoping you would have a plan".

"Great".

"Fine just don't make eye contact we are here to buy a deadly bomb. And we are criminals." Shawn explained.

They went inside.

"Hey man that must be the guy we talk to." Shawn said.

"Man what do we ask him."

"Gus just follow my lead." Shawn said walking up to him.

"Shawn no". Gus said following.

"Hello. I am Shawn and this is my partner Scruffy T. You can call him Scruff." The guy snarled. "Okay um we were wondering where you keep the good bombs." Shawn said hopefully.

"Right follow me." The man answered.
They walked down stairs.

"I'm sorry but I believe its common courtesy for you to tell us your name." Shawn said.

"Kevin". He snarled.

"Great now Kevin we are here to buy a bomb that matches the description of one our boss bought earlier."

"Oh yeah do you happen to know the name of the bomb".

"Nope we are just the middle men."

"Well I can't help you."

"Wait it blows up when pressure is on it. Especially when a poor irish man sits on it." Shawn explained.

"Hey I'm irish" Kevin said angrily.

"Really you don't look irish. Scottish maybe?."

"Anyways I know the bomb your talking about here it is."the guy said holding it up.

"Wait we need to make sure our bosses were the ones who bought it before." Gus said.

"Can you tell us what the last guys who bought it looked like". Shawn asked him and Gus both were moving towards the door knowing they would have to run to avoid purchasing a bomb.

"One dark brown hair and brown eyes about 5'10. The other was a ginger around 6'6 really tall."

"Yep that's them". Shawn and Gus answered in unison. They both bolted out the door. Before jumping in the Blueberry they heard a gunshot. It didn't stop them and they drove away.
...................
Back at the hospital.

"Ahem. Family of Carlton Lassiter." A doctor said

"Yes that's me I'm Marlowe Lassiter Is he gonna be okay??"

"He's stable for now you can probably see him in about an ho ur."

"Thank you!" Marlowe said hugging Juliet.

Shawn and Gus walked in seconds later.

"Hey Jules. Hey Marlowe." Shawn said casually.

"Where have you been while Carlton has been in there bleeding out Shawn." Juliet said angrily.

"I've been investigating the the person that put the bomb on Lassie's car."

"Really what did you find out?" She asked interested.
He told Juliet what they found out and stayed at the hospital with them for the rest of the day since Gus had to go to his Real job.

They went home around 9:00 and fell asleep. Shawn woke up at 12:30 realizing he forgot to call.

He ran to the bathroom. After two rings Patrick picked up.

"Shawn I was afraid you wouldn't call. Iwould have had to kill someone what a shame that would be."

"Shut up you asshole. You tried to kill Lassie."

"Oh no if I tried to kill him he would be dead by now."

"Then what was the bomb for."

"Don't worry there is time for people to die later".

"Oh yeah what was the point on hurting Lassie."

"My first step in getting to you."

"I will catch you".

"Man figuring out the bomb thing was genius I didn't think you would get that."

"I did and I will get you too."

"Yes well Event number two takes place at some point next week call me midnight after that. Goodbye Shawn!."

"Wait Dammit".
He walked out of the bathroom and went to his bedroom.

"Shawn what's going on". Juliet asked sitting up in the bed.

"Nothing Jules just had to go".

"Shawn I'm a detective and your a bad liar."

"Fine Jules but you can't follow me or listen to my conversations in the bathroom."

"What?"

"Patrick Grante and I have been having conversations at midnight and he has been giving me clues."

"Why didn't you tell me this last night".

"Because I knew you would follow and he said whoever else listens dies Jules."

"We need to tell the chief about this".
...........................

The next three days were sad ones Shawn got no new leads and Lassie still hadn't woken up. Even worse Marlowe had had the baby while Carlton was in a coma and he wasn't there to be with her. Marlowe was angry at that. On the fourth day though he woke up. Juliet was sitting in the room with him since Marlowe was with her new little boy.

"Carlton your awake!" Juliet nearly screamed.

"Yeah what happened."

"Oh a bomb blew up on you. But your fine know just a concussion."

"Who did this I'm gonna put a bullet through their skull."

"Patrick Grante."

"Where's Marlowe?"

"I'm sorry Carlton the baby was born while you were in a coma."

"You mean she was alone". Carlton asked as he started crying.

"Carlton its okay they are both okay."

"Where are they".

"Ill go see if I can find her".

"Hey Lassie face your awake." Shawn said walking in.

"Shawn you told me he was dead". Gus yelled.

"No I'm pretty sure I said coma".

"No you didn't."

"Guster I'm alive. And spencer your an idiot."

"Wow Lassie I come to visit you and this is how you treat me."

"Wait I thought we were here for the chicken in the cafeteria." Gus cut in.

"Shhh Lassie doesn't need to know that."

"Amazing how you two clowns can joke when I've been in the hospital for five days. Now get out."

"Wait Lassie where is Jules?"

"Looking for Marlowe."

Shawn and Gus went down to the cafeteria.

"Carlton I found them." Juliet said walking in with Marlowe and their new son.

"Marlowe." Is all he could say he felt so bad he wasn't thre for her when she neded him.

Juliet left the room.

"Are you alright" she asked

"Yes can I see him?"

"His name is Ryan". She said handing him the baby.

"I can't believe I wasn't there."

"Carlton do you ever think that maybe your job is a little to um I don't now dangerous."

"Maybe a little but I'm fine."

"Look I'm just saying maybe its time you should find a safer job."

"Marlowe I love my job" he said hurt that she wanted him to quit now while he was on a case. He wanted to gut the son of a bitch that tried to kill him.

