Ok, so I'm new to Psych stories and not as goofy and ADHD as Shawn so I might not be quite as in-character as I want to be...but that's what your reviews are for right? ;) I love this show but my cousin and I agreed that Shawn should get beat up a little more. Those are always the best episodes. Anyway that's where this came from. Hope you enjoy it!
Disclaimer: I don't own Psych. Never did, never will. Although I'm glad the guy who owns it does! Anybody read the article where he said that he wants to see Shawn and Jules get married? :D He's got to be an awesome guy! lol
Psychopath
Chapter 1
It started out as a normal day at Psych. Shawn got to the office early – well, early at least by his standards. Ten o'clock was early right? He rode his motorcycle in. He had been riding it more often lately because he knew as soon as he proposed to Juliet, (which he was planning on doing in the very near future) he would probably have to make good on his promise and trade it in for a car.
Gus was out doing his rounds before he came in, and there were no cases at the moment, so Shawn flopped down on the couch to watch the newest episode of Burn Notice that he had recorded. He and Jules were planing on watching it tonight and he wanted to be able to "psychically" tell her what was going to happen next. It was about ten thirty and the show was just starting to get crazy when Shawn's cell phone rang. He picked it up without looking at the caller ID. It was either Gus, Jules, the chief, or his dad.
This time it was Gus.
"Shawn?"
"Hey buddy, what's up?"
"Shawn, someone just tried to run me off the road!" Shawn immediately turned off the TV and grabbed his keys and motorcycle helmet.
"Gus, are you ok?"
"Yeah, I'm fine…it's just…" his voice died out for a moment and Shawn panicked a little.
"Gus?"
"Sorry Shawn, I'm fine, really. It was just really weird. The guy ran me off the road and then stared into my car before driving away. Almost like he was looking for something."
"Where are you Gus? I'm going to come meet you. We can go out for tacos once I'm sure you're ok."
Gus paused before coming to the decision that he may as well get tacos with his friend to calm down. He was done with his route anyway, and he didn't want to worry Shawn. "I'm on the highway. At the overpass right before the Sue Street exit. I'll meet you at the Speedway right off the highway."
"Sounds good buddy. I'll be there in ten." Shawn hung up, leaving Gus to wonder why he had agreed to eat this early. Oh well, Shawn never had been one to follow a normal schedule for anything, but especially not for food. Gus pulled into a parking space at Speedway and turned the Echo off. Maybe he could catch up on a little sleep while he waited for Shawn.
A half-hour later Gus was starting to get worried. There was very little traffic on the highway and even with Shawn's usual ADHD tendencies, he should be here by now. He resisted the urge to call Juliet for another ten minutes, but still Shawn didn't show. He had already tried to call Shawn several times with no answer. Finally he gave in and called Juliet.
"Detective O'Hara speaking," the peppy voice announced.
"Juliet?" Gus started, but she cut him off.
"Gus! Hi! Hey, are you and Shawn coming by the station today? I had something I wanted to tell him but he's not answering his cell."
"Actually that's why I'm calling. Shawn was supposed to meet me at the Speedway on Sue Street forty-five minutes ago and he's not here yet. And he's not picking up his cell phone for me either."
Juliet's voice was laced with concern as she tried to put what Gus was saying together.
"Could he just be off…somewhere? You know how he gets sometimes."
"The Psych office is only ten minutes away though. I allotted plenty of time, even for his extra excursions," Gus protested.
"Well…I'm technically not allowed to do anything until he's been missing for forty-eight hours, but why don't you come down to the station and we'll see what we can do."
Gus nodded, even though there was no one there to see. "Alright. I'm on my way." Gus hung up with Juliet and pulled out of the Speedway.
I hope Shawn is ok, he thought to himself. I'm sure he'll be fine. He's just being Shawn. But inside his gut he had a feeling that something was very wrong.
