Summary: Juliet just wanted the case to be over. She wanted it to be over so she could go home, curl up on the sofa with an afghan and her cat, and cry her heart out.

But who knew that convicting this man would be so difficult? And who knew that everything Juliet was trying so hard to forget would become front-page news?

The aftermath of Shawn Takes a Shot in the Dark. Because sometimes cases aren't so easy to close. Even when you catch the guy red-handed.

Major spoilers for Shawn Takes a Shot in the Dark, obviously. Minor spoilers will be posted before each chapter as need be.

Thanks for reading! I know some of you asked if the previous chapter was a one-shot or not; I actually wrote it as either a prologue or a stand-alone piece, depending on the response I got. Since at least some of you out there seem to be enjoying it, I decided to go forward with it! So this will be several chapters as our heroes are going to run into some complications, obviously...

Once again, major, major spoilers for Shawn Takes a Shot in the Dark. Very minor spoilers (almost references, really, but I'll cite them just to be safe) to: Woman Seeking Dead Husband...,High Top Fade Out, Bollywood Homicide, Shawn Has the Yips, and Gus Walks Into a Bank