"Carlton you almost died i need you." Marlowe said almost in tears.

"Marlowe I need to get him. Now I need to check out of this prison I have a case to solve."

"Did you even listen to me?"

"Of course but if I let Spencer solve the case alone nothing will get done right even with O'Hara on this".

"Alright I will go see if they will allow you to be released".

As she left Shawn and Gus walked in.

"well if it isnt tweedle dee and tweedle dumb."

"Um Lassie am I tweedle dee or tweedle dumb?" Shawn asked

"Spencer what are you doing back here I thought you two went to go stuff your faces with the crap in the cafeteria."

"We did but Gus got nauseous after eating under cooked chicken."

"Wheres O'Hara". He asked with an annoyed voice.

"I dont know. Hey its Lassie number 2". Shawn said pointing to the baby in Lassie's arms.

"Shawn I think im gonna". Gus started but he puked all over Lassie and the baby he was holding.

"GUSTER". Lassie screeched and Juliet ran into the room.

"Carlton what happened to you". She asked.

"Ask your boyfriend and his boyfriend". Lassie answered. Shawn and Gus exchanged confused glances.

"Shawn what did you do to Carlton."

"It wasnt me and Gus is not my boyfriend". He said indignantly.

"It was not my fault either it is the hospital food and you would be lucky to have me as your boyfriend." Gus shot back.

"Guys!". Juliet called

"Yes Jules."

"I dont care anymore we need to talk about the case we havent gotten a lead in days."

"Dont worry O'Hara Im back on the case so you wont have to deal with these ideiots anymore." Lassiter assured her.

"Wait Carlton are you sure you have barely been awake for two hours."

"O'Hara I am going to solve this case."

...............................................

The next day all four of them were sitting in the police station trying to get a lead.

"Spencer shouldnt you be able to have something psychicly?" Lassiter asked annoyed by waiting at the station so long.

"Man we have known eachother eight years you should know how it works by know."Spencer shot back.

"We have been here for six hours and got nothing." Gus complained.

"Shawn is there anything you can tell us." Juliet asked referring to the phone call he made to Patrick Grante.

"Wait.Im getting that they are planning on striking at some point this week im not getting an exact date but definetely this week but sadly there is nothing more I can give you." Shawn said hoping that would shut them up.

"Great Spencer." Lassie started.

"Shawn I need to talk to you." Henry Spencer said walking in.

"What I was in the middle of attempting to solve a case." Shawn complained.

"oh yeah. I've been following that case. Patrick Grante. Shawn he is a dangerous man."

"Dad why are you following my cases its kind of weird."

"Shawn everyone at the station is talking about it. He killed seven cops."

"Okay what are you doing down at the station your not a detective anymore."

"Shawn seriously be careful I saw what he did to Lassiter. Is he going after people that worked on the case?"

"I'm not sure. If he is he has a creepy way of telling me."

"what do you mean telling you. are you telling me you have conversations with this psychopath."

"Yes but little itty bitty ones".

"SHAWN".

"Look I have to go but dont worry dad I will be fine." Shawn said running out the door.

...................................................

The next day was the same as before but the day after something changed. Shawn and Juliet woke up in the morning and did what the usually did Juliet called Lassiter and Shawn called Gus.

"Hey Carlton".

"Hey O'Hara any new leads".

"No me and Shawn just talked it over again and nothing."

"Alright I'm on my way to the station now:. He said sounding kind of sad.

"Carlton be careful getting in your car and is something wrong?"

"Its me and Marlowe have been fighting"

"Oh no about what".

"My job".

"Oh alright well I'll see you at the station partner bye."

Shawn and Gus' conversation.

"Gus you can not work your other job today."

"Shawn I am on my way to the doctors house NOW."

"Come on man we have a huge case."

"Yes but I have another job Shawn."

"Fine how many".

"I have two but I..... OH SHIT.". Gus yelled. The last thing over the phone Shawn heard was loud banging.

"GUS. GUS. GUS."

Shawn ran outside driving his Norton to see what happened. He got there just in time to see a big truck hit together with a small blue Echo. Then he saw them lifting Gus into the ambulance. He jumped in with him.

"Gus buddy can you hear me". He asked as the ambulance pulled away.

"mmmhh Shawn". Gus mumbled in pain.

"Gus your gonna be fine." Shawn said looking down at a piece of a pipe in Gus' leg

They got to the hospital and they pulled Gus automatically into surgery. Before Shawn could catch himself he started to cry. He heard Lassie and Jules coming so he ran to the bathroom so they wouldnt see him cry. After a few minutes he heard someone come in.

"Shawn its okay if your upset." He heard Juliets voice.

"Jules what are you doing in here?"

"I figured you would rather me come in more than Lassiter."

"Jules this is event number two".

"Shawn its okay to cry in front of Lassiter."

"Jules I have to call him again tonight. He has gone way to far now!" Shawn said. He pulled himself together and walked out of the bathroom.

"Shawn wait Im going to tell the chief".

"Jules why?"

"Burton Guster"? A doctor asked.

"Yep". Shawn answered.

"How is he". Juliet asked.

"He is not doing very well by morning we will know if he will make it". The doctor said.

Shawn turned to run away again but was grabbed by his father.

"Shawn i am not gonna let you run away from this." Henry said

"I'm not running away I'm going to catch the bitch that did this to Gus." Shawn answered struggling to keep himself from breaking down.

"Shawn even if you do catch this guy which you will if Gus dies you and I both know you wont be sticking around Santa Barbara. Because when something bad hits you go running."

"Dad this is Gus He is the main reason I came back to Santa Barbara. The only person that has always been in my life. The only one that I have never kept secrets from. I will not run I promise you that".

