Loving all the reviews I have been getting. I am still having fun beating up our psychic so the whump is definitely not over.

Disclaimer: Own it? *sigh* I wish I did but I still don't

Note: We are starting the downhill ride so a lot of action is going to be happening.

Karen Vick sat at her desk staring at the report she was working on and she still hadn't gotten past the first paragraph. What a night. She pinched the bridge of her nose to try and fend off the headache that had been encroaching on her brain for the last twenty minutes when she was interrupted by a knock.

"Come in."

Her head detective walked through the door holding the nectar of the gods and a doughnut.

"I thought you could use this." He said as he handed it over to her. "I see your office was cleaned up."

Karen nodded and started looking through her desk for some aspirin and as reading her mind Carlton held a bottle out to her.

"Thank you." She quickly tapped out two and dry swallowed them before taking a bite of donut. "Hell of a night."

"Yeah I don't think I got any sleep last night either."

Karen looked up at her head detective and really "saw" him; his suit was rumpled, there were bags under his eyes, he hadn't shaved, and he was tapping his foot from nervous energy. She hadn't gotten any sleep the night before either, after the doctor told them the news she made a quick phone call to the station and went home. When she came through the door her wonderful husband was waiting up to be her shoulder to cry on when she was finished she lay down in bed with her daughter and watched her sleep till it was time to get to work.

"Got a report that you need to see Chief."

He laid the report down on her desk and she motioned for him to have a seat. When she read the report she got both mad and happy. Happy because they know who was driving the SUV and mad because the car had been abandoned and the perp could be anywhere.

"So Mallory Montgomery was the driver of the SUV and she is Chris Montgomery's wife?" more of a statement then a question.

"Yes Chief she was I put out an APB for her but she could be anywhere." The head detective sighed and ran his hand over his face to try and wake himself up some.

"Where's O'Hara, Detective?" She knew the answer she just want confirmation.

"At the hospital Chief I can call her in if you like."

"No,no that won't be necessary I will call her. If this Mallory Montgomery is as unstable as her report said we are going to need more than one uniform at Shawn Spencer's door. Thank you Detective."

Carlton grunted his agreement and went to the bullpen to organize the search for this Mallory Montgomery character.

Karen watched her Head Detective leave and make his determined way to the bullpen. I thought he hated Spencer. Hhmmm. She then set to work.

After the most horrific night of her life Juliet O'Hara was trying to get a few minutes of sleep when Henry Spencer walked into the waiting room. She almost jumped up when he approached her but he shook his head and motioned for her to sit back down.

"They are changing his bandages and checking the drain so they kicked me out." He went to the coffee pot and poured himself a cup full and offered Juliet a cup.

"No thank you that stuff is horrendous, besides I sent Gus out for some."

Henry nodded and took a seat next to her. He groaned as he sat his back protesting all the time spent in the awful plastic chairs.

"I hate this."

Henry looked over at Juliet in sympathy. "I know Juliet I hate it too."

"The Chief called and they have confirmed that Mallory Montgomery was the one to hurt Shawn but she abandoned the vehicle she could be anywhere. And we can't see Shawn but in fifteen minute increments and that is one visitor an hour! It's- it's just that I never in a million years thought I would be sitting here feeling like I am waiting for Shawn to die." Juliet's voice got quiet at the end of the sentence and she started to cry.

Henry immediately put down his coffee cup and pulled Juliet in for a hug and did something very unbecoming of Henry Spencer he let a few tears go himself.

"Oh God NO!" followed by the sound of coffee cups hitting the floor announced the arrival of Gus from his errand.

Juliet and Henry quickly broke the hug and looked up at Gus, who was currently trying to hyperventilate. Both people jumped up and quickly reassured Gus that everything was alright and then they sent him back out for more coffee since he dumped the first batch but mostly to give him something to do and keep his mind off things.

Henry and Juliet resumed their wait until Henry broke the silence.

"So how long have you been dating my son detective?"

Shawn looked at his watch and saw that it had taken them six hours to walk the five miles to Santa Barbara Trauma. How can we walk thirty miles in five minutes but it takes us six hours to walk five miles?

"Because Shawn we are travelling to points in time that you need to see not just places."

Doris looked at her charge and smiled. "Besides did you want to see what the doctors were doing to you last night?"

Shawn's eyes got as big as tea saucers. "Why? What did they do to me? Oh my God they shaved little Shawn didn't they?"

Try as she might Doris couldn't hold back the laughter she laughed until tears were running down her face.

"No Shawn *giggle* I can safely say they didn't shave little Shawn." *snort*

Shawn just looked at the woman who was laughing at him and he instantly felt bad. It was his fault this wonderfully vibrant, sarcastic woman with a weird sense of humor was dead. They had only been together for a short time and he felt a bond between them kin to what he has with Gus and that made him feel worse.

Doris looked at her charge and was getting worried she knew he was thinking something but for the first time since she was sent to him she couldn't hear his thoughts. Maybe I am not supposed to hear these, must be really personal.

