Here I am updating late yet again isn't that a phenomena! Enjoy give feedback and if any of you are still reading thanks! And don't worry the old Shawn will slowly come back and be awesome!
When Shawn stepped back into the station for the first time in months he was startled by how much he had actually missed being a faux psychic. He decided that he missed it even more when they rounded a corner and met Juliet. She of course looked very surprised and rushed forward wrapping her arms around Shawn.
"I came back" Shawn whispered in her ear.
"That's more like the Shawn I know" She whispered back. And for the first time in a while Shawn was extremely happy.
"Alright you two love birds break it up before I bring you in for PDA. Also might I remind you we have a case on our hands that is top priority."
Lassiters annoyed voice pulled both of them apart but neither of them quit smiling. Shawn breathed in and let out a contented sigh as he looked around the station once again. He couldn't remember what made him leave in the first place. Everything was in place like it should be except...Gus! Of course, Shawn had completely forgot about Gus. Never would he ever go into a case with out Gus to back him up. The last time he had done that things hadn't ended well. His reverie was interrupted by a foreign voice and he again paid attention to what was happening.
"I have the files you requested O'Hara" said a young and obviously incompetent officer. Shawn's face scrunched up in confusion that is until he looked at Lassiter and saw a face of contempt and despising. Then he connected stuff. Oh No. They had not split Lassiter and Jules up the greatest detective duo besides himself and Gus.
"Jules who is this?" Shawn asked wanting to confirm the situation. Jules did a small grimace as the man himself answered.
"I'm Albert Hugh, Juliet's partner" He reached out his hand to shake Shawn's a smile on his face. Shawn glanced at the hand and didn't return the gesture.
"Yeaahh" He said in disbelief "I'm going to talk to the chief" With that Shawn turned on heel and headed towards the Vick's office a little bit of his usual gait finally coming back. Lassiter for once smiled at Shawn's leaving without annoyance while the newbie looked on in confusion.
"Who was that?" he asked baffled
"That is the best gosh darn psychic detective you'll ever see" Juliet answered a little smile of pride on her face.
Shawn strolled right into Vick's office exuding his once missing confidence though not as much as usual. Chief Vick didn't look up at first but once she did her mouth dropped and her eyes widened in surpirse.
" Shawn?"
"Yes chief, the one and only"
She frowned in confusion and lifted an eyebrow
"I thought you weren't coming back" she said in a slightly questioning voice.
Shawn smiled sadly. "I didn't think I was at first but some people convinced me other wise"
The chief smiled in that way when she didn't understand Shawn but smiled none the less.
"Well I'm glad to see you back and I hope you're doing well with the gang case"
Shawn smiled the chief hadn't changed a bit. "I'll be right on it but I need two detectives to help me."
The chief looked up at Shawn again and smiled. "Don't worry they'll be working together"
Shawn beamed genuinely happy and then flounced out of the office. Karen smiled in content once her office door closed.
"It's good to have you back" she said before going back to her paperwork.
Gus was at the station in 10 minutes out of breath and freaked out. When he saw Shawn he stumbled up panting.
"I came as soon as I got the text, tell me where she is Shawn pregnant women tend to need support and guidance during birth I just hope the EMT's get here soon"
Shawn smiled smugly and laughed. Gus went wide eyed.
"Are you serious! You told me some lady was having birth saying that you needed my sympathetic crying!"
Shawn just smiled.
"I can't believe you did that! I nearly died in traffic on the way here! I was going five miles over the speed limit!"
Gus glared up at Shawn. "That was messed up Shawn you've been so un-Shawn lately to the point where I believed you! You can't just misuse my sympathetic crying like that, it is a part of myself that I feel very strongly about!"
Shawn smiled sheepishly and guilt washed over his features. It was strange making Gus quiet quickly and Juliet's brow to furrow in concern. They both knew that things weren't quite the same yet. Lassiter also noticed and cleared his throat loudly trying to bring everyone's attention away from the awkward moment.
"So are you ready to look over that file yet?"
Shawn smiled and nodded his head. They followed Lassiter over to his desk where he pulled out a file folder and handed it to Shawn. Shawn smiled mischievously and looked at Carlton.
"Yes Shawn for once you don't have to sneak a look into my stuff. But don't get used to it, now that you're back for good I expect you to find your own information for a file."
Despite his teasing tone Shawn looked at him in surprise because Lassiter had graciously given the assumption that Shawn was going to stay on after he wrapped up this case. His mind was tugged at by this sentiment and he couldn't help but feel incredibly happy. They wanted him here. In fact it seemed they needed him here. With this new burst of joy he grabbed the file and flipped it open his eyes speedily roving over the pages. When he flipped to the page detailing the murdered cop who had been undercover Shawn realized that he knew that cop. He had been a regular at the bar Shawn works at(or worked at Shawn was still trying to decide). Tyler Demmingham was his undercover name and according to his file his real name was Sean Wells. As Shawn surveyed the time of death he realized he had seen Tyler(technically Sean) several hours before he died. Then like a small lightbulb Shawn recalled when he had last seen him.
Tyler had come in more excited than usual and had ordered a lighter drink than usual he had been muttering things like "finally got them" and "almost done with this". Tyler had had an aura of complete exhilaration. Shawn had then seen him leave his barely touched glass when a man had walked through the door. Tyler had approached him and the two discussed something in conspiratorial whispers then leaving shortly after. The man he had been with was the same that had been involved in Shawn's stabbing. He was the one that had not stabbed him and was also the last person to be seen with Sean Wells.
Shawn's eyes widened in realization and shock. Finally he pulled out of it as he took notice of the curious faces looking at him in anticipation. He looked up at them with sparkling eyes of mischief.
"I think I have our main lead"
I am sooo sorry this came so late and I chalk it up to a busy summer being as in I visited family in Ireland for sadly only 10 days and then came back to face some very insufferable writer's block also a cousin came back with us and we barely saw her off yesterday so yes you guys have every right to be completely irritated and upset with me and I don't think sorry will fix it so I just decided to write more and hopefully (though probably impossibly) I will upload the next chapter soon. Also please forgive me for the bore these last couple of chapter have been the ones before this were kind of my filler chapters and this is my chapter that I intend to have proceed some actual plot and of course more injury for Shawn and such and such. Pardon the long authors note and with that adieu and enjoy(as much as you can)
