Chapter 7
By the time they got to the scene Shawn had been able to pull himself out of shock without too much questioning from Gus. He had to keep his cool and proceed as usual or everyone would get suspicious. They were used to his random breakouts and eccentricity if started acting too serious like he'd used to be when he was one the team it would draw up too many unanswerable questions. When he got into the house that had been the scene of the second family killing Reid and Rossy were already there. "Agents," they turned as they heard Shawn call on them. Reid noticed that he looked confidant, not worried like he was before.
"Mr. Spencer," Rossy started but was cut off.
"Please call me Shawn."
"Alright Shawn, why don't you walk us thru the scene since you and Mr. Guster are more familiar with it?"
"That is an excellent idea." Shawn walked the agents thru the scene describing what was there when they had originally been called to the scene two weeks ago. The set up was similar. The mother in the kitchen, the father at the table and the children in other rooms. When they were finished Shawn led them back into the living room. "I got the same vibes off this scene as the other two. The multiple perps, the initial trust, that obviously was wrong. You know people tend to put too much trust in the wrong people."
"Shawn!" Gus warned
"What?" Shawn asked innocently. They stared at each other having a silent conversation until Shawn gave in. "Fine," he conceded. The agents, had they not known Shawn, would not have known what to make of this. However they knew him well enough to know that he had been wordlessly arguing with his partner about how thick he should lay on the 'psychic' act and the level of his jokes. Just then his phone went off. Shawn took out his phone and looked at the caller ID. He reluctantly answered, "Dad. Hi. Listen I'm on a case right now. No I never... I didn't say that... No I will not... The same case we've been on for the past three weeks... Yes she did... The BAU... No we will not... It's fine dad bye." Shawn ended the phone and returned his attention to the agents. "Sorry my that was my lovely father trying to convince to get off this case as he does every case."
"Why would he do that?" Reid inquired.
"Ya see he still thinks that I , and I quote, 'need to stop wasting my time and Gus's time, and get a real job'. Like I would want any job he deemed real. Probably some boring desk job. Who wants a job like that. As you've probably noticed by now I am not the type of person people would take seriously and such. Gus could you imagine me in a job where people needed to think I'm being serious all the time?"
"You act serious? You haven't taken a single day in your life seriously since I've known you."
"How long have you known him?" Rossy had known Shawn at work but he'd always been studious. He hadn't been humorless but he was never this much of a clown. He'd also been closed about himself and his past so no one on the team had known about his friends and life when he was a kid.
"Since before elementary school." Gus answered. "And he still procrastinating when it comes to growing up."
"Hey!" Shawn protested, "I've grown up plenty."
"Says the man who couldn't keep a steady job"
"I took all of those jobs purely for the experience. Once I'd had my fill I quit."
"More like got fired."
"Shut up man. We should meet everyone back at the station and we are stoping for wings and a smoothie."
"You know that's right" Shawn and Gus left the scene leaving Rossy slightly amused and a bit perplexed and Reid down right confused.
As Reid got into the car he spoke up, "If Shawn was like this as a kid like Mr. Guster says than why..."
"Did he act the way he acted when he was with us?" Rossy finished for him.
"Yeah."
" I don't know but maybe we can figure that out after the case."
