Psych Goes Treasure Hunting!

By RascalFlattsS

A/N So, I am basically in love with Shawn's uncle Jack. And since Jack is a treasure hunter, I was thinking, what if Jack somehow ended up working with the gang from National Treasure (Ben Gates, Abigail Chase, Riley Poole, and Patrick Gates) and Jack betrays them and the bad guys. Before Jack leaves, he tells Ben about his psychic nephew. Ben and his gang try to find Shawn and his gang (Juliet, Gus, Henry and Lassiter) before the bad guys do to solve the case and find the treasure. Sounds easy, huh?

Also, I think that it is really interesting how these characters match up:

Ben & Shawn: the leaders and are really good at solving puzzles

Abigail & Juliet: pretty, smart girl whose in love with the hero (Ben/Shawn)

Riley/Gus: the nerdy sidekick that everyone loves just as much (if not more) the hero

Patrick/Henry: the father who is teams up to help his son who ends up follow in his footsteps.

Not sure how Lassiter works in there but do not worry, I will find a way !

I will attempt to do this justice.

Chapter 1: Somewhere in the world…Ben Gates isn't happy and Riley-well is being Riley

Down in the Amazon rainforest, Ben Gates made a mental note to later kick himself for ever listening to Jack Spencer. He was also kicking himself for not only dragging himself into this mess but also his wife Abigail (before their marriage her name was Chase), his friend Riley Poole and his father Patrick. Now, there were all being held at gunpoint by Juan Carlos (wherever or not this was his real name, Ben wasn't sure).

Jack was trying to talk his way out of trouble but it wasn't working. Juan was screaming at the top of his lungs about how Jack had betrayed.

"You said the treasure was here!" shouted Juan.

"I said that the treasure might be here," said Jack, desperately. He turned to Ben, "Didn't I say that it might be here, Ben?"

Ben shrugged his shoulders. He wasn't getting involved. Not this time.

Riley however decided that now was the perfect time to get involved. "Look, Juan, the treasure should be here but…"

"Shut up, Riley!" shouted Juan as he moved the gun between Riley and Jack.

"But," continued Riley, "I mean, even the treasure isn't here, there is a way that we can find out where it is-there always a way…"

"SHUT UP, RILEY!" shouted Juan, now pointing the gun directly at Riley. "I have no problem shooting you."

Riley swallowed. He was never good at these situations and he somehow always made it worse. "But if you just listen-"

"Riley, shut up!" shouted Ben and Abigail. Ben glanced at Riley trying to tell him to shut up without Juan noticing but he did.

"So Ben," said Juan, never taking the gun off Riley. "How do we find my treasure now?"

Ben swallowed. "I don't know," he answered honestly.

"Fine," said Juan. "Have it your way." He pointed the gun at Riley and pulled the trigger. The gun went off with a "BANG!" and Riley screamed and collapsed to the ground.

"RILEY!" shouted Ben. He tried to move forward towards his friend but one of Juan's goons grabbed him and pinned his arms behind his back. Ben struggled but he couldn't get free. He turned and saw Abigail, Patrick and Jack restrained the same way.

"What the hell was that for?" demanded Ben. He glared at Juan not trying to intimate the man but simply because he couldn't look down at the ground and see Riley's lifeless form.

"Why the hell not?" asked Juan. "Riley was getting on my nerves anyway."

Juan walked over and kicked Riley on the side. Riley moaned and (to Ben's relief) tried to move away. However Juan pushed him back down and held him in place by putting his foot on Riley's injured shoulder. Riley screamed and tried to push him off but it was no use.

"STOP IT!" screamed Abigail. "You're hurting him!"

Juan turned and looked at her. He lifted his foot off Riley's shoulder. Riley slumped back to the ground, letting his head rest on the jungle floor. Ben could hear Riley panting, struggling for breath. Even though Ben was far away, he could see Riley was pale and sweating.

"Tell me what I need to know," said Juan. "Or you get to watch your friend die."

"Please," plead Ben. "We don't know anything. Please don't let him…" Ben stopped, feeling his voice catch.

"What?" sneered Juan. "Don't let him what, Ben? Don't let him die?"

