Summary: Shawn makes a mistake, but Henry makes an even bigger one during their fight about it, will Shawn ever forgive him? Will Shawn catch the jewel thief, and get his job back, or will he lose his will to try after his father's hurtful words?

Larceny and Assassination; Character That Is

"God Shawn, every time I think that the bar is set at its lowest point, you continue to surprise me." Henry had said to him, in the voice laced with disappointment that he had become accustom to for the majority of his life. "For some reason, I still can't wrap my mind around, you decided to be employed by the Santa Barbra police department, and because of that you are not only a reflection on me, but you are a reflection on the department.

"Geez dad, I'm a psychic not a cop, I don't wear a uniform, I don't have a badge…well unless you count the bikini inspector one, but still then I would be a reflection on my fellow bikini inspectors." He modulates his tone into that of a mock whisper for the next part "and between you me, and your whisk I'm a pretty good reflection."

"Dammit Shawn!" Henry slams his hand on the kitchen counter for emphasis "that's the problem with you, you turn everything into a joke an-"

"And you turn everything into a Shakespearian actor's performance, but you don't see me making it into a big deal. Shawn gasped in fake excitement "we could make a television show called Serious, and Fun!" Henry gave him a glare "how about "The Bald and the Beautiful?"

"Shawn, for God sakes, enough!" Henry barked, "as I was saying, you turn everything into a joke and because of your behavior make completely ostentatious mistakes."

"Dad I do not make osteoporosis mistakes, I drink my milk" he said, standing up from the kitchen chair. "Look, if this is about the jewel case, that was a perfectly honest assumption-"

"Honest assumption?" Henry shouted, "on live television, during Chief Vick's press conference, you have one of your stupid visions and accuse a camera man of hiding the jewels in his camera case, and make him, in front of the reporters! And what in his case Shawn, do you remember?"

"Dad I-" Shawn started but was cut off harshly.

"What was in his case!" Henry's face was turning red.

"A camera" Shawn mumbled petulantly. "But look dad, it all makes sense, the camera guy did do it I just have to prove it."

"You'll do nothing of the sort Shawn, as of today you are suspended from any and all cases within the SBPD's jurisdiction," Henry said coldly.

"You-you can't do that, only the chief can suspend people" Shawn said, matter of factly. "Last I checked your just a liasol, you're not the chief."

"It's liaison Shawn, and-"

"I've heard it both ways" Shawn muttered head raised in defiance.

"AND Chief Vick is the one who decided this, and I was inclined to agree" Henry said matter of factly.

"Wait so you didn't even fight for me to keep my job?" Shawn yelled in realization "of course you didn't, your life isn't complete unless I am a disappointment in your eyes" He kicked the chair in a violent fit.

"Yeah that's right Shawn" Henry said mockingly. "The only reason you're a failure is because I get a kick out of it." "Oh don't act so innocent dad" Shawn said in malice. "We both know that this all stems from the fact that I didn't become a cop, and your still pissed about it".

"You know kid" Henry pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration. "I'm glad that you didn't become a cop." Shawn opened his mouth to protest but was quieted by a gesture. "If you had joined the force, I probably would have died of shame knowing that I was the reason you were making a mockery out of it, because lets face it, you would have failed at that too, the way you fail at everything." Shawn's eyes were downcast, and something inside Henry was telling him to stop but he ignored it and continued. "Because that's what you are Shawn, what you're always going to be; a failure, and a disappointment."

Shawn stood there for a moment, Henry expecting him to shout back, but he did nothing, eyes still looking at the floor. Then suddenly he grabbed his motorcycle helmet from the table, and stormed out the back door, slamming it behind him.
