"Hi this is Shawn. I can't come to the phone right now, which is weird because my cell is always on me. So that mean's that I'm either asleep, in which case: why are you calling me? Or I'm in the shower, so you'd better leave a message so I can get back to you. Of course, me not being able to answer the phone could mean that I've lost it. In that case, you probably shouldn't waste your breath leaving a message, because I will not be able to get back to you. But it's your choice. Here comes the beep."

Beep.

"Shawn, it's Gus. I'm sorry I didn't try calling you yesterday. I guess that I was just angry about you hitting me. But I'm not now. Call me when you get this message."

— — —Day two — — —

"Shawn, I haven't seen you in two days. You're not still mad at me are you? Please call me when you get this message. We need to talk."

— — —Day three— — —

"Shawn, you're acting a little childishly don't you think? It's been three days and you haven't called me back. And I came by your house today. I know you heard me. Why didn't you come to the door? I was able to unlock it, but you had something pushed against it. Really, I know you don't want to see me, but we still need to talk."

— — —Day four— — —

"Hey Shawn, it's Juliet. I haven't seen you around for a couple of days. We haven't caught Jamison yet, but we are getting close. And if you could come down to the station, we could really use your help. Well, bye."

"Four days Shawn. Four days. This is getting really ridiculous."

— — —Day five— — —

"Shawn it's been five days. Have you even left the house? Look I don't know what you're going through, but we have to talk. You need to call me ASAP."

— — —Day six— — —

"Shawn, I'm going to call the police. I watched your house all day today and you didn't leave once. And I know that you are out of food. Unless you haven't been eating. Have you been eating Shawn? You really need to be taking care of yourself. If you don't call me I'm going to assume the worse."

"Shawn I'll call your dad. I swear I will."

— — —Day seven— — —

"Shawn, it's your father. Gus called me yesterday and told me that you haven't spoken to anyone in a week. You can't do that to your friends, it's not proper and it's not fair. Now I want you to call Gus up right now, or I'm coming down there."

— — —Day eight— — —

"Shawn it's been eight days. You can't shut me out like this. And I will call your dad back and tell him that you didn't call me. You can't avoid me forever.

— — —Day nine— — —

"Mr. Spencer, this is Chief Vick. I just wanted to call you, to tell you that we caught Jamison. He had actually been planning another murder tonight so it's a good thing that we caught him. So thank you for your help and whenever you can, just come down to the station to pick up your check. Goodbye."

"Shawn, did you hear? They caught the guy! Will you talk to me now?"

— — —Day ten— — —

"Shawn if you don't call me back today then I'm not speaking to you ever again! You're a terrible friend for doing this to me and I'm not going to take it anymore. You need to stop being such a baby."

"Shawn...please ignore that last message. I didn't mean it."

— — —Day eleven— — —

"Shawn, it's been eleven days. You don't have to call me, but can you at least text me so that I know you're alive?"

"Shawn, it's Juliet again. What's going on? I haven't seen seen you in almost two weeks and Gus seems really depressed. Did you two get into a fight? I don't know if you heard, but we caught Jamison . . . Shawn, what happened . . .? You know Lassiter, when we caught Jamison, I think he. . . I think you've finally convinced him. Isn't it great? You won't have to fight with him to take you seriously anymore. Please come back. I miss you. It's not the same when you're not here."

— — —Day twelve— — —

"Shawn, if you're not going to make an effort then I'm not going to call you again."

— — —Day thirteen— — —

— — —Day fourteen— — —

"Shawn I'm sorry. I'm so sorry that I didn't call you yesterday. I should have. I shouldn't have let pride stop me. Please Shawn, please forgive me and please, please, call me back. Please."

— — —Day fifteen— — —

"Shawn, I can't take this anymore. I haven't seen or heard from you in fifteen days. You have to be out of food by now. You could possibly be dead and I don't know. I'm coming over tomorrow and if I have to I'm going to chop your door down, or break you windows to get inside. I'm not going to let you get away with this any longer."

A/N: So, I thought that instead of saying 'time skip' that I would show you the passage of time in a little less conventional way. I hope you enjoyed that chapter and I'm sorry if the strangeness of it all confused you.