After saying that Shawn walked away knowing if he talked any longer he would be on the floor crying his eyes out to the point of dehydration.

It was now ten at night and everyone had left but Shawn who wasnt leaving for the world. He sat in the room with Gus looking at all of his cuts. All of a sudden the Chief 3 officers, Lassie and Juliet walked in.

"What are you doing here". Shawn asked immediately.

"We are tracking the phone call you are gonna make in 2 hours." The chief answerd.

"No chief someone dies if anyone else listens." Shawn argued.

"Mr. Spencer this man killed 7 officers there is no way i am passing off the chance to nail his ass."

"But" Shawn tried to argue but realized it wouldnt work this time.

Two hours later Shawn made the call.

"Shawn Spencer I thought you were smarter than this. But I guess you can blame the chief for the body you will find in the morning. My rules were clear no one else listens maybe tomorrow when you call me at midnight you will listen better. Good bye Shawn We can talk about Event 3 tomorrow." Then the line went dead.

"I told YOU". He screamed at everyone in the room.

"Mr. Spencer."

"No all of you get out of here now we are going to have a body tomorrow! and its all your fault"

Everyone started to leave.

"Wait Jules I want you to stay". He said hoping she wasnt mad about his outburst. He didnt want to be alone. Juliet stayed in the room.

"Shawn I understand if your mad at me too." She said with her eyes watering.

"Jules Im not mad at you, You only did your job by telling the chief." He said hugging her. At first though he was mad at her but he wasnt anymore after he thought it over. Once he did all of his anger went towards the chief.

"Shawn you should really go home."

"Jules I cant leave Gus alone. But if you want to go you can."

"Im not gonna leave you here alone Shawn."

They both slept on the recliner chair in Gus' room that night. In the morning they woke up to Lassiter making a noise standing in front of them.

"Carlton what are you doing here." Juliet asked.

He looked down at the floor not making eye contact with either of them."uhm O'Hara there has been a body".He said. Juliet looked at Shawn.

"Alright lets go". She said slowly.

"Actually I'm gonna stay here with Gus." Shawn said.

"Alright". Lassie said thankfully.

An hour later Shawn heard that Gus was gonna be fine but would need crutches for a little while. At hearing this Shawn was smiling. TO make his day better Gus woke up for like fifteen minutes before falling back to sleep but Shawn didnt blame him for that.

A few hours later Juliet walked in she looked like a mess her face was red and wet. Her hair in a messy bun. Shawn noticed and walked out.

"Jules you okay".

"No Shawn I need to tell you....." She didnt finish because she started crying. Shawn immediately hugged her.

"Spencer there is something you need to know about the victim." Lassiter said seeing his partner fail to tell hiim.

"what?"

"Her name was Madeline Spencer."

Shawn let go of Juliet and stormed out of the hospital. He raced down to the police station and marched down to the coroners office.

"Woody I need to see the body."

"Okay which one I have quite a feeeww."

"Madeline Spencer"

"Sorry Shawn Im under strict orders to not show you that one body."

"Woody what will it take for you to show me the body?"

"Bring me cheese everyday for a month"

"done".

"All right here she is. stabbed many times pretty much everywhere. My opinion the second one killed her but this is weird after the stabbed her they seemed to have skinned parts of her body."

Shawn fainted. A few minutes later Juliet and Lassiter walked in.

"Woody you werent supposed to show him the body". Lassiter growled. While Juliet tried to wake up Shawn.

Woody put the body away so he doesnt faint again". Juliet yelled.

Shawn woke up an hour later In his house.

"Jules?" he called wondering if he was alone.

"Shawn your awake." Juliet came wandering in.

"Jules did he actually kill my mom." He asked voice quivering.

"Yes". She answered softly letting a tear fall from her eye.

They hugged eachother and cried for a little over an hour until they both fell asleep. At 11:30 they were awoken from their sleep by a knock on the door. They answered it to see Lassiter.

"I was afraid you guys would miss the phone call so I came by to tell Spencer not to mess it up."

"Dont worry Lassifrass I got this but you and Jules cant listen."

"We wont", they promised.

"Okay". He said walking into the bathroom.

"Shawn did you get my message about how important it is that no one else listens." Patrick said on the other line.

"Of course I did you sick bastard. But you did make a few mistakes in your plan to kill Gus and my mom." Shawn said.

"Oh yes is Burton dead yet."

"No the doctor said he would be fine."

"Hmm those idiots I told them to take the kill shot.'

'Yeah well I guess it backfired. Now im closer to getting you."

"Well your mom is dead isnt she. No bringing her back." Patrick said angrily.

"No there isnt but when we track the truck to its owner which Im sure you stole it maybe he can give us some information."

"Really I doubt he can give you much." He said proudly.

"Even so I also know you have an inside man working on the police force. It wont take long to catch him now will it."

"You wont know which one he is." He said unsure.

"I already do. Goodbye." Shawn said calmly.

...........................................

Shawn, Juliet, and Lassie ran to the hospital to see a man in a police uniform sneaking around in Gus' room.

"SBPD freeze". Lassiter yelled standing in front of the man.

"Put the weapon down". Juliet said.

Shawn just stood there since he didnt have a weapon and a killer isnt going to listen to what he says. The man put the gun down.

.............................................................

In the interrogation rooom.

"Officer Dobson what the hell? Your an officer of the force. You helped a man bomb me." Lassiter said shocked.

"I want to talk to Shawn. He needs to know the truth. I didnt want to hurt him."

"Why does everyone want to talk to Spencer."

"Hes the only one here who actually knows my first name."

