This was another story idea given to me by my girls. I told them they have to stop feeding me story ideas my brain cant ignore. I just started my 2nd term at the University, I have to do homework sometime lol
Shawn always knew how to relax Juliet after a long day. He texted her and told her to meet him at the Psych office; when she got there the place was lit up with candles and he had arranged for them to share a beautiful candle light dinner.
When Juliet arrived at the office and saw all that Shawn had done for her the long day she had just melted away.
That crazy guy she was in love with may be hard to handle at times but he sure knew how to make her happy.
The two lovebirds sat and ate dinner they laughed and held hands. The busy, crazy world of the SBPD was long forgotten. After desert Shawn suggested they go on a walk on the boardwalk. He smiled at Juliet and said, "There is nothing better than kissing by moonlight." Juliet smiled at Shawn in agreement.
They made it out the door toward the boardwalk when they were grabbed from behind. They must have been drugged because the next thing she remembered was waking up in a dark room, they were both duct taped to chairs that were facing each other.
Juliet was the first to wake up; she looked around the room trying to piece together what had happened. She took stock of herself and realized that she was unharmed but her heart sank when she saw Shawn. Not only was he unconscious but also he had a small stream of blood running down the side of his head.
She was startled when she heard a familiar voice coming from the shadows. It was Vladimir Rafinsky the Russian Mobster that she had been trying to nail for months. He came in to the light and he was leaning on a baseball bat. He looked at Juliet and told her, "You have been a thorn in my flesh for too long. Its time that you start being helpful." Juliet spat back at him, "I want you in Jail what makes you think that I will EVER help you."
Mr. Rafinsky laughed, "I figured you wouldn't want to be helpful that is why we took your little boyfriend here too. See I have a list of things I need for you to do and they need to be done by a certain time, if you refuse then I will hurt your little boyfriend here. Just in case you think I am joking let me give you a little taste of what I will do."
He took the bat he was leaning on and swung it as hard as he could the bat hit Shawn in the leg, breaking his leg. He swung so hard it even cracked the leg of the metal chair Shawn was taped too.
Thankfully Shawn was knocked out cold but he did let out this ungodly groan that made Juliet cry. She yelled at Mr. Rafinsky, "I will do whatever you want but please stop hurting him, please, I love him."
Mr. Rafinsky came over to Juliet patted her on the cheek and said, "Good girl, I knew you would see it my way. When you wake up you will be at the SBPD with the lists and when each thing must be done by. If you fail on anything you will receive a video of lover boy here being punished."
The next thing Juliet remembered she was sitting on the bench outside of the SPBD holding a notebook. She hoped and prayed that was all a bad dream but she opened the notebook, taped to the inside cover of the notebook was Shawn with a bloody face and visibly broken leg just like she remembered.
She ran into the Chief's office and told the Chief, "We have a really, really Big problem." Chief Vick tried to calm down he Junior Detective but it wasn't happening.
Juliet was hysterical as she told the Chief all that had happened, "We had a nice dinner in the Psych office last night and when we left to go walk on the boardwalk two people abducted us. They must have knocked us out with some drugs or something because the next thing I remember we were in an office taped to a chair."
Chief Vick put her arm around the sobbing detective. She calmly asked, what about Shawn, Where is he?"
Juliet continued, after a break to blow he nose, "Oh God Shawn, he was unconscious in a chair across from me bleeding from his head, Rafinsky was there and he told me I had to do the list or he would hurt Shawn. To make sure I knew he wasn't lying he took a baseball bat and hit Shawn breaking his leg. See he gave me this to remind me of who he had and what he would do if I didn't cooperate."
Chief Vick took the picture and gasped in shock of the site of her Psychic Detective unconscious and bloody strapped in a chair.
She yelled for Henry and Lassiter to join them in her office and gave Juliet another handkerchief to wipe her eyes with.
Henry and Lassiter joined the two in Vick's office, she told them to shut her door and close the blinds. When they complied with her orders she began to fill them in on what had happened. Lassiter and Henry were angry they at the thought of Juliet and Shawn being kidnapped and extorted for favors.
Chief Vick almost didn't show the two men the picture of Shawn but decided that they needed to know everything. When Lassiter saw the picture he groaned, "Sweet Lady Liberty, look at Spencer's leg." Henry took the picture and held it to his heart and sighed, "Oh Shawn."
Vick got everyone's attention back at the problem at hand, "Okay people let's think about this like cops and not Shawn's friends. O'Hara tell us what the demands are."
Juliet opened the book and started to read the demands and the due date for each.
The 17 kilos of cocaine that was taken from the last raid on my establishment. Due by 6 o'clock tonight to be dropped off in an unmarked box at the florist on Meriposa.
The case of weapon that were confiscated from my associates last month. The guns need to be dropped off at the 'trade your weapon for books' booth at the fair. Due no latter then noon tomorrow.
Finally I want Alexi Rafinsky to be released and brought to me on Saturday. I will trade you and only you, your boyfriend for Alexi then.
Lassiter was the first to chime in, "Chief, you know we aren't allowed to bargain with kidnappers and even if we did there is no way they are going to just give Shawn back to us. We have got to find him and take Shawn back."
Chief Vick sighed, "Unfortunately I agree. Lassiter you take Henry and make a list of all of Rafinsky's known hangouts and lets start canvasing the area maybe we will get lucky and find him quick. O'Hara, I want you to hit the phones and call in every favor and grill every snitch and see if you can find out anything. Lets find Shawn. Dismissed! "
They all were working so hard to try and find Shawn they hadn't noticed that the deadline had come and gone for the first demand. When Juliet checked her email her heart sank. The subject read I WASN'T JOKING and there was a video attached. She called the others over and pressed play.
What they saw broke all of their hearts. Shawn was now awake, you could tell he had been yelling and screaming. He looked in the video and said, "Juliet I hope you are okay, I love you and tell Dad I love him too." When he said that a voice off camera sneered, "Isn't that just precious."
They all gasped when they saw what came next they heard a bullet fire from behind the camera it hit Shawn in the upper part of the left side of his chest.
The video stayed focused on Shawn as he wriggled in pain and cried out to the person behind the camera. The video lasted long enough to see that his shirt was quickly turning from emerald green to a sick maroon color from all the blood he was loosing.
Henry's knees could not keep him up anymore. If it weren't for Lassiter gently helping guide him into a chair he would have hit the floor. Juliet sat with her hands over her mouth as her head tried to convince her heart of what she just saw.
Vick assured Henry and O'Hara that they WILL find Shawn and bring him home.
