Cluedo God
A.N - I was watching S2E04 when this popped into my head…the boy KNEW the crazy woman hadn't killed his father because HE knew HE was the killer just like in cluedo you know who the killer ISNT because of the cards you have or clues other people have showed you and I figured Jane would NEVER lose at Cluedo, he would be like a cluedo god!
"Miss Scarlett with the revolver in the library."
There were groans around the table as Patrick Jane grinned triumphantly. He had won Cluedo, for the 6th time that night, he was unbeatable!
"How did you know that?" Lisbon demanded, glaring at him in annoyance, "The rest of us had 2 rooms ticked off, one suspect and 3 items! How the hell did you know all of that?"
Janes smile widened, he leaned back in his chair, taking a swig from his bottle of beer, "Simple." He said, "You went to the library and guessed Mrs. White with the rope so I knew you obviously didn't have the rope or Mrs. White, Rigsby showed you a card and I had Mrs. White so I knew he was showing you the weapon because he stated at the start of the game that he had no rooms." Rigsby mumbled something rude to Jane and Lisbon scoffed, "One more game." She said, "But a slightly different version and I warn you now, I'm gonna kick your ass this time."
Jane smirked as Lisbon walked over to a cardboard box in her living room, she pulled out a board game, Cluedo, but the Harry Potter version. She dropped it on the table and began to set the game up.
"He'll still win." Rigsby said as Lisbon set the board up.
Lisbon shook her head, "Its harder to win this version." She grinned smugly at Jane, "Its got extra's, you get a set amount of house points and if you lose them your out of the game, you also get dark mark and help cards to make it more interesting AND the board spins."
"We still have no chance." Van Pelt said with a sigh, and a subtle annoyed glare in Janes direction.
"Shes right you know." Jane said, looking at Lisbon with his eyes twinkling, "I'm a Cluedo God."
Lisbon scoffed again, "You just THINK you're a God."
Van Pelt smiled to herself, but Rigsby noticed and smiled back. Cho raised an eyebrow and Jane and Lisbon were too busy eying each other up to even notice the exchange.
Once Lisbon had set the game up she handed out the mystery cards and the character cards as well as a sheet of paper to tick off the suspects/items/rooms as they figured them out. After getting everyone a fresh beer she sat down at the table to explain the game, "It's the same as normal cluedo, the rules haven't changed, there are just a couple of additions. You've all got 80 house points and if you lose them you are out of the game. Theres an extra dice if it lands on one of the house crests you turn that wheel and it unveils secret passages between rooms. If the dice lands on a star you take a help card. If it lands on a dark mark you take a dark magic card, the dark magic cards tell you to lose house points unless you have one of the help cards to get you out of the situation. Got it?"
The team all nodded, it was fairly simple. "Okay then, what character is everyone so I can give you the right colour?"
"I'm Ginny Weasley." Van Pelt said, making Rigsby snigger a little, Van Pelt didn't watch Harry Potter so didn't understand the whole 'you look like her, act like her…' thing but Jane and Cho did.
Lisbon handed her the blue counter and then gave the white counter to Rigsby who had just announced that his character was Luna Lovegood. Cho wasn't exactly happy to be Neville Longbottom and mumbled his annoyance as Lisbon handed him the green counter.
She put the last card in the middle, "Okay the person whose dead is Ron Weasley and I'm Hermione Granger." She put the red counter down for herself and handed Jane the last one, the purple counter, she smirked, "You're the chosen one."
"Who chose me?" Jane asked, smirking along with her. The team could feel the chemistry in the air.
Covering their sheets they all ticked off the cards they had and Van Pelt rolled first since her birthday was next.
By the time they were about three turns in Lisbon had figured out the room and the item, but she didn't have one single suspect.
8 turns in she was stuck between Draco Malfoy and Bellatrix Lestrange but she also happened to know that Jane had got it and was planning to head to the office on his next turn. She rolled a 6 and was 4 places away from the office, taking her chances she entered and picked up the cluedo envelope.
Jane eyed his opponent up and she just smirked at him, she even managed to look cute when she was amused at his displeasure.
"I think it was Draco Malfoy with the sleeping draught in the Potions classroom." Lisbon said, taking the envelope out and actually cheering and punching the air when she realised she was right.
Jane laughed, "Maybe the trick is the more drunk you are the better you are at cluedo." He teased, after her…8th or was it 9th? beer of the night throughout the cluedo games.
"Maybe you can't admit that I just kicked your ass." Lisbon fought back, standing dangerously close to him and feeling his breath on her skin.
"If I admit that you kicked my ass at cluedo will you admit that you're in love with me?" Jane teased her, he was smiling at her with that charming smile that she couldn't resist and she REALLY wanted to kiss him…but she wasn't that drunk.
"Hm let me think about that." Lisbon said, pretending to think it over for a few seconds, "Uh, hell no."
"I'm still a God of Cluedo." Jane said, refusing to lose his title after he'd only just earned it.
"Ha! You're a God of something anyway." Lisbon said, her eyes widening as she realised what had just come out of her mouth. The team were watching the scene as if it was a mildly interesting TV soap.
"Oh really?" Jane asked, a small smile on his lips, his eyes twinkling, as he walked over to where she was now leaning on the kitchen counter. He placed one hand at one side of her and his other hand at her other side, his face inches away from hers, "And what would that be?" He asked in a whisper, almost making Lisbon shiver.
"Annoyance." Lisbon said, cocking her head at him, smiling coyly, it was most definitely not what he wanted to hear, but he bit back, he leaned closer and whispered into her ear, "And you're a goddess of bad sarcasm."
Lisbon grinned at him, this time she leaned forward and whispered, "Ah, but you still love me."
Janes eyes widened as he realised that she knew, Lisbon knew she had one over Jane for the first time in her life so with a grin she slipped away from him, whispering in his ear as she passed him, "When the others leave stay for a private game of cluedo." With a devilish grin she made her way back to the team leaving Jane leaning against the counter so shocked that he was lost for words and lets face it, that really didn't happen often!
The End!
