Chapter 3-A zippa dee do da a day keeps the doctor away
"How does a young woman in her 20's die in police custody?" asked Lassiter surprised.
"I don't know but I want all of you to find out now!" ordered Vick
Suddenly, Shawn put his fingers to his head "Wait, I'm getting something… medication… Ambien…Bayer… Lipitor…Zantac,…Zolof…Gus, stop singing it's very lovely but you're interrupting what the spirits are trying to tell me." said Shawn looking at Gus
"I'm not singing." said Gus
"You're not? Jules?" asked Shawn turning to Juliet
"Not me."
"Lassie?" asked Shawn turning to Lassiter
"Are you serious? Why would I be singing right now?" demanded Lassiter "Why would any of us be singing this is not a musical, Spencer?"
"Well tell that to the person singing… who is that? Chief Vick?" asked Shawn turning to the Chief
"No, Mr. Spencer." said Vick "No one is singing."
"Someone in this room is" said Shawn following the sound that no one can hear and suddenly kneels down towards the dead body." O, it's you, you have a very lovely voice, it's like an angel really but I can't figure out how you died if you keep… You want me to sing with you? If I do will you let me concentrate so I can figure out who your killer is and possibly how this connects with your brother and sister in law? Ok… Zippa de do da! Zippa de ey my O, my what a wonderful day plenty of sunshine heading my way zippa de too da… zippa de ey… mr. blue birds on my shoulder… it's the truth… it's actual everything is satis factorial zippa de do da zippa de ey wonderful feeling… wonderful day. Your welcome now I need to figure out… what? What do you mean that's what killed you? Were you killed by black people who thought you were racist I don't… zippa de do da medication? I'm sorry I really don't understand. Gus, help me out here. Sarah must have hit her head when she died she's not making any sense. Maybe you can understand her."
"Shawn the woman is dead and I'm not psychic . How am I supposed to understand her?" asked Gus
"Just give me your head so I 'll know what I know and you can translate." Shawn assured
Gus goes over and leans down to Shawn who touches his head and Shawn winks. "O MY GOD!" yells Gus in shock
"What… what is it, Mr. Guster?" asked Chief Vick alarmed
"She was on Zipagorsolistasm… it's a very dangerous anti-stress medication. So, dangerous it never even hit the shelves. They pulled it off the market almost instantly because of all the horrible side effects." explained Gus
"What do you know about it?" asked Vick looking at Gus slightly concerned
"Not too much just the side effects it's included heart attack, foaming at the mouth, suicidal thoughts and actions, nightmares, hallucinations, and death." explained Gus
"All right. I am officially re opening our investigation. … … I want you two to find as much as you can about this drug and how Sarah Miller got it. Lassiter… O'Hara I want you to see if you can find a connection between Sarah Millers death and the murders of John and Ellen Miller. I'll talk to the coroner to see him his analysis connects with your vision, Mr. Spencer." ordered Chief Vick
"Chief, shouldn't Gus and I investigate a connection between this and the murders after all it's been my psychic trances that have gotten us here." corrected Shawn
"Mr. Spencer, this was Lassiter and O'Hara's case originally so it is they're responsibility to handle this. So, for once please just investigate what I ask you to and nothing else." said Chief Vick "Now, come on people we have a crime to investigate."
Everyone leaves the holding room. They wait until Juliet and Lassiter leave. "Shawn, you coming?"
"I'll be right there." said Shawn
Shawn goes over to Lassiter's files and finds the one on the Millers case. Suddenly he comes upon the name of the witness and an address. He and Gus get in the blueberry. "Before we go to Psych we need to make one quick stop."
"No. Shawn, you did not go to through Lassiter's files to find out who that witness was. Chief Vick was very specific about what we were supposed to do." Gus said trying to stop his friend from disobeying orders.
"And when was the last time you saw me listen to the chief. Now come on let's go talk to a witness." Shawn pointed out.
"What's the address?" asked Gus sighing in defeat.
" Glad you asked. 240 Miller Lane." said Shawn
They drive up to the property just as Juliet and Lassiter do. They all get out of the cars. "What are you two doing here? The Chief told you to stay out of this." said Lassiter
"Lassie! What are you and Jules doing here? O wait, is this the witness's house? Isn't that funny. Well, since Gus and I are here we might as well help." said Shawn pretending that he had no idea they would be there.
