"Holley Robison just sung at a sold-out concert in Japan yesterday," The host of The Insider announced. "She told the crowd how happy she was that her life was back to normal," the host continued. "With the exception of one thing in her life that has changed for the good, she says that she finally has a guy in her life, could this be Mr. Shawn Spencer Psychic detective for the Santa Barbra police department?" The host insinuated correctly.
After the report on Holley's first concert since the one at Santa Barbra three weeks ago, Shawn turned off the TV.
They were sitting in the Psych office. They have gotten a lot of calls about potential clients, see ins though Gus has a REAL job, they had to start turning away clients. They were booked until next January, and it was the middle of February.
"Shawn you okay?" Gus asked looking at Shawn sad face, he was still staring at the screen where Holley's image was.
"Yeah Gus," Shawn suddenly said snapping out of his trance.
"Man, Shawn you got it bad," Gus commented.
"No, Shawn I don't, because I don't know why," He admitted. "I don't have an excuse," Shawn admitted.
"Maybe because you don't need one," Gus guessed on his friend's predicament.
"I guess not I am just hurting because I know I can't see her in a while, she says she has a free weekend in about three weeks, she wants to come over and have a cookout with me and my dad, and you too," Shawn explained.
"Good thing we have these cases to keep our mind off things," Gus suggested pulling out one of their clients folders.
"Yeah what do we got," Shawn asked realizing that they had work to do.
"A man was charged with killing about three people and he says that he is innocent, he also says that him and Holley went to school together," Gus explained.
"Doesn't everyone say that about famous people," Shawn asked looking at the man's picture.
"Yes, but he's telling the truth, I remember seeing him in one of the pictures in Holley's memory box," Gus explained. "When the police confiscated it, they took pictures of everything in there, it was this picture," Gus asked showing Shawn a photo of Holley in her marching band uniform. Right next to her was a boy and they were both laughing at each other. They had whipped cream smeared on each other.
"O, yeah Holley told me that they got in big trouble for getting their uniforms dirty," Shawn smiled.
"His name is Sam Smith," Gus explained. "He says that he dated Holley back then and she would want us to help him, she talked to him about you," Gus finished waiting for Shawn opinion.
"I need to call Holley ask her about it," Shawn realized getting out his phone. There was a pause, "Hey Holley it's Shawn just working on a case and there was one about a guy who says that he was an boyfriend of yours, and you recommended us," Shawn explained. "If it's true I'll totally be on top of it," he added. "Well call me back, bye," Shawn said hanging up the phone.
"Voice mail," Gus asked.
"Yeah she's doing a concert it's nighttime over there," Shawn shrugged.
"Hopefully she gets back to us soon," Gus said. "Well anyway he couldn't get bail so we have to visit him in prison," He added grabbing his coat.
"Let's go," Shawn followed.
"Sam you say you are innocent, but there is a lot of evidence against you," Gus explained.
"I don't know how that happened, but I think someone is using me to get to Holley," Sam explained.
"What do you mean," Shawn asked clearly concerned.
"Because, even after our breakup, me and her are still really great friends today, but she has had a lot of nasty breakups." Sam explained.
"Like who?" Shawn asked.
"Like Vince," Sam suggested.
"O, she told me that that one didn't go over well," Shawn said remember what she said about him.
"Yeah that was after my break up with her, ours ended mutually we were better as friends see," Sam explained. "She said that she found out that he wanted her for her money, she got really angry at him started throwing things at him," he added.
"Wow I can't imagine Holley that angry," Gus replied not knowing what to say.
"That is Holley's biggest pet peeve people using her for her money, she would give you the money if you just ask. But if you pretend to be her friend so you can have money at Christmas or birthdays, she gets ticked off at you," Sam explained. "She called me and said that I should call you guys, she says that you were great," Sam added.
"We are going to do all that we can," Shawn said getting up.
"Have you contacted Holley yet, I can't use the phone here," Sam asked.
"I left a message on her phone," Shawn answered.
"Shawn? So Sam finally got a hold of you," Holley said when Shawn answered his phone.
"Yeah, he says that he's innocent, but I'm sorry Holley but the evidence against him is overwhelming," Shawn said almost picturing the sad look on Holley's face.
"Shawn aren't you the one who solved a case by accusing a Tyrannosaurus Rex?" Holley reminded him.
"That's not the point," Shawn argued.
"It's exactly the point Shawn you see things no other person does, I believe in you, and I know Sam, he wouldn't do something like that," Holley explained. "Please do this for me," Holley begged.
"Okay, Holley it will be top priority," Shawn said unable to say no to Holley.
"Thanks I have to go now," Holley mentioned.
"Okay, but I love you," Shawn said.
"I love you to, bye," Holley said hanging up the phone.
The next day Shawn went into the police station.
"Hey Shawn saw your picture on the Insider," Juliet mentioned.
"Thank you Jules, and I got you this," Shawn said handing a piece of paper to her. It had Holley's signature on it.
"Thanks Shawn," Juliet smiled. "How can I help you today," She added.
"Sam Smith on trail for killing three people can I look at the file, see he hired me," Shawn explained.
"Well… I don't know I'll have to ask Chief Vick," Juliet admitted uncomfortably.
"Ask me what?" Chief asked walking into the room.
"Sam Smith hired me and I was wondering if I can look at the file," Shawn said.
"I guess you can but I need it back as soon as possible, help him O'Hara," Vick said walking away.
"Wow that was easy," Shawn said.
"I know, but here you go," Juliet said rummaging through files. "See Shawn I worked the case it seems very solid, he killed those three people with his nine millimeter," Juliet explained.
"I'm doing this for Holley, Sam and her are really good friends," Shawn explained.
"O, okay, hope it works out for you," Juliet said.
"Gus, listen to this, Sam said something to me about using him to get to Holley," Shawn said as they were sitting at the Psych office. This was their third day on the case.
"Yeah so," Gus said not getting the connection.
"Well, what if that is exactly right that means Holley is in trouble, again," Shawn said.
"So what do we propose we do?" Gus asked.
"Well it doesn't matter because I have to great guys to protect me," a voice said walking into the office.
"Holley?" Shawn asked surprised or either hallucinating.
"Yeah there was a problem with one of the concerts that I was going to do so it had to be canceled," Holley explained. "So I wanted to surprise you, and see ins though Sam is in trouble I thought I'd take an extended week or so," She added.
"It's so great to see you," Shawn smiled hugging her.
