Just a note - sorry about any mistakes I might make. Writing in english is kinda new for me, but I hope it's bearable. Also thank you very much for all reviews. It may seem I'm ignoring you, but the truth is you guys give me strength to continue!


Previously..

There was dark, everywhere. Then he heard struggle in the next cell and his heart rate began to fasten in immediate fear for his brother. When he heard muffled shout „Dean!" he felt like the whole world just stopped.

„Sam?!" Dean shouted as he was trying get himself to the bars without killing himself in that freakin' dark. He waited for an answer, but it never came. Few seconds later lights were back up and to his horror his brother was gone.


„Sam?!" Shawn heard when he reached holding cells. He was annoyed when the lights went out, but not entirely surprised. This happened rather often, at least for the last few weeks. Sam? He asked himself. Maybe it was the Big Foot's name.

He went inside and saw Dean frantically trying to get himself out of the cage. He looked almost terrified. And he definitely didn't see him. I need to concentrate. Calm down. Too distracted. Focus. He breathed out like when he was hooked up to the lie detector. Dean's expression immediately changed. There was angry look on his face and it seemed he pointed the anger towards him. I guess he sees me then.

„Where is my brother?!" Dean barked. Yep, he definitely sees me. Dean was still staring at him with crazy homicidal look. Heh. Little bit like Freddy Krueger. After makeover.

„Did you check under the bed? You wouldn't believe what kind of things I found under mine! Last time it was Gus's collection of stitchwork magazines. It was really obscure. But then again, I have bed that can be called bed. What you have in there is more like bunk or cog.. no, that can't be right.. cob?..cod?.. or was it cot?.." Shawn noticed that Dean was giving him dumbfounded look. „What? Do I have something in my hair?"

„Just wondering if you were brain damaged when you were alive or if this is just some ghost thing." Dean said with the same arrogant smirk. But it looked like he calmed down a bit.

„Says Freddy."

„What?"

„You know, crazy ass dude killing in the dreams."

„You're calling me Freddy Krueger?!"

„You have the looks."

„What!" Dean didn't believe what he was hearing. He didn't just compared him to Freddy Krueger, did he? He certainly did not look like him! Wait a minute.. if I'm Freddy Krueger, then..

„Englund or Haley?" Dean asked.

„Dude, do you even have to ask?"

„Touché.. Wait, what am I doing?! I don't have time for this crap. Just.. do you know where my brother is or not?"

„Sorry, didn't see him."

Dean looked at him and knew he was telling the truth. He needed to calm down, if he wanted his help. But he will definitely not beg.

„Why are you even here?"

„Wanted to talk. You two don't think I'm not real. Unlike the rest of the station. Well, of course Buzz believes I'm real, but that's Buzz. You can't really count that."

„Of course I believe you're real. We came here to gank you. No offence."

„None taken. Many people want to kill me. I don't take it personally."

„One of them apparently succeeded."

„I'm not dead."

„Right." Dean took a deep breath. This was getting awkward. How could he still believe he's alive? And he's not even revenant. Just an ordinary ghost. Why did he deny it?

„Do you know who the other ghost is?"

„Other ghost?" Shawn asked, confused. He really didn't have any idea. So much for the help from him.

„Nevermind." Dean sighed. This is going to be a long day.. or night? He didn't even know if it was day or night. He had to get out of here, fast.

„Could you.. you know, get me out of here?" Dean asked.

„Now why would I possibly do that? You're a fraud." Ghost with moral code, just great. Not only he had to ask for his help, he had to convince him he's a good guy too? Why is he so much human? That question was attacking his mind. Because really, it was strange. He's been dead for years and yet now he looks at him and he seems to be totally uneffected by it. How could ghost remain that human for so long? Not even Bobby could do it. Well, he just had to deal with him like he was still alive.

„Listen pal, if you won't help me, I'll just break myself out, so why don't we save ourselves valuable time?"

„Do you have spoon?"

„What?" Dean was dumbfounded, again. It was like dealing with five year old child.

„If you do, you actually have a chance. It will probably take you couple of years, but I'll be right here, in front line, cheering. I just have to get my pom poms."

„Are you always like this?" Dean asked, but he already knew the answer. He probably denies he's dead because he's too idiotic and stubborn. And yet he needed his help. We're dead.


„..you're coming with me." Lassiter said and walked away, but Gus just stood there. He realized something. He did something. Something with dire consequences. Lassiter noticed that nobody is following him and stopped. He looked back at Gus and barked:

„Are you coming or not? We don't have all day."

„We have another problem."

Lassiter sighed. Of course we have. „Well spill it Guster, what is it?"

„I called his father."

„You did what?!"

Gus now cursed himself. How could he be so stupid to call Mr. Spencer without verifying Buzz's claims? When he'll come here, and he'll come, he will burn the station to the ground.

„I thought you found him. What was I supposed to do?" Gus said, but he was still feeling guilty. This was so his fault.

Lassiter took a deep breath. Then he caught a glimpse of McNab. „McNab!" he shouted and the young officer hurried to them.

„Yes, sir?"

„What about the fingerprints?" Lassiter inquired. He'd really like to know who these guys were.

„What fingerprints, sir?"

„Are you kidding me? What fingerprints. I'm talking about those two imposters!"

„We didn't.. get them." McNab said nervously.

„What?!"

„Well with all that commotion with Shawn.."

„You idiot! Do you have any idea.." Lassiter started, but when he saw look on Gus's face, he trailed off. Damn it. „You know what, just forget it. I'll take care of it myself. Go!" He didn't have to ask twice, McNab was already walking away as fast as he could. Lassiter took another deep breath. And then another. And another. He really tried hard to calm himself down. Eventually, he succeeded.

