Prompt: "You have to listen to reason!"

"But reason is boring!"

It was all that Pru could do to not roll her eyes at the situation that she found most of the team in. the problem (at the moment; she wasn't even touching Nate's drinking right now) was that Parker was continually going off-script and ignoring Nate's plans, though she was till getting the job done. Though, Pru and Alec did share a worried look when the elevator fell, since it did look like it had decapitated the rest of the team.

Pru sighed. She knew that she would need to have a conversation with the thief, since it seemed as though the rest of the team was at the very end of their ropes. Pru was just thinking about that as Nate, Sophie, and Eliot followed Parker into the office, all arguing loudly.

Eliot suddenly turned to Sophie. "You need to go talk to her. It's not the first time she's gone loco."

Pru spoke up before Sophie could. "Don't worry about it, Soph. I got this." The manager quickly followed Parker towards the thief's office. "Parker, I think what everyone's feeling is that, if you want to take insane risks on your own time, then, by all means, go ahead. But when we're on a job, you have to consider the rest of us. Which means that you have to listen to reason!"

Parker paused going through her mail and looked at the team manager. "But reason is boring!"

Pru sighed as Parker grabbed one of the envelopes and pushed past her. "Parker."

Parker ignored Pru and threw the envelope down in front of Alec. "This isn't for me. It's addressed to somebody named Alice White."

Pru furrowed her brow as she leaned against the door jam. "Parker, you are Alice White."

Alec smirked slightly as he handed the envelope back to the thief, who frowned. "It's one of the aliases I made for you. Vegetarian, bookkeeper. She had a pretty wild time at her sister's wedding in Phoenix. You should check out her Facebook page."

"Alice White has juty dudty."

"Damn, I am good."

"Yeah, congratulations. Alice thanks you for getting her out of it."

Pru had been looking at Nate during this exchange and smirked slightly. "I don't think it will be that easy, Parker."

Nate smirked as well. "Pru is right. Jury duty. A place where you have to follow instructions."

Sophie was a little wide-eyed. "Where you have to consider other people's point of view."

Eliot chimed in then. "Ther's going to be normal people there, Nate."

This caused Pru to scoff. "I can help her with that."

Nate smiled at Parker. "You're not getting out of this. Alice White is reporting for jury duty."
