As much Shules as I can.

Chapter One
I smiled as his hand moved down touching by naked body. Still dazed with sleep, I slurred his name as a reproach. He seemed to notice, well, his hand stopped moving.
"Jules..." he garbled my name as his other hand caught my hair and played with it.
"Shawn, it is early." I stated, turning into him. Something in me exploded as our bodies touched. I gently kissed his chest and laid there, enjoying the feeling bubbling over my skin.
One small, but very noticeable noise broke into my moment with my fiancé, even thinking the word made me play with the simple ring Shawn had picked out, the phone would not stop vibrating as I wished it would.
I cursed as I pulled myself away, all the while longingly to be back in his arms.
Reaching the mobile that was still happily dancing on the work top.
"What?" I asked curtly, the reply chilled out to the bone.
"O'Hara, there's been a murder. You and Spencer need to get here now."
"Why good morning Carlton, it is not like it is my day off or anything." I answered more the a little peeved that my time had been cut short when I was so looking forward to it.
"I know, O'Hara." Carlton Lassiter replied, an edge of annoyance in his voice. "But this one requires a nicer female presentence, and..." He sighed. "As much as I hate to say it, a Psychic."
"Okay, where is it?" I questioned walking back into the bedroom and motioning at Shawn who was lying in bed awaiting my return – hopefully with pineapple, I bet.
He sighed as I hooked my bra on and smiled at him with my most 'please listen to my reasoning' way. Acting a little more childish than usual, he flopped out on the bed with a full on pout set on his lips.
I curled my hand into his and he looked over me before sighing and sitting up. I smiled again at put the phone down with a simple 'goodbye' to Carlton. I put on the rest of my clothes and frowned at myself in the mirror, something was odd. Something felt different.
Shawn came in and put his hand to his head. I smiled. I knew his little – well huge- secret and it amused me when he pretended.
"Where's your ring?"
"Oh!" I whispered, shocked that it has fallen off. "Got it." I laughed and slid in back into place. Much Better, I felt whole again. I smiled at my reflection.
"Come on." I sighed, pulling along my soon to be other half quickly. "The sooner we finish, the sooner we can get home." I turned and pressed myself against him, giving him the impression I was going to kiss him, then I turned continued walking. The phrase 'your body is a temple, use it wisely' came to my head, and I smiled, I thought I was using it wisely.
I drove to the crime scene with Shawn messing around with Gus in the back seat. It appeared Gus had just brought a box of finger puppets and chocolate fingers. I sighed as Shawn named the one he claimed to be hot, Juliet and did his high pitch girly voice.
"Guys, if you could stop acting like five year olds, we are here now please act like you have a brain." I laughed and the puppet Juliet hit Gus in the head with a chocolate finger.
"Yes, my sweet." Shawn chuckled, shoving the whole chocolate finger in his mouth.
"Dude, that was mine!" Gus argued.
"Gus, finder's keepers." Shawn said.
"Shawn, you didn't find that, I gave it to you."
"Exactly, now come on." Shawn jumped out the car and grabbed my hand as the three of us walked towards the police cars that were assembled outside the one bedroom flat.
When we got inside I saw Chief Vick sitting awkwardly with a crying child. She motioned for me to come over. I dropped Shawn's after a little squeeze. I walked over to the child as the chief slipped over to Shawn and Gus to explain things to them.
"Hi." I whispered the girl. "I'm Juliet, what's your name?"
She sniffled, wiped her nose then crackled back. "Amber."
"Okay, Amber, I'm going to take you out now and get you some food and water."
She nodded and let me lead her out of the flat.
Looking back I saw Shawn, Gus and Chief Vick go into the bathroom and a second later Gus running back out screaming like a little girl, with Shawn voice following him.
"Gus, don't be that guy from scrubs with the magnificent hair!"
"Oh, Burton!" I squeaked in my best Juliet voice. "Your big black bald head makes me want to eat a chocolate finger, but unfortunately I have not got a big enough mouth. Shawn would you do the honours."
"Certainly." I laughed, taking the chocolate finger from Gus' hand.
"Guys, if you could stop acting like five year olds, we are here now please act like you have a brain."
"Yes my sweet." I replied happily shoving the chocolate finger in my mouth. I could see Jules smile in the mirror.
"Dude, that was mine!" Gus spat out after I finished the chocolaty sweetness.
"Gus, finders keepers." I sighed, as Jules scent left the car and left me wanting her more than ever.
"Shawn, you didn't find that, I gave it to you."
"Exactly, now come on." I jumped out of the car and grabbed Juliet's hand before I died of loneliness.
Rubbing small circles into her hand with my thumb, Jules, Gus and I walked to the converged police cars. I waved to Buzz as I walked in, his face proved my fears – this is going to be ugly.
I took in everything. The chief was trying to comfort a little girl who Jules – after an affectionate squeeze of my hand went to help. There was a picture of a man and women tipped purposefully over on the white mantle piece; the red sofa was slightly redder on the top of the cushion due to water, or blood. Most of the SBPD were in the small bathroom I guessed that was the crime scene.
"Mr. Spencer, this is probably the worst case we have ever had to work on. It needs to get solved quickly. To say the least we need nothing short of a miracle." Chief Vick stated matter-of-factly and marched us into the bathroom.
"Oh god!" I couldn't help it, the curse slipped out my mouth, showing my true emotions which I usually hid.
In the bath, covered and filled with crimson liquid, there was the woman from the photo. Dead. Laid face down in the bath. In a stained red straight jacket. She was completely naked other than the straight jacket and her bare feet were tied to the taps. The one tied to the hot tap had many harsh burns and both feet had rope burns and cut where she had obviously struggled. Across her thighs and calves there we thousands of small cuts. The bath was filled with her blood.
"She died of drowning, in her own blood. What kind of monster could do this?" Karen wiped away a tear, this case would kill Juliet. I was suddenly more glad than ever that I had her, because it would kill me too.
Gus let out a high pitched scream and ran out of the room like I wanted to do.
Swallowing the nausea, I shouted after him in my best 'this hasn't affected me, but it really has' voice.
"Gus, don't be that guy from scrubs with the magnificent hair!"
Please review this is only Chapter one. Hopefully there will be many.
