Chapter 12: The history of brother and sister
"Shawn," Gus said. "I thought I told you that I was sick."
"You did," Shawn said.
Gus sighed.
"I need you to solve this case, buddy," Shawn said.
"Ok, so you say that Tara Flenderson is the killer? You haven't even talked to her properly.
"Didn't had to," Shawn said.
"How so?" Gus said.
"When I first saw her in the Psych office, she was very nervous."
"Ofcourse she was!" Gus snapped. "Her mom has been strangled to death!"
"Yes, by her," Shawn said.
"Explain," Gus demanded.
"No, we let /her/ explain it."
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
"You think I did /WHAT/!?" Tara yelled. You could see that she wanted to hit Shawn as hard as she could.
"I think you coldly murdered your mother," Shawn said.
"And the /HELL/ would I do that!?" Tara yelled again. "She's my /MOTHER/!"
"Yes. But you and James have a history. A very /wrong/ history."
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!" Tara said, making fists.
"When Gus and I went to talk with Mr. Jamesie, I noticed he had a tatoo of you. With many, many hearts around it."
Tara went quiet.
"Why would I kill my mother for that?" she eventually said.
"Because she agreed that James could marry. If he would get married, you would lose him forever. You still loved him. Very much. But he didn't feel the same way anymore. Sure, he loved you, but more like a brother then a lover."
Tara gulped. "M-om knew about us. She talked to James, told him that this was wrong, this what whe did. She told him to marry a nice young lady that wasn't family. That wasn't me. His sister."
Tears came into her eyes.
"He didn't love that girl. He loved me. /ME/, AND NO ONE ELSE!" She burst out in crying.
"So you tried to kill her," Shawn said. "But you failed."
"I tried to stab her," Tara admitted. "But I missed."
"So now you tried to kill her /again/, because it was /her/ fault that James would get married."
"YES! YES! I DID IT!" Tara screamed, the tears rolling down now.
The door got kicked in and Lassiter and Juliet came in, togheter with a whole bunch of cops.
"We arrest you for the murder on Daisy Flenderson. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you." Detective O'Hara cuffed her hands and passed her over to Lassiter.
"Great work guys ! Good teamwork, good teamwork !" Shawn smiled and help up his thumb.
Lassiter ignored hi mand took Tara to the police car.
"Teamwork!"
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
"I probably disgust you guys now, don't I? Sleeping with my sister. Don't know how I could tell this to my uncle." James let a hand go through his hair. "He won't be happy."
"It's better to be honest," Shawn said. "I'm sure he'll understand."
"How so?" James said.
"Tara is a pretty girl," Shawn said. "Ok, she's a psychopath who killed her own mother, but she's pretty."
James shook his head. "Yeah, she is," he said.
"James," a familiar voice said.
James looked up. "Uncle Lenny?"
"Flenny!" Shawn said. "Dude, you missed all the action!"
"Yeah, great action," Lenny said sarcastic. "My niece killed my sister."
Shawn nodded. "Yeah, sorry, forgot she was your niece." Shawn felt a little bit awkward and immediately changed the subject. "So James, don't you have something you want to tell your uncle about?"
Lenny looked to James.
"Uhm," James said. "Well, uh, erm."
Shawn nudged James.
"I slept with Tara," James said as a reflex on the nudge.
"You-what?" Lenny seemed confused. "You slept with Tara?"
James nodded, feeling ashamed about it.
Lenny seemed angry.
"Dude," Shawn whispered to Gus. "Lets get out of here. Want some Jerk Chicken?"
"You know that's right."
And togheter, they quietly sneaked away.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
