Author note:
Thanks to wait . .YOU, this chapter is a day early. I was going to upload this tomorrow after spell checking etc. But who cares about spell check? Hopefully this makes sense. Enjoy!
Entering the 'scene of the crime' was found to be pretty easy. Since it hadn't been declared a crime scene, there was no Guard guarding it and so Shawn and Gus were able to slip in undetected.
"Well he was certainly a fan of his food" Gus commented.
"Hmm…" Shawn replied scanning the room for abnormalities, it was then Shawn spotted the Chinese take outbox stuffed underneath the table.
Shawn grabbed it and shoved it under his best mate's nose.
"That smells sulphuric. I mean, it's very subtle, but I think it's there"
Shawn considered his options. He could assume it was the poison or he could get it tested for the department so it could be used as evidence before it became a crime scene. Shawn made his choice and revealed an evidence bag from his pocket.
"Dude? What are you doing. You can't tamper with a crime scene" Gus started panicking.
"Relax. It hasn't been declared a crime scene yet so technically, it is not illegal. Officers have already scanned this room, that's why they took the guard off the door."
Shawn sealed the bag and stuffed it back in his pocket. They shared a look before striding out the room at a fast pace.
Shawn and Gus made it back downstairs to catch the end of the broadcast being filmed.
"Can I do that again? I fumbled the 'safe and secure' part" Lassiter asked and the camera woman nodded with words of agreement.
Shawn just grinned as the two detectives interrupted each other. Juliet buzzing in some stuff about counselling.
Shawn noticed that not everything happened the way he had envisioned it. Lassiter stated to the press what the details were at that point but they were still going to continue the investigation to his death. Shawn sighed gratefully. This meant that he didn't have to make up some nonsense declaring it was murder and make a fool out of himself of live television. Juliet noticed him sighing and narrowed her eyes on him, Shawn just smiled back and her attention was resumed to the cameras until the camera woman thanked them, and the interview was over.
Shawn and Gus briefly congratulated them on the interview and began to make their way out of the building.
"So how are you going to get it analysed" Gus asked.
"I might have a connection" Shawn grinned before turning to him with a serious face. "Is my bike still at my Dad's place?"
"Yeah, you left it there the other day" Gus told him, getting in his car.
Shawn got in the other side and said "drop me off at his will you?"
Gus just nodded and set off driving.
Minutes later Gus pulled up outside Henry's house.
"I'll see you in the morning then Shawn."
"See you then buddy!" Shawn waved as the blueberry drove off into the distance like a cheesy movie.
Checking he still had the sample in his pocket, he approached his Dad's house.
"Dad!" Shawn called out.
"Shawn" Henry achnowledged. "What do you want?"
"Who said I wanted something?" Shawn asked pretending to look affronted.
"You always want something. I have a poker game in 45 minutes, you better make this quick" Henry began.
"You still talk to Jim Syklan?" Shawn asked, Henry nodded. "He still work at the regional crime lab out there?"
"I think so why?" Henry responded watching as Shawn reached into his pocket to produce the evidence.
"I need to know if it's poisoned. I think it is but I need the paperwork too so It can be used as evidence in a case"
Henry sighed, he did not have time for this.
"Look Shawn, give it to the police. I have a poker game to prepare for" Henry dismissed him and started to walk away.
"Dad!" Shawn complained weakly. "Please"
Henry sighed, "This is really important to you?"
Shawn bowed his head and nodded.
"You would do anything?" and Shawn nodded once again. Henry then grinned and gestured for him to follow. Henry walked straight through to the garage and instructed Shawn to grab a saw.
"Aww… seriously!" Shawn complained, "The dog house!"
"Shawn you have never completed anything in your life! Now you will. Finish the dog house, then I will get you your evidence"
Shawn frowned and gave a look of pure disbelief to his father. "Fine" he grumbled.
"Tools are in the cupboard. Home depo is open until 9" his father told him as he got in his truck and drove away.
"It's creepy he kept this" Shawn murmured to himself before picking up the saw with a look a look of suffering on his face, about to set to work.
When Henry returned it was dark and he was surprised to find Shawn still there, trying to fix the dog house. It was starting to look better. Shawn had stuck to the specifications that he had given him at least. Henry almost laughed to himself when he realised Shawn hadn't put a supporting beam in.
"Don't be too loud, he neighbours are going to sleep" Henry grumbled as he strode past Shawn into the house.
Annoyed that Henry hadn't said a word on the progress of the house Shawn stood up and looked over at his father and jerked his foot in annoyance. Unfortunately his foot came into contact with the dog house, and due to the bean he forgot to put in the dog house crumbled to the ground.
"GAH!" Shawn moaned and ignored his father, who upon hearing the noise poked his head round the corner in time to see the house crumble to the ground.
Dropping the saw on the ground in annoyance, Shawn made his way to his bike. Ignoring his bicycle helmet he started up the engine. It was very late in the night, almost pitch black and Shawn wanted to get home as quickly as possible.
Having a vision while driving was dangerous but usually Shawn could tell they were coming. Sensing that he was about to have a vision, Shawn quickly pulled over to the side of the road and steadied his bike. The vision was a short one involving Mr
Mr Prochazka, the father of Jiri, one of the contestants. His vision was full of a blinding white light and when it ended he sat there confused for a few moments. Just as Shawn started up his bike again he realised what was about to happen. A speeding white van was in his vision and he tried to swerve. However Shawn was blinded and took a hand of the bars to bloke the glaring headlights and the van crashed into him. Shawn was sent flying down the embankment hitting the ground with a thump and a sickening crack.
