"I think you're overreacting, Shawn." Juliet O'Hara stated as she sat down at the white table clothed four top at a restaurant called 'The Spot' with her boyfriend, Shawn Spencer, and their friend, Burton 'Gus' Guster.
"Yeah, you're dad probably went fishing or something." Gus said as he took a sip of his coca cola.
"Do you not remember the last time my father bailed on me? He was investigating that case at the men's club he used to belong to." Shawn said twirling his thumbs.
"Shawn if there was a case, I'd know about it. Gus is right, he's probably just fishing or something just came up." Juliet spoke softly, grabbing his hands and giving them a gentle squeeze. "You're relationship with your dad is stronger than ever, is it not?" She waited for a confirmation from him and then continued. "He has no reason to lie to you."
"I've been getting a weird vibe from him lately. I feel like he's hiding something from me."
"If he is, I'm sure it's for a good reason and he'll tell you soon enough." Gus said, wanting nothing more than to laugh at his anxious best friend.
"I guess you're right. It's just that ever since he got shot, I've been worried about him."
"That's understandable. He could have died that day, but he didn't. Don't waste your time with him worrying; it won't do either of you any good. Now with that being said, I'm hungry and I want to eat." Juliet smiled at her boyfriend and called the waitress over.
"Alright," Shawn said, giving in, knowing the conversation wasn't going to point in his favor. When it was his turn to order, he told the waitress "I'll have a cheese burger with bacon, avocado, onions, lettuce, ketchup, musta—" He stopped when he noticed the annoyed look on his girlfriend's face, "that's all."
"Alright, I'll have that out soon as possible!" The waitress named Amanda said with a sickly sweet smile. Gus stared at her as she bounced off towards the kitchen.
"Oh Gusipoo, you must stop staring. You're very unbecoming when you sit there with your mouth practically on the floor."
"Look, you already have a girl, don't take the remaining single guy's fun away." Gus said, pelting a paper napkin at Shawn.

"You know you have to tell him about me, right?" A tall, brown haired girl named Emily told Henry Spencer as he sat at his kitchen table, reading his daily paper.
"Yes, Emily, I am aware." Henry stated as he looked at the young woman sitting across from him. "He's going to go insane and go on and on about honesty and such."
"It's been seventeen years, don't you think it's time to let the cat out of the bag? Don't you think it's about time that I get to know Shawn?"
"In time you will get to know him. You know the reason that you haven't already met him and I think it's a pretty good reason if you ask me."
"How do you think you would explain it to him if he were to walk through the back door at this very moment?"
"I would have a hell of a hard time explaining." He paused to take a bite of his strawberry jellied toast. "C'mon, we have to get you to the gym. Your coach will torture you if you're late again."
"Okay, but can I please meet him soon?" Emily begged, looking at him with her big, brown eyes that she knew he could not say no to.
"Fine, soon." He said, taking a deep breath as he followed her to the car.
"All these practices better pay off at that audition next month!" Emily whined, plopping down into the passenger seat of Henry's pickup truck. "I don't even know how many drills I do, by the end of the practice, I'm dead. She works me to the bone."
"Don't you think it will be worth it when you nail that audition?"
"Yeah, but I'll be two thousand, eight hundred and seventy miles away from you!"
"I know," He paused, looking away from the road and towards Emily, "but this is something you want to do, so I will support you in whatever you do."
"What if I don't get it?"
"Then you can stay here and you'll make the best of it. Plus, you could always become a detective!"
"Dad!"
Henry laughed as he turned onto State Street. "Honey, you actually think I would let you become a detective? After everything your brother and I have gone through? You're lucky that I even let you wear my SBPD sweatshirt and carry my gym bag."
"I know, Daddy." Emily said, grabbing one of her dad's hands off the steering wheel and holding it with in her hand. "Yin is gone. I'm safe, we are all safe."
"Yeah, he is." Henry said, through gritted teeth.
Emily, wanting to change the subject, turned on the radio and blared Justin Bieber's 'Boyfriend'.
"Oh, you are such a seventeen year old girl." He laughed, taking in how much she looked like her mother when she smiled. He wasn't sure how she got his mother's eyes when both of her parents were blue eye.
"At least I'm not setting my Facebook name as 'Emily Bieber'."
"I'd disown you."

"Shawn! Chew your food before you swallow!" Juliet groaned as she ripped apart two pieced of her BLT.
Shawn responded by sticking his tongue out at her. She groaned again and looked at the street; Sitting at a red light were Henry and Emily Spencer. She had met Emily before when Yin was still at large to try and explain to her why she could not meet Shawn. She was sworn to secrecy by Henry and was going to keep good on that promise.
"Shawn, can you go get me another coke? I'm pretty sure our waitress isn't going to come back anytime soon, thanks Gus."
Gus knew she was up to something, so he kept his mouth shut and decided to watch it unfold.
"Sure." Shawn said, getting up and walking over to the bar.
"What was that?" Gus asked, dipping a chip into guacamole.
"Nothing, just wanted a drink." Juliet stated with a stutter.
"Jules."
"I can't tell you."
"You know you can tell me anything. You're not just my best friend's girl, you're my friend, too."
"I was told not to tell anyone."
"Juliet. I'm not going to repeat anything. I know it is about Shawn, so why not tell me."
"If I tell you, you cannot tell Shawn!" Juliet stated through gritted teeth, pointing a finger at him.
"Okay!" Gus promised.
She took a deep breath and looked back at the red light that had just turned green. "Shawn has a sister."