"Fine Spencer get in here."

Shawn walked in and Lassie walked out.

"Shawn Im sorry." He said.

Shawn was surprised then angry."What do you mean your sorry? You killed my mom. You almost killed my best friend. and you bombed Lassie".

"Hey im the only reason Gus is alive. Patrick wanted to kill him.".

"What?"

"Alright let me tell you the story then I will answer any questions you have. I was at Patrick's prison cell when he talked to me. He said that he knew I was under appreciated at the station and that he could change that. At first I refused then I saw the bastard Lassiter so I then said I would help. I was at first fine with blowing up his car but when he said we should kill Gus I couldnt say yes. So I rigged the truck to try and make the impact less for him but it didnt work so well and Gus still got badly hurt. When they went to kill your mother I said NO I didnt want to hurt you. But I coukdnt stop them."

"How many people are in the group?" Shawn asked

" Five now since I'm not in it anymore."

"No your not your going to jail for life."

.................................

Shawn left and went to the hospital to be with Gus since the doctor said he would wake up soon.

"Gus buddy how ya doing." He asked rushing in

"Shawn I was hit with a truck how do you think?"

"Well your already complaining thats a good sign."

"Shawn when am I allowed out of this god awful place"?

"I dont know. I will ask the doctor."

"Gus guess what you can leave tomorrow."

"Goood now where are my drugs."

......................................................

that night Shawn made the phone call.

"Shawn you caught a member of my grroup. Im surprised. You found him I was sure you trusted him."

"Cut the crap. Event number 3 when is it. Who is it???"

"Tomorrow Shawn. Tomorrow." the line went dead.

............................................

The next day Shawn was on edge. He wanted to be around everyone at all times watching them all. He watched Gus like a hawk. When he wasnt watching Gus he was watching Juliet and Lassiter, When they got sick of him he would be watch ing Henry. He was at the hospital with Gus.

"Shawn he probably just wants to scare you with this Event 3 business." Gus said looking at Shawn squirming.

"Gus he almost killed you and Lassie. Hes gonna try more I know it."

Just then the doctor came in with the release forms for Gus. Shawn and Gus walked out and Gus was using the crutches the doctor gave him.

"Man I need to get the Cranberry since the Blueberry is in the shop." Gus complained.

"Wait how are we gonna get you home".

"Man I forgot you dont have a car."

"Dont worry I'll call Jules she can give us a ride."

twenty minutes later Juliet and Lassiter pulled up in Lassiter's car.

"Lassie face". Shawn exclaimed.

"Spencer we dont have time for this theres been a body found by an old warehouse."

Shawn and Gus jumped in the car.

.........................................

Shawn looked around something was wrong if this was Event number 3 then why didnt he know the person they found dead. Something was missing.

"Gus this doesnt seem right".

"I know this place gives me the creeps."

"No i mean this doesnt match Patricks MO.

"Maybe this wasnt Patrick." Gus suggested.

"May......". Shawn stopped mid sentenced noticing the gun up in the trees that was pointed directly at Juliet. Before much thinking could be done he jumped in front of her. The bullet went right into his arm. he screamed in pain but didnt pass out.

"Shawn what was that". Juliet asked shocked at what had just happened.

"Jules he was gonna shoot you in the heart," Shawn answered through the pain.

"Okay Shawn Carlton has already called an ambulance."

"Okay good cuz I would rather not stand here and have my arm gushing blood forever."

Eventually he blacked out from losing to much blood because he didnt know what happened next.

..............................................

He awoke in a hospital bed with Juliet and Gus in the room with him.

"Hey Shawn." Gus said

"Buddy did I solve the case yet?" Shawn asked excitedly

"NO you idiot you got shot." Gus answered.

"But you did save my life". Juliet cut in.

"Alright then how much time did I lose."

"You were out for about 4 hours." Gus answered.

"Great lets get out of here before I suffocate". Shawn said making a face.

..................................................................

They went back to Shawn and Juliets house.

For the rest of the day Shawn and Gus watched the Mentalist and ate candy forgetting somewhat about the case they had for a day to recover. Juliet and Lassiter did not do that the were working their asses off trying to come up with a lead but all dead ends. They were shocked when Shawn told them to track the gun with the bullet. How did they not think if that.

By nine o'clock Gus went to Henry's house where he was staying a while or atleast until Patrick was put in Jail.

Author's Notes:
This one is shorter than the other
That night Shawn called Patrick not sure if he was supposed to or not.

"Shawn you called how unexpected." Patrick answered sarcastically.

"you friggen shot me." Shawn snapped.

"Hey my men werent aiming for you. Your the one who stepped in front of the pretty blonde detective. Whats her name? Uhm Juliet."

"Were you trying to kill her?"

"I was but I am getting more annoyed with you by the minute. Its time to come after my target...... YOU." The line went dead and Shawn threw the phone to the ground. He walked out of the bathroom.

"Shawn are you alright?" A concerned Juliet asked.

"No Jules he got his end game coming. Im pretty sure Gus was right he wants to kill me."

"Shawn we found a trace on the bullet. We know the guys name and we found the gun in his trash can."

"Whats the name?"

"Edgar Bretman." Shawn had a look on his face that made Juliet think he was thinking. He stormed out of the house and went straight to the hospital. Juliet followed him but she couldnt keep up with Shawn when he was on his motorcycle and she was in her car. She called Lassiter and told him to hurry to the hospital not knowing why Shawn was going there.

.......................................

Shawn walked into the hospital and went straight for the room Doctor Brown was in.

"Hello Dr.Brown. I should have known he would have an inside man at the hospital too."

