Chapter 4-Tale of fried chicken and airports
The guys drive away from the pharmacy, "Wait, I'm having a psychic vision." said Shawn
Gus gives Shawn the 'what the hell are you thinking' look. "Um, Shawn you do remember that I know you're not really psychic right?"
"Sorry, buddy. Hard to keep track sometimes but just humor me for a second." said Shawn
"Fine. What is your psychic vision telling you?" asked Gus exasperated
"I see us sitting in KFC eating a bucket of extra crispy and a side of wedges." said Shawn
"Each?" asked Gus excited
"Don't be a crazy person, of course each ." Shawn confirmed
"You know that's right." said Gus as they fist bump.
The guys drive to KFC and Shawn runs over to the counter like a kid in a candy store and goes up to the young woman at the counter "Hey there, pretty lady." said Shawn flirting.
"Hey there." responded the girl flirting back"What could I get you, cutie."
"I'd like extra crispy chicken and a side of you." ordered Shawn
"Shawn, remember Juliet your wife." hissed Gus "Stop flirting!"
"You're right, Jules would kill me if I came home with another woman." said Shawn "OK, seriously, I'd like the extra crispy with a side of wedges, mash potatoes, biscuits, and some grilled chicken. What are you getting?" asked Shawn
"Shawn, you can't eat all that." Gus pointed out.
"Who are you my father? What are you going to do next ask me how many hats are in the room?" asked Shawn
"Very funny." said Gus staring him down
Shawn walks away.
"Shawn, where are you going?" demanded Gus
"I'm going to save us a table." said Shawn
"No… no Shawn, I am not paying for all this food and I am not carrying it all to the table. come back here!" demanded Gus. Shawn started to walk to the back of the restaurant pretending not to hear Gus.
"Shawn… Shawn Spencer, you come back here! Don't pretend you don't here me… Shawn!" demanded Gus but defeated he just grumbles orders his food, pays for both him and Shawn, and when it comes takes it all to the table that Shawn was sitting at. "I hate you." grumbled Gus
"No, you don't. I'm impossible to hate." said Shawn "And you knew that I was going to do that to you. We go through this every time we go somewhere to eat. I order a bunch of stuff . Go find a table. And you pay and bring the food over now stop being such a gloomy Gus."
They start to eat.
"Now, what do we know? Ellen Miller had her husband write his sister out of the will so she and John get all the money and property. It is very stressful for the sisters but Sarah is taking it the hardest because she has to go to her sister Julia for counseling and medication."
"But it turns out the medication is highly dangerous. The person she gets it from is her best friend and roommate Judy who gets it from a drug dealer named Bruno Marsden as a way to sell it on the side." continued Gus
"But because of the side effects of the medication Sarah believed that she murdered Ellen and John. The question is what led her to believe that." said Shawn "She must have been deeply in depression though. Julia seemed to earn enough without her parent's fortune to get a ticket to Hawaii."
"Hawaii?" asked Gus
"Saw the tickets in her office." said Shawn
Suddenly, the door of the restaurant clicks open and in walks a familiar pretty looking blonde girl. However unlike the last time they saw her she wasn't wearing a robe with her name on it. She came over when she saw them, "Hello, Shawn. Hi, Gus." she said flirting with Gus
"Vivian. When did they let you out?" asked Gus surprised.
"A few months ago." said Vivian
"So, no more Frank?" asked Gus
"Not since I went to see my new therapist Dr. Founders. She is a miracle worker. Founders uses this brand new treatment where she puts patients under a deep sleep and then goes into the subconscious of the subconscious and erases any trace of the issue. Since her I don't black out any more which means Frank is gone." Vivian explained
"So, what you're saying is that Dr. Founders pretty much killed a man." said Shawn
"Shawn, can't you be more sensitive? He is helping Vivian with a very serious issue." said Gus
"Gus, if Dr. Founders could wipe out a man just by delving into the subconscious could she do the same thing but convince someone that they committed a murder?" asked Shawn
" I don't know too much about the new psychiatric technique yet not many therapists are using it but in theory yes and that doubled with giving them Zipagorsolistasm would make the person believe that they murdered in their sleep." said Gus "Shawn did we just?"
