Don't own anything. Ever. No matter how much I wish I did.


"Your psychic knows my name.

I dare you to finish our game.

He is surrounded by walls,

To him, the open sea calls." Lassiter read to the department. "It fits. It doesn't make sense but it fits."

"Then let's go. We have one of our own to save." Chief Vick said. Everyone burst into action, including Henry and Gus.

*56 Hours Earlier*

"Hey, Jules. I'm on my way to get lunch. Do you want anything?" Shawn asked his girlfriend.

"Sure."

"Okay. I'll be there in about 15 minutes. Love you."

"Love you, too."

With the conversation over, Juliet turned back to the paperwork for her latest case. After almost an hour she noticed that Shawn hadn't come by yet. She picked up her phone and called him but it went straight to voicemail. Juliet decided to call Gus.

When he answered, she immediately went to asking questions. "Hey, Gus. Is Shawn with you?"

"No. He told me he was going to see you. I assumed he was still there."

"He never showed up. I tried calling his phone but it went to voicemail." As soon as she said that, an officer started walking to her desk. "I have to go, Gus. Let me know when he shows up."

"You do the same."

Juliet hung up the phone as the officer handed an envelope to her and said, "Detective O'Hara. This just came for you."


Shawn woke up in the back of a van. He tried to reach up and touch his aching head but found that he couldn't move his hands. Rope he thought absentmindedly. Shawn laid there for a few minutes as he tried to remember what happened.

Suddenly, everything came back to him. He remembered calling Jules, and going to get pineapple smoothies for himself and his girlfriend. He remembered the van running him off the road, and hands shoving him in the back of the same van.

Shawn reached in his back pocket for his phone but it wasn't there. He groaned and relaxed as he tried to think of some way out of his situation. The van went over a bump, making him hit his head on the floor. The last thing Shawn thought of before his world went black was his Jules.


"Thank you." Juliet opened the envelope and read the note inside. She ran to the chief's office and dropped the note on her desk.

"What is this, O'Hara?"

"It's about Shawn." At her words, Chief Vick picked up the note and read it.

"'Hey there, Juliet.

Your Romeo says hello.

You'll find your next clue,

In the strings of a cello.'

Are you sure this isn't some kind of sick joke, someone's idea of a prank?"

"I tried calling Shawn multiple times. It went directly to voicemail every time. Gus doesn't know where he is either."

"Get Lassiter in here. The department needs to be briefed. And call Mr. Guster and Mr. Spencer. They should know." Juliet nodded and made her way to her partner's desk. Karen watched Juliet tell her partner about Shawn's disappearance.

She watched Lassiter's face change with his emotions. First, he was obviously happy. Then as O'Hara explained further, it changed to skepticism. The last emotion to show was cold determination. At the sight of his resolve, Karen knew he would do anything to find their psychic, even if he hated Shawn.