"Excuse me". The doctor said right before Shawn punched him in the face.

" You wanted to finish the job with Gus by killing him but you couldnt because Dobson wouldnt let you. Is that right?" Shawn said punching him again.

"Mr. Spencer I dont know what your talking about."

"Oh shut up Edgar I know thats your name. Want to know how I know that". Shawn asked getting ready to punch him again. He was stopped by Lassiter running in pulling Shawn off of the doctor.

"Spencer your acting insane." Lassiter said looking at the doctors face which had a little blood on it.

"Lassie arrest him. He is Edgar Bretman." Shawn answered.

"Spencer he is Jacob Brown." Lassie said trying to calm Shawn down.

"Lassie no I noticed on his signature when he signed he messed up he wrote Ed then scribbled it out to look like Jacob. Even if thats not enough their signatures look exactly the same." Shawn exclaimed.

Lassie turned to look at the doctor. Before he could reach for his gun Edgar grabbed Lassie and put a knife to his neck.

"Wow Shawn you really are as smart as Patrick says you are."

"Well its a talent". Shawn said forgetting about Lassie for a minute.

"SPENCER". Lassie screeched.

"Shut up you. Its a shame I have to kill you both." Edgar said calmly.

"SBPD drop the knife". O'Hara said walking into the room.

"Jules your here." Shawn said surprised.

"Edgar you need to drop the knife". Juliet tried.

"NO way i need to kill them". Edgar said.

"Wait Edgar think of what Patrick wants he doesnt want Lassie dead thats not the Event he wants." Shawn tried to convince him to let Lassie go.

"What?" He asked confused.

"You will make Patrick mad if you kill Lassie. He wants you to kill me for this Event if you change it he will kill you instead and you dont want that now do you?" Shawn explained. Juliet and Lassie looked at him with confused faces he was literally telling Edgar to kill him instead.

"Your right". Edgar said nerviously letting Carlton go. He lunged at Shawn to stab him instead. Two gunshots rang out and Edgar was flat on the floor dead as a doornail.

"Carlton are you okay?" Juliet asked right away.

"O'Hara you killed him." Was what Lassie was able to say.

"Shawn what was that?" She asked giving Carlton a minute to catch himself.

"Well I figured Patrick's team is scared to disapoint him. I also know that their next step was not to kill Lassie so that helped.

"Then why did you tell him to come for you instead?"

"Because I was hoping you would shoot him in time." Shawn answered.

"SHAWN!"

"Okay but know this is good there are only four more people." He said happily.

"Thats four too many no come on lets get Carlton home I think hes in shock."

..............................................

Around 1 oclock in the afternoon since they were up late with Edgar. In the Psych office.

"Gus I'm telling you, you totally missed me save Lassie's life. It was AWESOME."

"Shawn i am tired last night all your dad did was snore and shake the house." Gus complained.

"Oh I'm sorry man did you forget I was at the hospital for most of the night catching a bad guy."

"Shawn you seem a little too happy I mean there are still four people left and he still wants to kill you."

'I know but when he does kill me I hope that he lets me decide how i'm gonna die."

"OH MY GOD Shawn you said when not if but when. You think hes gonna kill you!! And your acting totally Cool with it!! Oh my god. We need to see Jules and Lassie."

"Come on I'm fine."

"Shawn are you on drugs."

"What no way."

"Then what is wrong with you."

"I have just come to realize the fact that there is nothing I can do."

Gus took a few steps back before shoving Shawn into the Cranberry and driving him to the Police Station.

"Jules, Lassie hes gone insane."

"Guster what are you talking about." Gus explained everything.

"Oh my God whats wrong with him". Juliet asked.

"I dont know but he needs a shock back into reality". Gus stated.

"How do we do that?" Juliet asked.

"I have an idea. but he wont like it." Lassie said.

Ten minutes later Gus, Juliet , and Lassie had dragged Shawn down to the morgue. Gus looked terrified. When they got there Woody uncovered the body. Gus screamed very loudly. Juliet flinched. Lassie's eyes just widened. Shawn took one look and fainted for the second time.

An hour later Shawn woke up still on the floor of the moorgue with everyone hovering over him.

"Shawn are you alright." He heard Juliet ask.

"Jules my mom is dead on the table above me what do you think?"

"Actually Shawn thats not your mom its Edgar." Woody said.

"What you switched them while I was sleeping." Shawn asked confused.

"Yes we didnt want you to faint again." Juliet answered

"Alright then lets listen to this guys autopsy." Shawn said.

"Spencer we already know how he died." Lassiter cut in.

"Oh Lassie face lets just listen to Woody im sure he can tell us something."

"Fine". Lassie said.

"Okay. So this man was killed by two bullets to the chest obviously. Now it gets weird this man was in a fight prior to when he died." Woody said

"Woody we already know this Shawn punched him a few times." Juliet cut in.

"Yes but there are three sets of DNA on his hands. One belongs to Shawn. One belongs to Detective Lassiter. And we will have the third one soon."

"Great thats a lead how long until we get the results?" Juliet asked.

"i would say a few hours. But looking at him I would say that he was in a dusty place about 2 hours before his death."

"He must have been where Patrick Grante is hiding out do we have any idea about his whereabouts." Lassiter asked.

"NO. Woody call us when you have something," Juliet said before they all walked out.

Shawn didnt look so good so good so Gus decided they should go back to the Psych Office.

.................................

At the Psych Office.

"Man where could they be hiding out." Shawn asked

"I dont know but we cant play hungry hungry hippos all day". Gus stated.

"HEY. Hungry Hungry Hippos makes me feel better". Shawn said just as his phone rang.

