Author note: Thanks for waiting so patiently. College has been hectic. I got reviews telling me not to skip any of the episodes and so to do this next episode. Woman seeking dead husband. Smokers okay, no pets. Also it took a while to actually decide what I was going to do with this episode, and I still haven't got the ending of it down yet but it's a work in progress.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Psych

It was early the next morning when Shawn awoke. Due to a constant buzzing of his mobile. Shawn groaned and rolled over, desperately wanting a few more minutes of his much needed sleep. His phone beeped again. Shawn rolled over and glanced at the screen, squinting at the brightness of the screen. It was the Chief, wanting him there at the station.

Shawn supposed that the Chief wanted to see him about another case and it was only when he got there he found he was severely misinformed.

Gus was waiting for him outside the Chief's office.

"Hey buddy!" Shawn greeted him. Gus was seated on the bench with two pineapple smoothies. Shawn immediately thanked him and grabbed his smoothie and began gargling it.

Gus knocked politely on her door and waited to be invited in.

"Enter!" her voice called.

The Chief was sat in her chair with several documents in front of her and on top laid the newspaper from yesterday night.

"So far, you two gentlemen have assisted in three cases for the department and have started to get interest from the public" the Chief started.

"I would like to know whether you two would consider becoming consultants"

Shawn and Gus looked at each other.

"You would obviously retain your private detective licence which you received when applying and starting up Psych. All this would mean is you can legally take the department's cases as well as private ones and use our resources…with my permission of course" she explained.

"Does this mean we get a badge?" Shawn asked in excitement.

The Chief shook her head and Gus and Shawn looked at each other with faces full of disappointment.

"You would get a laminate though" she said.

Instantly their faces brightened. "We accept" they grinned.

"Really?" the Chief spluttered shocked, thinking they would be harder to convince.

"Yeah, sure. I know it would be easier on the paperwork" Shawn told her.

Gus just smiled. "This doesn't count as a second job, does it?" he asked considering the fact that his company didn't allow their employees to be employed elsewhere.

"Of course not buddy. This is a part time thing. Just means if there is a particularly hard case or complicated the Chief can call us in" Shawn explained.

"Oh okay….Who is that?" Gus blushed, looking at the pretty blonde lady who was outside talking to one of the detectives.

"That's Raylene Wilcroft. Her husband's partners are getting out of jail. This is a routine warning that we issue when someone might be in danger" the Chief answered.

Gus was still staring at her, "Raylene…"

"Dude!" Shawn exclaimed, "Did you not hear the woman? She is married!"

The Chief watched amused as Gus blushed and attacked Shawn with his eyes. Shawn loved winding Gus up and he was very happy that the Chief had decided not to mention the fact that her husband had 'passed away' as otherwise Gus would have most surely flirted with her. However he was bound to find out sooner or later and the last thing Shawn wanted was for Gus to fall for her.

"Are you saying I'm in danger?" Raylene asked.

"You're husband's partners are being paroled today. We believe that the first thing they will do will be to find that lost money" Lassiter explained.

"Only my husband knew where it ended up!" Raylene argued back.

"I know that….but do they?" Lassiter responded quietly.

"Oh Gosh" Raylene uttered.

"Try not to worry Miss Wilcroft. We will personally be perusing your husband's partners and provide the best protection we can" Juliet told her, finally she was going to get to do some good old fashioned police work and spy on people using binoculars.

Everything here was different to back in Miami. Being an officer meant she didn't get any good cases and always acted as part of a team with shared recognition and credit. All Juliet wanted to do now was shine and ever since she was transferred, Shawn had been there who she thought could solve all of the cases immediately AND before they happened.

Later that day Shawn and Gus were at the Psych office watching TV when the door swung open and Raylene walked through. She peeked carefully through the window to see if they were here and sat herself down on the waiting chairs.

"Shawn did you just hear…?" Gus trailed off, thinking he was hearing things. Shawn stood up and peeked through the window. Gus followed before realizing who it was and baked away nervously.

"What is she doing here?" Gus asked.

"Ah, she's our first real client" Shawn told him, seemingly not bothered.

"Actual client? Hired for the job?" Gus repeated in shock. No one had yet actually walked willingly through those doors.

Shawn looked at him and nodded, "Go on man"

Gus immediately walked through and invited Raylene through to the sofa.

"Ms Wilcroft" Gus greeted, "What can we do for you?"

Raylene swiped her hair back with a hand and she stared at them both.

"I admit, after seeing you guys in the newspaper and seeing you at the station, I was intrigued and checked out your track record. It's amazing, really" she beamed.

Shawn and Gus smiled.

"It's a team effort" Gus told her. Raylene frowned slightly,

"Are you both psychic?" she quizzed in confusion.

"No, that would just be me" Shawn told her.

"Oh I see" she realised and so directed her next question at Shawn.

"I need you to get in contact with someone" she started. Gus grinned, thinking this would be easy.

"Well, tracking people down is our speciality" Gus boasted.

"This might be a bit more tricky" she twiddled her thumbs.

"He has ascended to the next dimension, yes? A man named David?" Shawn said, closing his eyes and raising his hand to his head from habit.

Raylene's eyes widened. "Yes!" she breathed, "That's amazing"

"I know you believe in my gift. You used to see a psychic every week, didn't you?" he asked solemnly and Gus frowned at the serious tone of his voice.

"Yes… that's amazing" she beamed at him.

"Then you know, I have all the facts already" Shawn said and narrowed his eyes further. "I am extremely gifted and I won't allow 'The Viper' to strike again"

Raylene was visibly shocked and her eyes went wide. Was it possible?

"I…What do you mean?" she stuttered as Gus nudged Shawn painfully in the side.

"What the hell are you doing?" Gus hissed. Shawn just shook him off and returned his attention to Raylene.

"You know what I mean" Shawn reaffirmed and Raylene looked at Shawn scared as Shawn came closer towards her and his eyes pierced hers.

"Don't try and find that money Raylene. You never will. Stay away or I will tell the police how your husband really died" Shawn warned her still staring in an intimidating way.

Raylene's mouth dropped open. He knew! How could he know? It was her own fault really. She was the one who convinced them all to rob the bank in the first place, she was the one to hack into the security and organise the crime. She was also the one that ran her husband off the road when fleeing from the scene of the crime. The police never had any evidence that it wasn't an accident as the rain washed everything away.

Raylene's lips closed tightly and she smiled tightly before almost running out of the office.

"What the hell Shawn!" Gus blurted, as soon as she was out of ear shot.

Shawn sighed, "Sorry buddy, needed to be done"

"Why aren't we accepting the case? You just rejected our first client!" Gus argued.

"Sorry buddy. But, she is a vicious woman and there is no way I am helping her." Shawn explained whilst Gus looked longingly at the door that Raylene had just ran out of.
