Gone Body Fishin' pt. 2
"What's wrong?" Angel asked, sitting down next to Buffy in homeroom.
She sighed deeply, "Worried."
"About the case? Your father's on it."
"That's what I'm worried about." She spoke as the bell signaling the transition to first period rang out around the class.
"So, you're suggesting one of my men is a murderer?" Captain Jay, the owner of Jay's Ships, questioned doubtfully, his grey, bushy eyebrows raised.
"Exactly," Gus declared, crossing his arms.
"Right… What makes you believe that Captain Jack is a killer?" Captain Jay asked.
"This guy, right here, is psychic." Gus spoke above a whisper, like it was a humongous secret.
Captain Jay nodded genuinely, before the laughter within him boiled over.
"I'm psychic!" Shawn exclaimed, wiggling his fingers beside his temple.
"Oh God! You two are the best comedians I've heard in a while! Phew!"
"Hey!" Shawn exclaimed. His eyes zoomed in on a picture of a brunette girl sitting on the captain's desk. Shawn's eyes narrowed, "That's your 20 year old daughter. She has a kid, and is married… Is she not?"
Captain Jay looked taken aback for a few seconds, but being the skeptical he was, still didn't believe it. "Anyone coulda' figured that out."
"Alright, how 'bout we get a little more personal then, eh?" Shawn was ready to toast this guy. "Every night when you sleep, you dream of Meryl Streep. You love to watch Mama Mia every week. You have a stuffed dog, which you have named Frankie Snuggles."
The older man stared wide eyed and embarrassed, reaching over to the intercom-not taking his eyes off of Shawn-"Captain Jack, My office. Now."
Gus and Shawn smiled at the Captain.
"Ugh, math. Created to torture us kids and our virtues." Xander Harris exclaimed to his friends, opening his chocolate pudding.
"I like math." Willow Rosenberg smiled sheepishly.
Buffy looked more closely at Xander's shirt. "What's on your shirt?" She wrinkled her nose.
He looked down at it, frowning a bit. "A banana."
Willow looked, too. "Xander, that's not a banana."
"As long as we're on school grounds it is." He replied, shoving a full Twinkie in his mouth.
Angel frowned, "That doesn't look one bit like a banana, Xander."
"Eh, Snyder already thinks I'm special. Who's it gonna' hurt if he thinks I am just a little more."
"Ouch…" Buffy groaned, cradling her head. Angel began massaging it as she listened carefully to her vision.
"I could've gotten away with it!" She heard an old man bristle through his teeth.
"You're going to be locked up for some time, captain Jay." The officer responded, and she heard cuffs clinking shut.
"Yeah buddy! Wait 'til Meryl Streep finds out about you! You'd have absolutely no chance." Buffy heard her father cheering in the background like some child. It made her giggle through the head splitting head ache. He always did.
"Shut up, Spencer!" The supposed Captain Jay shouted to her father.
"You okay?" Angel asked, grabbing the Tylenol out of her neon pink backpack.
She sighed and nodded. "I've gotten used to it."
"So would do-did you see?" Xander asked from around his Twinkie, pieces flying everywhere.
"Ew!" Cordelia shouted as a piece of chewed up Twinkie flew onto her arm. She slapped her boyfriends arm in a chastising way.
"So?" Willow asked, snuggling into Oz's arms.
"It's not Captain Jack who killed those people. It's Captain Jay." Buffy concluded.
Angel's eyes widened."We have to tell your father."
"Let's go. Bye guys." And so, they ditched school.
"Haha! In yo' face Captain Jack!" Shawn taunted, as Captain Jack was placed behind bars.
"It wasn't me, you buffoon!" Captain Jack shouted, jumping at the bars.
Shawn jumped back in fear.
"You're embarrassing me." Gus whispered.
"I'm embarrassing you, you're embarrassing me!" Shawn explained.
"How am I embarrassing YOU?" Gus whisper shouted.
"The fact that you're not embarrassing me is embarrassing."
"Spencer!" One of the guards shouted, and Shawn turned around to hear what he had to say.
"Your daughter is here."
Shawn's eyes narrowed, "She's supposed to be in school."
Shawn began walking into the lobby, while Gus stayed behind to help question Captain Jack.
"Young lady, why aren't you in school?" Shawn looked at Angel, "Hi Angel."
"Hey." Angel responded, standing behind Buffy.
"Well, I was in school, but then I had a vision. Captain Jack isn't accountable for the murders. Captain Jay is." Buffy spoke in a rush.
"Oh crap."
"Hey boys! You got rid of the murderer on my crew! Thanks." Captain Jay exclaimed, smiling.
Just then, a crowd of cops came in, handcuffing the owner.
"We know you killed those people." Shawn spoke.
"I could've gotten away with it!" Captain Jay bristled through his teeth.
"You're going to be locked up for some time, captain Jay." The officer responded, cuffs clinking shut.
"Yeah buddy! Wait 'til Meryl Streep finds out about you! You'd have absolutely no chance." Shawn taunted like a small child.
"Shut up, Spencer!" Captain Jay shouted.
"Today was eventful." Buffy yawned wrapping her arms around Angel's shoulder to give him a good night kiss.
The small kiss, turned into a full on make out session, until Shawn came out.
"Alright, come on. Time to get inside. Night Angel." Shawn spoke, grabbing Buffy's hand.
"Night Angel, love you!" Buffy gave him one last peck on the lips, before continuing to follow her father in.
"Love you." Angel shouted back, walking away with a smile on his face.
