Hello dear readers!
Here is another multi-chapter story from me. :) It's not all written yet, but I know where I want to go with this and I would be thrilled if you'd decide to join me through this adventure. Waiting time between chapters could be longer, but I'll do my best. Promise! ;)
As always, thank you cosette141 for beta-reading and for all your encouraging words! :)

Description:
"Yeah, probably not a good idea to taunt violent criminals, fellas." Craig said. "You never know, they might escape, get out some day, and believe me… they hold grudges." – And no one thought it would end this badly.
This is what came to my mind when I watched "Ferry Tale" again. It takes place somewhere at the beginning of season 7 with one small exception: Juliet already knows Shawn's secret. They date but they're not living together yet.

Chapter 1:
It was that dead time of night, shortly after 3 a.m. The time when the sound of silence is so overwhelming that it's deafening. When the night is at its darkest.
Some lonely guards were walking up and down their instructed paths on this the safely double fenced premises. Seeming as if they were the only lifeforms on earth right now.
It was the perfect night for a prison break.
A shout ripped through the silence and then way-too-bright light flooded Santa Barbara County Jail. People were yelling, running feet echoed through the corridors and a siren started blaring. The consummating silence of the night was over.
A few kilometers away, four men in bright orange suits came to a halt. It wasn't until they had crossed the highway and found themselves in a dark cemetery that they dared to stop. They looked around, each taking a breath.
"Did we lose them?" one of them asked.
Another man straightened up, answering, "Yeah, I think we did." And with a smug grin he added, "It's revenge time, boys."
On the other side of town, a young couple was slumbering peacefully in their bedroom. The man had encircled his girl in his arms, and he was snoring softly. She had intertwined his fingers with hers, holding them in front of her chest. Though she was sleeping soundly, she wore a smile on her face, dreaming of the man holding her close. But their silence was disturbed when a phone started ringing on the bedside table.
Shawn winced, pulling Juliet closer, who moaned in annoyance at the unwanted sound. "Maybe if we ignore it, it'll stop eventually." he mumbled, voice still rough from sleeping.
Juliet halfheartedly tried to wiggle out of his embrace. "I don't think so." she said tiredly, unable to stifle a yawn. "Shawn, let me go. It could be the station."
Shawn smirked. Neither of them had gotten much sleep that night. "So?" he asked.
"So, it could be an emergency." Juliet argued, but she was seemingly still too tired to move a muscle.
Pleased with himself, Shawn's smile widened. He kissed her temple and then stretched over her to reach the phone. "Don't worry. I'll take it."
"Thanks." Juliet mumbled, already half-asleep again.
"Hello, who dares to disturb our peaceful night?" Shawn demanded.
"Mr. Spencer?" Chief Vick answered on the other end of the phone, seeming confused for a moment. "Oh, good. You're there too. We've been trying to call you!"
"Oh, sorry. My phone was—"
"It doesn't matter now." she interrupted him. "You and O'Hara need to come to the station. ASAP… It's an emergency."
"Oh, is it really?" Shawn winked at Juliet, who understood and rolled her eyes.
"Mr. Spencer, listen to me!" Chief Vick emphasized. "This is a very serious situation. I can't stress enough how important it is that you two get here!"
"Alright, alright. I understand." Shawn affirmed, throwing the covers back with a sigh. "Jules and I are on our way."
"Good… Be careful." she added cryptically and then hung up.
Shawn frowned. Why should we be careful?
Juliet sat up, as if she already knew there was something serious going on. "What?" she asked, upon seeing Shawn's baffled face.
"Chief wants us down at the station, ASAP." His frown deepened. "I think something really bad has happened."
Juliet stretched her back, feeling more awake now. "Well, let's find out what it's about." Kissing away the lines on Shawn's forehead, she added, "I'm sure it's nothing we can't handle."
Shawn smiled back at her. "Yeah, you're probably right."
Not many words to review yet, but please do it anyway! :D
