Author's Note: A fun request from bprice which was "Parker should steal a pet store or a puppy mill or an SPCA so she can drive the team nuts trying to adopt all the animals!" This was one was lots of fun, but a bit of a challenge to write. I hope you enjoy it though!

Bark! Woof! Bark!

Nate freezes as he's about to put his key into the lock of the team's headquarters. Behind him, Sophie raises an eyebrow. She doesn't like dogs very much. They were way too noisy and they slobbered over everything! Cats on the other hands, they were cool and sophisticated. Cats she could handle—dogs not so much.

"Did you get a dog?" Sophie questions her sometimes lover. "Because I really don't think that—"

"I didn't." Nate explains.

"Then, who—?"

They both exchange a look that explains everything. Sophie rolls her eyes while Nate sighs.

He puts the key into the lock and enters the room. They're not surprised to see who it is, but they are shocked at the severity of the situation.

"Damn," Nate curses and Sophie mutters something that only she can understand. They both realize that this was going to one hell of a long day. "Parker."

"Hi!" She exclaims with a smile and it's only then that Sophie sees the whole room. Parker—the insane thief—has at least ten puppies swarming Nate's room. They are adorable, to be sure, but Sophie is positive that their not Parker's and if they're not Parker's then she probably stole them. "Aren't they cute?"

Sophie has to agree that they are as a little Shiba Inu puppy waddles up to her and demands some of her attention. Sophie debates internally for a moment about what to do, but the puppy's eyes seem to beg for Sophie to pet it and Sophie can't help herself. She bends down and strokes the fluffy fur of the puppy and then gets mob by three others who are just as cute and just as loud.

It's during this scene that Eliot shows up and the Hitter seems utterly confused by the display of events. Parker quickly jumps up—a baby Rottweiler in her hand—and hands the puppy to him. It barks happily and begins to lick his face.

"What the hell, Parker?" He snaps angrily and Parker frowns as she avoids his gaze.

"I might've taken them from pet shop," She muttered guiltily. "But they were so cute! I wanted them!"

They all exchange a glance and they realize that Parker stole these puppies. Sighing, Eliot sits down and gets jumped on by two other puppies. Parker laughs as a little Golden Retriever licks his hand. Sophie sighs and shakes her head, but is actually happy to see these puppies. Nate, on the other hand, isn't too thrilled. Who knows what damage has been done to his apartment and chances are his new bed post has been chewed to bits, but he likes the way Parker is smiling now. She seems so happy and carefree and she's even gotten Eliot to grin now.

And then she says the one thing that everyone has been dreading:

"Can we keep one?"

And that is how, Voleur—French for thief—a cute Shiba Inu puppy came to be the Team's dog.
