Chapter 1
"Oh no! Your not trying to set me upon a date again are you, Amber?" Natalie asked the woman, Amber, on the other line of the phone "Yes! But I'm tellin' you, Nat this guy is cute!" the woman on the other line said
"Yea, so what? Is he nice? Is he sweet? Is he even a gentleman?" Natalie asked
"Yea. I'm pretty sure. And come on I've know you for about what, a year now? And tell me, when have I ever gone wrong with a date?" Amber asked
Natalie sounded sarcastic, "Well let me think...there's been Roger, Bill, and Jeffery and they have all been good looking, but not even a speck kind! They were all to vein!"
"Yea, but this one's different, his name is Shawn and he is soohohoho cute! He is a private Psychic detective and..." Natalie cut Amber short, "Woooooooh no, no, no!! I work for a detective and he is strange enough! And this guy is a Psychic?!! NOOOO!!"
"Awww come on! Just one more time! I know! I'm dating his best friend, we will make it a double date! How fun would that be?" Amber said
"Come on Amber! No!" Natalie protested
but Amber was desperate, "PLEASE!!! Ok, if you go out just this one last time I'll never set up another date again, and let you find Mr. Right the slow way. Alright?"
"You promise?" Natalie asked
"Yes, I promise." Amber said
"Ok. This one double-date and that's it." Natalie said
"Yes! Besides, I already told him you'd go! It is tomorrow. That work for you?" Amber asked
"Yea, I guess so." Natalie said half-heartedly
"I'm so excited! Oh! And when we get together, I gotta talk to you about what I heard my boss say at work. I don't know what to do about it." Amber said
"Well, can't you tell me now?" Natalie inquired
"Oh no! I can't talk about it over the phone." Amber sounded worried
"Alright. Well, do you wanna come over and talk about it now?" Natalie asked
"Ya know, that wouldn't be a bad ide...oh wait, there is someone at the door. Hold on." she said, sounding annoyed
"Ok." Natalie replied. She heard Amber over the receiver, "Hey! what are you doing here?" she heard Amber ask, but then all of a sudden she heard Amber screaming like she was scared, "No! Don't! Don't come near me! No please don't do this! I won't tell anyone what I heard I swear!"
"No. You won't." a male voice responded, then she heard Amber choking, "Amber? Amber what's wrong? What happened? Amber answer me!!" Natalie yelled over her end of the phone, then she heard a, "Click" and there was silence.
"Oh my gosh. I-I-I gotta call the captain." so she quickly dialed the captain's number and told him what she heard. He said he would meet her at Amber's house and so Natalie gave him directions. She then woke up her daughter, Julie, who was asleep, and they got in the car and drove to Amber's house.
(Then you hear an odd mixture of the Monk theme song and the Psych theme song with little clips of each show)
"Where are we going mom?" Julie asked sleepily
"We have to go to Amber's house." Natalie told her
"But why? I mean, its so late!" Julie complained
"We just do!" Natalie almost yelled at her daughter, Julie looked frightened
"I'm sorry," she quickly apologized. "But I think she might have been killed."
"Oh, momma! I'm so sorry..I-I didn't know. Oh that's horrible!" Julie said, she looked like she was about to cry.
"Oh sweetie, it's alright. I just don't know if she is alive or not. Please don't cry! There might be a chance she is still alive." Natalie said,
"But shouldn't we call Mr. Monk?" Julie asked
Natalie replied quickly, "No, not yet. I want to wait until I know if Amber is alive or not." she said, and with that, started to cry.
Chapter 2
"So, Amber told me yesterday that you have a date tonight." said a man named Burton Guster (mainly known as Gus) to his best friend Shawn Spencer. "Yup! Waiiiit how did you know that?" Shawn asked
"You tell me. What happened to the whole "I'm soooo Psychic" thing you were just boasting about a minute ago?" Gus said sarcastically
"Oh come on Gus, we have been playing this charade for quite a while now. We both know that I am a FAKE!"
"Oh yea! WE know that but the other detectives don't! Oh well...anyway! I know you're going on a date because Amber said that it is going to be a double date."
