Been forever since I've update, so I apologize. Some news, the season 8 promo is on YouTube! I saw it and it's amazing! Ugh yay!

Juliet slammed the car door shut, not even waiting for Carlton to stop the car. She ran through the double doors and into the air conditioned room. "Shawn Spencer." She demanded at the front desk. The nurse typed on the computer and looked up a few seconds later.

"Second floor-!" Before she could finish Juliet had left and ran towards the stairs. She ran up the flight of stairs and into the long white hallway. Juliet ran down the hallway and stopped when she saw Henry and Gus. Both were covered in blood and mud.

"Henry?" Juliet walked over to her boyfriend's father. Henry shook his head and let out a deep sigh. "How's Shawn?" she asked sitting down in the chair next to him.

"Don't know." Henry whispered. Juliet took a deep breath and looked at Gus. His hands were in his lap and his head was down. "Gus?" she moved over sat and next to Gus. "Are you okay?"

Gus's shoulders squared as he sat up. "I'm fine Juliet, there was just so much blood."

"What happened?" Juliet asked. Gus took a deep breath before turning to her and beginning to speak.

Two Hours Earlier

"Shawn do you know what you're doing?" Gus asked as he and Shawn slowly edged forward. Shawn scoffed and dismissed Gus's question with the wave of his hand. They continued moving down the hall, their backs pressed tight against the surface. Shawn peeked around the corner before turning. "Shawn." Gus tried again but was shushed.

"Gus, buddy, I know what I'm doing." Shawn smiled and opened the metal door in front of him. They stepped outside and were blinded by the sunlight. A second later a booming voice caused both men to jump, "Shawn!" They both whipped to the side to see Henry climbing out of his truck.

"Dad!" Shawn hissed shifting the armor he had on. "What are you doing here?" Henry walked over to them and glanced at their uniforms.

"What are you wearing?"

"The standard," Gus said. "We're supposed to wear them to play paintball Mister Spencer, the camouflage helps-." Gus began to explain.

"I know how paintball works." Henry interrupted. "What I don't understand is why you two are playing it, when you have a case." Henry's arms went across his chest.

"For the last time dad, the suspect plays paintball. We're trying to get close to him." Shawn said.

"Whoa, what? You're playing a gun sport with a suspected murderer? Shawn just how stupid are you?" Henry demanded.

"Not that stupid. He hasn't figured it out yet. Now are you going to stand there and blow our cover, or are you going to join us or- please leave." Shawn lifted the paint gun and rested in on his shoulder. Henry cursed under his breath.

"I'm sure as hell not going to let you do something this stupid by yourself." Henry snatched the loose gun from Gus's hands. As Gus began to protest Henry frowned at him, "Who is the one who has a license to fire a real gun? Me, so shut it Guster. Let's go." Henry turned and opened the door leading back inside. Gus and Shawn's eyes met. Shawn rolled his before following his father back inside.

The three men continued their trek inside. The hallway was long and covered with many doors. The walls were metal, causing each footstep to echo. Henry took lead, Gus was in the middle and Shawn took up the rear. All were silent as they waited for any noise that could mean the enemy was close. Henry, who did not have all the information on the case, led the group into an open room and shut the door behind them. He leaned against the door and turned towards his son. "Explain."

Shawn sighed, "A guy was found murdered two days ago. He'd been shot multiple times in the chest. Lassie and Jules- who looked very beautiful today- think its Carlos Gomez. The victim's brother. I think that as well, but they can't do anything without any actual evidence to get a warrant." Shawn explained taking off his vest. "I heard that Carlos was going to be playing a game with his buddies, so I dragged Gus down here. Now you know." Shawn handed the black vest to his father.

"Shawn?"

"You need that more than I do Pop. You're front of line." Henry nodded and placed the gun down for a second to put on the vest. "Gus, give me yours."

"No." Gus shook his head.

"I'm the one with the gun." Shawn argued.

"I don't care." Gus scoffed. Henry shook his head and picked the gun back up.

"Does Juliet or Lassiter know you're here?" Henry asked.

"No, Jules would've said no." Shawn answered.

"Exactly, this is very stupid Shawn." Henry pointed his finger at his son, "You're lucky I'm here."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Perfect shot, I know. Can we go now?" Henry nodded and they all walked into the hall. Within the hour they had searched multiple rooms and found nothing. There was no sign that anyone was actually even playing besides themselves. "Let's spilt up." Shawn suggested when they came across a fork. Henry nodded and took Gus with him down the right side, Shawn went by himself down the left. Five minutes later of absolute silence, the lights went off. Bright red lights replaced the total darkness seconds later, and then there was a single gunshot.