" We most certainly did. Thank you, Vivian. You are a genius." Said Shawn kissing Vivian on the lips. "Join us, please! Enjoy in our glorious bounty!"
Vivian sits down with them "Thank you." she picks up some chicken starting to eat it.
"Let's finish up here. We need to get to bed early. We have a plane to catch in the morning." said Shawn "But first we need to discuss what we'll have Lassie do when we the bet."
"Let's just have him do what he did last time." said Gus
"Sounds fair." said Shawn
The next morning, Gus and Shawn pull the blueberry up to the airport terminal. Shawn gets on the phone as he exits the car, "Lassie? It's me… Shawn Spencer your favorite psychic detective… yea, I got a mammoth sized Psychic vibe from the airport. I'm there now. I think I may have found The Millers' , Judy was just an accomplice." said Shawn "Get here as soon as you can."They sneak over to the employee section and go into a closet. Each of them puts on a uniform and sneak past security with Shawn taking the lead. They go to the terminal to Hawaii. Shawn surveys the room for a second as they walk. He sees a business man talking on a cell phone. An anxious woman with some bratty kids. An indian family. Some Chinese tourists. Suddenly he sees Dr. Founders walking and slowly follows after her at a pretty good distance. Gus follows behind him. As they get to the news/ souvenir stand they stop and hide inside watching as Dr. Founders turns towards E 7 and when she gets there she sits at an available seat. After what seems like 20 minutes or so. Lassiter and Juliet show up. "All right. I'm on. Gus stay here." Said Shawn who goes over to the deck and gets on the mic "Attention all passengers on flight 5679 from Santa Barbara to Hawaii your flight has been delayed due to the fact that one of you is a who is it?"asked Shawn putting his hand to his head. "Is it you?" he said pointing to a random guy. "No not you. It's you!" he said pointing to Dr. Founders.
"Me?! That is completely ridiculous. I've never killed anyone in my life!" yelled Dr. Founders "I would never hurt anyone."
"Actually, that's not true, Dr. Founders, See, you liked being rich. It was the lifestyle you grew up in. Unlike your sister you never wanted to give that up but your parents died and left everything to your brother aside from a few properties that they left to you and your sister. You were ok with that at first until your brother got married to a power hungry gold digger who decided that she wanted everything including the properties that she could easily sell for a trip around the world. starting small with a place everyone wants to go to Hawaii. But of course if you just killed them it would be too easy. You needed someone else to pin it on so you turned to your sister. She was upset because all the fighting over the will was putting her in a very tough spot. So, she came to you for help. You used one of your new techniques. You dug into the subconscious of the subconscious and told her the entire plan on how you were planning on killing your brother and sister in law. Every last detail and then gave her a highly dangerous medication to make the story stick. Then that night your murdered them. You knew exactly who your sister would get medication from and what else it could do to her but you didn't care. All you could think about was getting what you wanted and because of that your sister is dead just like the others and you are going into a cell with your accomplice. I think she'd love to know that you were planning on leaving town letting her take the wrap for everything." explained Shawn
"This is insane! I never slit Ellen and John's throat and I most certainly didn't stab John in the chest! I would never do that to family!" yelled Dr. Founders
"I don't believe anyone said anything about slitting throats or stabbing, Dr. Founders." said Lassiter
Lassiter and Juliet cuff her and read Dr. Founders her rights as they leave. A security yells at Shawn and Gus "Hey! You! You don't work security here!" he yelled
"Gus..,run." said Shawn as he runs back towards the front of the airport and Gus follows behind.
"Come back here!" the security guy yells "Come back!"
"You and your bright" said Gus as they lock themselves in the closet.
The End
