"Hurry up, Shawn!" my partner in crime...well we were cops so it wouldn't be crime...Burton Guster said.
"Why are we in a hurry, Gus?" I asked.
"If you want your pineapple smoothie, then hurry up!" Gus said forcefully.
I immediately sped my pace up. My coupon for one free extra-large smoothie expired today, and I remembered that the shop closed at eight. We were two minutes away and we had five minutes. Good timing.
"Good evening, Shawn," the smoothie girl said.
"Yes, good evening, Sammie. One extra large pineapple smoothie," I said, pulling out my coupon.
"Alright. Anything for you Gus?" Sammie asked.
"I'm good," Gus replied, pulling out his phone.
A few minutes later, we were out of the store. Me drinking my smoothie! Gus and I walked back to Psych quickly. When we got there I noticed Lassies car sitting in front of the office.
"What's up, Lassie?" I asked, once we got into the office.
"This serial killer person took another Vic," he said. Oh straight down to business.
"Who?" Gus asked.
"A Samantha Brown," Lassie said, reading from his phone.
"Isn't that the girl who works at Jamba Juice?" Gus asked.
"Yes, she is seventeen and went missing about ten minutes ago," Lassie replied.
I looked at my iPhone, which had the awesome Psych cover, and checked the time.
"We just missed him then," I said, aggravated.
"Wow," Gus said.
"Yes, let's head over to Jamba Juice now," Lassie said.
We went out to his car and, surprisingly, let me sit shot gun. SCORE! He didn't even lecture me about keeping the car clean...
"Spencer!" Lassie said.
"What?" I asked.
"This is Yin's third victim. We need to find this psycho before Yin starts targeting the team," he replied.
"Well..." I trailed off.
"O'Hara, what do you have?" Lassie asked, getting out of the car.
"Same as the others. No sign of forced entry, signs of struggle, and a clue," Jules said. Man she looked pretty today...
"Shawn!" Jules said.
"Yes," I replied.
"This is Sammie's parents," she told me.
"Hello Mr. and Mrs. Brown. My name is Shawn and I'm a psychic detective. This is my partner Spellmaster. He is big into Harry Potter," I said.
"So, you are going to help find my daughter?" Mrs. Brown asked.
"Yes," I replied.
I looked over at Gus, who just had a slightly mad look on his face. He finally got use to me giving him nicknames during the course of the day.
"I have nothing, Gus, nothing," I said, getting on my bike.
"Get some sleep. It might help," he replied, while getting into the blueberry.
I went back to my apartment, threw my empty cup away, and took a shower. Maybe Gus was right and some sleep would help. The minute my head hit the pillow, I was passed out.

(Greg's POV)
"Alright, I have an assignment and I need all of us on it," Russell said, coming into the break room.
"Only one?" Sara asked. On a good night, we would have at least two cases.
"Yes, some day shifters took the other one. We have 5 DB's," Russell said.
"How did you get then to do that?" I asked.
"Overtime...they needed it," he replied.
"Okay...so 5 DB's at one location?" Nick asked.
"Yup, now here is the address. See you guys in a few," Russell replied, giving us the address.
"Carpool?" Nick asked Sara and I.
"Sure, let me get my kit," Sara replied. I nodded.
We went out to the car park and Sara and I got our kits and went to Nick's company car. We didn't have nice company cars, but they worked.
I let Sara have shot gun, while I say in back. Nick turned on some country music, which wasn't too bad. We made idle chit chat throughout the ride.
When we got to the scene, Russell, Brass, Morgan, David (Hodges), and Doc Robbins were there. We got out of the car, grabbed our kits, and went over to them.
"Alright, our victims all lived in this house. We have the mother, father, two sons, and a daughter. We have one lead and already have someone checking up on it," Brass said, reading from his notebook thingy.
"Okay. Greg, Sara, and Nick. You can process the bodies. Morgan and Hodges, you are going to go over the rest of the house with me," Russell told us.
Nick, Sara, and I processed the bodies and went back to Nick's car.
"Hey, Greggo, you running that DNA Right when we get back?" Nick asked.
"Sure thing, Nicky," I replied.
The rest of the ride was silent...well except for the music. When we got back to the lab, I took our evidence and went to the DNA lab. I loved working with DNA! I got to work quickly running everything. A few hours later, I got the results and went to Russell's office.