„We gonna deal with Henry Spencer when he comes. Now,.." He started, but was interrupted when suddenly all the lights went out. Another blackout. Great. He needed to find janitor and kick his ass. He can't be constantly interrupted by his incompetence.


„Are you always like this?" Dean asked and Shawn grinned. I love when they say it! It's like 'bigger on the inside' for the Doctor. Ultimate compliment.

„He is." Shawn grinned even more. Whoopi! He turned around to look at his friend, who apparently for a moment forgot that he didn't believe that this Shawn is real. But that didn't last long. He froze and blurted: „Oh my.. Shawn?!"

„Hi buddy." Shawn said, still grinning.

„Oh no, not again." Another familiar voice said. Lassie! It was amazing that they could see him. At last.

„Oh come on, Lassie. I know you missed me."

„Oh no no no no..." Gus began to back away, his voice trembling.

„Gus? You okay?" Shawn asked. What a dumb question, you idiot. Just look at him.

„I-I was right. H-he's back. He's back to haunt me. No no no.." Gus didn't pay attention to what Shawn said. He just stared at him and then he ran off.

„I'm not gonna haunt you!" Shawn yelled after him, but with no success. Gus didn't stop. He turned to Lassiter. „Lassie, go tell him I'm not gonna haunt him."

„Absolutely not. I will not listen to the hallucination."

„You arrested him." Shawn said and pointed at Dean. And Dean was loosing his patience. This bullshit was taking too long.

„Fricking christ! Just shut up, both of you! My brother – your suspect – is missing and you don't even notice because you're too busy fighting with a ghost!"

„He's not a ghost." „I'm not a ghost." Lassiter and Shawn said in unison. But then Lassiter's eyes fell on the empty holding cell.

„Yes, he is. But he's too stubborn and you're too stupid to accept that." Lassiter clenched his teeth, but decided to ignore what fake agent just said. He had bigger fish to fry right now.

„Where is he?" he asked Dean.

„That's what I'd like to know. Could you let me out, so I can find him?"

„No chance in hell." Lassiter said and hurriedly walked out of the room. Dean sighed. This was not his day.

„You said you're here because of what happened to Fabien Loco." Shawn said.

„Yeah."

„That wasn't a ghost."

Dean's eyes narrowed. „What do you mean? Did you see anyone?" Could it be human? It happened in the past.

„There's no such thing as ghosts."

„Right. Ghosts don't exist, says the ghost. Gotta love the irony."

Shawn was opening his mouth, but suddenly he disappeared. And it was not back-in-the-veil disappearance, it was forced. He saw it numerous times to recognize it. And the young black man holding an open salt cellar was eloquent in itself.

„You idiot!" Dean couldn't hold back and the black man – Gus, if he recalled right – jumped.

„W-what? H-h-he.. He.. He.." Gus stuttered.

„Yeah, yeah he's a ghost. Little advice, you genius. Don't piss of friendly ghosts, they could become much less friendly!" Dean actually didn't expect that that would happen with Shawn, but right now, he was pissed and he needed to take it out on someone.

„B-but h-he.."

„You know what? Stop talking, or you're gonna hurt yourself. The fact is, I need his help, you freaking moron! And now I have to wait until he gets back here."

Gus was quiet for a moment, apparently trying to get himself together. He took a few deep breaths and when he managed to calm himself down, he talked without stutter, at last.

„His help? But he's.. he's a.. ghost." he said like he was still trying convince himself.

„And anything new? We've been over this. For the last time, yes, he's dead, his ghost is here and I need his help!" Dean practically shouted. He really didn't have time for this.

„Feels so good to be that much needed." Shawn's voice said and a moment later he appeared again. Without a grin this time. He looked at Gus. „Dude, that was not cool!" he said accusingly. Gus's eyes widened. He realized that if this proved Shawn was a ghost, that also meant he was dead. Really dead.

„Oh my god, Shawn, oh my god, I am so sorry-"

„Come on, buddy. Even if I'm ghost, and I'm not convinced, it's no biggie. Doesn't mean I'm dead."

„Pretty sure it does, Shawn."

„Don't be silly. Of course it doesn't."

„Yes, it does."

„No, it doesn't."

„Yes, it does."

„No, it.."

„Stop it! Geez, I can't imagine why would anyone want to kill you."

„I'm hurt. Really, right here where my heart lies, I'm deeply hurt." Shawn said with hand on his lower back. He was grinning again. Because that felt right. That felt like before he.. before he what? Died? But he didn't die! He couldn't, right?

„That's your kidney." Gus said and he felt almost happy. He didn't realize until now how much he missed this. Yes, Shawn Spencer probably died, but his friend was still here, same as ever.

„Shut up, both of you!"

Dean had enough of it. There was vengeful spirit on the loose, his brother was god knows where and he was stucked with these idiots.

„Right, your brother. Maybe he had craving for smoothie or something and decided to get out of here to get it." Shawn said, smiling. But Dean was not amused. His brother was missing and the one who could help him was making jokes.

„He didn't break out of holding cell to get a smoothie."

„I would. He would. Any sane person would."

„You know that's right." Gus said. Both of them were now thinking about smoothies, when familiar voice yelled and startled them.

„SHAWN!"

„Oh dear.." Shawn said, flickered a little and disappeared.

„Shawn!" Gus shouted, but there was no response. „I don't care if you're dead, you will not leave me here with your father! Shawn!" Gus looked around, but Shawn didn't return back. Damn it.This will end up badly. Gus just knew that. He walked out of the room and when he saw Henry Spencer he thought – There will be blood.
