Thank you so much to all those who review =)


Shawn didn't know what was happening, one minuet he was in the conference room, being told Abigail was gone, the next he was in the car racing to their apartment, then he was inside looking around.

The apartment was in a complete mess, almost every object was on the floor.

He couldn't feel anything, just numb. Juliet came over and place a hand on his shoulder giving it a squeeze, he couldn't react to that either.

Gus came running in panting, walking up to Shawn, he pulled him in for a hug, whispering that everything was going to be alright.

Shawn nodded, not wanting to talk to anyone at the moment.

"The camera lines had been cut before anything happened." said Carlton as he came over to them.

Suddenly anger grew in Shawn's chest,

"How the hell could some one have done that?! Shouldn't you have set it up so no-one could tamper with it? That was the only reason I agreed to let Abigail do this, And where the hell is that police officer that was supposed to be watching her? You couldn't even protect her, what kind of detective are you?"

He turned away and slumped into the chair, his anger disappearing as quick as it had begun and was replaced with defeat. Running his hand through his hair, he groaned.

The three of them shared a worrying glance, before Juliet and Carlton were called away. Gus stood back and watched his best friend, he had never felt more useless.

Shawn looked at the floor, his brain working over-time but at the same time, completely empty. Just then a piece of paper caught his eye.

A picture of Shawn and Abigail on their 'wedding' day was lying on the floor, like everything else. Except it was undamaged and there was a bit of paper inside the frame. Picking it up, he turned it slowly in his hands, dreading to think of what it may say.

With surprisingly steady hands he took the paper out and unfolded it. His heart sank and leapt at the same time.

Skimming through the note, he understood what he had to do.

"Shawn what is that?" asked Gus.

Shawn looked up at his best friend, and two choices ran through his mind, he could lie, but Gus could easily see through it, after years of friendship, Gus had learned to separate the truth from the lies.

"Can you get Lassie for me?" he said quietly, looking at the floor. Gus nodded and went to get him.

"Carlton, Shawn needs to see you, he found something." Carlton quickly followed Gus back to Shawn.

"Hey Spencer, what ha-" he stopped and looked around.

"Guster, where is Spencer?" Gus' heart began to pounded as he scanned the room.

"He's gone. Shawn's gone." although he said it barley more than a whispered the whole room fell silent.

****

Parking his motorcycle outside the alley, Shawn slowly made his way down.

He should have told Gus where he was going, no doubt Gus would be frantic and trying to figure out if he had left any clues, Lassie would be cursing his stupidity but worried all the same and Juliet….Shawn didn't want to think about her just now, in case……

Half way into the alley, he heard a soft shuffle to his right. He sent a silent prayer, as he continued to walk.

Even counting, Shawn still wasn't ready for the hit to the head and collapsed forward, a cloud a darkness trailing over his eyes.
