*scary, dramatic music*

War has Just Begun!

I hope you all love it! It's a bit OOC, but all that I really changed was Juliet and Shawn's age and a few other things you might catch! :D

Disclaimer: I OWE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING EXCEPT FOR YIN AND YANG'S FORMER ACCOMPLICES, THE POSSIBLE SUSPECTS, MAYA, ALLISON, ZACH, MADDIE, AND THE NEW BABY SPENCER!

And now onto the story...

November 2014—SBPD at Detective Spencer and Detective Lassiter's desks

"Thank God that this was my last case before the baby comes!" Detective Juliet Spencer said while sitting down suddenly on her wooden chair. She, Lassie, Shawn, and Gus had just recently returned from solving a murder case involving a top-notch chef at a local restaurant.

Shawn propped himself against Juliet's desk with his arms crossed. Gus sat a chair parallel to them, and Lassie took a seat at his desk. "Yes, I still can't believe that the bust boy did it. But good job, O'Hara—Spencer." Lassie corrected himself. Juliet and Shawn had gotten married a few years ago in Santa Barbara and were now expecting their first child in a few short weeks.

She nodded with a pleasing smile. "Thank you, Carlton." "I hope he is as great as a detective as you, Jules." Shawn nudged her slightly and Juliet snickered. "What if it isn't a boy, Shawn? What if he is actually a she?" "That would be unfortunate, now wouldn't it?" Gus shook his head while tapping his fingers on the chair's right arm.

"I'm with Jules on this one. Maybe it's a girl. In that case, she would be even a better detective." Lassie nodded in agreement with Juliet and Gus. "And not a physic like Spencer. I won't be able to handle a mini-Spencer that has physic abilities as well." "I hope they're just like you then too." Shawn joked with them and grabbing Juliet's hand. "But whoever is in there will be the coolest baby ever."

May 2030—Spencer Household

"Allison, come on! You can't take that long in the shower!" Shawn complained while his fist hit the white door that lead into the bathroom. As it turned out, Juliet, Gus, and Lassie were all right when the newest Spencer came 16 years ago. They named her Allison Nicole Spencer, and was definitely a carbon copy of Juliet. Her eyes, her hair, her height—and even the way she acted around Gus, Shawn, and Lassie screamed Juliet.

She came out a minute later dressed in a knee-length flowy black skirt with purple blouse and her hair in a fishtail braid in back. "Happy, Dad?" "Very—now let's go so we are able to drop off your sister and brother at school, and then we can get to work." Shawn spoke and walked down the stairs to the front door.

Her dad treated her tough because she was very responsible with everything, and expected her to be that way no matter what. He almost never joked around with her, but he did with the rest of her family. Sometimes it hurt that she never felt like her dad actually loved her. But she knew that deep down that this probably was best for her.

The youngest Spencers, Maddie and Zach, ran out of the kitchen and then Maddie went into their father's arms with a hug. Zach was about eight, and had Shawn's brown hair as well as his hazel eyes. And Maddie, which was short for Madison, had dark brown, curly locks of hair and Juliet's crystal blue eyes. Yet she was Shawn's little princess at five years old. "Hey Madds, are you ready for school?" Shawn asked and picked her up in his arms. Maddie nodded joyfully.

"Yeah! Where's Alli? I want to see how pretty she looks in her detective outfit!" "Is this good, Maddie?" Allison asked while walking down the stairs in her black ballet flats. The little girl nodded again, and Juliet came down the stairs behind her.

She saw her eldest daughter all dressed up and rubbed her back slightly. "You look beautiful, honey. I love the braid too." Allison looked down at her skirt with a little smile forming on her face. She then thanked her and looked up at Shawn.

And like always, he just looked at her—not pleased whatsoever. Juliet gave him a quick look, before grabbing her jacket and police badge. Shawn was then tossed the keys to the car. "Let's go, guys."

Juliet and Allison walked into the Santa Barbra Police Department after Shawn dropped them off before he went off to the Psych agency. Buzz saw the two and approached them. "Hey detective, how are you?" Juliet looked at Allison, who was trying her best not to laugh.