"Come on Shawn let's get outta the cold. Maybe once we're in there we can direct the doctors to the shaving cream." They joined hands and made their way into the hospital the whole time both parties were giggling and talking about what was better at hair removal shaving or waxing.

"…..Montgomery. She is about five foot five with long blonde hair, blue-gray eyes and petite build. She is to be considered very dangerous. If you see…."

Mallory just laughed at the TV as black water swirled down the drain. She stepped out of the shower and wiped the fog off the mirror and took in her new appearance. She now sported short black hair and the color contacts turned her eyes a muddy brown. Just some shoe inserts and she would be at least two inches taller.

Perfect.

Juliet just gaped at older as if he grew a second head. "ba….ba….ba"

"Detective I may have had a long night but I am pretty sure you have yet to form a coherent thought."

"Since Canada."

"Figured as much well I am glad you two finally got together you are good for him."

With that Henry stood up and went to the nurse's station. Juliet noticed that Henry was animatedly talking to the nurses and pointed at her direction. She then saw the nurse nod and Henry smiled, turned around and made his way to Juliet's side.

Henry didn't look at her when he started to talk. "So when they are done with changing his bandages they are going to allow us to be in the room for as long as we like with the compliance that if anything happens we leave the room immediately. "

Juliet just looked at the elder Spencer gratitude just pouring off her body.

"And just so you know you are Shawn's fiancé and Gus is his adopted brother."

Juliet snorted at this statement but it got her thinking. Will Shawn live long enough to make me his fiancé?

PSYCH_PSYCH_PSYCH_PSYCH_PSYCH_PSYCH

Shawn almost fell down when he heard what his dad said to Juliet and in the same second his mouth split into a huge grin. Dad lied, like really LIED, just so they could be with me.

"Well this is where I am supposed to leave you Shawn." Shawn spun around to meet her gaze. "When you are ready meet me up at the Psych office."

"O—Ok."

With that Doris walked to the elevator, got on, and as the door closed she smiled at Shawn one more time.

Mallory Montgomery, now Sarah Hark, according to the ID badge she made whistled as she walked through the hall of the hospital looking for room 415 where a Mr. Shawn Spencer was in the ICU.

She patted the vial of clindamycin in her scrub pocket and smiled. Just a few more minutes Shawn and you will pay the price for putting my Chris in jail.

PSYCH_PSYCH_PSYCH_PSYCH_PSYCH_PSYCH

Juliet walked into Shawn's room and studied the man in the bed. The ventilation tube took up so much of his face, there were so many wires and tubing leading into him she was afraid that if she got to close she would pull something loose. He was so very pale except for the blush on his cheeks caused by his fever which was now steady at 103, half of his head was shaved where they had put the drain in and his leg was wrapped and surrounded by pillows. He almost looks like he is sleeping but he is never this still, not even in his sleep.

Juliet pulled a chair up next to the bed careful of all the wires and held his hand. Tears slipped out of her eyes as she sat and studied him remembering how he was just two days ago, so full of life and happy this was the Shawn she wanted back.

"Come on Shawn you have to fight, you have to BEAT THIS. You understand me Shawn Spencer you have to win this fight."

She just sat quietly after saying this and prayed for all she was worth. She didn't hear the knock at the door or Buzz McNab enter the room which is why she fell out of the chair when he cleared his throat.

"Oh my I am so sorry Detective O'Hara." He helped her back up into the chair. "I was wondering if you want something to eat. I know you hadn't eaten since before last night and we don't need you passing out on us. I can order something from the kitchen if you like.'

Juliet nodded "Yes thank you McNab but I don't want any of the god awful food they offer here I prefer something with taste."

McNab looked extremely unsure about what to do. "Ma'am?"

Juliet handed him a twenty. "Go to the nearest burger joint and get me something I will be here with Shawn. I have a gun. He will be Ok. Anything else McNab?"

"um…yes. Where is Mr. Spencer I heard he fought tooth and nail to get unlimited time with Shawn."

Juliet smiled at the thought. "He fell asleep while we were waiting for the go ahead and I didn't have the heart to wake him. He must have been pretty out of it too because he didn't even stir when I got up to come in here."

Buzz just nodded and may his way out the door. As he turned a corner he passed a dark haired nurse who was whistling and smiled. Buzz returned the smile. "Ma'am"

Mallory Montgomery passed a very tall uniformed officer and smiled.

"Ma'am" he smiled back.

She rounded the corner and noticed that there was no officer outside Shawn Spencer's door. This is going to be easier than I thought. She made her way into his room and noticed the blonde cop sitting next to his bed. The blonde stood up and looked at the nurse expectantly.

"Just going to add his antibiotic to his IV." She smiled and pulled out her syringe and the vial of the antibiotic.

The blonde detective just smiled back at her.

Perfect.

mwah-ha-ha! Ain't I just the worst. Loving all the reviews people. You all make me feel so loved.