"No." said Lassiter flatly.
"Lassiter, they did come all this way." said Juliet
"O'Hara! They obviously figured out where we were going and followed us. " said Lassiter
" Not true, Lassie. We didn't even know this was the witness's house. We were heading to Psych and I just got another psychic vibe now shall we?" asked Shawn
"Likely story." said Lassiter
They all walk up to the property. There is a woman who is nailing up a sold sign. Lassiter goes up to her. "Excuse me? What are you doing?"
The woman looks at him "I'm performing for a children's birthday party… what does it look like, you idiot I just sold this house." said woman
"Excuse me but doesn't Mrs. Samantha Welby live here?" asked Juliet
"I'm afraid I don't know that couple who sold the house was called Founders. Never talked to the husband but the wife said something about leaving town suddenly. I just talked to her actually. Said that if I needed anything she'd be spending the night at a hotel and that she and her husband were leaving town in the morning." explained the woman
"Thank you." said Juliet
"No witness. Which means no one actually saw Sarah Miller or anyone leave the crime scene." said Lassiter
"Which means someone framed Sarah Miller." said Shawn
"But who would do that?" asked Juliet
"Someone close to her who knows she wouldn't have it in her to actually do it but would make a great scapegoat." said Shawn
"You getting a psychic vibe?" asked Juliet
" seemed logical." said Shawn
"Spencer being logical? I think we've entered the Twilight Zone." said Lassiter
"Well a woman did claim to kill someone in her sleep." said Juliet "And Shawn was the only one who thought it wasn't possible. In fact, he was the only one to believed that her dream was just that."
"That wasn't logic it was luck." said Lassiter "And everything lines up."
"I think you're just jealous, Lassie because as usual we are solving this case faster than you are." Shawn pointed out.
"I am not jealous and I will find out who killed Ellen, John, and Sarah Miller by the end of the day,Spencer." said Lassiter
"You want to make it a bet?" asked Shawn get in Lassiter's face, "If I win you have to come over to my and Juliet's place and be our slave for three weeks."
"And if I win you have to stay away from the station for three weeks. " said Lassie
"Shawn, side bar." asked Juliet pulling him over to her
"I don't want Lassiter cleaning and cooking for us." said Juliet getting upset.
"Noted." said Shawn to then turns.
"At the request of my lovely wife I am changing our deal to you being my and Gus's slave at Psych for three weeks." said Shawn
"Done." said Lassiter
"Carlton, you really want to put yourself through this again? You've made a very similar bet with Shawn before and you lost. You positive you want to go down that road again?" asked Juliet trying to talk Lassister out of it.
"Absolutely, I will wipe that smirk off your stupid husband's face faster than you can say 'hopscotch'." said Carlton
"Carlton, I really don't believe you should do this." warned Juliet
"No one asked for your opinion, O'Hara. This is between me and your husband. So say out of this!"
"Hey! Don't talk to my wife like that!" yelled Shawn
"She was my partner before she was your wife." pointed out Lassiter"And as for you….You are going down,Spencer."
"We'll see." said Shawn as he and Gus walk to the blueberry.
"You already know who did it don't you?" asked Gus
" Yes. I do." said Shawn "But first let's go look up the ingredients to Zippa." said Shawn
" Zipagorsolistasm." said Gus
They go back to the psych office and start doing research compiling a list of every ingredient they could find. "I never thought something could have so much in it. It must have been very powdery probably get over everything." said Shawn as Gus prints out the information he found. "No wonder it was all over her hands." said Shawn "Anyway, we need to find the pharmacy that Sarah's friend works at. Remember when I noticed her wiping blue powder on her pants and I asked her what she did for a living and she said a pharmacist? Sarah wouldn't get a medication from just anyone but she could trust her best friend and roommate so she thought." said Shawn
"But first let's give Chief Vick what we found." said Gus
They go to the SBPD station and walk into Vick's office. "All right, boys. What have you got for me?" asked Vick
"A list of every ingredient in this medication." said Gus handing her the list.
"Good work,gentlemen. Any luck finding out who sold it to her?" asked Vick
"Yes, chief got a physic vision about it on the way here." said Shawn
"Good. Let me know when you make more progress." said Vick who faxes over the information to the coroner.
