When I finished "Judas In My Mind," I was certain that I would never write a sequel. But then, I saw Psych: The Movie, and Ewan's mad fleeing from a swarm of bad guys (along with the fact that the bad guys knew Shawn's name) made me have an instant brainpop for a sequel idea. Then, Harakiri came up with a beautiful Post-Movie challenge on the forum that just compounded the fit of insanity and made everything worse. Thanks for that.

This story is set immediately after the events of Psych: The Movie. It's also set shortly after the events of my fic "Judas In My Mind," which takes place only a few months before the movie. This story will make infinitely more sense if you read the first story before this one. But for those of you who don't want to read it or just want a refresher, here's the rundown.

In this alternate universe:

1. Shawn was recruited by Murdoc (the bad guy from MacGyver) to be a professional assassin working for the criminal organization Homicide International Trust (HIT) in 1995, while he was in jail after being arrested by Henry for stealing a car to impress a girl.
2. While Shawn was gone from Santa Barbara, he didn't actually have all those jobs that he claimed to have. He had one job: professional assassin. He did this for roughly eleven years, from 1995 until 2006. He did, however, do a lot of those activities that he references in the show either for fun or as part of a disguise/stakeout/etc.
3. Shawn and Murdoc grew very close during the two years that Murdoc was training him (1995-1997) and remained as close as family until 2017.
4. Murdoc misled Shawn from the very beginning about what HIT was and what Shawn's actual job was. Shawn knew that he was an assassin, but he was under the assumption that he was working for a CIA-like organization as a black ops agent of some kind. He did not know that he was actually a criminal working for a society of villainous mercenaries. When he found out, Murdoc agreed to help him get out of HIT. The price for Shawn's "retirement" was having to kill Murdoc.
5. Shawn and Juliet got married immediately after "The Break-Up." They were going to Jamaica to renew their vows and spend quality time together.

Everything else should be more or less canon-compliant, but there might be a few other inconsistencies, especially since I wrote "Judas In My Mind" well before the movie. Now, without further ado... Enjoy!
