Shawn gave an annoyed groan as he rubbed his eyes and blinked a couple times, trying to clear the sleep which threatened to take him by way of force. "Come on...!" He clicked on a link and another, a picture popped up and he closed his eyes as he let his head fall to his desk. On his screen was the same recurring picture that continued to pop up. A singular 'missing persons' photo, and that was all he could find on the girl since after she was fifteen. The only one of the girl as a vibrant twenty-six year old. In fact, the further he dug, the more nothing that came up.

He wasn't entirely interested in any of the other names, only the ones of those whose dead bodies hadn't been found, which were only two. Kagome Higurashi and Miyami Yowagawa, those were the only bodies yet to turn up out of the list of missing people, and of those two, only one was recent, Miyami Yowagawa, which meant one of two things. Kagome Higurashi was either involved in the kidnappings, or two...she was far smarter than the others who were kidnapped.

Still, he couldn't understand how a twenty-six year old could have absolutely no dirt on her. Even snow, when flipped over had dirt hidden on the other side, and not only was this girl clean...but she was quite nearly non-existent. Her background covered her school years, all the way up through college, and then nothing, she disappeared. No social media, no family left to talk to, hell...the only reason anyone knew she'd gone missing was because a close friend had reported her not making her flight. Otherwise, she was...cleaner than dirt...

"Cleaner than dirt...humph...I call Yahtzee."

"I think you mean 'BS'."

Shawn turned to see Gus standing behind him with two smoothies in hand. "No, I'm pretty sure I mean Yahtzee...although, I'm equally sure that UNO would have worked in this situation just as well, maybe even the declaration of 'You Sunk My Battleship!'." He rolled away from the desk he'd been "working at" for the last two hours. "Now don't be the annoying grain of coffee in my Latte, are those Pineapple smoothies? Are you holding out on me, Gus?"

Gus gave Shawn a look that said, 'don't start with me', before handing over the smoothie to his longtime friend. "I only stopped by because you mentioned being at work early, what has you so busy?" Gus asked as he eyed the laptop and opened file on the desk.

"Busy? Me Gus?" Shawn laughed, "I've been busy playing Solitaire...I have problems divining anything that isn't UNO, Poker or BS."

Gus raised a brow, "Hence your declaration of Yahtzee." He lifted a file off Shawn's desk as he sat down his smoothie, "and need I remind you Shawn, you aren't really psychic." He said as he sat down and started reading over the list of names, "Chief Vick assigned us a new case?"

Shawn, who was staring at a picture he'd printed out a while before Gus had walked in, turned his attention to the file Gus was reading. Everything but the names, were things he'd found online and printed out, so nothing remotely close to what the actual file looked like. "No. That case wasn't assigned to Psych. That...was assigned to Lassie."

"You stole it?!" Gus dropped the file like it had burnt him.

"Don't be silly Gus, Chief Vick assigned Lassie and me to that case."

"...Detective Lassiter and you?" Gus shook his head, "Ah uhn! I don't buy it..."

Shawn frowned, "If you recall...a couple weeks ago, there was a car accident-"

"I do recall, Shawn! That's why I don't believe you! Placing the two of you together...it's like pitting a loaded gun in Lassiter's hand and aiming it for him! All he has to do is pull the trigger, and we both already now he likes shooting things, and I've never known him to miss, Shawn!"

Shawn sighed and rolled his eyes, glancing to the clock, he frowned. 'It's already almost eight?' He glanced to Gus, "how's work going?"

"Well, I actually have a new route tha-ah! I'm late I have a new route that I'm learning today, and I have to be there by eight." Gus said all of this while grabbing his smoothie and running out the door.

"Bye Gus! I'll miss you!" He took another sip from his smoothie. Not even five minutes after Gus ran out, Carlton walked in. "Welcome, Lassie...I was wondering, how do you feel about the Hospital?"

"I just got here, now you want to pack up and leave?"

Shawn shrugged, "I thought you'd be happy to hear that I've been playing detective all morning. Actually, I was doing that last night, which is when I got ahold of this little numbers friend," he held a picture of Kagome up. "She...thank GOD, spoke fluent English. Her name is Ayumi Nagano...and she was the one responsible for reporting Kagome missing."

"Alright?" Carlton listened, trying to follow along with Shawn's investigating skills.

"Well, she was supposed to have gone to an interview at the Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital."

"I'm impressed...that's really good detective work, Spencer. Good job."

Shawn laughed, "there's more, Lassie. So, she never made it to the interview, but besides that, there isn't anything on this girl online. No Facebook, Myspace, Pinterest...nothing. Her background stops after college, and then she basically disappears off the face of the earth. Oddly enough, the little bit of information I did get, came from her friend, otherwise...even her medical information is non-existent. She has no family either. That was verified by Kagome's friend."

"Well done, let's keep this up and head to the Hospital now."

"Great idea, but Lassie?"

"What is it?"

"Can we stop by the Starbucks on the way, I see you don't have a coffee yet, and I myself am almost done with my Pineapple smoothie."

Carlton rolled his eyes and pulled his sunglasses on before walking out of Psych. Shawn called out to him, but he kept going, causing Shawn to chase after him.