"Hello". He answered.

"Shawn we got the name of the person off the body."

"Thats great Jules who is it."

"Shawn your not gonna like it."

"Jules I dont like any of this I'm Pretty sure I can handle this."

"Fine the DNA belonged to Jack Spencer."

"WHAT!! He killed my mom." Shawn yelled. Now he was ready to go hunting.

"Shawn"

"Jules I have to go."

..........................................

Shawn and Gus went back to Henry's house.

"Good hes not home." Shawn whispered.

"Shawn why is that a good thing". Gus asked confused at what they would find here.

"So we can snoop around without him asking questions."

"I see and why are we looking here."

"Gus if Uncle Jack was in town dont you think he would visit?"

"Yes probably." Gus answered.

"Here is what I think happened. Uncle Jack broke into my Dads house only to be confronted by Patrick Grante. Patrick must have promised Jack a lot of money and he accepted. Edgar and Jack got in a fight when they decided to kill my mom." Shawn finished with a quiver in his throat.

"That makes sense." Gus decided.

"Now to confirm my theory". Shawn said looking around then picking up a shiny penny. "Yep he was definetly here."

"How do we find him now." Gus asked.

"Man all Uncle Jack wants is money." Shawn answered with a strange smile.

"Shawn what are you gonna do." Gus asked nervously.

"I'll tell you on the way to the police station." Shawn said getting in the car.

.........................................

At the police station Shawn explained to Juliet and Lassie.

"Shawn this plan is ridiculous." Juliet said.

"No its genius Jules just look at it how I look at it money its the perfect way to get Jack to come". Shawn defended.

"Fine Shawn we will give it a try tomorrow."

"Thank You Jules."

.....................................

At Shawns house he went into the bathroom again to make a call.

"Shawn you have seemed to have killed one of my men now that wasnt nice at all."

"Well hello to you too." Shawn said happily.

"I know you have figured out a third member and I can probably guess which one" Patrick said nervously. Shawn was working fast at figuring out the group.

"Yes I have." Shawn answered. "NO we have nothing to talk about no do we mm no so goodbye!" Shawn hung up the phone happy that he had the upper hand.

................................................

The next morning down at the police station.

"Shawn we made the dumb flyers you wanted." Juliet said angrily

"Thanks Jules". Shawn said reading it over realizing this was definetly going to work.

.................................................

THIS IS WHAT THE FLYER SAID:

Missing Dog

Name:Ruby

Color: Yellow

Age: 3

Reward:500,000

If you find this dog please bring it to 134 reatten BLVD.

.................................

Shawn had known that it wouldnt make sense for someone not rich to offer 500,000 as a reward for a dog so he purposely chose the only rich person he knew would help, Declan Rand. That was the address on the flyer and Shawn knew Uncle Jack could not resist 500,000. there would be police officers there the whole time. They also planted some in the petshops to see if he showed there to buy the dog.

"Spencer nothing has happened all day maybe he saw through your little flyer". Lassiter said they were sitting inside Declan's house.

"There is no way that happened I made it myself". Declan said indignantly.

"Yes and we all know Declan is good at making missing dog signs". Shawn said.

"Shawn that is weird". Gus said.

"Thank you Shawn". Declan said not realizing the glares he was getting from Juliet.

"So when did you two become friends?" Juliet asked surprised they werent at eachothers throats.

"Yeah thats not important". Shawn cut in before Declan could respond. Then Juliet realized that Declan didnt know that her and Shawn had been dating. Before she could say something there was a loud knock on the door. Lassiter snuck a look out the window to see Jack holding a dog that matched the description on the flyer.

"Lets go." He said to all the officers as Juliet opened the door.

"SBPD". Jack turned to run but saw the officers surrounding him.

"Jack Spencer your under arrest." Lassiter said putting cuffs on him.

"For what bringing a missing dog home." He asked.

..............................................

At the interrogation room.

"Jack Spencer did you know Edgar Bretman?" Lassiter asked.

"What NO that name doesnt ring a bell." Jack said clearly lying.

"Oh yeah how about Gregory Dobson?" Lassiter said catching that Jack was lying.

"Uhm no I cant say I've heard that one before either."

"Really. This ones my favorite Patrick Grante."

"Okay so I know some of them". He said now sweating a lot.

"Yeah and what was your involvment in the bombings, murders, car accidents, shootings."

"NO. I did not murder Maddie I would never murder Maddie. Never even think about murder."

"So are you admitting to the rest." Lassie asked thinking he caught him.

"NO I did not hit Gus I was against that too."

"Oh really then what did you do?"

"I helped bomb you and I took Edgar's gun and took a shot at the blonde detective. I didnt know Shawn would jump in the way." That made Shawn angry his own Uncle shot him. Worse he was trying to shoot his girlfriend. He barged into the interrogation room and before Lassiter could stop him punched Jack in the face hard.

"SPENCER you have to stop going around punching the criminals." Lassie yelled.

Shawn just walked out of the room as if nothing had happened. Juliet looked at him. He was insane.

"Shawn what was that?" Juliet asked.

"Juliet that is my UNCLE he betrayed me he shot be and tried to shoot you!!" He looked like a mess. Juliet hugged him trying to calm him down. Lassiter walked in

"Spencer he wants to talk to you. By the way STOP giving people black eyes for gods sake."

"Sorry Lassie. I'll go appologize." Shawn said walking in.

"Guster go in with him." Lassie ordered.

Gus followed Shawn in.

"Jack what do you want." Shawn demanded.

"Shawn I need to warn you they want to kill you and wont stop unless you catch them or they catch you."

