Bringing the truth to light
Chapter 1: The vision
….. (SBPD)
Carlton Lassiter was enjoying his morning until his calm thoughts were shattered by the frantic voice of Gus screaming "Oh my god, Shawn!"
Lassiter whirled around to see what had Gus so agitated and stared in shock as the annoying psychic, Shawn Spencer, fell to the floor in the middle of the station and started seizing. No one knew that Shawn was having a vision of three hours into the future. In a flash Lassiter was at Shawn's side. He had no idea how he got to the psychic's side so quickly, but how didn't matter because Lassiter was there now, and he was worried.
"Call an ambulance!" Lassiter barked at no one in particular. "Do it now!" He screeched when no one moved to obey him.
Gus whipped out his phone with a quickly uttered "On it" and rushed out of the room to dial 911 for his best friend. The ambulance arrived moments after Shawn had stopped seizing. Shawn remained unconscious even as the EMTs loaded him into the waiting ambulance.
….. (Mercy Hospital)
Shawn groaned as he opened his eyes. The first thing that Shawn noticed was that he was in a hospital room the second thing that Shawn noticed was that the person sitting on the chair beside his bed wasn't his dad nor Gus, It was none other than head detective Carlton Lassiter. Shawn tried to sit up but was stopped by Lassiter's hand. Lassiter gently pushed Shawn back down on the bed.
"Lay down Spencer, you shouldn't be trying to get up now because you had just had a seizure not even half an hour ago." Lassiter said quietly.
"Lassie I'm fine it was just a vision. I don't need to be treated like I'm fragile even if it is just from you." Shawn said softly because he could feel Lassiter's concern for him.
Lassiter snorted disbelievingly. "Spencer since when have your 'Visions' ever made you pass out and start seizing?" Lassiter asked with a snarl. Lassiter's eyes narrowed at the psychic as Shawn blushed. "What are you hiding Spencer?" Lassiter asked dreadfully.
"Uh, this is kind of the first vision I've had about the future." Shawn said embarrassedly not looking at Lassiter as he spoke.
"So, are you saying that you have lied to us all of these years when you have spouted all of that psychic crap spencer?" Lassiter asked excitedly.
"No I am not saying that I was lying about be psychic Lassie but I am saying that this is the only vision I have had about the future so far. Mostly when I have a vision it is about something that has already happened." Sawn had explained to Lassiter patiently. Lassiter blinked at Shawn in surprise but did not really believe that Shawn was a real psychic.
"Well Spencer what did you see?" Lassiter asked in incredulous exasperation.
"Lassie why did you even bother asking the question if you don't even believe I'm psychic? Well, if you must know, in about three hours from now a thirteen year old girl by the name of Madeline Monroe is going to be abducted from her school, Washburn Middle School." Shawn informed Lassiter.
Lassiter was not sure that he believed in Shawn's abilities but he did not want to risk blowing off Shawn's information because of Shawn's almost perfect track record with the SBPD. "Do you have any idea who is going to try to abduct her Spencer?" Lassiter questioned Shawn.
"No I don't know the name of the man who is going to snatch her Lassie, but I do know that he is tall and kind of chunky with dark brown hair. I also saw that the man is going to be wearing a hoodie the color of dying grass with dark brown khakis." Shawn said.
"How am I supposed to know who he is if you can't give me a name Spencer?" Lassiter asked Shawn heatedly.
"All you have to do is keep a close eye on her Lassie then you will catch him." Shawn answered.
"Fine but if this is bogus I am going to personally throw you into jail for the misuse of police resources." Lassiter snapped with annoyance.
