Teresa Lisbon slammed the door to her office so hard that the glass rattled. Her team looked up in shock at the normally mild-mannered senior agent who stood in front of them with her hands on her hips. She looked ready to explode as her eyes scanned over her team before resting on the empty leather couch.

"What did Jane do now?" Van Pelt whispered to Cho. The Asian man shrugged as they all avoided their boss' gaze.

"Has anyone noticed she's become a lot more volatile since Jane joined the team?" Rigsby helpfully pointed out in a not-so-quiet whisper. Lisbon's glare intensified and Rigsby swore his shirt was going to catch on fire any minute.

"Where is he?" she asked. The agents shrugged as Lisbon's eyes narrowed. "If I find out that any of you had something to do with this, you'll be on desk duty for a month," she seethed before reentering her office with a bang.

The culprit in question moseyed into the bullpen five minutes later with a slight grin. The others just stared at him warily. The consultant's smile broadened as he took in the slightly worried expressions of his teammates.

"I see Lisbon found her surprise," he said with a smile.

"I don't think you should leave any more of those surprises," Rigsby said. "The boss was about to go all exorcist on us." Jane chuckled as he stretched out in his usual napping location.

"What did you do anyway?" Cho asked. They would all be lying if they said they weren't curious in the least bit!

"I just left her some candy," he said nonchalantly. "And I might have super-glued everything to her desk." Van Pelt shook her head with a groan.

"What? At least this way she can't throw anything at me!"

Lisbon stayed in her office for the majority of the day, and to everyone's surprise Jane left her alone. After lunch, she reentered the bullpen with a file in her hand and cleared her throat. The others listened with cool excitement as she briefed them on the next case. Field work beat paperwork any day of the week. Lisbon gathered her stuff and returned to find Jane still asleep on the couch.

"Are you ready, Jane?" she asked. He mumbled something unintelligible and she sighed. "Get him up. I have to drop off a file for Minelli. We're leaving when I get back." She stalked off and when she returned Jane had yet to move.

"Get your ass up, Jane!" she exclaimed as the rest of the team watched in amusement. The consultant slowly sat up and rubbed his eyes sleepily.

"Someone's grumpy today," he muttered in a sing-song voice. Lisbon rolled her eyes. By this point, they had gathered quite the crowd. On a slow day, the other agents amused themselves by listening to the banter of the Serious Crimes team. Lisbon and Jane could always be counted on to put on a show.

"Jane! Are you coming?" Lisbon yelled as the consultant slowly started to gather his belongings.

"Hold your horses, woman. When you're involved, I'm always coming."

He paused as the implications of his statement sunk in. There was a loud roar as the rest of the CBI started to laugh. Lisbon turned bright red, and covered her face. Jane opened his mouth, and closed it wishing he could undo the last few minutes. She was going to kill him.

"You do realize this security tape's going to be all over the office," Cho said calmly. Jane could only nod.