I knocked...what my mother raised me that way!
"Come in," Russell said.
"I got the DNA results. The saliva and skin cells belonged to a William Preston," I said, handing him the papers.
"Good job Greg," Russell said. Just the Brass came into the room.
"Got a confession from out suspect," he said.
"Good, and Greg here got the DNA results, tying him to the crime. Greg, go tell the others I'm taking them out for breakfast," Russell told me.
"IHop?" I asked.
"Yup, right after shift," he said.
I mentally did a celebratory dance in my head. I've been trying to get Russell to take us to IHop whenever he took us out. I loved that place.
I found Nick, Sara, Hodges, and Morgan in the break room.
"Russell said he is taking us to IHop after work," I said.
"Closed the case?" Morgan asked. I nodded.
"Sweet!" Nick said.
"Wow, Nicky. Just wow," Sara said.
"So, Sara, how's Grissom?" Hodges asked. Sara blushed.
I laughed at them, and left. I had something's to finish in the lab, so I went back there. I cleaned the equipment and did some paperwork. When shift ended, I went to the locker room and changed. I went to my car and went to IHop. I was the first one there, so I got a long table.
After breakfast, I went back to my apartment and went to sleep.

Las Vegas, Nevada
"Assignments," Russell said, coming into the break room.
"Finally," Nick said, smiling.
"Alright...Greg, you and Nick have a DB in the desert," Russell said, giving us the info.
"See ya," I said.
"We are taking my car," I said. Nick agreed, but grumbled the whole way to the car.
"Where we going, Nicky?" I asked.
Nick told me the directions and I started driving. When we got there, we found David looking at the body...parts?
"What do we have?" I asked.
"I say a girl. Not even 18 yet, um COD would be multiple stab wounds, then she was cut up and dumped. No I.D. so far," David said.
"Now who would do that?" Nick asked.
"I don't know, but could you please hurry. I've got three other places I need to be in the hour, and I have to make sure this one gets transported properly," David said.
Nick and I got to work. We processed the body and area around it. When we were done, we went back to the lab. I ran the traces and didn't find much.
"Doc Robbins just finished our body. Let's go check out the report," Nick said, coming into the lab. I nodded and went to follow.
"Greg, when you come back, can you process this for me?" Morgan asked.
"Yeah, just leave it there and I'll get to it," I said.
Nick and I went down to the morgue, and found Doc Robbins with our Jane Doe.
"Whatcha got for us Doc?" I asked.
"Well our Jane Doe's name is Samantha Brown. Died of stab wounds, then cut up. There are defensive wounds on her hands and arms, but no trace. Our killer must have cleaned her up," Doc Robbins said.
"Thanks Doc," Nick said, grabbing the report.
We walked back upstairs. I went to the lab and Nick to the break room. I started on the evidence Morgan gave me. When I was done, I went to give her the report. I found her in the break room with Nick. He looked like he was thinking.
"Don't overwork the brain," I joked, handing Morgan the report.
"Samantha Brown...the name sounds familiar," he mused.
"I'll go check on her, okay," I said. He nodded.
I went to my computer and typed Samantha's name in. Nothing came up in our system, so I did a nationwide search. Her name came up in missing persons for Santa Barbara. I printed out the info and went to find Nick. He was walking around the hallways.
"Tell me you have something," he said.
"Samantha Brown, went missing from Santa Barbara, California a little over a week ago," I said,
"Okay...well I guess I will call the SBPD and let them know we found her," Nick said, and not to happily.
"Ask for Detective Lassiter or Detective O'Hara," I said, handing him the info for Samantha. Nick nodded and left.
Santa Barbara, California
"Shawn," Jules said over the phone.
"Yes?" I asked.
"We found Samantha Brown," she said.
"Where?" I asked nervously.
"Las Vegas. Pack your bags and call Gus because we are going on a road trip," she said.
"Alright, when we leaving?" I asked.
"9 o'clock from the PD," she said and hung up.
I sighed. I had hoped we would find Samantha before she was killed...I shook those thoughts away and called Gus, telling him what Jules told me. I went home and packed a small suitcase, not knowing how long we would be there.
After I hung up, I still felt bad because we hadn't found Samantha in time. I've never felt so...so…so useless. I hated this feeling!
