Luke watched Tim and Ben set a patched up Jasper on the couch in the family room. Jasper was still unconscious as the two men left the room.
Luke looked over at James who wrapped a comforting arm around him and gave him a kiss on the top of the head.
"Where's Kurt?" Dennis asked.
"Where do you think?" James grunted darkly, "With Harry."
"Don't say that." Dennis wiped his eyes quickly.
Luke bit his lip and looked at his unconscious friend, "I guess it's just us four again." He sighed. Honestly, he had started to like Kurt a lot, he was one of them now.
Was.

Shawn had come to Lima with Gus who wanted to visit his brother, his brother's partner, and their loud daughter. He had overheard a woman trying to hire a P.I. at a gas station and decided to offer his services. She was pretty skeptical when he had placed a hand to his head and said that he sensed trouble. After dancing around and yelling stuff about kidnappings he introduced himself as psychic detective Shawn Spencer.
When he got to Hiram and Leroy's house he excitedly told Gus about it.
"No way Shawn." Gus protested, "This is my week off and I'm not wasting it on another case."
"Oh come on, Gus," Shawn jumped around excitedly, "the lady who hired us was loaded. We're getting ten grand, Gus, for a kidnapping case!" That seemed like a walk in the park for Shawn.
"Kidnapping?" Rachel had been walking through the living room when she overheard her uncle Gus and Gus' psychic friend talking, "Are you talking about Kurt?"
"You knew him?" Shawn asked.
Rachel gasped, "You are psychic!" Shawn and Gus exchanged amused looks. "Are you going to find him?"
"Well, yes." Shawn nodded, "Yes we are."
That was over a week ago and Shawn was still looking. He had figured out the pattern in the boys that were kidnapped and that the people who kidnapped them drove a white van.
"Gus," Shawn sighed as he sat in the Berry's living room, "please help, I need you buddy." he held out a fist to Gus who just stared straight ahead at the T.V.
"I'm trying to watch Law & Order." Gus shook his head, "Plus I already extended my stay here for this case, I've done enough."
"You're giving up?" Rachel asked wide-eyed, "B-but Kurt..." She chewed her bottom lip.
Gus tried to resist his neice's puppy dog eyes, but ended up giving in, "Okay, fine, but no silly names, Shawn."
A few hours later they stood at a gas station in front of the manager, "Hello, I am psychic detective Shawn Spencer and this is my partner, the Chocolate Power Ranger." Shawn ignored the glare he recieved from Gus and continued, "We need to see your security tapes from two weeks ago."
It took some convincing and a bribe, but they finally gained access to the tapes. They had already tried five other stores with no luck.
"I never noticed how many embarrassing things people do when they think no one is watching." The manager chuckled as he watched a man pick his nose.
"I've seen worse." Shawn replied.
"There." Gus pointed at a white van pulling in to the gas station parking lot.
A man got out of the van and went inside, coming out a few minutes later with a lime green blanket.
"Who kidnaps someone then buys a blanket?" Gus wondered aloud.
"Especially one that ugly." Shawn agreed.
The man got back into the van and drove away. Shawn memorized the plate numbers and the man's facial features.
"Now we just have to find the van." Shawn smiled. They had finally made a break in this case.

Tim wrapped the boy's body in the blanket that they had bought two weeks before. Ben stood behind him constantly wiping his eyes.
They lifted the covered body into the nearby van, Tim got into the driver's seat. Tim gave Ben a kiss good-bye before backing out of the garage and driving away.
Now Tim just needed to find a good place to hide the body.