Ben glanced down at Riley and watched as Riley's eyes close and not reopen.

"Riley! NO! RILEY!" Ben struggled against his captor, fighting to be free. He could hear Abigail crying and his father shouting and he could feel his captor struggling hold him but all that he could think about was Riley. Riley who was all there for him and believed in him and his crazy (often times law-breaking) plans. Riley who was the best man at his wedding. Riley who was there every time Ben found a treasure but hardly ever got the credit he deserved.

His best friend was lying a few feet away, dying and there was nothing Ben Gates could do about it.

"WAIT!" said Jack. Everyone stopped and turned to look at him.

"You know where my treasure is?" asked Juan.

"No," said Jack. "But I know who does!" He added quickly as Juan pointed the gun at him. "My nephew Shawn-great kid-he's psychic! He can find out the treasure's location! He and his best friend Gus found that lost pirate treasure in Santa Barbara last year! He can find out where it is!"

Juan lowered his gun. "Your nephew is really psychic?"

"Of course!" said Jack. "He's the best! Takes after his father," he added bitterly, thinking of his older brother.

"Very well," said Juan. "We'll go get your psychic nephew." He brought the gun right up to Jack's temple. "This is your last chance, Jack. Don't screw it up or you and your nephew will regret it."

Jack swallowed. If Juan didn't kill him, Henry would for involving Shawn in another one of his "stupid hair-brain schemes." Besides as long as Shawn delivered like he did last time, there wouldn't be a problem.

Jack nodded, "Deal."

Juan nodded to his henchmen. They released Ben, Abigail, Patrick and Jack. The first three rushed to their friend's side. Jack started towards Riley however one of Juan's goons grabbed him by the back of shirt and pulled Jack back.

"HEY!" said Jack. "What about them?" He gestured towards Ben, Abigail and Patrick.

Juan looked over. None of them had even noticed that Juan had grabbed Jack. All of them were focused on their friend.

"Leave them," said Juan. "They have bigger things to worry about. They are no threat to me."

And with that, Juan and his goons dragged Jack back into the jungle. Juan had to smile despite himself. He always heard that Santa Barbara was nice this time of year.

Juan was right. Ben never noticed anything after Juan's goon let him go. He was by Riley's side in an instant, followed closely by his wife and father.

Ben put his fingers on the side of Riley's throat and breathed a sigh of relief as he felt a pulse. Riley was still alive. Nothing else mattered

Ben tapped on Riley's face. "Riley. Riley! Wake up!"

Riley slowly opened his eyes. He looked dazed. "What happened?"

"You were shot," said Ben. "You pissed off Juan and he shot you." Ben didn't realize how much his voice shook until he heard himself says those words. "And if you ever get yourself shot again, I'm going to kill you."

"Isn't that what you were already trying to do anything?" said Riley. Ben had to fight hard to hide the smile but it didn't work.

Abigail pulled the bandana out her hair and brought up to Riley's shoulder. Riley grimaced against the pain but he didn't scream.

"Do you think you can stand if Dad and I help you?" asked Ben. Riley nodded. Ben and Patrick pulled Riley to his feet. Riley swayed but managed not to pass out.

"Where's Juan?" asked Abigail.

Ben looked around. He hadn't even noticed that Juan and company had left, apparently taking Jack with them. Not that it mattered. Nothing mattered right now excepting getting Riley to the hospital.

"We'll deal with them later," said Ben. Abigail could see the fear in his eyes. "Right now, we need to get Riley to a hospital."

"No," said Riley. "We need to get to the airport. We need to get to Santa Barbara."

"We take a vacation after you don't have a bullet wound anymore, Riley," said Patrick.

Riley shook his head and grinded his teeth before he spoke again. "No. We need to get to Santa Barbara now. Jack's nephew, that psychic guy, lives there. Juan and his goons are probably already on their way. God only know what they'll do to him-especially since Jack just seems to really piss him off."

Ben thought about what Riley said. He was right. This Shawn Spencer, his father and his friends were all trouble if Juan got a hold of them.

Ben sighed. He had a feeling that this adventure was far from over.