Shawn and Gus walked out of the station.

"Gus I cant do this. What does he want."

"Shawn there is only 3 more people left."

" Thats 3 people too many."

"Shawn lets take another break want to go to the Psych Office and play hungry hungry hippos?"

"Yes".

............................................

Juliet walked into the house to hear noises.

"Shawn is that you?" She asked reaching for her gun

"OH NO to bad you came home before he did". Was what she heard behind her before a piece of wood hit her on the head.

....................................................

Shawn walked into the house around 2 hours later. As he walked in he was surprised to not find Juliet. But to his horror found blood on the ground and a note that said:MIDNIGHT. He knew what it meant it was in a half hour he called the cops and Gus and Henry. After that he broke down sobbing. When he heard a knock on the door he dryed his eyes and tried to clean himself up.

"Spencer did he really take O'Hara?" Lassie asked entering the room.

"Yes and I'm calling him in five minutes." Just then Gus and some Officers walked in along with the chief.

"Mr. Spencer."

"Chief I am not letting you listen to the conversation no way in hell." Shawn said angrily.

"I know and I dont want too."

.....................................................

Shawn walked into the bathroom leaving the cops to their crime scene. After 4 rings Patrick answered.

"Shawn are you looking for someone?"

"You sick twisted son of a bitch. Let Jules GO!"

"No way what fun would that be."

"I will find you."

"We can make a deal an interesting one at that."

Chapter 3 by shules900
Author's Notes:
The last chapter
" Detective Lassiter Mr.Guster. Does Mr. Spencer usually take this long on his phone calls?" The chief asked since Shawn had been in the bathroom over an hour.

"NO I dont think he does." Gus answered.

"But chief he is probably asking stupid questions that will get us no where." Lassiter remarked.

"He has ten minutes before my men break down the door." The chief stated.

"Uhm chief what if he is you know going?"

"EWW". Lassiter said like a five year old kid."

10 minutes later The chief broke down the door to find nothing but the phone on the counter top of the bathroom

"What is the meaning of this". She ran out asking Gus and Lassie

"Uhm chief is there a note or anything." Lassie asked seeing how mad the chief was.

"No nothing he just disapeared out the bathroom window. why would he do that?" She asked obviously looking at Gus who just shrugged.

Gus' phone buzzed and he went into the other room to read the message.

It was from Shawn the words in it made tears fall from Gus' eyes.

THIS IS WHAT IT SAID:

Hey Gus made deal with Patrick man. I'm trading places with Jules to save her from being stuck with Patrick. I will miss you and Lassie and Jules and even my dad. Look this is probably goodbye. I will miss solving cases with you man. I cant believe i'm gonna die. Look make sure you find Jules we are meeting at the pier they said they would just leave her there. Gus DONT let my dad speak at my funeral PLEASE. Well bye Buddy.

Gus brought his phone out to show the chief and Lassiter. They raced to the pier and were there extremely fast but not fast enough. They found Juliet laying there still but breathing and concious.

"They took Shawn". She said moments after they found her

"Juliet where did they take Shawn." Gus asked worried.

"I dont know!" She said crying.

"O'Hara we are gonna need to talk to you to get Spencer back." Lassie told her.

"O'Hara what did it smell like. Lassie tried to get somewhere.

"It was musty". She said between sobs as the ambulance picked her up.

Gus went in with her.

"Juliet what did it feel like where you were."

"Gus I dont know it was dirty and I was sitting on something like straw".

"Jules how long did it take to get there".

"Gus I dont know I wasnt wearing a watch".

"Just an estimate."

"I dont know over an hour I guess."

"Jules you helped find Shawn more than you know."

..........................................

Shawn woke up to be really cold and a huge bump on his head. He opened his eyes a little and could see Patrick Grante and another man that Shawn might have met once. He listened to their conversation.

"What are we gonna do with him?" The man asked Patrick.

"My plan was murder after some torture do you have a better one Jeremy." Patrick asked.

"No but we are top priorty to the cops and the blonde one has been here."

"That is why your gonna handle her while I handle him."

"Me why dont you make Joy do it?"

Just then to Shawns astonishment in walked Joy Guster

"I have something to settle with Shawn too!." Joy said.

"Of course you do you just want me to go kill the blonde detective."

"Jeremy if you dont go I will kill you myself."Patrick interrupted.

"fine". Jeremy stormed off.

They walked over to Shawn and a few pain filled minutes later he blacked out again.

...........................................................

"Lassie I have a lead." Gus said on the phone with Lassiter.

"What is it."

"I think Shawn is being held on a farm think about it it makes sense." Gus stated.

"Guster where am I gonna look for a farm around here".

"Just check around an hour away alright thats all I got from Jules I think I'll go home and let her sleep now."

"Thats a good idea shes had a long day."

Gus went home and the hospital was pretty much empty except for some doctors walking around. Jeremy peered his head around the cornor to make sure no one was watching.

He walked into her room. He closed the curtain so no one could see him. Then he got out his gun and aimed it at Juliets head. BANG! BANG! There dead. In the door way holding a gun was Henry Spencer. The dead body was Jeremy.

"Juliet are you okay??" Henry asked rushing over to her.

"Yeah Henry Thank you so much! what are you doing here??"

"I just came to see if Gus was here but he must be at my house."

"Oh does he have any leads,"

" Yeah they said something about a farm but they wont tell me much im not a detective anymore."

"Thanks Henry!"

.......................................................................

The next morning Gus went to visit Jules in the hospital to find she wasnt there. So he called Lassiter.

"Guster I dont know where she is".

