Chapter Text
Shawn and Gus had taken the kids to the beach further away from Santa Barbra, just for the fun of it, but Lassiter gets stuck working for the week. He doesn’t mind it very much, because he loves his job, he’s just a little angry that he doesn’t get to see his kids having fun. Shawn, of course, will send him a million pictures, but it’s not the same. Halfway through the vacation, the department gets a huge kidnapping case, and without Shawn, they need to call in a consultant. Her name is Kacey and she seems to be absolutely obsessed with Lassiter.
Kacey comes into the Police Department four days into Shawn’s vacation and two days after the start of the case, Lassiter immediately takes a disliking to her. It’s very possible it’s because he may or may not feel like she’s trying to replace Shawn. He admits this to Juliet late one night when they’re going over paperwork and she just assures him that she isn’t trying to do anything like that.
Kacey absolutely wants the consultant job at the SBPD and she will do anything to get it, even if that means sleeping her way to the top. Who better to sleep with then the grumpy Head Detective who is obviously not getting laid by his wife? So she gets cozy with him or at least that was her plan, he seems to have no interest in her whatsoever. Kacey doesn’t understand, she’s pretty, blonde, and has big boobs, what is there not to like? They solve the case and Chief Vick gives her a job anyways but expresses that Kacey is no way replacing their previous consultant and that he will always be their first choice.
Shawn and Kacey meet the day he gets back from vacation, he barges into the SBPD with a Pineapple Smoothie in his hand and a smile on his face, his best friend Gus right by his side looking annoyed.
“Look, Gus. I’m telling you, I should go on vacation more often. I swear it was the best-” Shawn cuts his sentence off when he notices Kacey hovering around Lassiter’s desk and saunters over. “Hellooo, I’m Shawn Spencer, Psychic Detective and you are?” His voice is in a deep flirt and he takes a large sip of his smoothie.
Kacey smiles, “I’m Kacey Bennete, new consultant of the SBPD.” He seems gullible enough, Kacey looks, and no wedding ring, maybe she can manipulate him into telling her things about the Head Detective.
