"I can't believe you can be so irresponsible, sometimes I wish you would have never come back!" Henry growled at his only son. Shawn yelled back "You want me to leave Fine Dad, I am outta here. I wont bother you ever again."
When he shouted that I could hear him holding back the tears, maybe I could have apologized at that point but no, I HAD to continue and tell him; "I wonder sometimes IF YOU ARE REALLY MY SON".
Those are the last words I said to my only son after we fought at the Police station.
We didn't see eye-to-eye on a lot of things but the way he was behaving was putting the case and his friends in danger. I know that is not an excuse for what I said though.
I remember the look on everyone's faces as Shawn stormed out of the station in tears. I regretted the words almost as soon as they left my mouth but I couldn't take them back now.
Juliet gave me a look that could have killed and ran after Shawn but she was too late Shawn had all ready taken off on his motorcycle.
I just sat at my desk so angry with myself, I held my head in my hands and thought "How could I have said those things to him, he didn't deserve those words. I am so sorry son, I am so sorry"
Lassiter followed Juliet out of the station and when she saw that Shawn had taken off she begged Lassiter to take her to find him.
Lassiter gave Juliet a hug and showed her his keys saying that is what he was here to do.
Lassiter looked at Juliet and told her that he only had about a ten-minute head start on them so he could not have gotten too far. They took off with lights flashing and the searchlight on the side of the car searching for any signs of Shawn or his motorcycle
Juliet was seething at Henry "How could he say such a thing to his only son. What kind of father would do such a thing?" She vowed to give Henry a piece of her mind the next time she saw him.
The partners searched the dark curvy mountain roads that surrounded the Santa Barbra Police Station for what felt like hours. Then their heart stopped when they heard an announcement over the police radio. "All units report to a motorcycle accident at intersection of Jonathon road and Butler Blvd."
Juliet's heart dropped and she looked at Lassiter desperately hoping that he would tell her there is no way that motorcycle accident was Shawn. Lassiter wouldn't make eye contact with his frightened partner but was all ready in the process of turning his car around and heading to the scene.
Lassiter and Juliet were only about three minutes away so they were the first people on the scene.
The scene was one out of a nightmare. Shawn's shiny silver bike was scattered in about a hundred different pieces that covered the intersection. Juliet desperately searched for Shawn in the wreckage, she was praying that he would walk over to her and crack some stupid joke about what had happened.
Lassiter was the first to spot Shawn. He had been thrown into the bushes at the side of the road. His legs were visibly broken; bone was protruding out of each leg. His helmet had a huge crack running down the center of it and a part of his handlebars was sticking out of his abdomen.
Lassiter was visibly shaken but he stayed strong for his partner. Uniforms began to arrive at the scene and the ambulance could be heard in the distance. He had one of the uniforms stay with Juliet as he went to check on Spencer. Juliet fought him at first but Lassiter insisted fearing that he would find the young Spencer dead.
Lassiter cautiously approached the crumpled mass of man wondering how he was ever going to get the image of Shawn's lifeless body out of his mind. He reached two fingers to his neck and too his surprise there was a pulse. It wasn't strong but it was there.
Stunned and surprised he went into Cop mode. Using all the first aide that he had been taught over the years he did what he could to stabilize the Psychic. He assured Shawn that Juliet was near by and the ambulance would be her to take him to the hospital in just a minute.
Before he waved Juliet over to his side he leaned down and told Shawn, "Just for the record I am glad you came back". He waved Juliet over and she rushed to his side holding his bloody lifeless hand. She looked horrified but Lassiter assured her that he was alive.
The ambulance arrived at the scene they worked for 45 minutes to stabilize all of his injuries, Juliet rode with Shawn to the emergency room.
Lassiter went back to the station to inform Gus and Chief Vick what had happened. He wasn't sure how he was going to face Henry yet. Lassiter didn't even want him at the hospital after what he told Shawn.
Lassiter walked into the station and the first person he saw was Henry. With a look of anger on his face Lassiter walked to Henry and punched him in the face. Henry fell to the floor. Lassiter began to yell at Henry " I hope you are happy with yourself the blood on my pants is YOUR SONS BLOOD! We found him all right, he wrecked his motorcycle and is now on his way to the hospital and I am not sure if he is going to even survive the ambulance ride!"
Every person in the station was now watching the two men. Henry stayed on the ground stunned at what he had heard. Chief Vick and Gus came running to Lassiter and told him "forget this lets get to the hospital."
When the group of friends arrived at the hospital they spotted Juliet in the waiting room. She ran to them to give them a hug and told them that Shawn had made it to the hospital but he was brought into surgery and I haven't heard anything yet.
The four friends sat in the waiting room in silence and they waited and prayed. Prayed that the young man that they have all grown to love would make it through surgery and be all right.
