Juliet has to come up with a plan to get Lassiter alone so they can remove the Mark. Will she be successful or will Lassie find out about her plan?
Juliet walked out of the Psych office, making her way over to her car before unlocking it and hopping in. She slid the key into the ignition and twisted it, finding comfort in the familiar purr of the engine as it rumbled beneath her. She pulled out of the parking lot and headed toward the police station.
So many thoughts swirled through Juliet's head that it was hard to focus on just one. She felt like her mind had become a hurricane of thoughts and emotions and she just wanted to hide from it all.
After hearing what Shawn and the Winchesters had said, she was afraid to confront Carlton at the station. If he really did have this "Mark of Cain", as the boys kept calling it, then he could be a murderer. Juliet had always trusted him but now she didn't know what to believe anymore.
With a heavy sigh, Juliet parked her car in front of the station and got out, making sure to lock the doors before heading inside. It was the same as always; people were bustling about, finishing up their own cases or sitting at their desks, doing research.
Juliet wished she could be like them right now. They hadn't just found out that their partner could be a potential murderer and they didn't have to come up with a plan to lure him away and get him alone. She envied them.
Juliet squared her shoulders and strode over to her desk, her heels tapping on the floor beneath her. She caught a few of the other officers staring at her but she ignored them. Shawn was the only man she loved.
She sat down at her desk, her gaze resting on the stack of papers that was piled in front of her computer. "Carlton," she muttered, shaking her head and exhaling through her nose. He always left stuff for her to do, no matter what was going on at the moment.
Pushing the papers to the side, Juliet folded her hands in front of her and thought. She tried to clear her mind so she could think of a good enough plan to lure Lassiter away so the Winchesters could remove the Mark. Her mind kept drawing a blank and it kept drifting to the thought of Carlton being a murderer.
Juliet still couldn't wrap her mind around it. Yes, Carlton was very disturbing at times and he HAD killed a few people but never in cold blood. He always did his job well and didn't hurt innocent people for no reason. But if Shawn trusted the Winchesters, then Juliet would too.
"Hey!" A voice startled Juliet from her thoughts, making her jump slightly. She glanced up to see Lassiter staring at her oddly, an expression of concern on his face.
"You okay? You seem...stressed," Carlton said. Juliet smiled slightly before shaking her head.
"I'm fine, Carlton. Don't worry about me," Juliet told him, waving her hand as if dismissing his words. He nodded curtly before walking back to his desk.
"Well then get to work! You have a lot to do!" Lassiter threw over his shoulder. Juliet groaned and dropped her face into her hands, rubbing her eyes tiredly. She took one glance at the stack of papers on her desk and decided that she wasn't going to get anything done here. She had more important things to worry about then paperwork.
Standing up, Juliet walked back out of the station and started down the sidewalk. Walks always helped clear her head and she hoped it would work again this time. Especially since she needed it.
After awhile of walking, Juliet's mind started to clear and she could keep track of her thoughts better. She started to think about the option of telling Carlton the truth but after debating it for a little while, she decided it wasn't worth the risk. Shawn had told her not to tell anyone and she was going to keep it that way.
Suddenly, an idea popped into Juliet's head. The perfect fake case started unfolding in her mind and she almost jumped with joy as she planned it out. She could tell Lassie that it was a top secret case that only he could handle. Juliet would say that Chief Vick had just talked to her and that they were the only two who could take it. It was perfect. Lassiter loved getting special attention so this was definitely going to convince him.
Taking out her phone, Juliet dialed Shawn's number and held the device to her ear. She would tell Shawn about her plan and have them decide where to meet her when she had Lassiter.
Juliet prayed that everything would go smoothly and that this would be over soon. She just wanted her partner back.