"Oh! Who's the other couple?"
"TomKat! Come on Shawn who do you think? Me and Amber!" Gus said
"Oh! That should be fun then! I could impress my date with my "Psychic abilities" yesssssss!!!" Shawn said
"See?! That's what I mean! You are so..." then the phone rang and he didn't get to finish his sentence, "I'll get it." Gus said
"Hello, Psych Detective agency. How may I help you?" Gus said
"Hello, is a Mr. Burton Guster there?" the man on the phone replied
"Speaking."
"Did you know an Amber Chapman?"
"Yea. I'm currently dating her."
"Then I'm afraid I have some bad news."
"What? What is it? Is Amber alright?!"
"I'm afraid that Amber Chapman has committed suicide last night by hanging herself. If you could come down to her house we will give you more details. I'm so sorry"
Gus dropped the phone and staggered backward and dropped on the couch.
"Yo Gus! Who was that? Hey, what's wrong?" Shawn asked
Gus looked up at Shawn, "It's Amber. The person on the phone said that Amber committed suicide." Gus started to cry, "She wouldn't do that. She wouldn't." Gus then broke down and started crying fully. Shawn sat next to Gus and comforted his best friend.
Later, down at Amber's house, Gus and Shawn had just pulled in at the same time as Monk. "Hmmm...I wonder who that is." Shawn said, nodding his head over towards Monk, Gus' eyes were red from crying, " I don't care. Lets just go in. I wanna get this over with." he said
"Alright." Shawn said calmly and they both got out of the car.
Captain Leland Stottlemeyer approached them, "You must be Mr. Spencer and Mr. Guster." he said
"Yes we are. Though you can call us Shawn and Gus, that's fine. Um, we are from the Psych Detective agency." Shawn said
"So you're a Psychic?" Stottlemeyer asked
"Yes sir I am." Shawn replied
"Alrighty" he said sarcastically, "Anyway, Gus I'm really sorry for your loss." Stottlemeyer said
"Yea. I really loved her." Gus said
"I know. Now if you both will follow me." Stottlemeyer said
"Wow!" Shawn exclaimed, as they walked towards the house
"What?" Gus asked
"Who is that?! She is beautiful!" Shawn asked, pointing towards Natalie who was sitting on the front porch with her head resting on her knees. She was clearly crying, and a police officer was trying to get her to talk about what she heard.
"That's Natalie Teeger. She is the assistant of our Private Detective, Adrian Monk. And... that's Adrian over there." he said pointing to Monk, who was twitching and trying to straiten out a crooked mail-box.
"What's he doing?" Shawn asked
"He is trying to straiten out that mail-box."
"Why is trying to do that?" Shawn asked
"He has OCD." Stottlemeyer said
"And that is..." Gus asked
"I'll let Natalie tell you." Stottlemeyer said, "Let's go inside."
And they followed him in the house
In the house, Stottlemeyer tapped Monk on the shoulder, "Hey, Monk." he said "Oh Captain, it's you. I was just about to take a look at the crime scene."
"Ok, but first... Uh, Natalie come here for a minute please. But I want you to meet these two first. Shawn, Gus, this is Adrian Monk and his assistant
Natalie Teeger. Adrian, Natalie, this is Shawn Spencer and Burton Guster."
Shawn and Gus both shook hands with Natalie, (who's eyes were red and puffy by this time) and Monk. But then Monk held out his hand to Natalie and Natalie shoved a wipe in his hands.
"My hands aren't that dirty." Shawn said
"It's not you it's me. I do that with everyone." Monk said, "So you're a psychic, huh?"
"Yes." Shawn said noticing the wedding ring on his finger, and knowing that he had an assistant, "And I am sensing a sadness about you," he said placing his hand over Monk's heart and closing his eyes, "Your wife died didn't she?" he asked
"Yes." Monk said almost bewildered, "But, how did you know?" he asked
Shawn shrugged his shoulders, "I'm psychic." he said
Monk twitched his head, straitened his coat, and walked into the family room where Amber was murdered.
