Juliet was sitting at her computer when Lassiter called to her. "O'Hara, Guster just called in something about Shawn solving the Morin case. Said to come over right away to..." his voice trailed off, evidently looking for something. "Los Padres National Forest, or something.." Lassiter frowned.
They drove there quickly, and were beginning to move cautiously toward the spot where Shawn and Gus were supposed to be when they heard "When I met you, I divined that Lindsey did not die of a simple heart attack. She was murdered and you were the one who killed her." Clearly Shawn was confronting the killer, which was always risky, but Juliet couldn't help but smile at the dramatics. It was so Shawn.
As they walked closer towards the clearing, Juliet could see three men standing there. Shawn had a smile on his face, as always, and Gus was watching nearby, looking anxious and checking his watch. Juliet's eyes focused in on the third, unknown man, taking in his expression professionally, analyzing his darting eyes, seeing how he reached up to wipe sweat of his forehead.
Unfortunately, Shawn was not quite as observant, taking in the moment of yet a another victory. Juliet was about to call out and warn him, when, out of the corner of her eye, she saw a metallic flash. The killer had taken out a gun.
She joined Lassiter in shouting "SBPD!" and ran out into the clearing with him, but they were too late, and she heard a loud bang.
She whipped her head around to Shawn, to make sure that he was alright. Her heart jumped into her throat when she saw him collapsed on the ground, and she rushed over to him, already calling 911. As Juliet looked at his face, she could tell Shawn was trying to be brave, but the pain in his eyes betrayed him. Her heart ached at the sight, terror and concern clutching at her.
Juliet pressed her hand against the wound, the warm blood covering her fingers, and struggled to keep her emotions in check, frantically trying to stop the bleeding.