Henry knew the difference between a paintball gunshot and a real gunshot. The paintball gun was much quieter. That bang was a loud pop, and it echoed across the walls. Henry and Gus ducked on instinct. A few seconds later another shot went off. "Gus are you okay?" Gus nodded. Henry a deep breath and turned around, "What about you Shawn-?" Henry then remembered his son had gone down the opposite path, the one where the sound seemed to have come from. "Shawn!" Henry shouted getting up and running the other way. Gus was right behind him. They both ran for minutes, keeping any eye out for Shawn.

"Look." Gus stopped and pointed at the ground. There was a small red puddle of blood.

"Shawn!" Henry yelled again. He just barely heard a moan coming from down the hall, wasting no time, Henry was running again. Not even ten seconds later did they find Shawn. He was lying on his back, a puddle of blood quickly getting bigger underneath him. Henry rushed over and bent next to him. "Son?" Shawn opened his eyes and let out another moan.

"Carlos…" he whispered. Henry nodded and looked around for something to stench the bleeding. Henry let out a curse when he found nothing. Thankfully, a door opened ten feet away and man in a red vest came hurtling out of it.

"Is everything okay?" In the dim light Henry was able to tell the man was an employee.

"My son was shot. Call 911 and give me your vest." The man handed Henry his vest and pulled out his phone. Henry applied the vest to Shawn's bleeding wounds. There were two shots in his chest.

"Jules…" Shawn's head rolled.

"It's going to be okay kid; you're going to be just fine." Henry said pressing harder.

"Tell her I love her." Shawn mumbled.

"Stop Shawn." Gus grasped Shawn's shaking hand. "You can tell her again and again yourself." Shawn gulped and nodded his head.

"Hurts daddy," he moaned. Henry gulped himself, Shawn hadn't called him daddy in years, he must've been in serious pain.

"I know kiddo, I know." Henry mumbled. They could do nothing more but wait until the paramedics came and helped Shawn.

Present

"I called you, and you know the rest." Gus finished. Juliet nodded as Carlton came running down the hall.

"Carlton-!"

"You listen to me O'Hara! I understand that Spencer is your boyfriend, but next time wait until the car has stopped moving, got it?" he hissed. Juliet nodded and looked at Henry.

"Does Maddie know?" Henry nodded. Juliet swallowed and looked up at Carlton. "Did you get Gomez?"

"We did, he confessed to everything." Carlton announced. Juliet smiled and let out a shaky laugh.

"Shawn Spencer?" A doctor came into the room. Everyone jumped up, and the doctor paused.

"I'm his father," Henry spoke. The doctor nodded and looked down at his clipboard.

"Your son is going to be just fine. He lost a lot of blood, but we had plenty of his type in the bank. He's resting comfortably now." The doctor said.

"So he just lost a lot of blood?" Gus asked.

"Yes. One of the bullets nicked an artery, we got that fixed. Are any of you a… Jules?" Juliet stepped forward.

"I am, why?" The doctor smiled.

"Mister Spencer has asked to see you." Juliet looked at Henry who gave a nod. Juliet then followed the doctor the hall and into a room. The doctor left her alone at the door. Juliet opened the door slowly and walked inside. Shawn was sitting up in the bed, his eyes glued to the ceiling. Machines that were hooked up to her boyfriend were letting out beeps. "Shawn?" She whispered. Shawn's head snapped towards her.

"Jules." She rushed over to him and hugged him. He wrapped his arms around her waist as she sat down on his lap.

"Don't do that again. What were you thinking?" His head was being held against her chest. Her breasts acting as a soft cushion.

"Well, I was thinking Gus and I were going to play some paintball. I didn't think he'd be carrying a real gun." Shawn confessed. Juliet kissed the top of his head before pulling away so she could look him in the eye.

"Playing paintball with a guy who was suspected of shooting someone? Really Shawn?" Shawn shrugged.

"I already got a lecture from my dad; I don't want one from you too." He rested his head against the pillow.

"I'm just glad you're okay." She stroked his cheek, "Why did you want to see me first?" her hand trailed down to rest gently against his chest.

"Because I love you." He said. She smiled and chuckled.

"I love you too you big idiot. How bad does it hurt?" she carefully buttoned the front of Shawn's paper gown.

"Not that bad, only when I take a deep breath." Juliet nodded and traced the white bandages on his chest. "How bad is it?"

"Luckily, not that bad. The doctor said the only real problem was the amount of blood loss." Juliet told him, closing the gown.

"I get to stay with you right?" Shawn asked and Juliet nodded with a smile. "Good, I don't want to be with my dad. I'd rather be with you." Juliet rolled her eyes and kissed his lips softly.

"We better let your dad in, before he throws a giant fit." Juliet said and Shawn nodded reluctantly. "One more kiss first." He whispered. Juliet laughed and kissed his lips again.

Took me forever to write :P
