"Carlton you don't need to be here now," Juliet said, since it was clear that someone was following her, it was taken as a serious threat and Lassiter had not left her alone for a moment.
"As long as the person who's after you is still out there, I'm staying right here," Lassiter said.
"There's really no need for this, Juliet said. "Plus Shawn will be here soon."
"Right, and how exactly can Spencer protect you?" Lassiter questioned.
"Don't underestimate him, Juliet said.
"Well, you can find me here in my car tonight, call me if you need real protection, Lassiter said.
The door opened and Shawn walked into the house, Juliet noticed right away that he was hurt
"Shawn what happened? Juliet asked, she walked over to Shawn and looked at his eye.
"Someone hit me," Shawn replied.
"Who hit you?" Juliet asked.
"No idea, but I'm pretty it's the same person who threatened you," Shawn said.
Juliet walked to her kitchen and opened the freezer.
"Where did this happen?" Lassiter asked.
"Near my apartment, I was going to get some stuff and then it happened," Shawn said.
"I'll send officers over to your house and have the area searched," Lassiter said.
"Lassie can you ask one of the officers to go into my house and get some stuff for me?" Shawn asked.
"Why didn't you do that yourself Spencer?" Lassiter asked.
"Because I came straight here, I was worried about Jules," Shawn said.
"What do you need?" Lassiter asked.
"I text what I need," Shawn said, he grabbed his keys from his pocket and tossed them to Lassiter. "Here are my keys."
Lassiter left Juliet's house. Shawn sat down on the couch, Juliet walked back into the living room with a cloth with ice cubes in it, she sat down next to Shawn and put the ice on his eye.
"Ouch," Shawn cried.
"Sorry," Juliet said, she took the ice of his eyes.
"It's okay," Shawn said.
Juliet carefully put the ice back on Shawn's eye. "Is that better."
"Yes, thank you," Shawn said.
"And you didn't see the person at all?" Juliet asked.
"No, I only thing I saw of him was his fist as it coming at me," Shawn said.
"Do you think it's Jordan?" Juliet asked.
"Yes, but I wouldn't be surprised if he had someone do this to him," Shawn said.
"He doesn't seem like the type to do his own dirty work," Juliet said. "Are you all right?"
"Except for my eye, I'm fine, Shawn said. "How are you?"
"Other the fact that someone is after me, I'm fine," Juliet said.
"Chief Vick has arranged protection detail for you, I see," Shawn said.
"Yes, they haven't left alone all day," Juliet said.
"As long as you are safe that is the most important thing," Shawn said, as he put his hand on Juliet's leg.
"I can take care of myself," Juliet said.
"I know that, but that doesn't mean I won't worry about you," Shawn said.
"Are you hungry?"
"Yes."
"I'll fix us something," Juliet said.
"I'll help you, Shawn said.
"No, you stay put and keep that ice on your eye," Juliet said, she put Shawn's hand on the ice, she got up and headed to her kitchen.
A few hours later, Juliet was in bed. Shawn walked into the room with a baseball bat in his hands.
"I double-checked all the windows and doors and everything's locked," Shawn said.
"Shawn, I locked everything up, you didn't have to double-check," Juliet said.
"I had to double check for myself, I can barely see out of this eye right now," Shawn said, he gestured to his eye, that now had turned into a black eye.
"Does it still hurt?" Juliet asked.
"Not a much as before," Shawn said, as he got in bed.
"Sorry this happened to you," Juliet said.
Jules, even if I had a second black eye right now, I'm not gonna give up on this one, I'm going to solve this case."
"And I'll help you, Juliet said, she then noticed that Shawn had the baseball bat with him. "Shawn, why do you have a baseball bat?"
"For your safety, if that bag somehow manages to get into your house I have this thing to protect you," Shawn said.
"Shawn I sleep with a gun under my pillow, I think that will do a lot more than your bat," Juliet said.
"Jules, you know I have the tenacity of a Swiss fox and the instincts of a dragonfly," Shawn said. "And now I'm in full 'Protective Boyfriend Modes'."
"You're sweet," Juliet said.
"And badass?" Shawn asked.
"And you're badass," Juliet told him.
"I'm your sweet, badass boyfriend with fabulous hair," Shawn said.
"You're my sweet, badass boyfriend with badass hair," Juliet told Shawn.
"That's so sweet of you to say that, Jules," Shawn said.
Juliet put her hand on Shawn's cheek and stared into his eyes. "I love you."
"I love you too Jules," he said.
"Let's just go to sleep, we have a lot of work to do again tomorrow," Juliet said.
"Yeah, good idea, Shawn said.
Juliet placed a kiss on Shawn's black eye.
"Still hurts a bit."
"Sorry."
"You're worth the pain Jules."
Shawn pressed his lips to Juliet's and gave her a long, tender and sweet kiss. Juliet lay down, she snuggled close to Shawn and rested her head by his chest. Shawn wrapped his arms around her, he gave Juliet a kiss on the top of her head.
Of course, Shawn knew very well that Juliet could take care of herself just fine, but as her boyfriend, he just wanted to protect her. And now here they lay in bed together, Juliet safe in his arms.
