"Now let me do the talking" Shawn said, I trailed behind the two of them as we ran up the stairs, seeing the two detectives heading to lunch.
"Is there even another option" Gus asked.
"I want a lot of witnesses for my miraculous vision."
"There they are" Gus said pointing to them. "Detectives!" Gus called out, being completely ignored.
"They are going to ignore you both" I said, walking past them towards the couple. "Lucy, Carlton, how are you?"
"Alina, hi!" Lucy stated, giving me a small hug, "We were just about to head to lunch!" She said, stopping Lassiter from going any further.
"You just stopped us so the two morons could catch up" Lassiter stated.
"The yelling was embarrassing me" I sighed, watching the two boys run up to us.
"We have a break through thats is very important" Shawn said.
"I also have something very important" Lassiter says, continuing to walk, "It's called lunch."
"Lassiter, this is actually important," I speak up.
Lassiter stops and turns to me with a glare. "That got you on this now. None of you have my attention, none of you have my ear. How about you find a beat cop and tell them your story?"
With that, the two start to head inside the small restaurant.
"Hey detective" Shawn calls out, "Don't eat the chicken"
Carlton rolls his eyes and head back into the restaurant with Lucy.
"Don't eat the chicken?" Gus mocks.
"What's wrong with the chicken?"
Shawn nods his head over, having us walk on the other side of the street. After we get to the other side, we look back into the restaurant.
"Billy Camps is working the grill" Shawn starts to explain. "Billy has the worst hay fever I have ever seen."
We all take a closer look and look into the kitchen. Seeing Billy coughing and sneezing all over the place.
"He's sneezing in his hand" I pointed out, having a disgusted look painted on my face.
We watch as Lassiter notices the cook and stands up, making his way towards the door.
"Okay, what is it!" He yells across the street.

Carlton and Lucy sit in the front of the vehicle as I sit in between Shawn and Gus. I look over and see Shawn practicing shocked faces, as we make our way towards the scene. I send him a slight jab, making him look up at me.
"Stop that" I whispered.
I feel slight bumps, as Carlton pulls over into a wooded area. We all exit and Lassiter looks around.
"Okay, this is great" He says sarcastically, "Now what?"
"Follow me" Shawn dramatically speaks, grabbing my hand and dragging us towards the lake we were at just a few hours ago. "Does anyone have any binoculars?"
"No, see we don't carry any binoculars" Carlton says.
"Oh don't worry." Shawn replies, pulling out a pair with his free hand, "I have a pair."
I roll my eyes, but allow him to pull to the location. Shawn let's go of my hands and gives me the binoculars.
"M'lady" He says, moving out of the way so I could look. "What do you see?"
I look through the binoculars and look at the cabin once again. "I see a cabin" I whisper, pulling them away from my eyes.
Shawn takes them away from me and looks himself. "Yes, there it is!" He excitedly shouts, "Just as I saw it!"
Lassiter takes the binoculars away from him and takes a look for himself. "Want to tell me what I'm looked for, please?" He asks.
"Uhm I-I'm not sure exactly" He stutter slightly, "I see a bone."
"What? A human bone?" Lassiter asks.
"No no, rawhide?" He says more as a question. "And a ball."
"Holy crap" Lassiter says with a stunned look on his face, pulling the binoculars away. He looks towards me, "Call for backup."
I nod and rush back to the car, signaling the police through the radio.
The rest of the boys and Lucy come a few moments later.
"Get in the car" Lassiter demanded.

Lucy, Lassiter, and I make our way up to the cabin with our guns drawn. The swat team stood around us. Gus and Shawn were asked to stay back as we handled it.
Swat kicks down the door and I head in first with Lassiter on my feet. I look around and my eyes fall on two dead bodies. I lower my gun and groan in frustration.
"Wow, it's just like a saw before" Shawn smiled walking in.
"Yeah?" I said, getting there attention on me, "You saw that?" I asked pointing to the two dead bodies.
Gus looks at the bodies and to everyone else in the room. I could tell he was trying his best to hold back his panic.
"Pardon me" He said with a straight face. As soon as he stepped out of the doorway, we heard him beginning to run, screaming in the process.
I looked towards Shawn and grabbed his arm, pulling him outside.
"I'm not going to react like Gus" He spoke, as soon as we got outside.
"I would hope not," I respond, putting my gun away. "I think we can both agree that this wasn't a murder suicide situation."
"How do you know?"
I jokingly put my fingers on my temple and squint at him.
"Oh you're psychic too. That's exciting" He nodded looking back at the body. "But remember, that's my brand."
