So Shawn and Henry are sitting on the porch in the chairs, both with a bottle of beer. It's been a long week for both of them. Shawn's case was tougher than usual, he hasn't been sleeping great; Henry's back has been acting up so neither has he.
It's sunset, the sun is going down the water is red and orange, a few clouds streaking across the darkening sky above their heads and there's a soft, slightly warm breeze. They're sitting there all quiet and Henry says, "Why did you do it, kid?"
It doesn't need to be something big, or even something heartbreaking or emotional. Maybe Shawn did something on his case that he's not sure he's comfortable with, maybe he just took his dad's keys, maybe they're talking about the past, maybe they're talking about a girl, maybe they’re talking about the future. Whatever. You choose and go from there.
The only requirement is that the fic start with Henry saying, “Why did you do it, kid?” in that setting.

After a long week there’s nothing anyone likes more than a relaxing chair and a cold beer right? Until the conversation takes an unpredictable turn and Shawn ends up admitting he’s scared as hell about something.
Response to the challenge: Why’d you do it, kid? But it doesn’t follow the requirements exactly, as you will see, but I think it works.

It probably wasn't so much that his son killed a man that bothered him so much. It was the fact that it should've mattered, but didn't. To Shawn, of all people? It definitely should've mattered.