"Lassie she left her phone and everything she even forgot her shoes. Do you think she knows where Shawn is??" Gus asked

"Guster we have a list of farms we can get on it now." Lassie managed to say.

........................................

Back at the farm where Shawn is being held.

"Joy I'm going to buy some torture tools watch Spencer if he wakes up or tries anything kick him a few times." Patrick Grante said getting up to leave. Shawn had a lot of Bruises and was bleeding a little but nothing to bad yet.

Shawn was regaining conciousness slowly but he knew once he opened his eyes Joy was going to beat him. So he kept them closed.

Once he was fully concious He heard 4 gunshotts ting out and Joy was laying next to him he didnt move he didnt want to know who was going to come in.

"SHAWN" He heard a familiar voice ring out.

"Jules how did you find me?"

"Shawn we dont have time Patrick could be back at any moment."

"Okay what do we do?"

"We run".

.........................................................

"Guster there are four farms we have visited two already and no sign of anything." Lassie complained.

"Yeah but we still have two more Lassie and we will find Shawn."

They entered the barn and saw Patrick Grante standing in the center of it.

"SBPD FREEZE". Lassie said.

"Detective Lassiter we meet again." Patrick said.

"Lassie he has a gun." Gus said looking at Patrick.

"Oh Burton I'm sorry about your sister what a shame. I also appologize your friend escaped hours ago although I'm not sure how judging by how Jeremy is dead I would say Detective O'Hara helped."

Gus looked over at Joy dead on the ground an let out a loud sob.

"Oh one more thing to apoligize for". He held up the button to a bomb in his hand. Lassie shot him twice but the button was still pushed.

Lassie and Gus went flying.

Lassie woke up 3 hours later next to the dead body of Patrick Grante.

"ewww". Lassie said pushing th ebody off of him.

"Guster where are you". He called all he got was a muffled cry. He found Gus in a bush.

"Get up we should get out of here Patrick is dead and we dont have time to waste O'Hara and Spencer are running from Patrick and we need to find them."

" Lassie shouldnt we get to the hospital first". Gus complained

"No I need to find my partner." Lassie insisted.

"Alright fine but you better have a Band-aid in your car."

...........................................

"Jules where are we going". Shawn asked him and Juliet had been running through the woods ever since she saved him.

"Shawn my brother had a cabin about 8 miles away we can get there at a reasonable time if we hurry." She explained.

"Jules what about food."

"There should be some in the Cabin now lets go we need to get farther away from Patrick." She said as they ran.

......................................................................

"Where would they go?" Gus asked Lassie.

"I dont know".

"There is nothing arounnd here Shawn knows Juliet must be leading him somewhere." Gus said.

"Its time we call Henry."

Lassie pulled out his phone and dialed the number.

"Hello". Henry answered.

"Henry we are looking for Spencer and O'Hara they are gone Patrick is dead. We dont know where Spencer and O'Hara went." Lasssie said quickly.

"Lassiter alright tell me what you need."

"We need to know if Spencer has ever been up here."

"No that I know of Shawn didnt go near farms or around them I can do a search on near by houses he had."

A minute later Henry responded

"No Shawn hasnt been up there. Juliet must know where she is going though." Henry said.

"Okay check if O'Hara has been up here." Lassiter answered.

"I have that she stayed in a hotel for a week but thats all the time she was here she didnt go anywhere else that she used her credit card." Henry said

" Henry find out what she was doing here and call me back." Lassie said hanging up.

...........................................................

We're here she said pulling open the door to a small cabin.

"Jules this cabin is so hidden". Shawn said walking in.

"I know are you okay". She asked pulling out a box of stale crackers from a cabinet and two waters from a cooler on the ground.

"Yeah how do you know about this cabin?"

"My brother built it Shawn."

"Oh".

"Yep".

"Jules you saved my life."

"I know I was returning the favor."

"Jules will you marry me he asked holding out a ring to her."

She smiled wide at him."Of course". She said and they kissed.

..............................................................

Lassiters phone rang as him and Gus were driving around.

"Lassiter". He answered.

"Hey I found out Juliets brother lived around there thats why she was visiting."

"Henry that doesnt help".

"Lassiter, He built a cabin there in the woods you are about 5 miles from it ill send you the directions."

"Thanks Henry". He hung up the phone. His phone rang again.

"What Now". He answered.

"Carlton".

"Marlowe? HI is something wrong.

"No I was just wondering when you were coming home."

"Soon I gotta go bye".

.........................................

They got to the Cabin not long after the phone call.

Lassie shoved the door open and pulled out his gun.

"SBPD. FREEZE".

Juliet and Shawn just looked at him from the couch they were sitting on.

"Carlton what are you doing here?" Juliet asked.

"We were looking for you." Lassie answered putting his gun away

"Awe Lassie face you were looking for us." Shawn asked.

"NO I was looking for O'Hara." Lassie defended.

"Look Patrick is dead. AND He killed Joy." Gus started crying.

Shawn looked at Juliet who looked like she was about to cry. "Yeah I know but hes dead now". Shawn said thinking it would be best for Gus to not know Joy was involved and that Juliet killed her.

.......................................................

They all went home. Shawn and Juliet went to Henry's house to tell him they were engaged. Lassiter went to Marlowe who was angry with him. Gus went to his parents house to tell them the bad news.

The next morning the Police station had a party to celebrate the bringing down of Patrick Grante. All of the officers went. Everyone was laughing and having a good time.

Once the funerals for Madeline Spencer and Joy Guster happened people got sad again. But eventually they stopped crying and managed to live their lives happily. Lassiter and Marlowe even stopped fighting. Juliet and Shawn got married. Gus even found a girlfriend.
