Credit to Chris Henze for the idea of the Gus nickname! :)
"Hey, Dad." Shawn said when he answered his phone, "What's up?...Well, I can't make it right now...No...Gus and I are on a case...Yes, a real one. In fact, we are on our way right now to ask someone a few questions. I'll come by later."
"Was that your Dad? What did he want?" Gus asked
"He wants me to come over to his house, and fix his fridge. Apparently he found it on it's side and he thinks I did it."
"What makes him think it was you? And did you break it?"
"He says there were pineapple chunks in the drain. And maybe..."
"I don't think he's that far off. So, are you gonna go by later?"
"Gus, If I broke his fridge, why would I go by later?"
"You never completely answered the question of if you did break it."
"Gus, just drive."
When they arrived at the coffeehouse, they found that they were closing.
"Hey! Do you know where I could find an employee who works here? Her name is Mia." Shawn asked the man who was locking up.
"Oh, I'm sorry you just missed her, she went to her car." The man pointed to a woman getting into a pink car.
Shawn and Gus ran over.
"Excuse me, are you Mia?"
"Yes, um, do I know you?"
"No, but you may have heard of us. My name is Shawn Spencer. Psychic Detective for the SBPD. This is my associate, Al Dente. Could we ask you a few questions about you and your boyfriend?"
"Um, sure." She got out of her car, they all went over to the seating outside of the coffeehouse, "Okay, go ahead. But there is not much to say about Evan."
"Why?" Gus asked, "He seems like a decent guy."
"Sure, most of the time. Let's just say he doesn't handle break ups very well."
"You broke up with him? He forgot to mention that little fact." Shawn said.
"Yes, I found out he was married."
"Wait, so Wanda found out Evan and Mia were together and kicked Evan out, then Mia found out Evan was married to Wanda and she breaks up with him?" Gus whispered to Shawn.
"Sounds about right, poor dude."
"So, is that all?" Mia asked.
"I guess so. I don't think you did it."
"Did what?"
"Killed Wanda and her sister."
"Oh, well, good thing you don't accuse me."
"Why?" Gus asked.
"Because I have an appointment tomorrow, I can't spend time in jail!" She then got up and went to her car.
"Now I know she definitely didn't do it."
"Shawn," Gus said while driving Shawn to Henry Spencer's house, "You didn't even ask Mia one question."
"I know, I went blank."
"Went blank? You never go blank."
"I know, all I could think about was the fact that McDonalds is going out of business."
"What? McDonalds is going out of business? Why didn't you tell me! We could have been in front of the nearest one with signs by now!"
"I didn't tell you because it's not true. Dude, you fall for everything I try on you."
"Oh, phew, good thing. I don't know what I would do without a Big Mac."
"Yes, you do, you'd start on Whoppers instead."
"Well...Hey, can we swing by-"
"Of course, Gus. You have a bottomless stomach that can only be filled with a Big Mac or two."
"You know that's right."
"Finally! Oh, you didn't have to bring lunch." Henry said as Shawn entered his house, "It's my weekend off and I come home to find this!"
"Look, Dad, I have better things to worry about, well, worse things. And besides, this food isn't for you." Shawn said as he put the bags on the table.
"It's for me." Gus said as he went for the food.
"Worse things than my fridge?" Henry asked
"Yes, worse. I still don't have a liable suspect."
"Well, you know what you do have?"
"What?"
"The arms to lift my fridge back up!"
Shawn sighed, "I didn't tip over your 1970's fridge."
"Oh, so who did? How did you manage to tip this over, anyway, Shawn?"
"Dad, for the last time. I didn't-" Shawn just had a memory.
"Gus! Drop the burger!" Shawn let the fridge drop back to the ground, "You said you knew how she was poisoned. Well, now that you are back on my side, tell me, how was she poisoned?"
"Motor oil."
"Motor oil?" Shawn asked
"Motor oil. Arsenic, cadmium and hydrocarbons are chemicals found in motor oil."
"Motor oil?" Shawn asked again.
"Yes! Motor oil! Can I continue eating, please?"
"Oh, yeah. Sorry, buddy." Shawn went back over to help Henry lift the fridge, "On three. One. Two. THREE!"
"Aww!" Henry pointed to all the food on the the door when he opened the fridge, "You're cleaning this up."
"Dad, I-"
Henry gave him a spray bottle and a towel and started out, "Happy cleaning."
"What are you looking at?" Shawn asked Gus.
"Nothing, I'm just sitting here enjoying this Big Mac."
"Could you at least come over here and help me clean this?"
"Wait, your actually going to clean it?"
"You're right. I don't have to. Thanks, buddy!" Shawn bolted for the door.
"That's not what I meant!" Gus yelled after him. But he couldn't be heard, Shawn was already out the door.
When Gus was finished eating, he went out to his car. Only to find Shawn there, waiting.
"Shawn? What are you doing?"
"You're my ride. I left my bike back at the office."
Gus laughed.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Nothing."
