"So when do I get my money?" Shawn asked.

"Money?" Lucinda, Lassiter's blonde female partner, asked as she opened up the interrogation room door.

"Yeah. The reward. You guys arrested the store manager. Am I right?"

"Why don't you let us ask the questions for a while?" Detective Lassiter suggested as he moved to the opposite side of the table.

"Okay,"

Diana couldn't help but write down that Lassiter and his partner were 'doing it' after watching Lassiter brush through his partner's ponytail.

"So, which questions might those be?"

"Ooh, I don't know," Lassiter claimed sarcastically as he moved over to the mirrored window, moving to the side a bit so Diana could still watch the show. "Like where were you the night of the last robbery?"

Diana couldn't help the snort that came out.

"I was robbing a stereo shop," Shawn said sarcastically. He laughed as soon as he remembered who he was talking to "I wasn't. I don't know. I guess I was doing the same thing you were doing, not solving crime,"

Diana wanted to pound on the window at her twin's stupidity.

"You're not helping your case here," Lassiter said.

"My case." Shawn closed his eyes "No wonder De followed us down here. You think I'm actually a suspect?"

"Oh, you're our lead suspect," Lassiter gloated.

"I gave you the guy," Shawn argued.

"He had a partner,"

"I have to find that guy? I'm confused. When do you start chipping in?"

"See, your information was good. So good, it could only have come from the inside,"

"Inside of what?"

Diana couldn't help but bang her head against the wall in frustration at her brother's stupidity.

"Look, I've called in dozens of tips, okay? Just check it out,"

"I did," Lassiter said "I checked out a whole lot of stuff. Like, oh, you're currently unemployed. Never held a job for more than six months. And you have a criminal record," he listed as he flipped through Shawn's file.

"I was 18,"

"Oh. 18? Well, that makes it okay. Let me just scratch this out,"

"I borrowed a car," Shawn reasoned with Lassiter's partner.

"You stole a car,"

"To impress a girl,"

"Look, forgive us, Mr. Spencer, if this seems far-fetched." Lassiter's partner spoke up.

"Would it help at all if I told you that she had a bit of a reputation and I was 0 for...high school?"

"Your twin's right behind those doors, we can get her to corroborate your story," Lassiter explained with a smirk.

"Okay, fine." Shawn said as he rolled his eyes "There were extenuating circumstances. The arresting officer was my father. He was trying to teach me a lesson,"

"Did you learn it?"

"I learned I hated my father. So sure,"

"Pardon me if I'm just a little skeptical. Believable as it is that you solved all these crimes...I'm sorry, what was it?" Lassiter flipped to Shawn's statement "Watching the local Channel 8 news reports,"
