Wolves? Check. Vampires? Perhaps. Fake Psychic...REAL Psychic? Yes, Shawn Spencer is a very real psychic and happens to be in very real danger. Six months following the events "The Break Up", Shawn Spencer returns to the sleepy town of Santa Barbara while his fiance, Juliet O'Hara attends a law enforcement conference in New York City. The question is, what does he return too?

1. Chapter 1: Goodbye, Hello

Chapter 1:

"Shawn, are you sure about this? I can always just tell Karen that I don't want to go to that conference." Detective Juliet O'Hara projected her voice loud enough for her freshly minted fiancé to hear while brushing his teeth. It had been approximately six months since leaving Santa Barbra and establishing roots in San Francisco. Everything finally seemed to be on the up and up; Shawn had the girl of his dreams, a head full of beautiful hair, and even a part time consulting job with the S.F.P.D. Jules even knew Shawn's secret, that he was fake psychic...

Technically speaking, Shawn Spencer was a real psychic pretending to be a fake psychic. There are days when he has difficulty with this. After a close call on a case not to long ago; Shawn decided to do the mature thing and let it slip. During Lassiter's and Marlowe's wedding reception, he made sure to leave an obvious clue for his wonderful girlfriend to find in his jacket. In truth, there was a completely invisible world embedded into everyday life that only a few knew existed. Shawn was one and a certain Head Detective was another.

"Jules, you wound me to think that I am unable to watch after myself for a few days." Spencer flashed an adorable puppy dog face the moment he stepped from the bathroom. "Everything's already paid for and who wouldn't want to visit New York? Go relax on the backs of taxpayer's dollars." O'Hara lets out a melodious laugh. "If I didn't know any better Shawn, I would say that you are kicking me out." Narrowing her eyes, she pulled Shawn into a warm kiss before pulling back to glance into his brown orbs. "Fine, but when I return you're going to be stuck with me for an entire week and no getting out of it."

Approximately an hour later, Shawn waved after Juliet as she crossed over the terminal threshold inside of the local airport. "Bye honey muffin!" He couldn't help but have the last word before turning on heels, making towards the exit. "Three days of complete and unsupervised freedom, what could possibly go wrong?" The Universe seemed to have an answer for him because it was in that moment that his cell phone started to ring. "Lassie?" He asked to no one in particular before picking up.

"Hello Chief."
