Rule Two
Sneaky people expect sneaky things
Holly smirked a very Artemis-like smirk. Her office was right across from Trouble's, so his office was the best to prank. She was watching him use some vulgar language when he realized too late that all the screws in his office chair had been loosened. She looked away, but did not forget to record. Rarely did she get to indulge in such pranks, as it was a god idea to keep on your commanding officer's good side when you were in the middle of an IA investigation.
Forty minutes later she walked out of her office to get coffee. It was only the third coffee break, so Trouble had not given her the evil eye yet. After she returned to her desk, she put down her coffee, and narrowed her eyes. Trouble was known for pranking people who pranked him, and there was sure to be something wrong with her office. Maybe he booby-trapped her keyboard. She touched it with her finger then backed off. Nothing. She checked the chair. Nothing. She checked the cabinets and ceiling. Nothing.
After a full hour of searching, her coffee was cold, and she went to get another one. Trouble smirked behind his V-Board. He called Foaly and asked "When is the timed foam going to go off?"
Foaly smirked. "In about twenty minutes."
Trouble smiled. "Where did you get the idea?" He would never tell Foaly, but the idea for putting timed foam capsules in the ceiling was pure genius.
"Fowl. He didn't just teach Holly his rules."
Trouble groaned. Not the Mud Boy again. "What are his rules? Only Break into a jewelry store when officers that can be bribed are on shift?"
Foaly grinned. "He has Fifty one. Rule Two saved you commander."
Trouble was interested in spite of himself. "What's rule number two?"
"Sneaky people expect sneaky things".
K, there rule two!
