Chapter Two

Chief Vick forced Shawn into her office and closed the blinds. Only when she closed the blinds was Lassiter interested. Juliet watched Lassie tip toe to the door and put his ear to the window.

"Lassiter, what are you doing?" Juliet whispered loud enough so he could hear.

Lassiter put up his hand to silence her then whispered back. "Ten thirteen."

Juliet paused and thought for a moment. "A police radio code? Confidential information?" She nodded in understanding. With that she tip toed to Lassie and slowly placed her ear against the door.

Vick sat down in her chair and sighed, fingering though a file. Shawn sat there nervous and impatient, he thought about a world where puppy would eat cheese and he could eat pineapple whenever he desired.

"Shawn," Shawn looked at Chief Vick with big innocent eyes. "you're not in trouble so knock it off."

Shawn sat up straight. "Sorry Chief I was just imagining a big assignment, it had puppies and cheese. I was the king who would wear a pineapple crown and dance around the fire. Then the dogs rebelled against me and took my pineapple fortress." He crossed his arms and put his right leg over his left.

"Shawn that's, that's quite interesting. Now about you going to Washington DC I rather you take Lassiter and Juliet with you."

At that moment there was a loud 'yes' from outside the door.

"Carlton! Get in here now!" Vick crossed her arms.

Lassiter poked his head in and smiled and scratched the back of his head.

"What are you doing?" Vick raised an eyebrow and smiled slightly.

"What am I doing? Well, I am," He looked around the room. "I am just, ugh, I was just cleaning the window?" He looked down.

"Isn't that sweet, Lassie face!" Shawn smiled and winked at Jewels who was peeking around the corner.

"Uh huh, Carlton you and O'Hara will accompany Shawn to the capitol, make sure he doesn't do anything stupid. Now out." Chief frowned and gave a file to Lassiter.

Shawn got up and walked out into the hall where Jewels was waiting.

"Shawn, why are we going to Washington DC?" Jewels watched Carlton smile his evil and pitiful smile as he read the case.

Shawn grabbed Juliet's shoulder. "To help Ben Gates." He held a finger to his head. "Ah! I can feel truth in his words! Oh, Jewels they think he is insane!" Shawn flopped around and suddenly went back to standing up straight and eating a doughnut.

"Hey! Which one of you ate my jelly doughnut!" Carlton flipped around and looked at everyone in the room until Spencer came into sight, his mouth covered with jelly and his hand covered with glaze.

"Spencer!" Lassiter bolted after Shawn as he ran out the door.

IN two minutes there was more shouting a girly screams then Shawn hit the window causing everybody to watch Lassiter drag Spencer. Shawn continued to scream and try to get Shawn to stand up but he was running and rolling into anything nearby.

"Carlton, Spencer!" Chief Vick stood next to Jewels and Gus.

Lassie jumped into a gentleman like position as Shawn just looked at the Chief upside down.

"Spencer go home and pack, Carlton you too." She turned to Juliet and Gus. "Make sure they are ready by eleven tomorrow." She rubbed her forehead and walked inside only imagining what those two might do in the presence of the President.
