Shawn hurries along a path as Gus and Emily trail behind him.

"Babes, I'm so excited. Thi-", Shawn says, giddiness apparent in his voice.

"Babes?", Emily asks confused, cutting him off.

"I'm trying it out."

"It's stupid."

"Your face is stupid."

"You're stupid."

"Cut it out you two.", Gus huffs.

"Whatever. As I was saying.", Shawn throws a glare at Emily who rolls her eyes.

"This is my first use of spy technology."

"Yeah, it would seem much cooler if it didn't have Sports Illustrated pasted on the side.", Gus says.

Shawn looks at the logo on the binoculars.

"Came with the subscription.", He shrugs before continuing to look through them.

He is looking at a cabin across the lake from them. They can see a couple of kayaks and a red sports car.

"Are you gonna tell us why we're here now?", Gus asks Shawn impatiently.

"This is the Orso family cabin where young Malcom and young Cameron spent all of their summers growing up."

"Wouldn't the police have checked this out?", Emily asks.

"Malcom is so far out on the periphery of Camdens life that he's not on the witness list. He's not in anybody's list. (Puts down binoculars) This is great. Camden McCallum deserves to be commended. (Looks through binoculars again).", Shawn explains.

"Maybe you should date him too.", Gus quips earning a glare from Shawn and a giggle from Emily.

He always loved her laugh. He even found himself smiling despite the glare he was sending Gus.

"Maybe I will.", He shoots right back at Gus.

Gus grabs the binoculars from Shawn.

"Let me see. Let's see here.", He says while looking through them.

Through the binoculars, Gus sees Camden McCallum's dog trotting along the shore of the lake.

"Oh no way.", He mutters.

"What?", Emily asks as she shoves Shawn out of her way to stand by Gus.

Shawn falls to ground with a moan.

"What have I told you about moaning in public Shawn!", She scolds him while looking through the binoculars that Gus had handed her.

"It makes people uncomfortable so don't do it.", He recites.

"Good boy."
