Juliet slammed the passenger door to Lassiter's car. This was the only logical place Shawn and Gus could be. It was near the cabin, and there was a small stream nearby. She couldn’t believe she’d let this happen. She was just out here hours before arresting Arthur and she hadn’t even thought to look for Shawn and Gus. She was mentally kicking herself for it. But then again, she hadn’t even known they were out here. Lassiter immediately started to bark orders to the officers and Juliet joined him as they all headed out to search. It wasn't long before Juliet heard Shawn calling out for help. He didn't sound like his normal self at all. Lassiter started in the direction of Shawn's calls and they found Shawn and Gus within seconds. Shawn was …show more content…

If you know he’ll be fine?” Juliet questioned. Shawn turned to face her, “I’m not worked up. I’m perfectly okay.” “You’re sure?” “112% sure.” Shawn smiled at her.
