It was just after lunch time as I made my way back into the building, getting stopped by Lassiter.
"Yes?" I ask, looking up towards the man.
"Shawn Spencer is here." He bluntly stated, grabbing my arm gently and taking me towards the interrogation room.
"Why is he in here" I asked, finally freeing my arm from his grasp.
"He's our lead suspect"
"Our?" I asked quizzically, "I don't think he's a suspect."
"The guy had a partner." He stated, as we made it up to the door.
"Who?"
"The store manager."
"You think that guy is his partner" I asked, looking him dead in the eyes.
"I don't think, I know." He spoke, ushering me inside the room.
At the table stood Lucy and Shawn. He had brown shaggy hair, a slim face, and light eyes. I watched as he studied everything about me as soon as I entered the room.
"Eye's up here" I stated, seeing that his eyes lingered on my ass a little longer than I expected.
His eyes shot up towards mine and gave me a cheeky smile as I sat down across from him.
"This agent has gotten anyone and everyone to crack" Lassiter proudly spoke, patting my shoulder.
I rolled my eyes and took the folder out of his hand. I flipped through a few of the files and studied Shawn as I did so.
"Mr. Spencer" I asked, sitting down the file.
"Call me Shawn" He quickly interrupted.
"Shawn.." I corrected myself, "Where were you on the last night of the robbery?"
"I was robbing a stereo shop" He said confidently.
I small smirk played on my face, while Lucy held an annoyed expression.
"I wasn't" Shawn laughed, hold his hand up defensively "I don't know? I guess I was doing the same thing you were doing. Not solving crimes."
"You're not helping your case here" Lassiter spoke up behind me.
"Case." He said more as a question. "Wait, I'm actually a suspect?"
"Oh, you are our lead suspect." Lassiter said as he smiled.
"Correction, he is your guys' lead suspect" I spoke up, "Not mine."
"Still?" Lucy asked me.
I looked from Lucy to Shawn. Shawn stared at me back with a little bit of hope in his eyes.
"You guys kind of put me on the spot here." I answered her, "You didn't let me prepare for this interrogation. What I have gathered from Shawn, only after just meeting him, is that he's smart. As soon as a person walks into a room, he studies them, figuring out who they are just from a few details. I read in the file that you just gave me, that he was arrested for stealing a car when he was 18. Yes, technically he has a criminal record, but my mom used to work with his dad. I remember her telling me that exact story. His dad was trying to teach him a lesson about stealing. So, I'm not going to look more into that whole criminal record thing you wrote about" I said turning to Lassiter.
"Thank you" Shawn sighed, "But I helped you catch the guy?"
"He apparently has a partner" I piped up.
"And you want me to catch that guy?" He asked, "When will you guys start pitching in."
"Hey, right now I am defending you" I spoke up, "That could change quickly."
