This story has no pairing. Basically Shawn and Gus are going to be put through physical, emotional and mental challenges. To survive the game they have to play by the rules and use what they know to get off the island. It briefly mentions past Shules but there will actually be no Shules in this story.

Yes! Psychic101 can write a story with no Shules. It takes great effort but it can be done!


I woke up in a cell, it was dark and creepy yet I seemed unharmed. I sat up and rubbed the back of my head moaning when I hit a soft spot. Gus was about ten feet away from me knocked out.

"Gus!" I hissed I smacked his legs and he jerked up.

"Wha- Where are we Shawn?" he asked looking at me with bleary eyes.

"I don't know." I stood up and walked into the door. It was an iron bar gate, the metal slowly rusting.

"Are we in prison?" Gus stood and looked around. I turned and finally noticed the room we were in. There was a single cot that was pushed against the wall. Shelves were behind the cot against the wall covered in photos, games, books and random things. There was a toilet in the corner too.

"What the hell?" I looked around.

"Glad you could join us Red team." A voice said. Gus and I looked down and noticed we had been changed out of our suits into a red shirt, with plain jeans.

"Where are we!" I yelled gripping the iron doors.

"Welcome to The Great Escape." The voice said.

12 Hours Ago

"Well it's a big day." Gus sighed looking at me.

"Yup." I fixed my black tie. Today was Officer Tony Brimstone's funeral. He had been gun down weeks ago and today was when we said goodbye. He was a good friend to me and Gus. We got out of the blueberry and walked into the cemetery. We were met by Lassie and Jules.

Lassie was in a pressed black suit, with a black tie similar to my own. It honestly looked like his normal suit. Jules was in a black dress that went to mid-thigh; her hair was tied in a ponytail. She had cross earrings, and a cross necklace. After our breakup things had been a little tense between us but we were getting along.

"You're late." Lassie snapped at me.

"Shut it Lassie. I had trouble-" I started.

"What? Getting your hair done? Finding your keys? Oh wait finding a pineapple." Lassie said. Ever since Jules and I had broken up he had been and ass to me.

"Getting myself together." I finished. I pushed past them and walked down the pathway. Gus was by my side in seconds. I had grown up at the police department and I had known Tony just about my whole life. I heard footsteps rushing to catch up and I heard whispers coming from Jules.

"Stop being a dick Carlton." She hissed and he said something back. Tony had a big crowd turn up. Between his family, friends, co-workers and just random people he had befriended I estimated over two-hundred and fifty people all together.

"There you are." Macy Tony's wife said as I approached her.

"Hey Macy," I gave a tiny smile while hugging her.

"I'm glad you could make it." She told me as she pulled away.

"I wouldn't have missed it." I said with the fake smile still plastered onto my face.

"I remember when you were just this tall," she held her hand about up to her waist "You were crying away because your dad had refused to let you come on a stake out." She chuckled at the memory.

"I was 5," I chuckled with her.

"Still. You were a son to him Shawn. He would want you to know that." I suddenly saw how old she looked. Her white hair was curled; she wore a simple black skirt and black sweater. She was no longer the young woman that had become my second mom but an old widow.

"I know." She nodded before turning and greeting other guests.

"Come on," Gus gripped my arm and we walked over inside the church. After a very heart wrenching service it was time to see Tony off. Everyone walked down the graveyard and watched as old Tony was lowered six feet under. Gus stayed close to me at all times. He knew I didn't do well with death especially when I was really close to the person or thing. He had a hand on my shoulder for ease and I let him. My mom had flown in and was standing next to Macy giving her some comfort, while dad was standing on the other side of me.

"Thanks for coming," Macy came over to us during the wake.

"It was…" I stopped mid-sentence realizing where I had been going.

"We had to Macy." Mom gave a sad smile and dad a nod. After the wake Gus and I walked back out to his blue echo. We stood in front of the car, just standing there. The wake was still going on but it was too much even for me so I asked Gus to take me home.

"Thanks Gus," I said and he nodded. We moved forward and hugged. I lifted my head and noticed a red truck heading our way.

"Gus move!" I tried to move Gus and me out of the way but we were hit by the truck.

Present

"Where's his voice coming from?" Gus and I looked all around the cell.

"Speakers!" I pointed to a big black speaker in the roof. Not just the cell roof but the actual celling. That covered everything.

"Very good red team." The voice said. From the voice I could tell it was man.

"What are we doing here?" I yelled.

"To play the game!" the voice cheered.

"Yay!" I gave fake enthusiasm looking at Gus. I looked around again and I actually recognized where we were. "Gus I know where we are." I gulped.

"Where?"

"Alcatraz."


Review and I might just give you a pineapple...
