Everything was going wrong for the CBI team, suspects were escaping, witnesses knew nothing and all the computers were down; but what really worried the team was that something big had just happened on the floor below. They didn't know exactly what, but Patrick Jane was already smiling, and that always meant bad news.
Patrick Jane was having a fantastic day; all was going well. He had helped two suspects escape wrongful arrest and that meant, the CBI had been once again been saved from being sued. His boss didn't seem to happy with him, so he thought he would cheer her up, and what better of a way to cheer someone like Lisbon up then to make her problems seem small (or rather, create a disaster for someone else to clean up). So Jane headed down one floor with a bag full of paper clips and yellow crime scene tape.
The paper clips were all hooked together in a mess of many long lines; firstly, Jane covered all the doors with the colorful paperclip chains, making it not only very hard and annoying for anyone to both open and close the door but also making it hard to move just about anywhere. Next, Jane pulled out the yellow crime scene tape, he wrapped a bit around the door handle and then, with a smirk, began running around the office area spreading the tape everywhere around the people-free space—as it seemed that everyone was on a lunch break. Jane then snuck back up to the floor above, he handed the leftover tape and paperclips to Roy the Janitor, who simply looked confused while Jane went to lie back down on his couch, as if nothing had happened.
Ten minutes later, Agent Hightower came marching into the Serious Crimes Unit bullpen, she shoved Lisbon's office door open, and demanded that she join her in the bullpen before she stomped over to Jane, who was innocently laying on his couch, pretending to be asleep.
She pulled him up off the couch, without warning and stared him down.
"What's going on, ma'am?" Lisbon asked, in confusion.
"Have you been down on the third floor recently, Lisbon?" Hightower asked.
"No, why?"
"Because," she began, eyes still pinned on Jane. "Crime scene tape is everywhere and colorful paperclip chains cover all the doors, and there is only one person in this whole building, who has the time to make such a mess"
"Me?" Jane asked, while pointing at his self.
"Yes… you" Hightower growled. "And you're going to get your ass down there, and clean it all up right now!"
"But I didn't do," Jane defended, before he smiled. "Although…I did see Roy walking around with paperclips and a roll of crime scene tape…"
"The janitor?" She asked with her arms crossed against her chest. "Why would he make more of a mess for his own self to clean?"
"I don't know, I'm just telling you what I saw." Jane explained.
"No, you're making that up."
"Excuse me," Lisbon interceded. "Are you insinuating that one of my people is lying?"
"Oh it's all right Lisbon, she has no evidence; she can't charge me with anything." He said with a bright smile in her direction before he ended the conversation completely. "Have a nice day, Agent Hightower"
Once Hightower was gone, the whole team took the elevator down to level three and they burst into laughter as soon as the doors opened.
"Thanks Jane," Lisbon said, grinning. "That made my day."
"I was hoping it would." Jane smiled back.
