Chapter 7| What's Going On?


"So what could be going on?" Shawn asked as they walked through the aisle of a local colleges library

Minnie sighed and shook her head as she searched for a book

"I don't know Shawn. Werewolves don't usually look like.. That" she said, pointing at a Halloween decoration

"You mean they don't look like Michael Jackson Thriller werewolf?" Shawn questioned, as he looked around him

Minnie-May chuckled lightly which made Shawn suddenly feel weird. Like something was fluttering around inside him and for a minute there he thought he was cursed. She moved swiftly through the tall bookshelves, picking books at random and flipping through them.

"Yeah no. They... There still human, but there eyes and there teeth change. That's about it. No fur, claw, yeah."

Shawn nodded and suddenly stopped at one of the bookshelves. He took out three books, a Harry Potter one, A Percy Jackson and the Olympians one, and a Heros of Olympus one. Minnie-May stopped when Shawn haulted and she looked back at him.

"Man I remember these books. Ive read every single Harry Potter book, and Percy Jackson one but never completed The Heros Of Olympus ones."

Minnie May smirked and took the Heros Of Olympus book out of his hand before looking up at him with innocent eyes.

"Well..."Bob says hello" he said as he looked up at the night sky."." she recited

Shawns jaw dropped as she put the book back in his hand.

"I had a child hood you know. Ive read everyone of these books" she smiled

Shawn tried to form words but was too shocked at probably the spoiler or the fact she had a childhood. Minnie walked away from him backwards just so she could add a "They Fire Octavion out of A Canon" before she ran away from him. Shawn was beyond devastated. How could she just do that to him?




Minnie-May looked up from her books and computer to see Max asleep at the foot of Shawns bed. Shawn was no where in sight which caused her to wonder where he went. Suddenly the bathroom door opened and Shawn came out flipping a page of "The House Of Hades". He had a towel wrapped around his waist and was shirtless. Shawn looked up from his book to see Minnie May staring at him. He immediately knew she was checking him out but went along with her as she rolled her eyes and scoffed.

"You took out the book?" she asked as Shawn walked over to his bag

"Well yeah! Oh by the way" He began before throwing the book at her

Minnie May caught it and looked at him stunned

"Yeah thanks for the fucking spoiler. My heart hurts now" he scoffed before going into the bathroom

"You can keep your shirt off you know!" Minnie May yelled with a laugh

Shawns heart skipped several beats. What did she just say? Did she just laugh? Oh shit there came the flutter in his stomach again. For some odd reason Shawn actually kept his shirt off and opened the bathroom door to see Minnie May working hard. She looked up again and chuckled.

"You know this throws me back to about a month ago when you decided to ask me to take my shirt off in your hotel room because you needed to "clean my wound" and couldn't do it with my shirt on" Shawn said thoughtfully as he rummaged through his belongings

"What did you want me to do rip your shirt? Then you would've been out in the cold boston air shirtless." Minnie-May argued back

"Well Im still 100% sure you just wanted to see me shirtless." Shawn sang lightly before chuckling

"Mhm sure, im 100% sure you have your facts wrong. I show no love and affection for anyone"

Max suddenly looked up from his sleep

"Hey! Offence taken!"

Minnie gave him a sorry look before looking down at her work. Shawn watched her from the corner of his eye as he put a shirt on. Once again the thoughts of why Minnie was the way she was seeped into his brain. He sighed and his breathing hitched when he saw a picture sticking out from the side of his backpack. He took it out and unfolded it to show his "Family" picture.

That wasn't his family anymore. He didn't even know what that was. Minnie-May looked up and quickly looked back down. Shawn had folded the picture back up and shoved deep into his bag. Minnie wondered what it was but quickly chased the thought out of her head. Why would she want to know? She didn't care about anyone, she didn't get close to anyone, and she wasn't going to start now.

After several more minutes of researching she slammed her laptop shut and let out a long loud groan. Shawn looked up from his own laptop and raised an eyebrow.

"Let me guess, your either really stressed as to what its gonna take to kill this thing or your really upset cause you've spent 4 hours in the same chair for nothing"

Minnie got up and made her way to the bathroom, running her hands through her hair.

"It's the latter" Minnie sighed before shutting the bathroom door

Max's ear suddenly perked up and there was the sound of police sirens outside. Both guys got up and Shawn opened the window curtant. Paramedics and Police officers were outside wheeling out a girl of about 15 with blonde hair up in a bun and a blue shirt into an ambulance. Her face was bloody and she looked terrible. Max looked up at Shawn who had wide eyes as he looked outside. A woman of about 40 was led out by the police officers into a police car along with two other girls.

"Woah what the-"

Minnie joined the two at the window and watched as three ladys, one wearing a blue bow, the other a green one, and the last a red one. They were speaking to the police, most likely giving witness statements.

"What do you think?" Shawn asked, looking back at Minnie who was staring after the ambulance that was now speeding to the county hospital

"Somethings going on in this town. Its not vampires, its not REAL werewolves.... I-I honestly don't know." Minnie sighed, closing the curtain to block out the setting sun

"Tomorrow we'll check out the hospital. But for now lets go get some dinner and see what we can do from here."

Shawn nodded and watched Minnie as she closed up the books. Something was going on. She seemed... Off. She was showing more emotion than usual. She was actually, from what Shawn could see, was sad. Depressed even. Something was happening, and that something was making this case even more intense for her.

But what could it be?