"I'm good, McNab. This is my daughter, Allison. Chief Vick wanted her here to see how being a detective works, almost like an apprentice." She introduced her daughter to him. Buzz held out his hand towards Allison. A goofy grin was still stitched on his face.

Allison slowly grabbed his hand and shook it. "Nice to meet you, officer." "Call me Buzz or McNab. So are you like your dad, a psychic detective?" He asked while sipping his cup of coffee. She shook her head.

Sometimes, she was grateful that she wasn't like her dad. "No, I'm the regular kind like my mom. But seems like my brother is." The last part was mumbled under her breathe so Juliet could barely hear it.

A nudge then came from the mother of three towards her eldest. Allison rubbed her arm after the pain that just went through. "Let's go find Chief Vick. Come on, Al." They bidded farewell to McNab and continued through the building to find the chief.

"O'Hara, I have a new case for you!" Lassie called from his desk as the two came over to Juliet's own desk. "Hi Uncle Lassie." Allison greeted with a quick wave. Lassie looked up from the folder and waved back. For some odd reason, Lassie liked Allison the most out of all the Spencers—excluding Juliet because she was his partner, thus he sort of had to like her.

Sure, Maddie was cute and Zach was amazing when it came to football, but they had the same Spencer genes that Shawn had. And Allison didn't. "Hey Alli. How's school been?" Allison took a seat in her mother's desk, and folded her arms.

"Good—I have to be an apprentice for a certain amount of time for one of my classes." She responded. Lassie nodded, very surprised that she chose detective work for her assignment. "Looks like me teaching you how to shoot a gun will come in handy." Allison nodded, laughing with Lassie.

Lassie had taught Allison how to use a gun when she was around ten years old. He specifically told her that she is not allowed to use one without her mother or father in the area, or unless if she's in immediate danger. It was only used to protect herself and her family. And in his opinion, it felt like he was teaching a young Katniss how to shoot a bow and arrow to get food for her family. But instead, it was teaching a young Allison how to use self-defense with weapons.

She pulled out the blue sheet of paper that had her school information written on it. "And I also need to follow someone, who isn't an immediate family member." Allison pushed the form closer to Lassie, knowing that he wasn't even blood related.

He laughed and leaned back in his chair with a sigh. "Alli, you know how much I love you, right?" Allison nodded. "A lot—or to the moon and back. Something like that!" He took the sheet and looked up at her, showing a mischievous grin.

"Then I'll do it, just for you though, Alli." Lassie then signed the paper and she cheered quietly to herself. Juliet smiled at the scene. "Now, Al, if you just got along as great with your dad as you do with Lassie." "But Dad practically hates me, Mom!" She gasped and shook her head. Juliet knew that wasn't true whatsoever.

Allison took back the sheet and while the two detectives shook their heads. "Alli, your dad loves you. Even if he's stupid, irresponsible, ugly—" "Carlton!" Juliet scolded Lassie, using his full name like she always did. "But, he does love you. Trust me, I remember what your father told me the day you were born."

She was suddenly interested, and leaned forward on the desk to listen to her 'uncle.' Juliet turned to him in surprise. "What did he say, Carlton?" Lassie shrugged and leaned back in his chair. He remembered the night of Allison's birth like it was just yesterday.

Lassie was at his Thanksgiving dinner with Marlowe's family before getting a call from Juliet about the baby coming. At the moment, Shawn was at the store and wasn't near his partner at the time. Lassie was the one who made it to Juliet, drove her to the hospital, and waited until Shawn came with Gus and Chief Vick an hour later. But what Shawn told him after Allison was born was something kept between them, and them only. Lassie swore that he would never tell anyone what Shawn told him. "I can't tell you both. Spencer made me swear that I couldn't tell anyone." He spoke simply.

Chief Vick came out from her office and saw the three chatting at her detectives' desks. "Spencer, Lassiter, I see you both got your case." Allison sat there in the chair, silent. She was also good friends with Chief Vick, as well as her daughter, Iris. Iris and Allison used to go to the same school, before Iris graduated last year.

