{My Daughter told me that my stories were to sugary sweet and Gaye, as she puts it. This is my attempt at writing something that is scary not sweet. I appreciate your feedback, I do not watch scary movies or tv shows so I am trying to reach into my inner psycho to write this}
Shawn was sitting in the Psych office catching up on paperwork well at least he was, he was now sleeping with his head on his desk drooling on the stack of unfinished paperwork.
He was startled awake about 4 am when he heard a THUD on the wall of the Psych office. He did not think anything of it at first. It was a full moon and it seemed like all the psychos were out in force on the boardwalk. He sat twitching his hand for a moment hoping the fear would go away, then he grabbed his baseball bat and decided to check out the noise.
He walked cautiously out of the Psych office holding his bat like he was about to hit a long drive into center field. When he opened the door he saw that someone had shot an arrow into the doorframe of the Psych office. Shawn was startled to find that on the end of that arrow was a picture of Shawn that was taken earlier when he went out for peanuts. Written in red ink was the message "I am going to have fun slowly killing you Mr. Spencer, you better start getting your affairs in order because I am coming for you."
Shawn was officially creped out he started to head back in to the office when someone hit him on the back of the head and knocked him unconscious. Whoever hit him left him with another message that read "It could come at any moment, see ya soon Shawnie Boy"
Shawn was knocked out cold and he wasn't found until the next morning when Gus came to the Psych office. Gus walked around the corner and noticed an arrow sticking out of the wall and then he saw two legs hanging out of the office. He knew right away that was Shawn lying there. He ran up to Shawn and just about threw up when he saw Shawn lying in a pool of his own blood.
He reached down and felt a pulse on his best friend and when he was satisfied that he was alive he called and ambulance and then he called Juliet, Lassiter and Henry.
The three got to the Psych office right as Shawn was being loaded into the ambulance. He was still unconscious.
Henry went to Gus and demanded to know what in the world happened.
Gus showed Henry and the Detectives the arrow and the attached note and then he showed them the note that was attached to Shawn when he found him. Gus told the group that he did not know who would want to kill Shawn they hadn't worked on any high profile cases lately and things were over all pretty quiet.
The two Detectives took the notes to have the handwriting analyzed and then helped CSI bag and tag anything else that could be evidence including the arrow.
Gus and Henry made it to the hospital about an hour after Shawn had arrived the doctor came right out and let them know that Shawn had a nasty cut on his head that required stiches and to do that they had to shave Shawn's head.
Gus and Henry looked at each other and grimaced that Shawn was not going to like the fact that they shaved his head. The Doctor explained, "It was needed because the gash on his head was quit large." Henry stopped him and said, "I don't doubt that you did what you needed to. It is just that my son can be a bit shall we say vain when it comes to his hair." The Doctor snickered and told Henry that he understood he also told them that he was awake and ready for visitors.
Gus and Henry set off to the room and when they got to the room they were greeted by a freshly shaven Shawn. He looked at them cross-eyed and said "I know don't say a word about the hair".
After a few minutes of Gus and Henry trying to contain their snickering they said "Okay your bald Dude that is funny but it isn't funny why you are bald so fill us in what happened last night"
Shawn recounted the whole story from the thud of the arrow that woke him up then getting hit on the head. Gus told him what the second note said and Shawn was visibly shaken. He looked at his Dad and said, "Who could want to kill me? I know that I have put a lot of people behind bars but no big criminals lately" his Dad shook his head and promised his boy that he would go to the station latter and start digging into Psych's past cases.
Henry sat next to Shawn and said "First we need to call Chief Vick and have her arrange for police protection for you while you are in the hospital" he no sooner said that till they heard Chief Vick enter the hospital room and say "I totally agree with you Henry and it is all ready done Officer McNab is going to take the first shift."
She then looked at Shawn and said "Dear God Shawn do you know your bald"
Henry laughed and Shawn fell back in the bed in exasperation.
Latter that afternoon Henry and Gus went to the Police Station to try and figure out which one of the hundreds of people that Psych put away could have possibly want to hurt Shawn.
They were about an hour into their search when Juliet appeared in the conference room; she looked like she had just seen a ghost. The two men saw her and asked what is wrong? Juliet placed a fax on the table and frightfully uttered two words "She escaped". Henry took the piece of paper "who, who escaped?" He read it and whispered "Oh my God" Gus was really scared at this point "who escaped" he demanded? Henry looked at Gus as white as the paper he was holding, "Allison Cowely the woman that Mr. Yin was training has escaped and I bet that it is her that is trying to Kill Shawn." Guster just looked at the other two people in the room and muttered "Oh God".
They went and found Chief Vick and filled he in on the facts, Allison Crowely escaped the maximum-security mental hospital when they were transporting her to the hospital yesterday. She escaped the trucks in Los Angeles at noon that would have given her more than enough time to get back to Santa Barbara to threaten Shawn. Lassiter came in and told the group they just identified a print off of the notes and they were indeed Allison's.
Chief Vick said "We need to get back to the hospital, this woman is good and she was able to get the entire police force to go on a wild goose chase, Shawn will not be safe in a hospital with one man guarding him."
They got back to the hospital when Vick was down the hall She saw that McNab was not at his post "She yelled where the hell is McNab" they busted into Shawn's room and McNab was laying on the floor of Shawn's room with a busted head and Shawn was gone. Lying where he should be lying was another one of Allison's notes. "Tisk tisk you should have kept Shawnie Boy safer than this, now he is mine to have fun with" The group just stood there looking at each other stunned.
