June 23, Santa Barbara Police Department, California:
"So you see Gus, if it wasn't for my genius and excellent martial arts skills, we would've never caught that guy." Shawn Spencer was saying to his best friend as they walked into the Santa Barbara Police Department. "Shawn, the guy would've kicked you butt if Juliet hadn't shown up with her gun." Gus replied flatly looking at his friend.
"Well, if you put it that way…oh look there's Lassie!" Shawn quickly changed the subject and started walking over to the desk that said 'Carlton Lassiter'. "What do you want Spencer? I don't have time to talk to imbeciles like you." Lassiter said walking away towards the Chief's office.
Chief Vick, Juliet O'Hara and Shawn's father, Henry Spencer, were speaking when they walked in. "Mr. Spencer, Mr. Guster, if you please, we have no need of your service in this case." Chief told them looking towards the door as a sign for them to get out.
Gus raised his hands and started to back out the door, but Shawn, of course, had to have his say. "I'm hurt Chief. That you would let my father, who looks like he belongs in a Hawaiian fishermen's club, with his hideous choice of shirts and what not, in a case that would be more fitting for a Psychic!"
Lassiter looked like he was trying to hide a smile, Juliet and Gus were looking from Shawn to Chief Vick to Henry, Henry looked like he was about to give Shawn a piece of his mind. "Mr. Spencer you do not even know what the case is." Chief looked frustration, but also like she knew this was coming.
Shawn put his hand up to his head, putting on his Psychic show. He started humming, then peeked one eye open to where no one noticed and looked over the files on the Chief's desk and read the words, "Psychopath", "Kidnapping", and "FBI". "Yes! I am getting something! It is a kidnapping, the FBI is involved, tracking a Psychopath!" Shawn spoke rather loudly and brought his hands down.
"That's amazing!" Juliet exclaimed smiling at Shawn. "Not really." Gus, Henry, and Lassie all said in unison. Shawn glared at them all. "No, you're not going to be helping on this case, I'm sorry. They might need you down here." Chief Vick looked downcast. "Is something wrong Karen-er-Chief?" Lassie asked curiously.
"Well, it's just that the woman who was kidnapped is the wife of a friend of mine." Chief Vick shook her head. "Listen, Henry, I wanted you down here to see if you would like to help?" Henry looked at Shawn and smirked saying, "I would love to help, just for you."
"Wait, Chief, if I may ask, why did you say that they might meet us here? Is the kidnapping happening somewhere outside Santa Barbara?" Gus asked politely. Chief nodded. "Yes. The reason we are getting involved is because they knew I was good and knew the Burkes'. Henry, O'Hara, Lassiter, pack your bags - we're going to Miami."
"What?" Shawn yelled. "So not fair!" Lassiter started chuckling. "Life's not fair Spencer." Lassie walked out of the room, practically skipping. O'Hara and Henry walked out as well. Shawn started spluttering incoherent words, looking dumbstruck.
"Out, Mr. Spencer, I have work to be done." Chief said waving her hand towards the door. "Gus! Say something smart that might get us to Miami!" Shawn yelled looking at Gus pointing at Chief Vick. Gus shook his head saying, "No Shawn, let's leave Chief Vick alone." Shawn just shook his head still pointing.
Gus gave a helpless look to Chief Vick then thought for a second. "We have been working hard lately, solved a lot of cases, we deserve a vacation." Gus said slowly, thinking closely about what he had said. "Ha! Yes! See? And we're taking a vacation to Miami!" Shawn exclaimed.
"That's okay, just if I find out that you're getting yourself in police business, you'll be arrested for getting involved illegally in police business ." Chief Vick explained flatly. "Yes! Haha! Here that Gus? We're going to Miami!" Shawn punched the air excitedly.
Gus shook his head, "For what reason Shawn? We weren't put on the case?" but Shawn wasn't listen; he was dancing happily saying, "Miami, Miami!". Gus shook his head and walked out of the room, Shawn following behind.
Lassie, and Jules both looked oddly at Shawn, he waved at them and mouthed, "See you in Miami!"
Juliet smirked, shaking her head. Lassie was dumbstruck, and stumbled as he went to ask the Chief about it.
Juliet thought quietly to herself, Shawn can smuggle his way into anything, can't he?