Vick then gets a phone call. "Wait." said Vick "uh huh… uh huh… you're sure? Thank you." said Vick "It appears we have a match. You were right it is Zipagorsolistasm in Sarah Miller's me who sold this to her."
The guys leave the office and drive to the pharmacy and find Judy Glass working behind the counter "How may I help you guys ?" asked Judy
"Actually, we have more questions about your roommate Sarah." said Shawn
"I told you two everything I know." said Judy
"But that's not true is it, Judy? You didn't tell us that you were the one that sold her the anti-stress medication." said Shawn
"So?" asked Judy
"She's dead." said Shawn
"I can't believe she killed herself in prison." said Judy upset by the news, "I knew she was thinking about it because of everything but I didn't think she's actually go through with it."
"That's because she didn't kill herself the highly illegal medication you gave her killed is curious though that you mentioned she'd want to kill herself considering that she has been in holding all day without a single visitor and you have been here. How could you have known that she was even thinking of suicide? See, I don't think she was. You are just saying that because you don't want to live with the truth of what you did." explained Shawn "Now we happen to know that this particular medication that you put her on is not on the market . Where did you get it?"
" I have no idea what you're talking about I have never sold anyone anything illegal in my life. And Sarah Miller was my best friend I would never kill her. Never." Judy kept saying defensively.
"Then you wouldn't mind if we came behind the counter and see what you have stashed back there?" asked Shawn
"Actually, I would. It's against store policy for anyone but employees to come back here." said Judy
"Actually, I read through the employee handbook all employees are obliged to let anyone back there when it involves a police investigation." Gus corrected.
"But you two aren't the police." Judy pointed out.
"A quick call to the chief will confirm that as physic consultants we are permitted to the same rights as the regular officers on the force especially when we think someone has something to hide." said Shawn
" How do I put this… I don't care now get out of this pharmacy before I throw you out!" threatened Judy
"Miss Glass! Miss Glass, I'd like to see you a minute!" yelled a voice from another room
" Coming ." said Judy going towards the back.
Shawn takes the opportunity to leap over the counter as Gus keeps a look out. Shawn starts searching and finds duffel under the counter. "What do we have in here?" he says and puts it on the counter. Gus opens it "Zipagorsolistasm!" said Gus they do a happy dance at this.
"What the hell are you doing! That's it I'm calling the police." said Judy
"Do that then you can explain to them why you have bottles and bottles of this!" he yelled holding up Zipagorsolistasm. "Now, who sold it to you?"
"I just got it from some guy." said Judy
"Really? What guy?" asked Gus
"His name was Bruno Marsden. Sells hard to find medications and 's just a way to make extra money." said Judy
"So you decided to sell some to your best friend?" asked Shawn "Gus, call Lassie and Jules tell them to get down here now." said Shawn
"Lassie and Jules sounds like the name of a dog fashion show." said Judy "By the way, I'm not the one who wanted to sell it to Sarah. Dr. Founders was the one that recommended the stuff said it would help with her stress. I tried to warn her about the side effects to be honest I'm not even sure how she knew about it? Zipagorsolistasm is not a commonly known drug and it's very new."
Gus fails the number and then hangs up "They'll be here any minute." said Gus.
Juliet and Lassiter pull up with back up. "Jules… Lassie… perfect timing. Judy Glass here sold the medication that killed Sarah Miller in prison and just confessed that Bruno Marsden sold it to her."
"Bruno Marsden? He's one of the biggest drug dealers in all of Santa Barbara. We have been searching for him for over a year is he?!" demanded Lassiter
"I don't know we meet on a street corner on Lincoln and Vine." said Judy
"Judy Glass, you are under arrest for the murders of Sarah, John, and Ellen Miller." said Juliet who hand cuffs her and starts to read Judy her rights as they leave.
" I hate to say this but it looks like you won,Spencer." said Lassiter "What time do you want me Monday?" asked Lassiter
"Gus and I have to discuss arrangements. We'll let you know." said Shawn
Shawn and Gus walk to the blueberry and get in.
"So, what do we do now?" asked Gus
"We find the person who killed Ellen and John Miller." said Shawn
"It wasn't Judy?" asked Gus
"No, Judy was just an accessory to Sarah's murder the real killer is still out there. Let's get to work." said Shawn
