A/N
Hey it's me. I felt bad after leaving you with such a short chapter to go on... so here is the next installment. Enjoy!
Shawn was at the police station after having a major vision about the string of bank robberies. Lassiter had rushed to arrest the guy who did it and found himself extremely disappointed when he discovered he had already been arrested the night before for drunk driving.
"Grrr…. I want to cuff somebody" Lassiter grunted, Shawn only laughed before being silenced by a stern look from the detective.
"SHAWN!" a voice yelled, so loudly that it got the attention of the whole station. The figure came closer.
"George?" Shawn asked in disbelief.
"Long time no see!" George said before giving Shawn a big hug.
Shawn glanced around awkwardly, everyone was staring.
"What are you doing here? Don't tell me you've decided to become an honorary muggle like me, Mr Weasley!" he joked, his smile diminishing as he noticed his friends serious expression.
"What?" Shawn asked, dreading the answer.
"Someone is thing revenge against the DE"
"What!" Shawn gasped, "That's great"
"I know but that said person is using the unforgivable against them! Taking out anyone with a dark mark. They won't care that you are a spy, you should join me under the fidilius at the burrow. I have been under it four months and it sucks not being able to run the shop but…
"You closed the shop!" Shawn interrupted. "Where are people going to go for their maraudering mischief?"
George only smiled. "You're missing the point as always. Be worried Shawn. If I can find you, they can too"
"The de Mr Spencer? I think we need to talk" the Chief said sternly.
"George, now you got me into trouble!" Shawn moaned.
"You do that yourself" George quickly retorted. "Anyway I am off on my broomstick outta here!"
"Ohh! What model have you got?" Shawn inquired.
"The firebolt 2" George replied.
"That's original" Shawn scoffed.
"I know" replied George, "but it costs twice as much as the fire bolt. Needless to say business is booming! … was booming. You should think about what I said. See you soon?"
Shawn just nodded, astonished in the change in the young man. It was strange seeing only one of the twins as Fred used to be his best friend too. Shawn could tell that he was depressed, he could see it in his eyes. The death of his brother had hit him hard and yet somehow George had the courage to stay with his family whilst Shawn had run away from it all. If there was one thing Shawn was good at, it was running.
"What was that about Shawn?" Juliet questioned, Lassiter also raised an eyebrow.
"Spencer, my office NOW" growled the Chief.
Noticing her expression Shawn quickly skipped into her office, Lassiter and Juliet followed him in quickly, wanting to know what was going on.
"Shut the door detective" the Chief instructed. Lassiter closed the door and sat down next to Shawn. Juliet perched on the edge of the sofa.
"Mr Spencer…" the Chief began, "There have been a lot of murders these past couple of months that the police has always been unable to predict or prevent. Every victim has a black mark on their lower arm above their wrist with the letters de, there is never any evidence and the cause of death is unknown. In your conversation with your friend out there you admitted you knew of the de. How?"
Lassiter and Juliet looked at Shawn expectantly.
"How many people are we talking here?" Shawn asked.
Chief Vick frowned at his response as it didn't answer her question in the slightest.
"About 20 I think. Now can you please answer the question?"
"20!" Shawn exclaimed unable to hold in that grin that was appearing on his face. The shocked looks of his colleagues son bought the grin off his face, Shawn ran his hand through his hair.
"Shawn" Lassiter snapped.
"Sorry, umm what can I say? The full name of the de is death eaters. Anyone with the tattoo is a target as one of the good guys it seems is taking revenge and killing the bad guys off. Usually they would be captured and sent to Azkaban but I will admit killing them is a bit extreme but to be honest I am happy they are dead. They killed a lot of my school mates and almost killed me several times."
The chief frowned in confusion.
"Well, at least you are cooperating. Everyone else we brought in to interview were silent saying_"
"It's above my level of clearance to tell you" Shawn guessed.
The Chief blinked.
"My psychic senses tell me that everyone you brought in said it and unfortunately I have to say it too. I can't really say anything…. I am not meant to say anything"
"Are you being threatened Shawn?" Lassiter asked urgently.
"What!" Shawn's eyes widened," no of course not"
"Then why can't you tell us what we need to know" Juliet questioned.
Shawn paused and considered his answer. "Technically it is against the law for me to tell you".
"There isn't a law….is there?" Lassiter questioned.
"I wouldn't make this up Lassie. I swear nothing of what I just told you was a lie." Shawn pleaded giving him the puppy dog eyes which Lassiter almost instantly believed him.
"Well what can you do for us Mr Spencer?" The Chief asked impatiently.
"Not much" Shawn admitted. "I can say that this shouldn't be your problem to deal with. There is a special type of police force to deal with the people or person killing the de. I am guessing they slacking as the bad guys are actually being defeated one by one."
"It seems like a rather bizarre situation to be dealing with when my psychic consultant has the information I need but is bound by law not to tell me!"
"Sorry Chief" Shawn murmured guiltily.
"Can we not just gather officers and search for someone with a….dark mark, tell them they are in danger and force them into telling us?" Juliet asked.
Shawn looked at her sharply.
"No" Shawn said in a forceful tone before the Chief could reply.
"All of you," he said standing up and looking at all 3 people in turn,"…will stay away from anyone with a dark mark".
He uncovered his arm and displayed the dark mark trying to ignore the gasps in response.
"I don't want you guys to get hurt." He turned to the Chief, "You wondered how each of the death eaters died…. These guys don't use guns; they use something else more deadly. No one here would stand a chance"
Those were the last words those three heard before Shawn stormed out.
Lassiter was quick to try and follow him out but was told to sit by the Chief.
"Take a look at the files" the Chief instructed. Moments later Lassiter and Juliet were absorbed in the paperwork which left only the Chief silently thinking about what Shawn had told her.
After a few minutes of complete silence both detectives were full of questions.
"What are we going to do Chief?" Juliet questioned.
Lassiter raised his head and looked intently at the Chief searching for answers.
"What we can do. Detective O'Hara, check the records to find out where Shawn went to school. He mentioned that the de had killed a lot of his school mates. Detective Lassiter, go after Mr Spencer, hopefully he will open up to you if you are alone. I feel as we are missing something here. Something big. You need to discover what he is hiding. If you have no luck, see if you can find his friend George…. Weasley I think he said his name was."
Juliet and Lassiter nodded their heads and excited her office quickly, the Chief just put her head in her hands in frustration.

"Juliet" Shawn realised.
