Chapter 7:

Gus stared at the building before him. He couldn't believe where they were. Shawn got off the bike and headed inside. Gus saw him talking to a tall, man in a suit. They exchanged some words and an envelope was exchanged. Shawn came out and got in the car. Gus looked at him.

"Did you just do what I think you did?"

"Yea." Shawn said quietly. He counted the money in the envelope.

"You just sold your motorcycle for ransom money?" Gus said.

"Yep."

"You loved that thing more then you loved life itself." Gus said. "I didn't think anything meant more to you."

"Jules means more. I love Jules more." Shawn said. "Let's go to the station." They drove in silence the rest of the way. Shawn stared out the window in a daze.

Gus was proud of Shawn. He was finally growing up. In his head, he was proud. In his heart, he was aching. His best friend was hurting in a way he had never seen before. Jules was his friend too, but she meant more to Shawn then any thing else. They were brothers in all ways but blood. He just wanted to reach out and hug Shawn but that was against their genetic code.

They pulled into the police station. Gus parked the car and they got out and headed in. Shawn stuffed the envelope with five thousand dollars in it in his back pocket. Shawn stopped just inside the door and leaned against the pillar.

"You ok?"

"Just trying to get myself back to normal." Shawn said.

"Shawn no one expects you to do this."

"Jules is."

"She told you not to come."

"She's scared." Shawn said. "Besides we've got a location."

"But you told the chief you didn't."

"I lied Gus. I wanted to wait for the right moment." Shawn said standing up. "Ready?"

"Yeah." Gus said. They walked into the chief's office.

"I've had a vision." Shawn said.