"Hello Allison!" The chief greeted her with a hug. Allison got up to return the hug before grabbing a pale green form, much like the blue one she gave Lassie just minutes ago. Karen examined the form and nodded. "You have your school project this year, huh? Let me guess, Ms. Houston's class?"

Allison nodded with a smile. "Yeah, she wanted me to do something different from the others, and I asked her if this was a good idea." Chief Vick shook her head. "Sounds like something that every teacher says to Miss Allison Spencer." Juliet nodded. "Definitely. I always get a strange call every few weeks from one of her teachers. They're saying that they want Alli to do something different from what the other students are doing. And I'm just like, 'Hey, go for it.'" They all joined in the laughter before being asked to go into Chief Vick's office to have a short meeting over the case.

Across the room, she could see her dad and her Uncle Gus sneaking into the office. Like always, they wanted to hear what case Juliet and Lassie were on. "This last week, a twelve year old girl named Maya was abducted near the park. We have no clue yet on why someone would like to take her, or who would take her. There are a few suspects in this case though." Chief Vick pointed to six black and white pictures that were near the girl's picture.

Shawn was able to see one of the pictures, as well as another one. 'Quincy Brison, Austin Baux, Stevie Tiu, Thompson Rhodes, Micah Burkes, Simon Li…' He made sure to remember all these names before leaving. "—Brison has worked with Yin before, but as an accomplice. This means that he can be dangerous, if Yin showed him how to do these things. But—" "Woah, woah, woah, woah. Chief, are you saying that we might we getting involved with Yin and Yang again?" Gus asked, since he was actually listening unlike Shawn. "Yes, Gus, we are."

"I'm in." The phrase came out of Juliet's mouth worriedly. She had handled not only Yin before, but also his crazy accomplices that sometimes would help him. Shawn stepped forward behind Juliet. He wasn't so sure that Juliet—his Jules—should be messing with a former accomplice of Yin's.

Allison looked to Lassie, then to her mother, then to her father. This could be her actual, real case. "Me too." "Allison, you are definitely not doing this case." Shawn told her bluntly. He knew for a fact that Allison would not, nor ever, be going against somebody from the Yin and Yang circle. Her foot hit the ground in anger. "I am too! And nothing is going to stop me from doing so, right Uncle Lassie?"

Lassie shrugged at Allison. "I can't believe I'm saying this, but I agree with your dad. You should probably take a step back from this case and do a case with McNab or Gus. Yin and Yang are too dangerous to be dealt with. I can't even imagine what their accomplices would be like." Chief Vick stopped Lassie immediately.

"If anybody in Yin or Yang's immediate circle of former accomplices know about any of the Spencer children, then obviously Allison, Zach, or even Maddie would be one of their targets next to Shawn, Juliet, Carlton, Gus, and me. I agree with your father and Carlton on this one, Allison. It would be best for you to stay with Zach and Maddie at my house or even Gus and Rachel's." Henry spoke and grabbed his granddaughter's hand to lead her out of the room. She did know that she was an immediate danger to the operation, but she wanted to help. Was that such a crime in itself?

At Henry's home, Allison typed rapidly on her laptop's keys while talking to Iris Vick. She was still outraged that no one at the police station believed that she could help with the investigation. "Alli?" A little voice peaked into the door, and it opened slowly. Allison looked to see Maddie standing there with her duck in hand and in her nightgown. "What's wrong, bug?"

She asked lovingly and placing her laptop aside. "I keep having nightmares, about Mommy and Daddy and you and Zach and Uncle Lassie and Uncle Gus and Auntie Marlowe." Maddie was known for having the weirdest nightmares. "What happened to us?"

"Daddy and Mommy were killed by the bad guys that Grandpa was talking to you and Zach about earlier." Maddie leaned onto Allison's chest and began to cry. It had only been two days since the case about Maya's disappearance was opened and the Spencer children were sent to live with Henry until the case was solved. "You're okay, Maddie-bug. Mommy and Daddy are safe and I know it. Do you want to call them?"

