Author's Note: This is DDAN Chapter 6! Yay! I didn't have any ideas for this chapter, but after my friend's birthday/Halloween party I have some ideas! Which was awesome! So this is dedicated to that friend and all who haven't given up on me yet! Disclaimer: Don't own Psych.
DDAN Chapter 6
Beyond a patch of green tree branches was the crime scene. Lassiter, Juliet, Whitney, and Carter barely made it through the branches when they saw the scene. Shawn was already there looking over the dead body, McNab was taking photos of the woman, and the husband of Danielle Summers was pacing frantically back and forth.
"McNab! What happened here?" Carlton snapped, putting on his latex gloves.
"The body is identified as Danielle Summers, age 22. She has a husband, John Summers who is here now." McNab said, pointing to the pacing young man.
"O'Hara and Hall, go talk to Mr. Summers. We're going to need a statement." Carlton ordered. "Smith, bag and tag with McNab."
Juliet and Carter walked towards John. "Mr. Summers, can we ask you a few questions?"
John stopped pacing and looked at the detectives with fear. "Wha..What type of questions?"
"Just some basic information on Danielle. Where did she work? Did she have any enemies? Things like that."
He nodded. "Danielle worked at a restaurant. I don't remember the name of it, but she liked working there. She doesn't have any people who would want to.. do this to her. Never... She was such a nice person to everybody. I don't why anybody would want to do this."
"Thank you Mr. Summers. Here's my card in case you need anything or have any questions. We'll keep you updated." Juliet said, walking back to Lassiter with Carter beside her.
"Danielle worked at a restaurant and doesn't have any enemies. Looks like we'll have to start from scratch."
"I found something!" Whitney exclaimed, jumping over to the three detectives.
"What is it?"
"A napkin with a restaurants name on it and some sort of pen markings. We can't quite figure out the restaurant name since most of it is blurry because of the pen smears. But the pen has given us a date and a time for something that sounds very important."
"Wait!" A voice rang out.
They all turned to see Shawn in one of his psychic moments.
"I just had a vision!"
Carlton scoffed. "Psychic my gun! Don't listen to his 'predictions'. Their silly."
"Don't be such a negative Nelly, Lassie! Shawn's right most of the time...or so I heard from Juliet." Whitney shot back.
Carlton just rolled his eyes and tuned back into Shawn's prediction.
"Danielle Summers is a waitress and some beach area restaurant. The spirits won't let me see what place it is, but we're close to it. There's something written under one of the tables. A note. Quick! We need to get to the autopsy lab!"
Shawn grabbed Carter by the hand and dragged her to where the Echo and Gus were at. Whitney and the others quickly followed in Lassiter's car.
A little later at the autopsy lab...
"So Woody!Whatcha got for us?" Shawn inquired.
"Well Shawn, Gus, and Detectives, our young vic here had severe puncture wounds to the back of her neck, like someone had snuck up from behind and used a small but powerful knife. Then she was dumped in the lake at the park. All within an hour. This is a pros work no doubt..."
Carter and Whitney at that point looked at each other weird and started to walk out of the room.
"Where are you guys going? Don't you want to hear the rest?"
"Oh...We just remembered that we have to call our boss and let him in on how we're doing." Whitney lied.
"Yeah it has to be done now!" Carter exclaimed, looking at her cellphone clock. "We'll be back in a few. Let us know the rest."
The two walked out of the autopsy and into a secluded area outside the department.
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking Carter?"
"Maybe Whitney...Although I'm not quite sure. Most killers aren't pro. We have to call Fang and see if any of this is his doing."
"You're right. Let's go back to the hotel and see what we can squeeze out of him."
Moments later
Whitney stormed in keen on finding the phone. Carter closed the door and locked it. Whitney was still searching for the phone.
"Whitney."
Whitney turned around to face her. "What?"
Carter held up the black slick phone. "Looking for this?"
Whitney sweat-dropped and took the phone. She dialed the number that they both knew by heart and waited for Fang to answer.
"Hello? Lily here. What can I do for you?"
"Lily, it's Whitney and Carter. We would like to speak with Mr. Fang. It's urgent.
"Oh..Miss Smith and Miss Hall. I'm so sorry to inform you that Mr. Fang is out of the office today and won't be taking any calls or messages. Good-bye."
"How'd it go?" Carter asked.
"Fang's not in. Lily's being Lily again and is not taking any messages. Do you have his home phone by any chance?"
"Hmm... I might. Let me check."
Carter rummaged through a bag and found a piece of paper. "Here it is!"
Whitney grinned. "Awesome! Give me it!"
Carter handed Whitney the paper and Whitney dialed once more.
"Hello? This better be important."
"Fang! It's Whitney and Carter."
"How did you girls get this number?"
"We're us Fang!"
"True. Anyway, what can I do for you ladies?"
"There was a murder. The autopsy said that it was a pro job. Can you tell us anything?"
"I haven't sent anybody to Santa Barbra but you two, so it's not on my orders. I'll let you know anything I find. What's the vic's name?"
"Danielle Summers. She's a waitress. We don't know the restaurant she works at though, so let us know what you get."
"Will do. I'll keep you posted." Fang hung up.
"So we have a little bit of a lead anyway." Carter said.
'Ring...Ring...Ring...'
Carter reached for her phone. "Hello? Detective Hall speaking."
"Carter, we got some information on Danielle. She worked at the food joint that we went to for lunch. Meet Lassie and us there." Shawn said.
Carter shut her phone and looked back to Whitney.
"She's a waitress at that diner we went to for lunch. Let's go."
The Giant Cookie Diner...
Juliet, Lassiter, Shawn, and Gus were standing outside the diner and they were talking to the manager.
"Sorry we're late. What's going on?"
"This is Cassidy Jones and she's the manager. According to her, every worker here has a locker in the back of the diner. We're going to check it out."
The six of them followed Cassidy into the building. When they entered, the place was all decked out in Halloween stuff. Black and orange colors are everywhere and the pumpkins and skulls are sitting on the tables and on the hanging from the ceiling. Bowels of candy were sitting on top of the counter.
"This is every kids dream!" Whitney exclaimed, hyped up from the decorations.
Carter chuckled and stepped through the locker room door. There was a locker on the far end of the room that had a picture of Danielle on it.
"Let's pry this thing open and see what's in it."
They opened the door and they all gasped.
Author's Note: Yeahh... Cliff hanger! R&R please! Don't eat too much candy today!
