Bringing the truth to light

Chapter 2: The Confrontation

….. (Washburn Middle School)

Three hours later a man by the name of Lewis Trump attempted to abduct Madeline Monroe. She was walking towards the school parking lot to her mother's waiting car when Lewis came up behind her and attempted to grab her. Carlton Lassiter tackled him to the ground. "You are under arrest for the attempted kidnapping of Madeline Monroe. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say or do can and will be held against you in the court of law. You have the right to speak to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you." Lassiter said as he cuffed Lewis Trump. Lassiter manhandled Lewis up and into his car and took Lewis down to the station.

….. (SBPD)

Feeling confused and annoyed, Lassiter walked up to his desk reflecting on the fact that Shawn Spencer, head psychic for the SBPD, was right yet again. After seeing Lassiter come in to the station and head for his desk, Shawn got up from his perch outside of chief Vick's office and made his way over to Lassiter and stopped him by Juliet's desk. Shawn could feel how annoyed Lassiter was that Shawn was right about Madeline and wanted to make it up to him. Shawn decided that it would be best if he let Lassiter take all of the credit for capturing Lewis Trump and Shawn also decided that he would not tell the chief about his vision that led Lassiter to the distinguished stalker and rapist.

"Aww, don't worry Lassie the chief doesn't know about my vision so you will get all the credit for taking down the perpetrator." Shawn informed Lassiter quietly, effectively disrupting the head detective's thoughts. Lassiter turned around and stared at Shawn in suspicious confusion.

"What do you mean by 'the chief doesn't know about your vision'?" Lassiter asked still suspicious.

"What I meant by that was I did not tell the chief about my vision. She assumed that I had passed out but she did not say it out loud." Shawn said to Lassiter.

"How would you know what she assumed happened if the chief did not say it out loud Spencer?" Lassiter asked Shawn in confusion.

"Lassie, are you really that dense? I can read minds too Lassie." Shawn said while rolling his eyes like it was obvious.

"Oh. Is that all you can do or is there more to your psychic powers?" Lassiter asked Shawn quietly.

"Uh, I can do more than read minds and have visions." Shawn responded awkwardly.

"Well, what can you do Spencer?" Lassiter asked Shawn as he lent against his partner O-Hara's desk.

"I can levitate items, people, and animals; Shape-shift, and lastly I can feel where someone is located but for that particular ability to work, I have to have a name and or description of said person." Shawn said. Shawn could feel Lassiter's astonishment and, surprisingly, his excitement.

"Spencer you should show me the levitation and shape-shifting." Lassiter ordered Shawn enthusiastically.

"Sure thing Lassie." Shawn responded. With a flick of his wrist Shawn's coffee, which was sitting on Lassiter's desk, started to float to Shawn's outstretched hand. Shawn then placed his coffee on Juliet's desk. Shawn hunched over like he was in pain and his body started to transform from a man into a grey and white wolf.

Juliet walked in just in time to see a grey and white wolf standing beside her desk and her partner. She let out a blood curdling scream and fled from the station as fast as her legs could carry her.
