CHAPTER THREE

The time was 6:00 am

Ella woke up, like she always had in the last 16 years of her life

After she went to the bathroom, she headed towards the living room, where her father was snoring loudly on the couch

She stood there for a minute staring down at him and smiled at his uncomfortable position, he was sleeping in

He was on his back, head resting on the very end of the couch with his mouth open; his left arm was stuck underneath his back, while his right arm was freely hanging off the couch

Just then she heard his voice

"What are you doing awake at…6am?" Shawn said surprised, his eyes still closed from sleeping

"I always get up at this time" she said simply

"Come on Ella! Go back to sleep, you need it" he said and turned to lie on his stomach

"It's ok dad, I got used to it all these years" Ella said kinda sad

"But I haven't, go to sleep" he said waving his arm to the bedrooms direction

"You sleep, I'm gonna…do, err something"

"You are sleeping too missy" Shawn said

"You can't make me" she replied stubbornly

"Oh yes I do" he said smirking and with a quick motion, he grabbed Ella by her waist and pinned her on the couch, next to him

"Dad! Stop it" she said giggling but she didn't tried to get up

"Sleep Ella" he said firmly but still smiling

"Ok…" she said and quickly she fell asleep

Shawn took a minute to stare the sleeping girl in his arms

His daughter

He couldn't stop thinking what he saw. The bruises and the scars

Who could possibly hurt her?

He was determined to find out, but not now

Right now, they sleep


They both woke up a few hours later

They were going to meet Gus at 'Psych' and then they were going to visit the Santa Barbara police department

"Morning Gus" Shawn said coming in

"It's noon Shawn" Gus said

"Hello to you too, baldy" Ella said coming in

"Ella, always a pleasure" Gus said sarcastically

"Ohh, I know you love me Gus" she said and gave him a quick hug

"Deep, deep down, rock bottom actually" Gus said and gave a little smile

"Come on, let's get this show on the road" Shawn said clapping his hands

"Man, Lassiter is going to flip" Gus said laughing and Ella asked annoyed

"Who the hell is Lassiter?"


They finally arrived at the police department

According to Shawn it was a very a busy day, due the recent murders

And true. Inside, it was like a madhouse!

Officers running with papers and folders on their hands and others with coffees

After they were given their passes, they finally stopped in front of a desk, which the man behind it was working on the computer

"Hi Lassie, what's up?" Shawn asked casually

"Go away Spencer" he said roughly

"I love you too Lassie" Ella's dad continued, that earned him a deadly glare from the detective

"Hello Shawn, Gus. What are you guys doing here?" a female voice said

Ella looked at the blonde woman in front of her and saw how her dad was looking at her

"Jules! We just came here to say hi, right Gus?" Shawn said

"Leave me out of this" Gus said that made Ella chuckle a little

"As you see Shawn, were kinda busy" she said and as Shawn and Gus were about to leave, Ella nudged his father in the ribs

"Oh yeah, I forgot. Jules I'd like you to meet Ella" Shawn said, not yet ready to continue

"Nice to meet you Ella" she said giving her hand "I'm detective Juliet O'Hara and this one" she quickly grabbed Lassiter as he was walking next to her " Detective Carlton Lassiter"

"New girlfriend, Spencer?" Lassiter asked, raising his eyebrow

"What? Dude no! That's just gross" Shawn said

"Definitely not THAT" Gus also said

Ella just smiled and gave her hand "I'm Ella and there are trash cans you know"

"What do you mean?" asked Lassiter

"For the thing that died on you face" she said innocently, referring to his moustache that caused everyone to laugh, including Chief Vick, who just came out of her office

If staring could kill, Ella Spencer would be dead before she could hit the floor

"Relax Carlton" chief Vick said "Who is your friend Mr. Spencer that keeps my team from working?" she asked

"Sorry about that ma'am" Ella said to Vick

"Ella this is Chief Vick, Chief Vick this is my daughter Ella" Shawn said with one breath

Silence

Wide eyes

Raised eyebrows

Open mouths

That was the reaction of the group

"Dad I don't think they are breathing" Ella said looking at the people in front of her

"Don't be silly Ella!" Shawn said and then turned to Gus "Are they breathing?"

"I don't know Shawn, it was quite a shock" Gus replied

Just then, someone decided to speak

"Your daughter?" Lassiter asked Shawn

"Yap"

"Your father?" he asked Ella

"Last time I checked, yeah"

"Your DNA?" Lassie asked Shawn again

"Definitely" Shawn answered with a smile

"Oh my god, I'm doomed" Lassiter said and sat down on a chair, his head resting on the desk

"Well…that was" Chief Vick started "unexpected"

"Totally" Juliet said

"Why? Why?" Lassiter mumbled, his head still on the desk

"Oh…grow up Carlton" Chief said "Nice to meet you Ella and I hope to see you again"

"Don't worry you will" Ella said smiling

"Nooooo" Lassiter cried

"Now, that I look the two of you" Juliet started "you do look alike"

Shawn smiled but Ella frowned

"Oh God no! Don't tell me that I have his nose?" she said touching hers and they all, well almost all, laughed

"It would be an honor young lady!" Shawn said to her

"More like a curse" she mumbled

"You sure are Shawn Spencer's kid" Chief said smiling that made Lassiter actually bang his head on the wooden desk

Ella came behind Lassiter and gave him a hug

"Don't worry Lassie, you and I are going to have a great time" she said and winked at the others

Lassiter growled

"Just kill me now"
