Gus started freaking out when he woke up to find that he was no longer tied to that hard chair. He looked around to examine his surroundings. It was dark, but not as dark as the other room he was in. He focused a while longer so that his eyes could adjust to the darkness. He looked down and noticed that he was not tied up. He was sitting on a very uncomfortable mattress. But it was a mattress, and not that horrible chair. He got up from the bed an immediately fell to the ground. He forgot that he had not stood up in so long.
A man walked in the door, "Ah, Mr. Guster, you are awake."
"What do you want, Julian." Gus said to the man who had entered the room.
"Well, you see. I felt bad that you were in that chair so long. So I made arrangements for you to stay here, instead." Julian replied.
"Why? I'm a hostage people don't treat hostages that way." Gus replied, much like Shawn would in this situation.
"You'd rather sit in the chair?"
"This is a nice room, who designed it?" Gus changed the subject.
"How am I supposed to know that? Now, about you being my hostage. I treat hostages that way. I'm not as evil as you may think I am."
"But your evil enough to kidnap me? And do who knows what else you did to Shawn!" Gus was horrified when he thought about it. He hadn't really had the time to think. He kept his mind on why this man was doing this stuff.
"Shut up, Guster." Julian replied, "Okay, you got me. I am as evil as you may think. Maybe even more."
This statement made Gus shiver, "What do you mean?"
"You know Shawn, correct?" Julian asked.
"Who's Shawn?" Gus asked. Hoping this lie save his life and Shawn's.
"Oh, I know you know him. I called him." Julian replied.
"You called Shawn? Why?"
"Let me get to the point, you know him, he's your best friend. Well something happened."
Gus up from the floor to be eye level with Julian, "What did you do to Shawn!"
"Oh, nothing. Yet. His time will come when he will join you."

It was 4 in the afternoon when when Shawn received the call. He had all his casts removed and he was packing his things so he could go back to his apartment. He glanced at the number. Gus, again. Had it already been 2 weeks? He called for Jules before he answered it. When she ran in and then he clicked answer.
"Ah, Mr. Spencer, feeling well?" Julian said.
"Where's Gus?" Shawn asked and put it on speaker.
"Oh, he's fine. But, don't worry, you'll see him very soon."
"What?" Shawn whispered to Jules.
She shrugged.
Julian continued, "As for the place you should meet me. I'll be in the alley on State Street. 10 O'clock. Don't be late. And if I see any backup, your friend dies."
"Do I need to bring anything?" Shawn gulped.
"Just your brain." Julian replied before hanging up.
"What the heck?" Shawn asked.
"I don't know, Shawn. You probably know something he needs."
"No, not that. There's an alley on State Street?"
"Yeah, of course there is."
"Jules I'm scared." Shawn admitted. He wasn't lying. He meant it.
"Don't worry, Shawn. We may not be able to have backup, but what about a bug?"
"I like the way you think." He said as he pulled her into a hug, "I love you."
"I love you, too." She said as she planted a kiss on his cheek, "Gus will be okay, this will all be over soon."
Shawn felt a little relieved, "Okay." He said smiling as he went in for another kiss.

I can't believe I got this up in time. :) Oh, and...Dun Dun Dun...
