Author note: Hey guys! Surprised? I know it's only been one day but since it is the weekend i thought i would get it done for you! Any of you guys waiting on "Ghosts" ? Don't worry, i will eventually get round to finishing it! Here is the next chapter! Please read and review!
Gus dropped Shawn off at his dad's house and left to do his route. Shawn knew he would stumble about the whole Doctor Zavin issue after he realised that the last person he visits on his route is a Doctor Youngerman.
When Henry arrived back home, he had expected Shawn to have given up and was surprised to find Shawn kneeling on the ground with a leg braced up and trying to balance the roofing with his casted arm.
"I thought you would have given up" Henry remarked snidely. Shawn just gave his father the look. Henry then sighed, "What happened kid?"
"Absolutely NOTHING" Shawn replied in annoyance before hitting the hammer into the nail.
Henry regarded his son for a moment before commenting, "You might wanna pop a ridge beam in their first"
"Yeah, I know" Shawn told him.
Henry grabbed a spare piece of wood from the pile and knelt down beside him.
"What are you doing?" Shawn asked him.
"Helping" Henry answered.
"Helping?" Shawn repeated in disbelief. You have NEVER helped me in my life".
Henry looked ashamed briefly. Henry knew that what he had done in the previous years was wrong. He had insisted that his son was crazy to his face and make him take so many tests of many doctors.
"Well, first time for everything" he commented quietly.
Shawn regarded his father suspiciously for a moment before allowing him to help.

The dog house took a while to complete but when it was it was perfect. Henry invited Shawn inside and he reached inside the fridge and got himself a beer.
"Want one?" Henry offered holding a can out to Shawn.
"No, thanks" Shawn responded sensibly, "On medication"
Henry nodded understanding and took out a beer just for him and opened it over the sink.
"Not bad is it?" Henry told him, looking out of the window. Shawn followed his gaze to the dog house. An awkward silence ensued.
"Look, can I have the results?" Shawn asked. Henry looked at him before walking over the other side of the kitchen and producing an envelope from one of the shelves and handing it to Shaw who awkwardly tried to juggle it with his crutches.
"It's a derivative of methyl parathion. High grade stuff." Henry paused.
"Oh Good" Shawn sighed in relief getting his phone out to call Gus.
Henry looked at him strangely for a moment. "You better get to the station then"

Shawn and Gus entered the station together; Gus was holding the toxicology report as Shawn struggled on his crutches.
Juliet and Lassiter were talking by their desks when they noticed Shawn hobbling towards them. Shawn didn't want to answer of their questions about his injury so he greeted them with a small smile and a nod before heading into the Chief's office.
"What the hell happened?!" Juliet asked following Shawn into the Chief's office. Lassiter and Gus followed and so were now all standing before the Chief who looked up with surprise and examining Shawn's injuries.
"Someone tried to kill him last night" Gus told them. The Chief and the others became immediately concerned.
"Who was it?" Juliet asked,
"I don't know. SHAWN WOULDN'T TELL ME" he said accusingly at his best friend.
"The file Gus" Shawn interrupted. Gus snapped back to reality and Juliet and Lassiter looked at Shawn shocked. He wouldn't say who tried to kill him?
"Oh yeah" Gus said handing over the report.
"I had to check the Chinese" Shawn explained. "The food I mean"
"This says he was poisoned" the Chief realised shocked before turning her head to her two detectives and handing them the report.
"Any idea who did it?" the Chief asked.
"The father of Jiri Prochazka" Shawn explained.
The Chief bit her lip.
"We can't just go in and arrest him without any proof" the Chief mumbled to herself.
"How about attempted murder for starters" Shawn explained while gesturing to himself. The room fell silent.
"He was the one who tried to kill you?" Gus asked and Shawn nodded.
"I discovered something today. The Doctor Zavin on the inhaler of Jiri, doesn't exist."
"What do you mean?" Lassiter asked.
"The last Doctor on the list is Dr Youngerman. I know because he is the last one on my route"
"So the inhaler is fake?" the Chief confirmed with a small smile.
"Yeah" Gus agreed.
"We still don't have a motive" Juliet realised. "I get that he would try and kill you because you were on to him, but what does a fake inhaler have to do with it?"
Shawn smiled.
"Cheating. That's motive. Mr Cavanaugh was calling a press conference and was going to expose him for cheating."
"1953" Gus muttered. "He got the winning word in 1953"
Shawn looked at him in bewilderment. "Dude! I knew you watched but I didn't realise you watched it religiously!"
"1953, that was written in his books on his desk, we had no idea what it meant" Lassiter realised.
"And although there was no film, there was a tripod in the cupboard with a camera, perfect for spying" Juliet said excitingly.
"Mr Cavanaugh was known for fretting out rule breakers" Gus added.
"Well, that is good enough for me!" the Chief announced, "Let's get down there"

When they all arrived Jiri was up on stage
"Jiri Prochchaza, you have the next word. Matsoparietal"
Jiri stammers. He looked so nervous and was clutching his inhaler tightly in his right hand.
Shawn nudged the Chief ad nodded his head over to where Mr Prochazka was sitting with his head buried deeply in a dictionary. The Chief then pointed it out to Lasssiter and Juliet who saw what he was doing.
"So when do we get him?" Shawn asked,
"We wait until it's over, then we get the father" the Chief explained.
Shawn looked at her before tilting his head and having a vision.
Gus noticed and stood closely behind him in case he fell and Juliet, Lassiter and the Chief all noticed the lack of response and the all too familiar position.
When Shawn came too again he became aware of Ms Foote on stage,
"And this year's winner of the Central California Regionals is Jiri Prochchaz!" The judge comes on stage and gives Jiri a huge check, Jiri's father is invited up on stage and he comes up smiling and clasps hands on the cheque looking at his son proudly.
Shawn knew what he had to do suddenly let out a huge "WOOOO!" before hobbling up on stage.
"I know who killed Elvin Cavanaugh" he announced and the audience stopped applauding and stared at him, before whispers surrounded him. At this point the Chief, Lassiter and Juliet joined Shawn on stage and stood by the edge of stage.
"Jiri, spell Butyraceous"
"Look, why is this man speaking?" Mr Prochazka questioned the Judge.
"You can't" Shawn continued. "Not without help from your dad here. And that's not a real inhaler is it?"
Everyone watched Jiri stuff the inhaler into his pocket nervously.
"This is crazy" Mr Prochazka blurted.
"You knew that that cheating was his obsession and he was going to expose you for cheating. But you couldn't let that happen, could you? So you poisoned his food. He goes into shock, he takes a tumble, he falls over the railing! And you smirk" he finished with disgust.
"You thought I didn't notice. You think I wouldn't know who tried to run me off the road!" Shawn shouted at him and the Chief stepped forward.
"That inhaler is the proof, detectives" the Chief stated and Lassiter rushed forwards and grabbed the inhaler from inside Jiri's pocket.
Shawn took a few deep breathes.
"That inhaler sends electronic signals; the transmitter is in your jacket!"
Juliet rushed forwards and exposed the wiring of the inside of Mr Prochazka's jacket. He tried to push her away but the Chief crept up on him from behind, grabbed his arms and cuffed him right there. The judge grabbed the cheque back at this point and hugged it protectively.
The Chief then escorted Mr Prochazka out of the building. Lassiter forced Jiri to follow, uncuffed, Juliet was glad to know. Gus then got up on stage and grabbed the crutches of Shawn and allowed him to wrap his arm over Gus's shoulder. Then together they walked off the stage as a little girl on the front row started clapped in fascination.