Maddie nodded slowly and grabbed Allison's phone from the end of the bed. They called the two, who stayed at their house and were away from all of the terror that unraveled before the Spencer family. "Hello?" "Mommy? Is that you?" She asked and clutched the yellow duck closer to chest. "Maddie? Is that you, pumpkin?" Juliet's voice called through the phone.

"Yeah, Mommy, it's Maddie. Are you and Daddy still okay?" "Yeah, baby. We're here in the living room. Do you want to talk to Daddy too?" Maddie looked up to Allison, who nodded. "Yes please." They could hear Juliet call for Shawn to come over so he could also talk to his daughters. "Maddie, bug, is it you?" "Yeah, Daddy. It's Maddie."

"How's Grandpa's house?" She grinned upon hearing her father's voice. "Good! Grandpa's always with Zach, so I get to play with Alli all the time!" "Hey Madds, can I talk to Alli really quick? I'll talk with you in a second. Go grab your brother while she talks with me." "Okay!" The five year old passed the phone to Allison, before running off to grab Zach.

Allison put the phone to her ear. "Hi Dad. What's up?" Shawn laughed into the phone and chopped something again. "Just wanted to check in on you three. How Maddie and Zach taking the news?" "Good, Zach's just chilling most of the time. I'm always talking with Iris about it. And Maddie always worries about her princesses and stuffed animals that she left with you and Mom." Zach came into the room with Maddie.

"Are you all here, Al?" "All here, Dad." Shawn called for Juliet and the three siblings got comfortable on Allison's bed. "We have some very exciting news for you guys." "What is it? Are we moving?" Zach asked. He always wondered about everything. Their parents laughed. "No, we wanted to tell you that we're having another baby- which means that you guys might be able to move back into the house soon. Because Mommy's going to be here all day, and not at work. Is that okay with all of you?" They all nodded and told them their answer. "Yeah!" The couple talked with their children before wishing them goodnight and hanging up.

Midnight struck, and Maddie was still asleep with Allison in her bed. She heard the winds outside howl and whistle, and the branches of the tree hit the wall. It scared her a little bit, but she knew that it wasn't going to hurt her. All of the sudden, the window opened and shut.

A loud thump hit the floor boards of the room. "Alli?" Maddie whispered, not to be heard by the mysterious thing. Allison's blue eyes opened and looked at Maddie's blue eyes as well. "What Madd?" She yawned and wiped her face of the sleepiness.

"I heard a noise. Like the window opening, and then a thump." Allison got out of bed and looked around the room. She wasn't stepping on anything and nothing was grabbing her—which obviously was a good sign. It made her remember when she was Maddie's age of how she forced both Shawn and Juliet to go into her room—with their guns—and make sure nobody else was in there.

Allison looked back at Maddie while in bed. "Maddie, there's nothing in here!" "Alli!" Maddie warned as a big man in black snuck up behind her with a bag in hand. "There's nothing here!" "Alli! Behind you!" Before she could fully see who was behind her, a bag went over her head and she screamed for help. Maddie began to do the same. "Grandpa Henry! Zach! Mommy! Daddy! Uncle Lassie! Help!"

Another person came to the side of the bed and grabbed Maddie like a baby. Duct tape was placed loosely over her mouth to avoid the screaming. "Madison Grace, just be quiet!" The person told them and took her out the window. Allison was unconscious for the time being, due to the bag having some kind of gas that made her faint. They were carried into a dark van and were driven off speedily, hoping to avoid both the cops and the Spencers.

One a.m.—and still no sign of the van that took Maddie and Allison. Juliet and Shawn had arrived there once getting a call from Henry about how the girls were taken from him. All that was left behind from the getaway van was a wing from Maddie's duck that must've been taken with her. Shawn found it and picked up, almost cradling it in his arms. It was all they had left of Maddie. "Shawn—" "Juliet," She looked up at him with the same blue eyes that both of his daughters had. "War has just begun."
