Patrick Jane arrives to CBI headquarters at six in the morning with boxes of donuts and a USB drive to implement his plan to embarrass the team leader, Teresa Lisbon. He grins, hands the guard a donut before wishing the guard a good day as he goes through the security checkpoint. He goes to his couch, leaving his suit jacket and the rest of the box of donuts.

Taking the USB drive, Jane sneaks into Lisbon's office to access her computer. After turning on the computer and waiting for it to boot up, he plugs the drive into the proper port and opens the folder that show up on the desktop. Browsing through the files in the folder, Jane finally finds the picture that he is looking for.

Copying the picture to Lisbon's machine, he then removes the USB drive from the computer and slips it into his pocket. Jane then opens the desktop settings and changes the background to the picture he's just copied over. Saving the changes, he then turns off the machine and slips out of the office.

Jane places the box of donuts on his unused desk and settles back on his couch just as Lisbon and the rest of the team arrive. Lisbon eyes flick over to the clock, which reads ten minutes to seven, before raising an eyebrow at Jane's presence on the couch.

"You're here early, Jane."

"I missed your beautiful smile, my dear Lisbon," remarks Jane, flashing a smile at the dark haired woman looking down at him. "Besides, I decided to bring donuts and figured I should be early every so often."

Lisbon shakes her head, grabs a donut and heads into her office. She drops her briefcase next to her desk then hangs her coat on the back of her chair. Sitting down in her chair, she hits the button to turn her computer and as it is booting up she checks her voice mail.

She turns her back to her computer screen as she listens to her messages, including one about a new case that Minelli wants the team to get right on. She turns, hangs up her phone and goes to pull the information on the case that Minelli sent to her on the computer.

Her jaw drops, her face turns red and she sits absolutely still in shock at the picture that now decorates her computer screen. Several thoughts run through her mind, though a few stick out to her. These thoughts include 'How the hell did he get this on my machine?', 'Damn…' and even 'That stupid, childish, sexy pain in the ass!'.

By this time, Jane figures that Lisbon either has seen or is about to see his picture gift. He walks over and peeks in her office to see her staring at her monitor. Quietly slipping into the room, he walks around to stand just behind her chair with his trademark grin. Leaning over, Jane whispers in Lisbon's ear, "If you wanted to see me like that, all you had to do was ask."

Her head whips around as she glares at the blond haired man behind her as she asks in a deathly soft voice, "Why did you put a nude picture of yourself on my computer, Patrick?"

"Me? Why would I do such a thing?"

"Because you think it's your job to irritate the hell out of me. Because this is the kind of stunt you would pull. Because you are an immature, annoying, pain in the ass of a consultant!" She pokes him in the chest with every word as her voice slowly rises in volume.

Jane grabs her hands to stop her poking him and teasingly says, "It's not so bad. Just a little picture between friends, though someone might get the wrong idea with you talking so loud."

Lisbon lowers her voice to an angry whisper, "Jane…"

"Patrick," he interrupts.

"Jane…"

"Patrick," he interrupts again.

"Oh fine. Patrick, why did you put a nude picture of yourself on my computer?" She asks again, as she rolls her eyes slightly at his insistence of her using his first name.

"Because…"

Lisbon grabs Jane's vest and shirt, pulling him down as she growls in his face, "Why did you, Patrick Jane, put a nude picture of yourself on my work computer?"

"Because I wanted to see your reaction," he replies placing his hands over her. "Oh and to do this," he adds before he leans down and placing a soft butterfly kiss on her lips.

Kimball Cho gives his boss's office door one quick knock before opening the door to find her being kissed by the team's consultant. "Sorry for interrupting, boss, but Minelli just called and said we need to hurry on this new case."

Lisbon jumps back from Jane like she's about to be burned, her face bright red from the blush that's spread across her cheeks. Jane smiles and says, "Mission accomplished."

"Patrick, shut up."

"Whatever you say. Oh, I'll be taking you to dinner tonight. If you're really good, you'll also get the real deal instead of just the picture."

"Jane!"
