Chapter 4
The next day, Shawn and Gus walked into the SBPD and walked to Lassiter
"So Lassie, did you find out anything?" Shawn asked
"Spencer, why would I tell you?" Lassiter snapped
"Chief!" Shawn called out in a tattle-tale tone and Lassiter smirked
"She isn't here" Lassiter said and Shawn held up his phone
"I have her on speed dial" Shawn said with a grin, "And so does Gus on both his cell phones" he finished making Lassiter growl deeply
"If you must know, Detective O'Hara is questioning the victim's wife. You stay away from her; she is OUR suspect, is that clear?" Lassiter ordered holding the file to his side where a picture of the victim's wife stuck out so much that Shawn could see it. Shawn smirked at Lassiter
"Crystal" Shawn said as he and Gus turned around to see Buzz holding a chocolate cake and walked over to him
"Hey Buzz, what's with the cake?" Shawn asked
"Hey guys, this cake is for the new cop's birthday today" Buzz said and began walking away and Shawn and Gus walked next to him
"Would there be any left for, say, a certain psychic and his partner?" Shawn asked and Buzz smiled
"Sure"
"Sweet! We love cake" Shawn said and Gus fist pounded Shawn's
"You know that's right" Gus said and Buzz was about to say something when he tripped over a pen. The cake flew out of Buzz's hands and right at the same time the chief walked in and the cake landed all over her. Buzz and Gus put an hand to their mouths as Shawn had his jaw dropped in shock
"Officer McNabb!" the Chief yelled and Shawn smiled nervously trying his hardest not to laugh
"You know what, forget about the cake" Shawn said and Gus nodded; both starting to walk to the exit. Shawn saw the victim's wife exited the building and was about to follow her when Juliet stopped him
"What happened to the chief?" Juliet asked as she didn't see what happened since she was in the interrogation room
"Buzz accidentally caked her" Shawn said, "We'll see you later Jules, we're somewhat busy" Shawn said and left with Gus. Shawn looked around and spotted John Kito's wife about to enter her car
"Ms. Kito, wait!" Shawn said getting her attention and they ran to her
"I already was interrogated by the two detectives, before the female, Detective O'Hara made the other one leave for complaining about my innocence and a psychic would ruin his lead or something" she said and Gus and Shawn gave each other a look and sighed
"Lassie" Gus and Shawn said at the same time and Shawn stuck his hand out to the victim's wife
"Hi, I'm Shawn Spencer, the Psychic the detective with a stick up his butt talked about. I work for the SBPD and this is my partner, Buzz McNabb" Shawn said and as she shook hands with Shawn, Gus glared at him. Gus and the victim's wife shook hands
"I'm Burton Guster, most people call me Gus" Gus said and turned to Shawn, "Out of all the crazy names you could've give me, that is one that I'm not going to take"
"Aww why not?" Shawn asked whiny and Gus glared at him
"I'm not going to take the name of a person in so much trouble with the Chief for caking her" Gus said and Shawn grinned
"Oh right, can we go back in? I want to see if he got into trouble" Shawn said pointing back at the department and Gus rolled his eyes
"Shawn, Ms. Kito, remember?" Gus asked and Shawn looked to her and rubbed his head
"Oh right, would you mind if we ask you a few questions?" Shawn asked and the wife looked to him like he's crazy but sighed
"I didn't kill my husband" she said, "That 'Detective with a stick up his but', as you put it, thinks I did but I swear I didn't"
"Well you're out here and not in there, meaning they lack in something we like to call 'evidence'" Shawn said putting air-quotes around evidence
"And we're nothing like Lassie. We're so laid back and cooler than he is" Gus said and Shawn smirked
"Plus we believe you didn't kill him, the spirits are telling me that much. We just needed some information to bring down the person who killed him" Shawn said and Gus nodded and she agreed
"Let's go back to the Psych Office" Shawn said and she got into her car, as the private detectives got into theirs.
At the Psych office
"So did your husband know anyone that had a grudge against him?" Gus asked as Shawn took the smoothie he didn't finish and started drinking it again.
"Uhm… well no he didn't, he was well liked by everyone… well there was a story he told me, but I don't quite remember it" she said and Gus smiled
"It's ok, here call us when you remember anything" Gus said and Shawn nodded giving her their business card. Little to their knowledge, a certain person was staring at them angrily outside and quickly left as Ms. Kito was about to leave out the door
