We went to the house with the affair photos, with Shawn knocking on the front door. Of course a young man had answered to see us.
"Hey. Got some questions for you about some illicit pictures." Shawn told before holding up the envelope.
He didn't say anything before running back into the house, making Gus run after him.
"Spencer." I told making him go after him with Gus while I jumped off the patio.
"Man."
"Come on Shawn!" I exclaimed making him run after me.
The man ran out of his yard and we ran into Gus and Spencer. We looked at where he was running to see he ran down an alley.
"But we already know where you live!" Shawn exclaimed before we began to run after him again.
Gus and Spencer took the lead while Shawn grabbed my hand so we could take a shortcut through some backyards. I jumped over the fence, before I kicked him so he stumbled back a bit and Shawn swung out on a rope, knocking him down to the ground. Gus and Spencer slowed to a stop when they saw us and I could tell Spencer was not doing well from all the running.
'We really need to get him to do more running.'
"We call that 'Sammy Floyd's tree house ambush'." Shawn told before he reached down and gave the man a hand up.
"Okay, okay. Okay. You got me. I'll give you your pictures back." He admitted confusing us.
"What?" Me and Spencer questioned before Shawn spoke up.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. We have pictures of you, Dude. The ones Old Man Fuller was blackmailing you for. What pictures are you talking about?"
"I work at a one-hour photo. I thought you were asking about the pictures of hot, naked chicks I sometimes keep." He told making me pinch the bridge of my nose.
"Wait a minute." Gus told before holding up the picture. "This isn't you?"
"No. But it kinda looks like my dad from about 30 years ago when we first moved here." He told.
"Man, it was an old picture mixed in with the new ones. We couldn't tell the difference because they're all black and white." Shawn told as Spencer checked his phone.
"Yeah Penelope got back and said some showed older signs then others. Wish we knew that before hand."
"Same."
"So we're looking for his dad?" Gus asked.
"Yes." We all told minus the man.
"He passed away a few years ago." He told making Shawn shake his head.
"No. Who's this woman in the photo?" Shawn asked.
"It's not my mom. That's for sure. She died before we moved here."
"Same." I told.
"Well, who the hell is she?" Shawn questioned making him raise his hands up defensively.
"You know, don't really feel comfortable talking about my family secrets, all right?"
"What's the name of that one-hour photo where you hide your filthy debauchery?" Gus asked.
"We're also fbi." Me and Spencer told showing our ID's.
"I remember my dad had a female friend who would visit only at night." He quickly confessed.
"Uh-huh. What was her name?" Me and Shawn asked.
"I don't remember."
"Do you know she lives?" Gus and Spencer asked.
"No."
"God you are useless." I stated.
"Can you tell us anything? I just swung from a tree." Shawn told also annoyed about the lack of information.
"When she left the house would smell like White Linen perfume. I remember it because it was the same perfume my mom used to wear when she was alive." He told making Shawn sigh.
"So our culprit is a woman?" Gus asked.
"Apparently. Who looked like that 30 years ago." Shawn told.
"If only we were older back then to know." I told.
"Yeah. She's hot." He told.
"What?" Me, Shawn and Spencer asked as one from what he said.
"You have problems." Gus told before we walked away from him.
As we walked around the corner we were surprised to see Billy there.
"Unkie!" I exclaimed before jumping into his arms.
"Hey Bunny."
"What are you doing around here?" I asked before he put me down.
"Came to see you." He told making me smile before he looked up towards the others. "Baby face."
"Hey Billy."
"Still the lanky fella."
"Yeah pretty much."
"Hey Billy." Shawn told and my uncles smile fell.
"Shawn."
"Yeah ok."
"Hey Billy." Gus told with a wave which caused Billy's smile to partly return.
"Gus."
"Come on." Shawn complained.
I began to sneeze again which confused Billy a bit.
"Sorry. Something has been making me sneeze."
"You aren't catching a cold are you?" Billy asked as he checked my forehead.
"No. Just can't work it out."
"Have you been near any Gardenias?"
"Yeah. Why?"
"That sets off your allergies. It's why you sneeze."
"Good to know."
"It slipped my mind, I was dropping some off to Vick as thanks for letting you work with them. I probably still have some on me."
"How did you not know that?" Shawn questioned.
"I don't know. I just thought I had allergies when we did that garden business with the job we didn't finish."
"It at least explains why you always sneezed when we were learning about the flower stuff in chemistry." Spencer stated.
"So true."
'I guess I learnt something about myself.'
