~All It Takes Is One Bullet~

            Shawn, Gus, Juliet, Lassiter, and Vick were sitting in the Chief’s office. Well not really, Vick and Lassiter were sitting; Gus and Juliet were standing and Shawn… Shawn was dancing around the office pretending to channel the bride who was killed from a wedding gone wrong.

            The bride was stabbed in the heart by a bridesmaid before they said “I Do.” The S.B.P.D has yet to find out who did it… until now.

            “It-It was Mary-Lulu Anne Miller, she did it. I-I was cheating on my to-be-husband with her b-boyfriend. She was mad,” girly voice Shawn said as he waltzed around.

            “Mr. Spencer are you sure about Ms. Miller? We’ve checked the church and her house, there is no evidence concerning her,” questioned Chief Vick.

            “Ah yes, but did you check her summer cabin,” Shawn asked in Shawn’s voice sitting down in Shawn’s body.

            “Good point Mr. Spencer, Lassiter, O’ Hara get a quick warrant and get over there to check it out,” barked Vick.

            “Chief can Gus and me go… pretty please,” Shawn got down on his knees and gave Karen the ‘puppy-dog pout’.

            Karen sighed, “Fine, Mr. Spencer, Mr. Guster, follow Lassiter and O’ Hara.”

            “Yippee!!!!”

            Shawn jumped up and rushed out of the office with Gus following slowly behind. Karen shook her head and smiled.

                                                            ~Hallway~

            Shawn ran down the hallway, practically jumping from desk to desk. He cut in front of Lassiter making him swear. Shawn laughed and ran faster.

“SPENCER!!,” Lassiter yelled while Juliet tried to cover a smile with little success, Lassiter turned and glared.

Lassiter, Juliet and Gus watched as Shawn disappeared past the front door. Then all of a sudden a bang was heard followed by screaming. The three of them ran out and

saw a sad/shocking scene.

            Shawn was lying on his back thrashing around and screaming/moaning/crying obviously in pain, a pool of blood forming under him.

            Gus rushed to his best friend’s side and took off his shirt and pressed it onto the gunshot wound. He looked up a worry line in his forehead. Lassiter put his radio away after calling the ambulance. Juliet a second ago was standing in shock tears slowly rolling down her cheeks now was trying to calm Shawn down.

            “Shawn it’s okay, you’re going to be okay,” Juliet said softly, Shawn calming down a smidge, “ We’ll just get you to the hospital and you’ll be fine.”

            Shawn slowly calmed down as Juliet started talking and calmed down a lot more when he felt her hand on his forehead. Sirens could be heard making people look out if their cars following the ambulance as it traveled the street and stopped in front of the group crowded around Shawn, Gus and Juliet.

            The paramedics pulled the gurney out of the back and loaded Shawn on it. As they moved him a moan escaped his lips and his eyes fluttered.

            “Jules?,” he whispered.

            “Don’t worry Shawn everything will be okay,” She whispered back, quiet enough for only Shawn to hear, or so she thought. A female paramedic heard her and smiled.

            “Umm, miss?,” Juliet looked up from Shawn, “Would you like to ride with him?”

            “Thanks I would like that, Gus,” Gus ran toward her,” could you call Shawn’s dad?” Gus nodded, “thanks”

            Shawn was loaded into the truck follow by Juliet then 2 paramedics. Shawn opened his eyes a little.

            “Jules, I knew you couldn’t stay away,” he said with a small grimace/smile.

            Juliet let out an involuntary giggle, “Shawn just work on getting better.”

            “Okay,” he whispered then passed out.

            Through the rest of the trip Juliet sat there and thought…
