Shawn's Promise

by psycho1221

When a case threatens Juliet's safety, Shawn reminds her of his promise and takes matters into his own hands. Probably better than is sounds. Lots of Shules! Rated T for language. My first story that's not a one-shot.

2. Chapter 2

Shawn's Promise Chapter 2

This chapter is mostly Shules, not much on the case. I'll try to bring Gus and Henry in, but not yet sure how they'll work in this story.

"Jules..." Shawn warned. "I don't like being out in the open with you when a psycho killer wants to murder you." He started taking longer strides down the boardwalk. Juliet, her hand in his, struggled to catch up.

"Shawn," She almost laughed. "I'm going to be fine, okay?" Shawn gave her a small smile but tightened his grip on her. "Okay." He said uneasily.

Two days ago the note and photo had been discovered outside the station. It was Saturday, so Juliet had the day off. Shawn hardly let his girlfriend see the light, so when he offered to bring her down to the boardwalk Juliet quickly agreed.

Shawn lead Juliet to her car and opened the driver door. She sat down as he got in the other side.

"Let's go home now."

"Aw, Shawn! I haven't gotten to go out in a while. How about we stop at the station and see if Carlton has any leads from the security footage?"

"Lassie works on the weekends?" Shawn asked, unsurprised yet shocked at the same time.

"Not usually, but this case has got him going crazy."

"Ok then."

"Hey Lassie-Face!" Shawn greeted.

"Get lost Spencer." Lassiter rolled his eyes before Juliet walked up to them.

"He's here with me. We were just wondering if you found anything with the security tapes."

"Fine. Don't stay for long." Lassiter looked at Shawn.

"The footage from Mario's isn't great, but I can recognize the same clothes on the boardwalk tapes." He paused the boardwalk security video and pointed to a man in the corner.

"He's a suspect. You can see the black shirt and red shorts in both videos." Shawn turned to look at Juliet and see her reaction, but she was standing there as still as stone.

"You okay O'Hara?" Lassiter asked.

"I... That's Alex."

"Who the hell is Alex?"

"Alex Carpenter. He stalked me years ago... How did he find me?"

Nobody replied as Lassiter ran to his computer to look up the name. Shawn tried to calm Juliet down.

"It's ok Jules."
