Disclaimer: I do not own "The Mentalist" , but if I did, Jane and Lisbon would have gotten together already.

Minelli stomped into the bullpen and stopped right in front of Jane.

"What did I do now?" Jane sighed. "All week, people come over to me, accusing me of stuff. Each time I have an alibi, but people just keep coming because they need someone to blame. Why is it always me though?"

"Because most of the time it is you!" Minelli replied.

Jane just waved a hand. "So what happened now?"

"Hey Boss," Lisbon said to Minelli. When she seen his face she sighed, saying, "What did Jane do now?"

"Lisbon!" Jane cried, tired of getting blamed for everything (even if he did do some of the things). "I. Didn't. Do. Anything!"

"Let me show you what he did," Minelli said, ignoring Jane.

Lisbon and her team followed Minelli to his office. There they saw that there was a poker table where his desk used to be, and the whole office was decorated into a casino theme and a big banner was hung saying "Virgil Minelli lost over $157,00 last month playing poker. He has a gambling problem." There were even balloons with his face on them that said "Poker addict".

"Is that true, Boss?" Lisbon asked, pointing to the banner.

"It doesn't matter," Minelli snapped. "All that matters is who did it and I know it was Jane!"

"Why do you think it's Jane?" Lisbon asked.

"Come on Lisbon!" Minelli cried. "You've known him for nine years now! You know what he is like! He is always pulling pranks and acting like a fool!"

Lisbon glared at her boss. "Maybe that's true, but you can't accuse Jane of doing this without any proof."

"Thank you Lisbon!" Jane said, relieved to have someone on his side.

"Shut up Jane!" Lisbon snapped.

Rigsby was glad that one thought it was him who pulled the prank.

As Lisbon and her team left Minelli's office Jane pulled Rigsby to the side. "I'm impressed. I didn't think you had it in you to go after Minelli. Is it true about the gambling?"

"Ya," Rigsby told him. "I found out by some of his poker buddies. And you know Director Bertram? He has lost over twice as much money as Minelli."

"Really?" a voice said from behind them. They turned and saw Minelli standing nose to nose with them.

"Oh shit," they breathed.
