Shawn began work the next week as a full-fledged Special Agent of the FBI. His Dad had taken him out shopping over the weekend and bought him three new suits and a bunch of ties. Shawn really thought about the whole special agent thing when he found out he had to wear a tie every day.
His Dad had to come over Monday morning to help Shawn into his work clothes. When Henry knocked on the door of Shawn's apartment Shawn was in his bare feet and was fiddling with Shirt trying to get it to tuck in right.
He was getting flustered but Henry looked at his boy and snickered. He thought, this 32 year old man didn't know how to tuck in his shirt and tie a tie, but that's all right, if he did know how to do that then he wouldn't need him here to help.
Henry shut the door and followed the exasperated Shawn back to his bedroom. Henry calmly and patiently helped Shawn through the ins and outs of dress clothing. He helped his son strap the holster across his shoulders and then helped him tie his tie. When Shawn slipped the Jacket on and fastened his FBI badge to his belt. Henry just about lost it.
Pride is not a strong enough word to encompass Henry's emotions at the moment. He was looking into the face of his son who all ready made him proud almost everyday but now everything that he ever wanted for his son was realized. He smiled at his boy and told him, "You are looking pretty sharp there kid!"
Shawn excitedly looked in the mirror and asked his Dad if he thought Juliet would think this new Shawn was sexy. He smiled and muttered something about all women think men with guns are sexy. He was looking at the man in the mirror on the outside but on the inside he was remembering the 8 year old that ran around the house in his fathers police hat dreaming of the day he would arrest the bad guy.
Henry smiled and snapped himself out of it and told his son to come on it would be horrible to be late on your very first day. Shawn smiled and followed his Dad into his truck.
Shawn entered the station dressed in his silk suit with an emerald green tie, gun peeking out from under his jacket as he walked. All the ladies (and even one guy) in the precinct whistled as he walked by causing him to blush.
Juliet saw her boyfriend coming and watched him walk over with an eyebrow raised. She looked him over and said, "Holy Shitzu you are smoking!" Shawn blushed and kissed his girlfriend.
Lassiter even made the comment, "Wow Spencer you really clean up!" Vick stormed out of her office when she saw Shawn. She said, "Welcome agent Spencer to your first day and you are about to get your first case. I need you three to head to the bank and meet the other officers there is a bank standoff"
With out hesitation the three jumped into Lassiter's car and raced to the scene. The bank that was being robbed was the same bank that Henry uses and always had, he knew it well.
When they arrived the hostage negotiator told them that all attempts at freeing the hostages have failed and they are ready to use force.
Shawn told the head negotiator that he was going to go look around and see he may have a vantage point where he could shoot the captor. The head negotiator snarled at the man in front of him and said, "Well who do you think you are mister if we could have fired a shot off we would have."
Shawn looked at the man and snarled right back, " I am Special Agent Shawn Spencer and I can get shots that others cant." He walked off to begin to investigate. The hostage negotiator looked at Lassiter with a quizzical look and Lassiter smiled and said, " You need to listen to him, it pains me to say this but he is a better shot than anyone I have ever seen."
Shawn searched the perimeter of he building there was a small window behind a pillar where he could get a clear view of the Bank Robber who was shielding himself with an old woman from the front of the building. He steadied himself on the pillar he had this weird one-eyed duck face expression but that was his concentration face. He patiently waited for just the right moment then pulled his trigger. The glass shattered and the Bank Robber fell to the ground.
Back at the front of the building the Hostage negotiator saw what had happened and said, "Well I'll be dammed, your boy did it! He took the robber down with one shot and didn't hurt anyone else. I owe him an apology I am officially impressed"
Lassiter rolled his eyes as Juliet's Chest swelled with pride for her boyfriend. Shawn came back around the building looking just as suave as he did that morning except for one part of his shirt had come untucked. He looked at Lassiter and Juliet and said, "You all ready to go? I think they can handle things from here." They both nodded and set back for the car.
Lassiter pulled Shawn off to the side before they got back to the car, Shawn thought he was going to congratulate him but instead he said, " To keep looking cool you are going to have to tuck your shirt back in." He patted him on the back and headed for the car. As they both got to the car Lassiter smiled and said, "Oh and good shooting Agent."
Shawn got into the back of the royal blue Crown Victoria and he smiled to himself. What a first day take out a bank robber and get a compliment from Lassie. He couldn't wipe the smile off his face all the way back to the station.
When he got back to the station everyone had heard of his accomplishments. He was greeted with a flurry of high fives and atta boys. He even got a congratulatory hug from his Dad.
Shawn sat at his desk preparing to do the paperwork that he had to do and for once in his life he didn't mind the paperwork. What he was doing now was right and he couldn't wait for the next case.
