"Gus did you see that?"
"No Shawn, my back is to the window"
        Shawn scowled.  "There's some guy out there.  Gus it looks like he's hurt".   Still looking out the office window, he stood up and put on his hooded jacket.
"Oh great idea", Gus snorted.  "Go save a creepy guy".
         Shawn stood up from tying his sneakers.  "I don't remember telling you he might be creepy."
        Gus stared hard at him from his desk.  "No, but an injured man, limping around our office at night, in the middle of a storm...sounds kinda creepy."
       Shawn squinted out the window again.  "I don't see him anymore."      
       Slightly irritated, Gus looked back down at the papers he was reviewing.  "Great.  Maybe he snuck around back.  Maybe he's an 'assassin sent to kill us'.
"Gus if anything, he'd be sneaking around back to break in and eat our brains".  Shawn took a warm up jump. "C'mon buddy, I need your help."
"With what? Saving an invisible zombie?  There's no way you're getting me to go outside, Shawn.  Especially in the rain".
     
       Shawn looked nervously out the window again.  "No, seriously dude.  I know what I saw.  There's some injured guy out there".  He headed toward the door, still looking up and out the window behind Gus' desk.  "I think he fell".  The memory of a figure hunched over in the rain flashed before his eyes.
 Gus turned and looked out the window now, too.  "How can you even see anything out there?"
"Dude I KNOW what I saw!" Shawn yipped, growing antsy.  "Are you coming or not?"
       His friend turned back to him, a little irritated.  "No. I am not going outside in that rain Shawn.  I'd probably get pneumonia and die.  You shouldn't go out either.  I don't want to have to listen to you when YOU get pneumonia.  And I am NOT taking care of you.  I'll let you die Shawn."  Gus scowled and looked back at his papers.  "Not to mention, even if you did see a guy, he's creepy".
"Whatever man," said Shawn distractedly, but slightly irritated.  "And by the way, that case you're looking at? The ex-wife did it.

Gus huffed and shuffled the papers away as the fake psychic stepped out the door into the pouring rain.
