oooOOOoooOOOooo

"I'll try, Gus," she said as she hung up. She pushed open the doors and surveyed the room worriedly. Chief Vick was at her desk, a shocked look on her face. Shawn was sitting in one of the chairs right in front of the desk. He turned just as Juliet walked in and his expression was unreadable. Just as Juliet was about to open her mouth, Chief Vick shook her head.

Shawn looked down at his feet and mumbled, "I'm sorry, Jules."

"Shawn…what's going on?" Juliet looked from Shawn to Chief Vick then back to Shawn again. Although Gus had forewarned her on the situation, she hadn't been prepared. She had hoped that Shawn really was just discussing a case. The mere idea of Shawn resigning had never crossed her mind before that moment. Juliet tried to mask her emotions, but she was almost positive that he was reading her like she was an open book.

He lifted a finger to his right temple and said, "I sense that you already know, Jules. Gus had called you?" Juliet saw that he was desperately trying to cover up his sadness by lightening up the mood. Typical Shawn.

"That's right," she said with awe.

"Am I ever wrong?" he said with a ghost of a smile. He rose from his seat and nodded at the Chief. He trudged out of the office. Before he walked out, he glanced at Juliet. His look made her catch her breath and she watched as he left. Once he was out of sight she turned back to the Chief who was still shaking her head.

"What just happened?" Juliet asked.

"Mr. Spencer came in and told me that he was leaving Santa Barbara. He explained to me that Psych would no longer be of service to the Santa Barbara Police Department. I just…I don't understand…," The Chief took her head in her hands.

Juliet realized she would get better information if she asked Shawn so she rushed out as fast as humanely possible and raced to catch up with him. He was getting himself situated on his motorcycle when she stopped him.

"Jules!" Shawn exclaimed when he saw her.

"Shawn, what do you think you're doing? You can't just leave because of something one girl said! What do we do when we're stumped? Who are we going to call? Forget that, think of the people you are going to leave behind! What's going to happen to Gus? He'll forget to have some fun in his life. Your dad! The chances of you two ever reconnecting would be over!" Juliet screamed at him. As she went off in a rant, he took off his motorcycle helmet so that he could examine her properly. His penetrating stare caused her to finish before she could even go on about the rest of the people that obviously cared about him.

"What about you?" he asked innocently.

Juliet had expected something else so she hesitated before asking, "What?"

"You just talked about the SBPD, and Gus, and my Dad. What about you?" Shawn gazed at her with his warm, hazel eyes.

"Of course I would miss you too, Shawn!" she said exasperated.

He shook his head as if he had been hoping for more. He then replied, "Abigail won't miss me." Juliet's heart tore as he spoke. She longed to reach out and envelop his hands between hers. Her heart had always called out to him, but the timing was never right.
